We Did It!

We bought a new boat and we love it! Everyday it is warm enough, we go out on the lake with friends...because there is plenty of room!




































Reading Week

I adore reading stories to Katie's class so when they had some sign ups and not enough parents volunteer, I may have done it a bunch of times! Plus I convinced BJ to go so I could tag along!








Weekend Fun


First a bit of camping and car racing: Pinewood Derby

Then some fun with friends on their boat!






Ray snacking on his winning candy from the Pinewood Derby






V-day at school

I got to hang out with Katie while they had a special snack! 



I am really glad Katie's teacher got a picture of Katie with her box, because I didn't. Rays was a really cool Pokemon box he made himself. He tore it apart the second he got home too. 






Happy Birthentine's!

If you don't remember, BJ's birthday is on Valentine's Day so this is what he named it this year! I love him so much and I don't know what I would do without him. On his return flight from Germany he had a serve allergic reaction and ended up staying in the hospital while they got it under control. When he saw an allergist this is what the next week looked like for him:





Evening Pills:



and another bunch for morning pills.

Unfortunately, he did have to be gone for business on his actual birthday. Here we are hanging out before he had to catch a flight and as soon as he got back we had some of his favorites, like cheese bread. 



This is what I wrote on his Facebook wall: Hey! On this the day of your birth, I wanted to thank you for being the single most important person in my life and making it so wonderful! Even from a distance, you brighten my life and make it worth living!! Enjoy your day, Sweetie! Te amo!! Juntos para Sempre!!


Off to a Running Start

Snow and Digital Learning days made it feel like we were homeschooling again! We loved it and it worked out because Ray was sick for some of them and didn't have to miss school!








Ray and Katie's Nerf War!!!






Meanwhile BJ has been getting ready to go boating once it stays nice. He took some friends and Ray to the boat show!



Unfortunately, after a week of being healthy and going to school, Ray came down with the flu that has got everyone scared this year. It was just as BJ headed to Germany too! I am so grateful he has really great friends that were willing to give Ray a blessing in his absence! Poor kid, had a fever almost the whole week and didn't back to school till Friday! 


His favorite part about being sick was playing board games with me!
We had some pretty memorable battles playing Risk! 


Meanwhile, BJ was traveling for work to Mexico with Antonio and even a trip to Germany!
