Caden's Field Trip and Basketball

I chaperoned Caden's class to the Perot Science Museum. 

That morning before I headed to the field trip, this google photo memory popped up on my phone that I had taken the kids to the perot that day four years earlier.  Here's a pic of 4 year old Caden.

Caden just loves basketball, and he's enjoying this season.  He had a season high 12 points in a game against a few boys from church, which also happened to be the week Nana and Papa were over from Tyler to watch.  Here's a video of one of his baskets.



Annabelle's Basketball and Auction Prep Work

Annabelle started her first season of basketball this month.  She enjoyed it!

 

She played Upward through Park Cities Baptist Church, where Caden played in kindergarten.  Annabelle running out during introductions.

One part of the auction is the raffle.  Eight of us spent a few hours on a Saturday night putting the packets together for the students. 

Clockwise from the left: Beth McFarlane, Kaylie Bailey, Hilary Baker, Allyson Crow, Angie Buja, Robyn Tilger, Laura, and Vanessa Collins. 

 

The day before heading back to school it was warm enough to swim!  Annabelle swimming with her friend Hadley Tilger.  

 

Annabelle went shopping for fascinators with me.  We were trying to show everyone options at different price points.  Here are pics of Annabelle and I shopping at Sam Moon. 

 

I went hat shopping at a more upscale location with some auction team friends.  Laura, Mie Mie McGowan, and Amy Anderson.

To get kids excited about selling their raffle tickets, we made a video using Annabelle's dolls.

Christmas with Mimi and Tia

After Mimi and Tia returned from California, we celebrated with them.

Annabelle received her horse trailer before having a horse, so she was really hoping that Mimi and Tia would give her a horse.  A big smile when she saw it! 

So excited about her horse for Violet and Maryellen.

Brian got tickets to the Cotton Bowl.  The kids watching the "Greatest Showman" halftime show from the Hunt suite.

 

We went to play with our friends Luna and Belle at Luna's school over the break.  Luna was responsible for taking care of the animals at her school.  The kids watching the chickens.

Annabelle loved picking up this white chicken. 

 

We picked kale from the garden.   



Juillerat Christmas 2018

We headed over to Tyler the day after Christmas.  Rebecca was unable to come because her mother was having surgery.

Annabelle's gift was too big to fit in a gift bag, so she had to go on a scavenger hunt.
