Friday Favorites: Winter Break Edition

We have enjoyed a pretty wonderful Winter Break. School breaks come around just when we need them and we are so thankful!! This break has been one of my favorites. Here's a look at what we've up to...

*Last week baseball season kicked off for these two! Terrell is coaching their team and we are thrilled they can be on the same team this year. Layton is still learning but so excited about playing. And Austin is the older brother-pro. 😊

They were so cute getting ready to leave for their first practice. (I had to miss because Garrison and I were off to soccer... our first season ever of 2 different sports between the kiddos. #yikes)

*On Saturday we celebrated Layton turning 4 with his Superhero party and I found a picture that includes all of us... even Terrell's head! Haha! 

*After the party was over and everybody left, Terrell promised the boys he would jump in the pool. Which he did! #crazy But since we wouldn't let the boys get in because FRIGID water, they were satisfied with putting their feet in. (Our backyard is still a big mess but landscaping begins next week! YAY!!)

*On Sunday after church we celebrated my Paw Paw's 92nd birthday with family and a big Sunday lunch. We had a great time getting together for another special birthday! 

*Layton even fell asleep on the couch after lunch. Bless. He was worn out and still getting over being sick. Thankfully he's back to 100% now. #allthepraisehands

*On Monday after our super fun day at Snow Mountain we came home and crashed for a while before getting ready for baseball and soccer practice. Since we had 2 different practices at two different times it worked out for me to take all my boys on dates. 😊 First up was dinner with these 2....

*Then, after swapping out with Terrell and finishing up soccer practice, I got to take this one out! I enjoyed both dates so much. (And, as a side note, Garrison Cade ate his weight in pizza and cheese bread. Gracious. I told Terrell from now on if we have to feed him after a practice we need to hit up a buffet. #wowzer)

*On Tuesday morning after sleeping in a little, going for a walk and bike ride, and showering and getting ready I took the boys to one of their most favorite places... the library! 😊 We brought home half the inventory and they had a great time. Until one, who isn't pictured, ahem, decided he was unhappy with my decision not to read a chapter book aloud that I just read to them last summer.... or sometime in the past. All is well now, but wasn't at the time. Ha.

*Since Tuesday, Garrison has read a record 4 chapter books. #readingmachine #yayforaloveofreading

*Our 2nd morning walk and bike ride in a row! It was a workout keeping up with these 3! 

*We tried out Layton's new PJ Mask game this week and it was a big hit! All 3 boys were fans. 

*A mid-week movie night is my fave! #WinterBreakperks

*The boys got to spend a good part of day with Terrell's parents yesterday and were spoiled rotten. Haha. And tonight they're off to spend the night with my parents. This break has been good to them. 😊

This week has been good for us. We took an iPad break for the week, we've been lazy, we've been playing, we've been staying up a little later and sleeping later too. It's been really nice. And fun! Tonight, Terrell planned a date for us while the boys are off spending the night and this weekend we're looking forward to more downtime and grilling out with family to kick off Spring (at least it feels like Spring is here. 😊) Happy Friday!!
