New snapchat filter...

Caeden is always dancing.

I asked Jeremy to get me a pair of bluetooth headphones, and Caeden wanted to try them out.

Yesterday, Sylvia took an old pair of Jeremy's jeans and made them fit her, then painted and doodled on them!

Jeremy bought 3 new puzzles at Meijer, and Annah finished one today!

Our friend Tracie sent me some photos of books she was giving away, and I chose some I thought our family might enjoy.  JEREMY IS READING FOR THE FUN OF IT!!!  It has been YEARS since I've seen him enjoy a book for relaxation, and it makes me so happy!

Sadie Hawkins Cupid Shuffle Dance

I got home just in time today to see Sylvia and Briley off to the Sadie Hawkins Cupid Shuffle Dance.

They looked so cute!

Caeden made it to most of the dance when Jeremy brought the wrestlers back to school after an exciting day at Sectionals--3 guys, Coby, Billy, and Evan made it on to State next weekend!

The reports were that no one was dancing and enjoying the dance, and the slow songs were country songs that my kiddos don't appreciate.  They made the most of it and had a good time though.

Homecoming Dance

Love seeing the kids get all dressed up to go to the dance with friends!

And Briley

Alexis and Sylvia wore the same pumps.

Best friends since kindergarten

Best buds since birth

The whole crew went to dinner at Chili's.  Jeremy and I dropped Caeden and Sam off there and went to Portillo's, Best Buy, and Meijer, then picked them up and took them to the dance.  

About an hour into the dance, I got this text...

If there ever was a kid who wouldn't be embarrassed by splitting his pants at a dance, it's Caeden, and I'm so glad he just laughed it off!

After the dance, most of the crew came back to our house, including Will after dropping his date off.  I made them pancakes, and they watched Goonies.  Jeremy stayed up to drive any of them home that were young enough to have a driving curfew, but they had worked it out to get everyone home safely.

They all had fun, and I'm so grateful the kids have such nice classmates and friends!

Hoco?

Sylvia's friend Hunter made this poster and asked her to go to the Homecoming dance with her. (He knew she was a big fan of Chewy.) She is looking forward to it!

Friends and Fiesta

Addie was down to surprise her parents at Reece's home track meet this week, and the kids got to see her because the girls were singing the anthem at the meet!

On Thursday after rehearsal, the girls went to the Spanish Club fiesta in the park.  Señora Lovitt too photos of Annah and Ryan trying salsa dancing.

Haha!  Ethan and Elijah 

Love these lovely sisters!

Kyle and Cameron had voice lessons one right after another today!  Actually, we were running late getting Kyle's started after his piano lesson, and Cameron was early for his lesson, so we combined them and did a lesson together!  It worked out great, because they were both working on their vocal jazz audition piece.  Sylvia even stepped in at the end to add the alto part.  It was fun!

And these guys look like they could be brothers!
