1st Day of School!

It’s the first day of school! The summer sure flew by! The girls are so excited - I think Cora a little more than Olivia ;)

Olivia- 5th grade

Cora - 2nd grade

School Orientation

Olivia and Cora had their school orientation and were able to meet their teachers. They are going to have a great year with them! 

Olivia and Mrs. Rentschler

Cora and Mrs. VanderFeen (Olivia’s 1st grade teacher 😊)

Snow on April 27th!

Before and after pics of the day. We received about 2 inches of snow today with a lot of winds. Last night we had a thunderstorm with lighting. Crazy weather!! 

A Warm Sunny March Day

Today was the 1st warm sunny day in probably 6 months.  Even though it was only 27 degrees it felt like 50 degrees with all the cold weather we've been having.  We took advantage and spent some time outdoors. Pat and I were even able to enjoy a beer outside-after all, it is almost Spring & time for porch beers :)

                                                                                          The comic says it all!                                                                 

Happy Birthday to Mark

Celebrating Mark's birthday...the weather prevented us from doing all that was planned so we "bar hopped" around Larchwood. 

Another snowy cold day

Another snowy day...what better way to spend it - at the gym

                                                                                     

                                                           

                     

Mardi Gras - St. Mary's

Today we had the annual Mardi Gras celebration at church with a cake walk and Bingo afterwords.  The girls & I made some fun Emoji cupcakes 😅😜😍😃😎for the walk. Olivia, Brooke, & I walked away with some money $$ from Bingo😃

Digging Tunnels

Digging tunnels...we had Korban for the weekend & he and the girls loved playing out in the snow.  and we got a little gym time in :) 

Girls Day!

With no school on President's Day, we had a girl's day in Sioux Falls with Grandma Driscoll! We shopped until we dropped...literally.  From 9 AM- 9PM - a full day of shopping, manicures, lunch, & books!

 

Celebrating Pat's Birthday

Pat's birthday! The big 4-7! It's also the Super Bowl- not often they both fall on the same day so it's always fun to celebrate both at once! Olivia, Cora, and I started the day making him a cake with trick candles- the girls loved those ;)  We then met up with Justin's and Dan's at BW3s, and then headed to the Schemmel's for the Super Bowl. 

That's alot of fire there!
