Brrr

The view out the window today was very deceiving. It was amazingly cold. I attempted to go out for a run and ended up just trying to plow through the wind instead. My face is still red and splotchy. The weather this year has been strange and somewhat annoying making me anxious for nicer days. Haylee is almost done with basketball and we are looking forward to a few weeks off before soccer starts. She had her last practice on Monday and when she and Kenna came downstairs in these great outfits to go to practice, I just had to snap a picture. They will be mortified when they are 16 and care about what they wear. We also made up some cute end of the year baskets for all of the players and I was able to use my Cricut that I got for Christmas to make some little award ribbons for each girl. Our plan is to have a little pizza party after the game to celebrate how hard the team worked. (no wins this year, but what great improvements they all made). Other happenings the last couple weeks included a visit to see my friend Angie's baby. This picture is so cute. She looks like she is thinking "Yeah, I know I've got it good". We had a nice visit and I loved cuddling a baby for a little while. Kevin was in a fundraiser at school called "Are you smarter than a 5th grader". He did well except that he had to use all of his life lines. It was very funny and the older kids loved watching dad up on the stage. I also attempted a new recipe. I came into ALOT of tangerines and was not sure what to do with them. I found a Paula Dean tangerine cake recipe and decided to try it. It was SOOOO good, but not so good for you. I gave most of it away or brought it to bible study so I only ate 2 small pieces, but it was definitely a recipe that I would make again. Have a great week.
