February 2017

February was full of Basketball, dress-up days at school and fun with friends!

We wrapped up our first ever WNSL Basketball season and it was amazing.  The Green Frogs were so much fun to coach and watch play!  We finished the season 8-0, and won the "Love of the Game" Trophy awarded to one team in each age group.  This team sure did deserve it.  Not b/c of their record but b/c of the way they played their hearts out every single game!  We had a few players who had never played before, 3 players playing up an age group and a whole lot of heart! Each one of them improved every week and it was so much fun to work with them!

My Girls!
 We also got to celebrate one of our best friends and her baby-on-the-way, Iffy.  The girls were so excited to host a baby shower....until they got about 30 minutes into it and decided baby showers are "boring".  But they wouldn't have missed it for anything.  We can't wait to meet Baby Bridger any day now and the girls are so excited to "baby-sit"....lord help that baby!  Haha!

I told her to put on something Fancy for the shower.....
 February also means celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday for an entire week.  Which really just means dress-up days every day!  Fun for the kids...exhausting for the parents.  Nevertheless, we made it through hat day, hair day, sock day, wacky Wednesday, Cat in the Hat day and character day and the girls had a blast.
Her Wacky Wednesday outfit....basically it's just what she wears everyday
Thomas had to have a picture with Sally from Cat in the Hat
We wrapped up gymnastics and I think all the kids are sad but especially Thomas.  He loved his class!  He is now obsessed with our trampoline in the backyard and spends most of his time out there!

Thomas also had his 20 month check-up and everything looks great.  He hit a major growth spurt, and although he is still the "runt" of our family, he is catching up!  He is 34.4 inches tall (90%) and 28 lbs and 8 oz big (80%).  He is starting to talk a little bit more each day and loves telling people that he is going to turn "doo" as he calls it...and then holds up 4 fingers....it's work in progress!

We have a few weeks off and then Soccer season starts back up again!  The girls are dying to play and can't wait to be back out on the field with most of their basketball teammates and the rest of their soccer buddies!  Should be another fun season!

Here are the rest of the pictures from February:
