- Andrew loving to match with Chase
- Dress-ups galore for this girl! (bottom left playing with Grandma Parker's old jewelry)
- Baseball, baseball & baseball. Go, Cubs, Go!
- Brandon and I were contributing to family dinner by making Katherine a chocolate cake for her birthday. We were planning on making it from scratch and it turned out horribly! So Brandon turned it into a volcano while we attempted making the second cake from scratch which barely turned out. Next time we are sticking to the box mixes!! I think we were making cakes all afternoon and they weren't even tasting that good!
- We celebrated great-grandpa's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese and it was a riot! He was such a good sport and even did the ticket blaster. The kids loved it!
- Rachel had her year-end performance of Aladdin, A Tale Told Inside Out and her character was Abu, the monkey. She did a great job, and enjoyed being in a play!
- The much anticipated daddy-daughter date & dance happened and they went to Costa Vida for dinner (Rachel's choice) and she even got to pick out a new dress at Costco. Brandon snuck around the back and then knocked on the front door to pick her up - she thought it was silly, but also loved it!
- Rachel wrote her very own primary talk all by herself, we added a few things and helping with some editing at the end, but she did so great!
- Rachel has been throwing some epic tantrums/outbursts as of late, but one that needs to be documented is the time that her door got taken off. Brandon told her that if she shut her door one more time that he would take her door off. She challenged him promptly slammed her door. So he HAD to take the door off. She was so sassy during the entire thing and was doorless for probably a week. Sheesh!
