We hit the ground running when we got back from vacation, it
seems as Tess gets older we get busier. This winter we took Tess’s training
wheels off her bike. We spent quite a few afternoons and evenings outside
trying to master the art of riding a bike on two wheels. She had one big spill
and was a little cautious for some time after but she finally got the hang of
it. The deal was if she could ride between the two light poles on our street
without falling then she could pick out a new bike. Once we gave her a goal she
was determined.
When she got the hang of it she was so proud and would look
back to make sure we all knew that she had accomplished something.
She would switch off who she wanted to start her off,
depending on how she felt that day. She has gotten pretty good and she even was
able to pick out a new bike.
I will say that this winter was pretty cold, Tess even
missed a day because of ICE. She enjoyed the extra time off and Clayton of
course had to work. This year we always knew if the weather guys were
predicting bad weather and Clayton had to work that it was going to be real. Rosy
enjoyed the Snow/Ice, Lexi enjoyed the warm house. Tess is going to be
disappointed when she doesn’t see snow again till she is an adult since she saw
it twice this year.
This winter we also went to see the Monster Trucks, Tess
liked them but she has let us know she wants to do something else next year. A
local radio station does a promotion so it’s a cheap night out for the three of
us. We had fun, but I guess I will have to look into other options for this upcoming
winter.
I took some time off this year to come celebrate Valentine’s
Day with Tess. The Kindergarten Classes put on a program where they sing songs
they have learned and then we go back into the classroom and have a small
party. After about 10 minutes the teacher starts letting the parents know that
you can sign the paper on the table and take your kids home if you want. So we
took Tess home and did some shopping. She was excited that I took off from work
to see her program.
Easter was a lot of fun this year. The HOA board organized
an egg hunt for the neighborhood and it was an awesome day for it. The weather
was nice and not a cloud in the sky. There was a hunt in the morning and then
activities throughout the day so it was a good day overall. Tess had fun
playing with her friends and hunting for eggs.
We celebrated Easter with my family this year, we headed to
church in the morning and then went to my parents. The Easter bunny visited
Tess and gave her a scooter as well as a bunch of other stuff. She had to try
her scooter out before church. Of course we had to take an Easter picture with
the snapchat filter. It wouldn’t be a holiday without it!
We also bought confetti eggs at the store, and brought them
over to my parents’ house. I think
everyone had a lot of fun in the front yard.
The Guns ‘N Hoses games was a little earlier than normal
this year which was nice because it was cooler than normal. It wasn’t the best
day because it rained during the Dynamo game so we had to seek refuge in some
seats that we in the covered section. In the end the cops won but it was a good
game. I think that the game will not be played at the stadium in the future
since the Dynamo haven’t been treating the teams as equal partners. 
I am going to wrap up this post with a small collage of
School Pictures. Tess had an awesome first year of school. Both Clayton and I
loved her Teacher. Tess absolutely adored her, she enjoyed going to school every
day and I can say that she has grown so much in just one year. My little one
can pick up a book and read it. She constantly amazes Clayton and me with how
smart she is and how much she is learning. We can’t wait for what next year is
going to bring but we will have some summer fun first!
