March Pizza Night

The Yahtzees hosted Pizza night in March. The weather was great, the kids were nutty, and the adults got lit. Good times.



Ellie shows off her stuff.



A face only a mother could love.



Much better Ry-Ry.



Olivia Newton Lily is back.

Being silly.

Those wacky kids.

I have no explanation, other than there was lots of beer.

Schmoopies.

The hosts.

Ethan & Audrey making a mess.

March randoms

Just a few randoms pictures.


Lily "helping" mom vacuum the kitchen floor.



Alex & dad have some cake on Joe's birthday. Cake that Alex baked at Open Arms no less.

March Snowstorm

Early March brought a wicked snowstorm (well, wicked for Virginia). Alex bundled up and head outside to play with her neighborhood friend.



Snow time.



Usually you lay on your back for snow angels.



As you might have guessed, they didn't last too long outside.

February Wrap Up

To finish off February, a few pictures that capture a moment or two.



Alex working away with ingredients for her Easy Bake oven.



Looks like a natural, doesn't she?



Lily geared up to go out for a walk with the family.



You think we were taking her out into a blizzard.

Joanne's 60th

Joanne threw one hell of a good party for her 60th birthday at Tuscarora Mill.

Joanne's nieces - Amanda and Kelly.



Cote was clueless that everyone else was goofing off.



Joanne & Joe.

Lori in Town

Lori was in town visiting family and we decided to crash her sister's place to spend a few hours with Lori and Jake. It was good to meet the little guy, and see Princess Lori is always a treat.



Alex, Jake, Anna Cecelia, and Javier.



Lily likes the silly lady.



Couple of cuties.



Alex loved holding Jake.

Nice smile.

Cote likes the little guy too.

Must you pinch the poor kid?

Joe finally gets to hang with the baby Sikra.

Alex's Belt Ceremony

Before we knew it, Alex had successfully tested again for another belt in Tae Kwon Do - orange this time. So the family packed up to catch the February morning ceremony. We found out that Alex's nickname with the Masters is the "Female General".



A stellar example of discipline and focus this one.



Alex joins her classmates on center stage.



The students receive their new belt.

The Master gives Alex a hand.

Alex receives her certificate.

Lily loved the padded mat.

The wall-length mirror was great too.
