Super Bowl

 

It's Super Bowl weekend and man, this city is hyped! And while we didn't end up winning I am so dang proud of the team and the coaching staff. It is so fun being able to know some people in the franchise and cheer them on! We are proud to be Chiefs fans! And on the flip side, so proud of Tom Brady and what he's done!!! Very cool! I loved these little crafts the kids did!

Game day ready!

Go Chiefs GO!

Leanne & Family come to KC

We had some visitors come up from Dallas to stay with us for a week and we were SO excited! Leanne and her crew were such amazing guests! We had a ball!

They happened to be coming the week before the Super Bowl which meant that KC was at it's greatest. First stop was to Union Station and Science City.

 

LET'S GO CHIEFS!

  

It was our first time seeing the train exhibits and they were AMAZING!
 

And while we were downtown we took some pictures.
 

Leanne & Ben are Patriots fans but it was still fun to show off KC a bit :)

Fancy hats at school!

Baby Daphne was the cutest baby and gave the best snuggles. 

We headed down to the Plaza to explore a bit and it was freezing. 

I am so obsessed with these pictures though. So dang cute!

Daphne was losing her little marbles in the car, so we stopped so she could nurse and I took these two to explore the Nelson-Akins Grounds.

The two youngest great-grandchildren. (Currently)

We had nightly glow stick dance parties.

We had a daily craft.

We explored some parks.

And Leanne helped me update some lights!

WE wanted to ride the carousel, but it was closed so the kids went up and down the escalator probably 20 times. 

More crafts.

We played in the snow for a bit. Snow is magical.

And we had tasting competitions. Ben got all 6 flavors right and it blew our minds! WE had such a great time and as Leanne and the crew pulled out of the driveway, I just brow down crying. I'm so grateful for family. Such a great week!

January Phone Favorites

Oh January, you are usually my hardest month. I feel so sad after all the holidays are over, It's cold and dark and there isn't much generally to look forward too but this year was so different. It was slow, relaxed and calm. It was a month full of random business that kept me on the go, but very few large things that needed my attention and it was glorious! Cheers to this months phone favorites.

Okay blue eyed babe, you are stunning!

The constant hand washing and sanitizing at school has destroyed Duke's poor hands. Using allllllll the lotions. 

Happy Birthday to Gram.

First time we've had stroganoff in years and it  was delicious!

I love

you!

I threw out my back in the middle of January. Literally could not stand and it was awful. After a week things were still tender and so I started seeing a chiropractor. Turns out, I need to learn how to squat properly. 

Sibling snuggles are the best. E is such a wonderful Mini Mama.

Spring Cleaning!!!! AHH this cupboard feels SO much better!

Our first Zoom church and it was so strange! 

Its our least favorite time of year again. When a busy Daddy becomes even busier. Jakob is ramping up for his CFA test in June. You've got this babe.

took some pictures of Millie and Sprout. They look like prom photos and a cannot stop laughing every time I look at them. 

Duke's teacher asked us parents to make up a wall of affirmations for the school to come by and take one. This is the card that E chose and it makes me smile. 

We were supposed to decorate our car for teacher appreciation day. There were a total of five cars decorated. We had so much fun!

GO BEAR GO!!!!!!!

 

 

Duke also won at Catan with his little glasses road. Good job dude!

Boys *insert eye roll*

These amazing children BOTH got the ROAR award and other certificates at school today. Oh my loves Mama is so proud of you. 

Okay February I'm ready for you bring on the valentines, cupids and candy hearts!
