February Fun (and snow!)

Busy busy around here!  We're finishing up basketball, getting ready for One Act Play competitions, swamped with unit sets work, getting pumped for our youth D-Now weekend, finishing up grad school (4 weeks left!), and all the stuff in between!  Here's a look!

Caedmon opted to play on JV his Junior year and has had a GREAT season!

Snow day!!  We got 1-2 inches and lots of ice and our kids got 2 snow days!  It set us back business-wise a little bit, but the family time was SO worth it!

We love our big hill in the snow!




Yes, that's an awesome Texas A&M Starter jacket from the 90s!

He didn't want to take this picture....but I had just given him money for the Winter Formal so he obliged. #bribery

So handsome!

We had 3 deliveries in Arlington that went super fast, so we snuck in a game of TopGolf!

A very good hair day!  So I had to document in and send it to Cambree ;)

Hugs from my baby, who is now several inches taller than me!

Blu was so excited to eat at Cheddar's and play this video game...

Gorgeous Texas sunset!

21st Anniversary!

On January 6th, we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary!  For our 20th, we went skiing in Vail, CO, but we usually don't take the time to celebrate.  This year, however, we had to make a delivery up north of Amarillo, so we decided to spend the night in Lubbock in our wedding night hotel, Barcelona Courts! (Now Embassy Suites...because it's been 21 years.. ;) It was so nice to get away just the two of us - we even dressed up fancy and had the NICEST (ahem, most expensive!) meal ever at a country club steakhouse! (Thanks Mom & Dad!)

It doesn't matter if I'm on a diet, if I'm sick, if I'm whatever....I will NEVER turn down creme brûlée - it's my most favorite dessert!

I had filet mignon with lobster tail, roasted asparagus, and truffle mashed potatoes!  Blu opted for the prime NY strip steak!

The lobby of our hotel

It was SOOOO cold!

The courtyard - the breakfast down there was just as good as we remembered!  

 

Happy New Year 2022!

We had a SUPER low-key New Year's Eve at our house!  Caedmon was out with friends but the other two stayed home and we hung out, watched a movie, did a few fireworks and then headed to bed!  Here's to 2022!

Ringing in the New Year with sparkling pink lemonade!


Blu & Cason shooting off fireworks!

A quick pre-party trip to Starbucks!

This guy....



It was festive, even if it was just the 4 of us!




Approximately 7 seconds before a flame landed in my sock and burned a tiny hole in my ankle - it STILL hurts!!
 
Cason had a fun day with his best friend Abby in Abilene - zoo, Spiderman movie, and Prime Time Entertainment!

Cloud snuck into town for his 42nd birthday and had lunch with the original Tidwells at the Runaway Train!

We've been doing this a lot lately!  Cam has gotten great at the guitar, Cason is learning the bass, and Caedmon jumped in on the drums (though he prefers just to sing!)

Speaking of handsome Caedmon... ;)

Cason & Abby

Basketball pictures for Cambree!

Random hugs as we waited in line FOREVER to ride 3 rides the whole day we were there!

You can see we were doing a great job chaperoning the youth... ;)
