Landon Turns 6

After the Newell Skate night Landon knew he wanted to have a skating party this year.  The funny thing is that night he spent more time on the ground than actually skating.  He also wanted to invite all his friends from school.  So, that's what we did! Landon invited 11 boys and 6 showed up.  It was the perfect number.

Landon was a skating machine with the help of a walker.

Singing happy birthday to our 6 year old.

Light Saber cupcakes

Someone loved the cupcakes more than skating

Landon's friend Katie was there for another birthday party so when Landon's party was over they spent some extra time together.

Landon was excited to invite his teacher.

A little after party fun!

Happy 6th birthday to our sweet little boy! Mommy and daddy love you so much and are blessed to have a little boy with such a caring heart! ❤️

Have a fun day Landon💙 at your Star Wars party roller skating with your friends💙Love you Grandma and Granpa

Traelee Turns 1

Pink and gold sparkly theme.  

Carissa allows throws adorable birthday parties.

We love this girl!

Carissa had a time capsule that we each wrote a note for that Traelee will open on her 18th birthday.  Once I finished writing my letter I looked on YouTube using my iPhone 6 plus (wrote that on her letter) to learn how to fold a paper heart.  

Landon grabbed a paper and wrote his own letter; it was super sweet.

Landon will be 24 when she opens it.

To Traelee it is your birthday.  I love you from Landon. 

Happy birthday Traelee Mae; we love you!

An ice storm came through Nebraska causing two days off from school.  As much as I didn't want it to happen it was so nice to stay home with the kids and it was a much needed break.  It was also absolutely beautiful!  

One day after school I was walking up to the house and the kids' and Kurtis' foot aligned perfectly so of course I added mine.  I love our family of 4!

These two adore each other to pieces!  

You're never to old to snuggle with mom.

On January 28th, 2017 Landon lost his first tooth. He had been complaining a week prior that his tooth hurt and when I checked it out it was wiggly.  He was excited to get $2 from the Tooth Fairy.

We celebrated something this day, but I honestly can't remember what it was. 

The first social gathering of Stolley/Starr staff.  This will be a great team next year.

One evening I was scrolling through Facebook and came across this live video about pearls.  Of course I had to click on it and fell in love immediately.  Kristi, the consultant form GA, is so fun to watch.  Six nights a week she opens oysters for people.  You buy the setting for the pearl up front and then the pearl and opening is free.  She opens them live, cleans and measures them. I watched several nights in a row and then decided I really wanted to try it.  I got everyone at school addicted to watching as well so it was super fun to open my own.  

I got a silver white pearl valued at $46 that will look great in a twister necklace.  

Mr. Jingles made his way back from Howard to Stolley after a meeting one afternoon.

Yep, it's basketball season. Scott was being interview prior to their conference championship game.

The kids loved dancing along with the cheerleaders.

The Aurora Huskies won their Conference Championship!
