It's gonna be a long one....Catching up!

For the last month or so, I've been swamped with school and life, but we've still been up to some fun stuff! Here's a quick recap.

Nathan and Madison were both signed up for swim classes on Saturdays during January and February. So every Saturday morning, we'd head out to the community center in the frigid cold...in our bathing suits. Nathan's class was a 'mommy and me' class and Madison entered her class alone. Typically I was the brave one (uh hem, Scott) and got in the water with Nathan, while Scott watched Madison's class. But this particular day, we changed roles and I took pictures! Nathan had a blast spending quality time with his daddy...something that doesn't happen nearly as often as it should!

Madison had "Wacky Wednesday" at school...a day she was looking forward to for a MONTH! The idea of wacky Wednesday was to wear crazy clothes, crazy hair, backwards clothes, etc. So here's Madison heading off to her wacky wednesday. Her shirt and skirt were on backwards, she had mismatched shoes and we did her hair all crazy. She LOVED it!

Also in January and February, Nathan took a weekly gymnastics class with his buddy, Lauryl. He looked forward to spending time with her at "jumpin' jellybeans" as well as seeing his teacher, Ms. Sunny, and the cool stamps and pretzels she gave out at the end of every class.

At the end of February, we went with friends to see Disney on Ice! Madison has been a couple times already, but this was Nathan's first year going. He almost missed it because he wasn't feeling good on the days leading up to the show, but thankfully was much better the day of and I'm so glad because he loved it! We had amazing seats, about 3 rows up from the ice...it was perfect!

Soccer season is upon us again! Madison started practice last week and so far moving up a league has made a huge difference! Last season they had ONE practice before games started, and both the practice AND games were only about 20-25 minutes in length. This season, she has practice twice a week for 3 weeks before games start, and her practices are over an hour long. She is BEAT by the time they are done! She loves it though. They play all sorts of fun games in their practice that she then comes home and practices with us.
