Late January Catch Up!

 We've been back in Texas for almost 3 weeks now, and it honestly doesn't feel like we ever left!  We catapulted back into all of our usual activities, and the time has flown by!

A campfire cookout when we can, though it's hardly been cold enough for a fire!

Cambree used her Christmas money to buy a pet fish!

That promptly died 6 days later...

I arrived home to find these flowers that Blu had delivered and waiting for me for our 19th anniversary - so sweet!

Wednesday nights are keeping us busy - Blu drives a bus route 3 different times to pick up and drop off kids, and we've been having around 30 attend each week!  Lots of new faces!

Cambree brought back some "elephant pants" for Em!

Back to basketball!  Still winless, with only one game left tomorrow, but they are definitely having fun!

The Tidwell cousins have been hard at work at this chicken coop turned "Cuzenz Fort!"

Cambree's bestie Emily got baptized the Sunday we got back!

Cason doesn't love going to 3 nights of basketball games each week, so he often stays home with either set of grandparents and gets spoiled! 

Dominoes with Grandpa and with Grandma Marie! (Cason won...)

More Wednesday night madness - with good weather, it's much less chaotic to be outside!

I love seeing Blu being used by God!  The kids LOVE him.

I found this picture on our orthodontist's facebook page!  Cambree is done - Caedmon should be done soon!

Meanwhile the NDO kids are at their new boarding school!  We loved getting this picture of Laurie!

It's hard being this handsome...

Times two.

We had a random free Saturday (which never happens!) so we made a road trip to Stephenville to see Andie play in the All Region Band concert!

These two should not be allowed to sit together...

Tidwells and Ervins

Behaving for a second..

Silliness while we wait!

I'm still taller!

No I'm not...

More fun at Hard 8 Bbq in Stephenville!

Facts.

On MLK day, Cason got a group of friends to meet him at the carnival in town for a couple of hours of fun!

Caedmon had OAP practice, so we went and enjoyed some Starbucks!

Caleb, Caed, Ventura, and Chris at Wednesday night supper before church

Cambree and Andie played each other for the last time in Junior High last week!  It's always fun to watch them play together!

There were a lot of us there!  We were loud.

Cloud and Rita were in for a few days so they were there too!

14 of us to watch the game.. did I mention we were loud?

Saturday night cookout at Paw & Bmaw's!

We try to let our kids have sleepovers (especially on Saturday nights so their friends can come to church with us) as often as possible - we love getting to know their friends!  Cambree and Emily had fun Friday night, while Caedmon stayed out with a group of friends at the trampoline park until late.  Cason and Rex had a blast together on Saturday night!

It's on to another busy week!  3 basketball games, 2 OAP practices, Wednesday night church, and a 3 day theater conference in Houston!
