January
January is always a slow month for us and this one was no exception. The kids enjoyed the slower pace and spent time outside and with friends. We did squeeze in an outing to the Fort Worth Zoo.
February
Things picked up just a bit in February. We celebrated Valentine's Day and the kids were in Aunt Catherine's wedding. At the end of the month Shawn turned 40!
March
Spring break was this month and we took the kids on a Disney Cruise! It was a blast. Evan lost his very first tooth in March. All the sports started back up and we had a few fun outings too - Crayola Experience and Em got to stay the night at the Gaylord for Aubrey's birthday.
April
We started the month off by celebrating Easter. Shawn spent the good portion of 2 weeks in FL for work and while he was gone Emily hit her chin on the counter and ended up with stitches. Evan learned to ride a bike with no training wheels.
May
Emily made her first communion in May and we wrapped up the soccer season. We celebrated Mother's Day by going to brunch and as school started to wrap up, the weather warmed up and pool season began.
June
School ended and summer officially started. Evan turned 6 and we celebrated at Hawaiian Falls and then with friends at Strikz. We went on a family trip to Galveston with a pit stop in Houston and Edna. Baseball wrapped up for the season and Emily tried a go at Academy soccer. We also celebrated Father's Day with friends at brunch.
July
We kicked off the month celebrating the 4th of July and went to a Roughrider's game. We went to Top Golf with friends and overall just had a bit of a slower month.
August
Summer wrapped up, but not before we enjoyed a few more fun activities. Shawn had a family fun night for his work at the Ranger's game. We also took the kids bowling with their cousins. The kids headed back to school and all the sports started back up. We also kicked off a big home remodel and stayed a night at a hotel.
September
Shawn took the kids hunting over Labor Day weekend. They had a blast. We spent a lot of time at soccer and baseball games. Shawn went with my family to the Cowboys/ Giants game. Shawn and Tommy took the girls camping for a night. We finished up our remodel.
October
Emily turned 9 this month and we celebrated with an ice skating party with friends. Shawn was watch dog at school one day. We trick or treated with friends.
November
Emily got to camp out at the zoo with girl scouts. We stayed the night at the Gaylord Texan and celebrated Thanksgiving. We wrapped up all the sports and went to a Texas Tech Football game.
December
Buddy, our elf, made his return at the beginning of the month. I took Evan to see Elf, the musical while Em got to go to Great Wolf Lodge twice! We went to the Dallas Zoo and celebrated Christmas and surprised the kids with a ski trip.
It was a pretty great year! We've already got some fun stuff planned with 2019, so I'm looking forward to it!
