Little Thief....

These are the pictures I find when my phone is stolen....

 Luckily, the culprit can't help but take a selfie...

More Basketball...

Just a bunch of pictures of Avarie's game one weekend and then the tournament the following.  The tournament was an entire day in the gym, with games back to back.  They came in 3rd and improved greatly throughout the season.

Go Jaguars!

Last Game:

 Avarie was fouled and had to shoot a free throw!!

Tournament:

 TJ helped with score keeping...

 So proud of you sweet pea!!

 Lylah helped with keeping the concession stand in business...

Ruby

Because of the chicken massacre of 2014 we had to get rid of our puppy Ruby.

She was a super sweet dog but we needed her to be with a family that didn't have chickens near by.

Thankfully the Lord provided just that family. 

We were sad to see her go, but happy to see her with a family that could love her! 

Finally!!!

 We finally got the snow we had been coveting! 

 Thereby making it possible to do some redneck sledding! 

Seahawks Superbowl

 Our beloved (by most of our family) Seahawks were of course in the superbowl! 

It happened to be the day before Jon's birthday as well, a pretty great birthday present! 

We celebrated at their home and had a good handful of Fries kids in Seahawk colors! 

Spoiler Alert...they won! 

Warning Label...

So the story goes...someone asks me to make a cake for an upcoming mission auction...why of course, I would love to is my answer. 

Well, if you bake at my house you will see that my sweet daughters are always involved in the preparation.  This day was no different.  

So we begin the baking, we place everything into the kitchen-aid and Lylah is sitting on the counter watching the mixer do its job.

I am standing next to the mixer, moving things into the sink, when Lylah starts to say owe, which turns into louder owe, which turns into mommy, mommy.... 

To which do my eyes see?  My 4 year old that has hair to her waste with her head directly against the mixer!!!!!  

Her hair had gotten caught in the mixer and was wrapped around the top of the paddle!!  

The poor girl lost a chunk of her hair and it happened in LITERALLY seconds!  

So beware! If you have a precious girl with long hair, tie it up before she sits on the counter next to the kitchen-aid.  

On a side note, we made an entirely different cake! 

Basketball Mode

We are in full time basketball mode... 

The season just ended (March) and we are ready for a reprieve.  

Most of the winter was spent inside one gym or another. It was a great season and with Tim coaching both TJ and Avarie's teams we got in a lot of gym time.
