First things first: 6th Grade Field Trip & Middle School Cheer

The week before Spring Break was filled with lots of 'firsts'. 

Like.... Afton's first middle school field trip. Who knew moms could go on middle school field trips?! And who knew those very same moms would be “asked” to ride the bus 🚌 too?! Well, now I know. 🤓 And it was actually a lot of fun! Good day with my favorite 6th grader . ❤️ #mykidsaremylife 

And the first time we bought a boat... 

The first time Maisy dressed up like this, and told me she was moving to Paris to open her own Vet Clinic when she graduates from college. 

And the first time all the Jesus & Mimosa girls wore the same shirt to our monthly devotional breakfast. 

And Maisy's first time going to a 2nd Grade Open House. (Yes she has been to many other Open Houses, but this is the first one is second grade and I need to keep my 'first time' theme going. So work with me! :) ) 

These are just cute-- they don't really fit my theme :)

And finally, Afton's first time trying out for a school cheer team. And she made it! Go Afton! CTMS Cheer 7th grade, here we come! 

Afton's Confirmation

Afton went through a 4 week Confirmation program at our church. She learned what it meant to be a Christian, a Methodist, and what it means to walk in faith. I was asked to lead her group and honestly I was nervous! But God calls us-- and when we show up amazing things happen. 

I am so proud of Afton for joining the church. I can't wait to see where her journey in faith takes her. 

The Last Cotillion & 15 Year Anniversary

We wrapped up Cotillion with a final party, the Mardi Gras dance. Afton went with a group of friends and then Jeff joined her. It was so sweet that the parents were invited to dance with their kiddos. 

Afton had her Open House and shared some of her art work. Then she was super excited to earn a 'fish' for throwing her back tuck in tumbling. 

Jeff has continued to brave the rain to take care of IHOP. He is a good 'bunny dad'. 

We celebrated our 15 year anniversary. Jeff got me Hunter Rain Boots and a GoPro. He's the so thoughtful and sweet to me. We celebrated by taking the girls to Hibachi. It was fun to celebrate as a a family. 

Here's to 15+ more years!
