Photo Catch-up

As usual, I started sorting through pictures on my phone and realized there were so many that I hadn't published yet. So here comes a random collection of photos, some that go as far back as February! Lots of updates with these pics so here goes.

First swim of 2015 -- this picture was actually taken in mid-February amidst all of the cold weather. We had one sunny day in between a bunch of gray and dreary ones, so the kids couldn't resist a swim.

No joke, they actually went swimming in February!

That water was COLD. They are crazy kids!

Also in February, Kaitlynn was super excited to be able to celebrate with her best friend, Anais, on Anais's 6th birthday. Her party was at Sweet and Sassy, so fun!

Striking a pose with the birthday girl.

Makeovers and a glow stick dance party, FUN!

Then they enjoyed some ice cream and had a sleepover.

The kids are at the ages now where they constantly want friends over to play. Any chance for a playdate always brings out the big smiles.

This was Kaitlynn's expression one day when I surprised her with a special playdate with a school friend.

Kaitlynn and her best friend at school, Haasini. Such sweet girls.

Haasini gave Kaitlynn an Elsa doll. Apparently Kaitlynn had been asking her for one. Oh boy!

Princess playtime with Lily. Check out those smiles!

Matching swimsuits, too cute!

The Aasmyr and Courtright kiddos.

Now here's some pictures I found from various school events and activities since early Spring.

Go Texan Day at school, when the kiddos get to dress in their Western gear. Cutest cowgirl ever!

Yeehaw!

This was Connor's idea of "Go Texans" day. Connor went for the Houston Texan look instead of rodeo, ha!

I was the Junior Achievement volunteer for Kaitlynn's kindergarten class. Love the extra time with my girl!

I found this in Kaitlynn's writing journal at school. LOVE!!

And then there was this. What now?? (Disney World marketing folks are pure geniuses.)

Kaitlynn at her desk in school.

Kaitlynn's kindergarten teacher team is AMAZING! They all dressed up for Dr. Seuss week at school -- how cute are they?!

Also during Dr. Seuss week, Kaitlynn dressed like her favorite animal. Cute zebra!!

Kaitlynn's teacher, Mrs. Wright, turned 50 this year. All of the Kinder teachers dressed in black to celebrate. So cute!

In the car line before school one morning. Love this kid.

Bedtime stories one night. Kaitlynn has become SUCH a great reader!

Kaitlynn's choice for her favorite book to take to her weekly reading class. :-)

So now here is a very strange series of photos taken in restaurant booths throughout the spring. Apparently (1) we eat out a lot and (2) Kaitlynn and Jeff really enjoy some PDA (public displays of affection). Those two!

We went out for dinner one night and Kaitlynn was giving lots of love to her Sweet Daddy.

These two!

Finally, Kaitlynn is on a roll with her loose teeth now. She begs and begs me to pull out the teeth, but then she cries because it bothers her. For her 2nd tooth, it was quite the ordeal.

Dangling but too stubborn to come out easily.

Some tears ensued, but finally... Success!

Tooth fairy LOOT!
