February 1st--here I am doing my riot workout class at the indoor soccer field we have been meeting at.
The 2nd was Groundhog Day, of course so we had to make it awesome! Christian went out with a paper groundhog to test if he could see his shadow.
Sure did! Guess spring will have to wait.
We made pancake muffin "hills" with sausage groundhogs for breakfast,
and Christian made his own groundhog sandwich for lunch,
He was excited to see birds enjoying the feeder he made from supplies received at This is the Place Candlelight Christmas.
On the 3rd we went to my sweet grandma Quinn's funeral.
My mom spoke & each of us grandkids (Derek and Ryan were not there) spoke about some memories of her. In thinking about this, I realized how much my personality is like hers!
I love her Pioneer Days Rodeo Attendant pictures,
especially this one with Abbott & Costello.
We will sure miss her, but she has been ready to join grandpa since he left us, so we are happy for their reunion 💗
Here are my Riot gals flexing in red for heart health on the 5th.
We finally got around to assembling our groundhog cupcakes, and I think they were worth the wait!
February 6th we had a 50th anniversary party for Larry & Lana at the Timbermine.
It was wonderful and all thanks to Tammy's extensive planning and hard work.
On the 7th we had a last minute super bowl party. Hot wings and chocolate fountain!!
For Mardi Gras/Pancake Tuesday on the 9th I made some silver dollar pancakes for breakfast
and dirty rice with red beans & sausage for dinner.
Licorice necklaces for dessert.
On the 10th I dropped a weight and snapped it in half! To be fair, the metal was freezing cold and brittle.
February 11th was Christian's Chinese fair at school. He did a few activities including painting some characters. They had a back drop for this cool photo opportunity.
On the 12th but he brought his valentines to exchange with his class. He found them online and cut them out by himself 😊
I signed up to be the room mother of the Valentines party. I brought heart shaped sugar cookies, cream cheese frosting and fruit for the kids to make valentine fruit pizza!
The other activity stations were fun too.
As I was leaving, I couldn't resist a picture of the neat Chinese decorations hanging in the halls.
On the 13th (insert spooky music here) Christian accidentally stapled his thumbs. It wasn't too bad, luckily.
Tammy and Lana doorbell ditched the kids, keeping with tradition.
And on the 14th I made heart shaped egg in a nest for breakfast.
Tony had gotten us chocolate hearts and suckers from See's!
On February 19th I got to go out with the ladies from Riot on a snowshoeing expedition weekend. We got to stay at the infamous Barrus cabin & it was beautiful!
On the 20th we headed out into the snowy wilderness.
The snow was slushy and Rachel and I just kept sinking in instead of staying on top of the snow. This made it so, so difficult but I thought it times they would have to helicopter me off the mountain!
It was so hard!
It was beautiful and a lot of fun hanging out with great friends!
At the end, we went back to the cabin and ate sweet potato soup.
On the 21st I just had to get a pic of my cute kids at church 😊
I loved this meme:
February 27 we went out to Texas Roadhouse for a delicious dinner.
The next day was beautiful weather, so we headed to the park where Christian played with his drone.
