The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Keeping up with the blog this year has not been on our radar as much as we'd like.  There have been some great things happening.  There have been some difficult times.  We've even had some "firsts" that were quite memorable.  We are going to try and catch up over the next few days with pictures and a bit of commentary!  And we will definitely make "Daily Blogs" high on our 2017 resolutions list!! :)

Lynley Got Her Braces Off!

Lynley went to her first ever show at Emens Auditorium.  It was to see Blue Man Group with daddy and mommy.  It was a blast!  She saw a great show, met some of the musicians and left with her first pair of drum sticks.

                                                   

We took a family trip to the Creation Museum in Kentucky.  We had a great time and one highlight was riding the camel!!!  The petting zoo and botanical gardens were pretty awesome, as well!

Easter 2016

Boots and Bow Ties

Thursday was the Daddy/Daughter Dance at my school.  I was super excited to get a new dress and boots and have a night out with daddy.  We had a great time going out to dinner with mom and Myla and then heading to the middle school gym for a fun time.  We danced, we made trail mix and had a really nice night!  Dad said I was the prettiest girl there and I sure felt like it!

Cold January

It has been a cold January so far, but that hasn't slowed us down!  Lynley and Myla are both doing great in school, Lynley is swimming 5 nights a week and we've had many events to keep us warm!  We've celebrated our cousin Renee's wedding.  It was a beautiful and a blast and the dance floor really worked up a sweat for the 4 Filler cousins!  We spent the whole day at Granny Conner's house in our pajamas on Martin Luther King Day.  Myla taught Granny all about how to use the kindle to watch Disney Appisodes.  Lynley celebrated her 100th day of school by dressing up in Granny Conner's clothes and carrying her cane.  We went to watch Evan play basketball and we've been Easter dress shopping ALREADY!  We haven't stayed still long enough for grass to grow under our feet, but we are sure enjoying our January!
