Emily smelling her daffodil...

So Hannah had to pick a flower to smell...

Even Cowboy stopped to take a sniff.

Cowboy loves to play in sand!

William teaching Cowboy how to dig in the sand

Then to the Beach!

 The girls made cupcakes while the boys played football.

 Hannah running from waves

 Emily says the water is still a little cold.

 Hannah found a beautiful seashell

William and Hannah said they cannot leave the beach because their feet are hiding!

 William's class celebrated 100 Days of School!

 William can now do the monkey bars all by himself!

 Hannah loves to twirl!

Emily loves to swing!

 It is a warm night for January and the kids are outside playing with a tree frog before bedtime.

William catches the frog first!

 The girls told him to kiss the frog

Now Mulan was passing the frog to Rapunzel and...

the frog jumped on Hannah. The girls laughed so hard!

A fun morning running in puddles!

Emily wet after a big jump!

William's turn for...

a huge jump!

 Hannah's jump!

 Emily runs with her eyes closed!

 Cowboy is quite wet-he had fun running in the puddles and chasing the kids!

William then enjoyed finding worms

Not sure who is more excited about the dog bed-Cowboy or the kids?

A scooter ride to the pond!

Emily with Cowboy

Taking a rest break from our walk and giving William lots of kisses!

Our first Daffodil is blooming!

Cowboy now listens to the girls when they say and sign, "Sit!"

An afternoon to walk on the beach!

Hannah excited to find so many seashells!

"Can we keep them, please!"

Poor William has been sick since Monday night with a GI bug and now he has a cold.  He did not last long on the beach before needing to be carried by Dada.

Emily loves the Beach!

Cowboy loves chasing his tail!

It is so exhausting being a puppy!

Cowboy even finds the Princess couch as a lazy spot!

We are ready for the big game!

The kids lined up for a piece of LSU cookie cake.

Just a little tension in the room...

Ready for the Half-Time Fireworks Show in our backyard!

 The kids lined up for sparklers!

The girls enjoying a tea party

 Around 9 pm the girls snuggled up to watch The Little Mermaid and the boys watched Cars 2 in William's room.  With 7 kids in the house it was actually quiet for the adults to watch the end of the game.

Bill had a huge fireworks show to celebrate another National Championship!
