Mardi Gras 2015

The Hammonds and McDonoughs are going strong on our annual king cake making tradition. We have added kids all but one year (this one), but next year two more kids will join the mix (twins again...not for me). I don't think that we realized the first year, when it was just Max hanging out with us, that we would soon have eight kids between us. But hey...the more kids to eat king cake the better!

Valentine's Day 2015

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fun birthday party to go to on the big day. We had lots of fun...especially with the green icing.

Winter Time Happenings

This walk went a lot better in my head.

Addie's facial expressions make me laugh.

Sleepover. As a side note, a pillow case makes a great toddler sleeping bag.

Ready for school.

We got a fish!

This kid can sleep anywhere.

Sic 'em Bears!

I thought I heard Max playing on his watch at 10:30 at night. I went in and Ben had turned on the light and was standing over Max playing on Max's watch...that was on his arm. Max was fast asleep.

Ben and I had to take a trip to the pediatric ER for a breathing treatment.

This is after the albuterol...ready for action.

He went and grabbed my drink off the counter without me knowing. 

He said he was "drinking Papa's juice."

Cotton Bowl 2015

When we found out Baylor was going to play in the Cotton Bowl and we would be in DFW for the holidays, we knew we had to go. Due to Flumageddon, my mom and Mike's dad weren't able to go. Mike, Amy, Max and I were still able to go though. It was a great experience, and for the first three quarters I was all about it. The last quarter (when we blew a big lead and lost by one point) was not my favorite time ever (I may have cried), but it was an experience I'll never forget.
