Valentine's Day and Go Texan Day

It has been a very fun couple of weeks with Valentine's Day and Go Texan Day.  My little valentines had fun parties, Annie's and Gwyn's were at the same time, and then Jacob's was after theirs.  I was in charge of Annie's party, so thankfully Brian was able to make it as well and had his own fun manning stations in both Annie's and Jacob's classes.  My little love bug proud of her love bug:
 Gwyn acting silly at the end of her party...I slipped over  to get a picture:
 Jacob, who has a HUGE sweet tooth, absolutely LOVES valentine's day:
 Gwyn wore her shirt that G made her, Annie had already worn hers both earlier in the week, so she settled on a hand me down from Gwyn...Jacob dressed head to toe in red, even his shoes, ha!
 I sent these three in for the yearbook, Jacob and Anna Lee:
 Gwyn and Grace:
 Annie and Lillie:
Go Texan Day!  So fun to watch the kiddos square dance at school and sing their indoctrinated cultish Texan songs, ha!  So proud of Jacob for participating and wearing his cowboy gear, his teacher even gave the class free homework passes if they weren't party poppers!
 I took most of the pictures without realizing Gwyn had her hat on backwards:
 My little Texas cowgirl:
 Bus stop friends:


 Jacob danced first, here he is with his buddy Tyler:
 Jacob's partner was Isabelle, so cute, this was as close as they would get, ha!
 Jacob and his sweet buddy Adam:

 Jacob and Daylan:
 Gwyn and Avery:
 Gwyn and Caroline:
 Gwyn with Davis...her square dance partner who she didn't mind having at all:)
 Love the smile on Gwyn's face:
 Hilarious:

 Jacob had to decorate a tile for an auction project, he did Oklahoma State, he was pretty proud!

 Basketball season came to a close with Jacob's team losing in the first game of the playoffs by 2 pts...Jacob had a season high 13 points and had the best game of his season.  He was still on a high even after losing.
 The Fruit Hoops finished the season 5-2, ending with a win for their last game yesterday.  Gwyn showing off her trophy, only one girl dropped theirs at the team party and broke the head off...this has happened every year.
 Gwyn ready for school!

Funny things the kids said this week:

Gwyn to Annie:  EF, you know what that means, right Annie?  It means epic fail.
Annie:  Heidi on the bus her name is so easy, it is hi, like hi then a D.  So easy.

Gwyn turns 7!



Happy 7th Birthday to our sweet Gwyn!  She turned 7 on the 7th!  This girl makes us smile, she has the biggest heart, loves her sister, likes to terrorize her brother (when she isn't playing with him and being his best friend), she loves softball, basketball and soccer, she loves to do gymnastics, to go swimming, play outside and ride her scooter, she loves to write in notebooks, do crafts, change into multiple outfits per day, she likes to snuggle, she has the softest little belly, and she loves chocolate cake!  She had an EPIC day, starting off with 7 donuts!

 She then had a few friends who came over before her painting party:
 LOVE HER!

Gwyn with her apron getting ready to paint Flash, the painting she picked out:
 I can't tell you how amazing these paintings turned out, I could not believe it!


 Annie was serious the whole time, she did amazing!

 Finished product!
 Love hers!
Of course Brian's cake was fantastic, Gwyn painting her horse at the party, love this one...it may be my favorite!!

 Blowing out the candles:
 The girls with their paintings!
 Gwyn picked Los Tios for dinner, she stole Jason and Brian's last tortilla to make herself a mask:
 Annie found a magic pea in her rice that stuck to her finger, magic!!
 Bahama Bucks for dessert, a bust for Gwyn but everyone else loved it!

Annie kept her umbrella from her snow cone and her hyper color spoon that changed colors when it got cold to take to show and tell this week...I can only imagine all the show and tell items, last week Annie took in her Nutella cookbook that she got me for Christmas, and the week before that she took in some raw tortilla dough in a ziploc bag that she got from a mexican restaurant the night before.
 On Friday, Brian and I took lunch to the kids, since Gwyn's lunch is in the middle, both Annie and Jacob got the benefit of her birthday!  Annie absolutely LOVED us there, Brian had eaten with them last week, so she is one spoiled little girl!
 Gwyn was pretty excited!
 After lunch we had cupcakes in her classroom for birthday snack:
 Loved this picture of Annie reading What are you so Grumpy about to her stuffed animals:
 I took Jason's camera for the week, love getting pictures of the kids playing outside:


 I absolutely can't get enough of this face of Annie's:
 Gwyn trying out a birthday present:
 Love my boy, who is growing up too fast!

Annie's book report, she copied every word down since Gwyn was having to do a book report on one of her home readers, love it!
A few birthday videos:



Jacob going for a 6th brain freeze!!  Seriously, whose kid is that ??
