February 2021

A beautiful ride at Dana Peak Park. I had no idea Texas would be hit by a crazy snow storm in a week.  


It took me 45 minutes to defrost my Jeep after work. 


We used our fireplace every day to help keep the furnace from running constantly.  Roasting hotdogs and marshmallows helps keep away the cold. 


Our street. 


One of my friends took my girls in when I got called into work.  I work in the surgery department at Seton Medical Center, and basically everyone in our area decided to venture out on the iced snow and break their foot or ankle or hip. 

My friend Rebecca brought her family out to visit us for Kate's birthday.  They are saints for enduring the car rides to and from El Paso, Texas to celebrate Kate's birthday with us.  


Jane's favorite part of Kalahari resort was the wave pool.  We could always find her there if the waves were going.  


Happy birthday to Kate! I had to make both of her birthday cakes because most of the stores were closed or had nothing on the shelves.  Quite the birthday to remember!  Luckily, Kate is similar to Bryan and I, and prefers homemade cooking. 



Kate and her American Girl doll with skates on from grandma Koplin.  Grandma is the best at giving gifts the girls love.  


Jane looking good in her new tie shoes! She is my determined child.  I am always wanting to hold her back, but she knows when she is ready to conquer a new skill.  We bought her new shoes and she was able to tie them by herself within 3 days!


Kate loves crafting and she loves to "work out" with me in our garage gym. 


Bryan went to the Best Medic International Competition at the end of January.  I am so proud of his accomplishment of winning 2nd running up.  He got a coin from the 16th Sergeant Major of the Army and people joke he could probably sign up for Ranger School and get accepted into the school as the only Army Optometrist!  Good work babe!
 

Jane has become really good and sneaky at playing "Cover Your Assets".  Watch out! She will manipulate you with her facial features and emotional tactics.
