Mama Skiv went to visit one of her high school besties for her Bridal Shower last weekend.
Loved having some girly time :)
Brix had a great boys weekender back home too!

Brixton has chores! And rewards :)
I am working on a chore/reward system for Brixton. He loves to help so much, but I want him to have goals and rewards for doing some of the things he needs to do, but maybe doesn't like so much too (like cleaning up toys)
The chores we’ve started with are:
When he accomplishes a task, he gets a sticker in the alloted square for that day. At the end of the day, we count up his stickers. For every sticker, he gets a dime.
(We figured even if he does ALL his chores everyday-it would only cost us around .50 a day at most- So, $3.50 a week. Not too bad for a three year old!)
He has three jars to put his money – one for giving, one for saving, and one for spending.
I'm basically going to have him put at least one nickel in each of the jars, but he can put the extra coins in the "Spend" jar.
I think this will be really fun and motivating for him and we can have learning time too counting the nickels out.
The chores we’ve started with are:
- brush teeth (morning & night)
- empty silverware from the dishwasher
- set table
- pick up toys (before dinner time and before bed time)
- water plants--inside & outside
- and a few random ones like laundry sorting / dusting/ swiffering

Wedding of Brian & Tara
We went to a beautiful wedding today at Mayfield Park in Austin.
It was a gorgeous day and locale :) the were even peacocks walking around the grounds and lots of ponds with koi fish in them. Brixton even got to feed the fish and play with bubbles!
Joe accidentally left his camera at home, so we didn't get too many good ones :(

Cute V-Day pix!
We did a mini photo shoot through a moms group and they turned out so nice!
I'm sure you recognize the one from the Valentine's Day card, but there were quite a few more great ones, it was hard to choose.
I don't know if you noticed, but we had him hold Joe's heart pillow from his stay in the hospital after the surgery. He sleeps with it almost nightly, so I thought it would be a cute touch.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Mommy made cupcakes for school and even had enough batter left to make a Valentine's Day cake.
Brixton received so many Valentines Day cards! A big Thank You to Meemaw & G Papa, Papa, Grandma Karen and Ms. Shelly! He scored big time with an Elmo book and money.
Love you all! <3

Feeding the ducks and more!
Today we went up to a park by Spencer's house and fed the ducks, geese, swans and another we couldn't name- Brix had a blast and afterwards we played at the park. Very fun day!

Helping Mommy make a healthy, yummy dinner
We made butternut squash and brussels sprout pesto lasagna and Brix was such a big help.
He helped pull all the brussels sprouts off the stem, put squash in the bowl and mixed it all up for me.
Of course he didn't eat any of it, but it was delicious!

Soccer Saturdays!
He is getting better each week at handling the ball and following directions. Really fun to watch him progress!
