April 13th (Day 3-Volleyball Tournament Hale Arena)

Day 3: Hale Arena. Lets go girls!
Go Adelyn and BK!
(Guitar took this, BK's mom)




Well Adelyn was amazing and tried to get as many points as she could, but they lost the 1st round. Ugh they should have won, bad call from Up ref! Oh well at least we get to leave around lunch time.
We headed to get lunch at The Other Place, just me and Adelyn.
I forgot to get a picture so we took a selfie when we got home!
Great job Adelyn, you are one amazing girl and volleyball player. My favorite player ever!

 

April 12th (Day 2: Volleyball Tournament-KC Convention Center Pool Play)

Day 2 Playing at KC Convention this afternoon. 
Wow this place is busy, like 50 courts in one huge room! Ugh! 







The arch, go Addie!

Get it girl.
Adelyn is literally on fire today!
The whole team is playing sooo good!! Lets go PVA!!

Team photo!
We ate lunch before. But brought snacks but needed a special treat! Yummy strawberries, just $10 each!



Got it! 
Adelyn is killing it!
I love to watch her play!! And I yell sooo loud!

They played really really well! 
Great job girls, lets go into tomorrow with a positive attitude!
We play at Hale again at 9 am!
I had to get Adelyn a ride and I will go downtown after I get Ella off to school.



 

April 11th (Volleyball Tournament Day 1: Hale Hall-Alpaca's/Pool Play Volleyball/Rock Island Bridge)

We got the afternoon wave for volleyball tournament.
It's a 3 day tournament. Which it was nice to sleep in and being at Hale is so easy to go to then downtown!
Bonus-they had an alpaca show going on too! So cute, but smelly!








Well we didn't play very well today! The girls weren't working well together. The last game went way better and hopefully they will play better tomorrow! Adelyn had to ref so I walked over to the new Rock Island Bridge to check it out!




Look how close it is to Hyvee Arena! 
It is very pretty out too!

Gorgeous out today and by the river. The place looks so cool but there isn't much around here. Hopefully they build more around here!
 

April 15th (Breakfast for Lunch/Stairs)

I made homemade biscuits and gravy for a quick lunch to take to Ella. I ate it too! Yum!
Working on the stairs now! New treads on side going in and railings!

 

April 9th (Adelyn Baby Picture/Ella)


My sweet baby Addie. 
She needed a baby photo for ASL class. I love all of them!! And I wish she was this little again.
Ella wanted to wear her Daddy's hat to school today!

 

April 6th (Elsa/Ella/Cat walkers)

Ella going to school today with white sprayed hair to be like Elsa along with her blue dress! She also brought Venom to school.
This is what our world is coming too!
A happy couple walking their cats, not baby. Oh my! This is so weird.

 

April 5th (Happy Easter-Our House/My Parents House For Dinner)

Easter Bunny came.
Addie.
Ella.

Ella actually got up at 7:30, so kind of early for her. She was excited for Easter.
I didn't hang up any decorations this year with the renovations still going on. We are getting closer to being done with this house!!
I kept it simple this year and barely had enough for them actually! Oops. Ella still believes in everything still.  
We let Addie sleep in and Ella got to do her Easter Basket and small Egg hunt I set up.









Mayva Moo.

Adelyn is awake.

I made a big breakfast. Then made food most of the day for my parents house.
Rabbit cake, all homemade this year!
Headed over to my parents around 3 pm.




Adelyn (16), Ella (14)


Yummy food! I also made appetizers and chocolate pudding with oreos! 
I was chatting with Ruth and Lizzie earlier in the week about Senior pics. I came across mine at my parents house! Lizzie send some too! Ha. So funny!





And don't forget my glamor shot from 7th grade! ha.
