Mallory's school had their biggest fundraiser this past week. They were raising money to put covers over two of their playgrounds. They used the Boosterhon Fun Run as their fundraiser and Mallory had a fun time all week getting to do fun things as they raised money. You pledged a certain amount per lap that the student would run on Friday of the Fun Run.</div>

One day, their class raised a certain percentage, so they got to have Crazy Hair Day. I tried to do something fun with her hair sticking up but all she told me all she wanted was three pigtails so I obliged. I told her she just looked so cute with the two pigtails and then she just had the third one in the middle for fun.</div>

This past weekend was Venture Weekend!! It is our Youth Ministry's Disciple Now weekend and it is a weekend that I look forward to every year! We always co-host with The Ballards and this year was the year we have Melody's 9th grade small group. We rotate hosting our small groups each year. Next year, my group will be seniors - I can't even believe I typed it - so next year will definitely be bittersweet but back to this year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melody and I met our leaders - the two girls that would lead the small group all weekend - Annie and Lauren and we took them to dinner at Chiloso. They are both so sweet and we knew it would be a great weekend with them as soon as we met them. After dinner, we headed back to Melody's house to wait for all the girls to show up!</div>

After the presentation, it was lunch time and then all the youth had a couple of hours to just play on all of the inflatables. Mallory had a birthday party to go to so we all hung out at the youth building until it was time for us to leave. Since we had so much time, Shanna taught us a new card game - 768 - and we were all addicted all weekend. We really had the best time playing and I loved learning a new game!</div>

When it was time to leave, we got to be apart of a special thing for an 11 year old girl named Alex Kirk, who goes to Rockwall, and was just diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer. You can visit her Caring Bridge <a href="https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/alexkiker" target="_blank">here</a>. We all tied notes to some balloons so that after we let them go, wherever it lands, it asks the person who finds it to pray for Alex and to email the email on the note to let them know they were praying so you could see how many people across the state were praying. We went to Alex's house (she can't get out or go to school the rest of the year due to the risk of infection while she is going through chemo) and she came to the door so she could see all the balloons and we all prayed for her.</div>

It was a great moment and she had the biggest smile the whole time. We went back to our friend's house to put some ribbons together so we could pass them out in Alex's neighborhood and ask them to put the ribbon on a tree or somewhere on their house so Alex would know they were praying for her</div>

Remember when the snowstorm came last week? :) Hey, when it snows in Texas, I do turn into a kid again and get very excited! So, when it started to snow last Friday, all I wanted to do was to get outside and play. This is a shot of the snow falling outside my office.</div>

Mallory was staying at Grammy's (Brian Aunt Pam's) house and she and Emmaline got to play in the snow! We had watched so many Hallmark movies that showed snow at Christmas and Mallory said she wished it would snow at Christmas. I had to tell her that we don't always get that because we live in Texas so I know she was so happy to see the snow!</div>

Later in the week after Christmas, Brian headed to Arkansas for his annual duck hunting trip. We definitely missed him but Mallory and I had good time filling the time with doing some fun things together! Our first stop was to see the movie "Sing." Brian always jokes about the fact that I don't share my popcorn and I said - of course I don't :) We really enjoyed the movie!</div>

We really need to change out some of the decor in Mallory's room - some of her stuff she's had since she was a baby so we used some money we got for decorations for her room at Hobby Lobby. She is so happy about changing up her room! We actually didn't end up getting the pink picture of the flower because as I was getting ready to leave I saw a much bigger pink flower canvas that was on sale so I got that! I can't wait to see it all together.</div>

Brian came home Saturday before we headed over to the Ballards to ring in the New Year! I'm so thankful for the time off and quality time with Mallory! </div>

One of my Christmas presents from Brian was a night away in Downtown Dallas! We both had the week after Christmas off - which was wonderful - so went the Monday night after Christmas. Brian was was heading out to Arkansas for his annual later the week so we wanted to go before he left. The last couple of months of 2016, we were both very busy at work so I asked that we could do something together as a family - even if it was just going to Dallas - and he booked us a hotel room at the Hyatt downtown. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We told Mallory we were going and she was very thrilled - as was I! We honestly didn't do a whole lot but just hang out but it was so nice to be somewhere different and change up the routine! Here we are after we just arrived to our room.</div>

The Sunday before Christmas Sunday, we headed to my brother's house to celebrate Christmas with my mom's side of the family. Greg and Melody built a beautiful new home this year so it was fun to get celebrate there. I love my sweet grandmother and she always speaks each Christmas about how much she loves Jesus and all of us. She prays for us all each day and I'm so thankful for her!</div>

For Christmas this year, we started an doing an Advent Calendar and an Advent Journal I ordered. The journal was a good way for Mallory to really start learning the Christmas story and understanding what Christmas is all about. We looked at it every day and also opened one of the pictures on the Advent Calendar that had a verse of the story as well. We looked forward to it every night and I'm so glad we did it!</div>

We did a lot of other fun Christmas activities this year! One of them was the Rockwall Stingerette Holiday Camp. Mallory went on a Saturday and they learned a routine as well as got to see Santa (who she didn't care to see this year) and have fun with the Stingerettes. She was so excited about it and had the best time!</center>

After pictures, the kids played with our babysitter, Alex, so the adults could hang out and play some games. We played Say Anything first and that brought out some hilarious answers and laughs. We also played Heads Up and we all got the most laughs when we had to hum the songs in order for the Lyndsey to guess what they were. Let's just say, what I think I was singing in my head, may not have come out of my mouth - tone deaf was a word I kept hearing - hahaha. Here is some evidence:</center>

We laughed so hard and will definitely have to play that again!</center>

2016, we enjoyed all you gave us and we are excited to see what all God has in store for 2017. I know He is the only one who knows what it has in store for us right now but I'm thankful I can rest in Him everyday. I posted this devotional on my Insta-story on Saturday but wanted to share it here. Each day, I need to walk with Him and each step I take, every little moment is important as our walk with God is a process. I also read another devotional that talked about how God never lets go - even when we loosen our grip, He's always got it and that is something I'm glad I can rest in as we go into this new year!</div>

At the football game on Friday night, Mallory finally got to go on the field with The Stingerettes! Mallory attended <a href="http://amandasblessedlife.blogspot.com/2016/08/stingerette-beach-blast-dance-camp.html" target="_blank">The Stingerette Dance Camp this Summer</a> and one of the things they said they would get to do after the camp was to join The Stingerettes on the field at the first home football game. Since we told Mallory she would get to do that, she has been asking when it was time so I was finally happy to tell her on Friday that today was the day!</div>

We had a great long weekend and we were all ready for the extra day off on the weekend! I'm going back again and starting on the Thursday before Labor Day Weekend. Mallory had her first Open House so Brian and I went to meet with her teacher and see some of the things she has already done and learned since school started. She was more than happy to show us her room and all that she does during the day!</div>

Sunday morning, we went to church and I got to meet with the parents of the girls in my youth small group. I can't believe the girls in my class are Juniors this year!

I love when we do Parent Sunday and love being able to partner with them.</center>

Sunday afternoon, Mallory and I worked on her first Kindergarten project together. She had to put pictures, drawings and write things about herself in the folder for when she is the Star Student. Parents were encouraged to help so it was a fun project for both of us to work on together. We both loved how it turned out! </div>

We've made it to Friday and so far, the first week has been good! Mallory has made friends but she doesn't remember their names :) but she says she has new friends. She's able to sit by her friend Ava at lunch and they talk about sleepovers and she and Ava get to see their friend Layla at recess and play with her. She's gotten to go to Music, Art and PE and she likes them all. She started the after school program - ROCK - on Tuesday and she really loves it! That makes me feel so much better that she likes going there until we pick her up after work. They get another snack and get to play outside which always makes her happy! She's had a big smile on her face when I've picked her up each so so far, so good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kindergarten is exhausting though! She will ask if she can fall asleep when she gets home and she never has done that before so I know it's tiring! She came home on Tuesday and rested on the couch while looking at her book.</div>

She's always ready for bed when it's time and sleeps hard until it's time to get up. We read a book before bedtime, pray and then she's usually fast asleep right after that.</div>

I will say that she's been a happy girl when she wakes up so that makes the mornings a lot easier. She finds her comfy spot on the couch to eat her breakfast and watch some Disney Junior. It's nice for her to have some rest time in the morning before getting ready to head out.</div>

The first three days, we could walk her to her classroom but after that we can walk them into the cafeteria (where they can wait until it's time for them to go to their room). Mallory wanted me to drop her off so I did yesterday and watched her to make sure she walked in and went to the right place. She did and she knew exactly what to do and where to go. So proud of her! </div>

Yes, she has her jacket tied around her waist because she asked to wear a jacket to school because she gets cold in class. I told her I understood because I'm always the one that gets cold at work and she knows I always have a jacket in the car or with me because I hate being cold. I feel ya sister! </div>

She usually doesn't say much about the day at first but will start to tell things as the evening goes on. I tried to ask a lot of questions but I've learned that she will tell me as the evening goes on so I try not to pester her with a lot of questions right when I pick her up (which is hard for me to do!). I caught this sweet moment Tuesday night as Brian and Mallory were talking about their day.</div>

Honestly, Mallory has done a lot better this week than I have. The first couple of days, I just counted down the time until I went and got her because I wanted to know everything about her day. I know that she's been in daycare for years before but for some reason, I missed her so much more even though she was so much closer at school than she was at daycare. I wanted to know that she was having a good time, learning, making friends, etc... so most of the tears this week were shed by me but I'm doing better now seeing her smile when I pick her up each day and knowing, she really does like it.</div>

We've all made it to Friday and made it through the first week of Kindergarten! We are looking forward to tonight because it's the first game of the season for Yellowjacket Football!! We can't wait to cheer Caleb on! Go Jackets!</div>

Well, the day we've been talking about coming for a while now (basically since she was born), finally arrived! Mallory has been so excited about it and I honestly have too! I'm excited for her to be closer to us and for us to be able to have lunch during the week (her daycare - which we loved - was in another town so we are getting so much time back now). There are so many things to look forward to but I will say it all hit me like a ton of bricks this past weekend. We've been celebrating and doing so much fun things but when I sat down and was thinking about it all, I let myself let it all sink in that my baby was starting school! So crazy and for a little bit Saturday night, so sad! I let myself have a good cry and thought I was good but at church on Sunday morning, as we were singing "How Deep The Father's Love for Us", the tears came again. I was worshiping and thanking God for His love for us and praying for Mallory to have a great year and be a light for Him. All Sunday, I just held her close and enjoyed the extra snuggles I could get before she started school Monday.</div>

Yesterday, Lyndsey hosted a Kindergarten Kickoff Party for our kiddos! I'm so grateful for my friends and I think it's so neat that we each have a kid starting Kindergarten this year so we can all celebrate this together! We knew we wanted to have a Kindergarten Kickoff Party before school started this year and Thursday was the day it finally came. We brought food and desserts and Lyndsey hosted it and decorated it so well! </div>

Last week, Mallory attended her first camp and she was so excited! The Stingerette Drill Team put on a camp for the week and when it finally came, Mallory was ready to dance! She always likes to watch them perform at halftime of the football games so I was hoping that she would love it and she did!</div>

When we got to the camp, the Stingerettes met us and Mallory got her picture made with some of the Stingerettes. This went along with the beach blast theme and they put this picture in a frame for her to take home at the end of camp!</div>

Last week, our church held a Kindergarten Luncheon for all of the kids starting Kindergarten this year! This is something our Children's Ministry has done for years now and I've loved seeing pics from years past and was looking forward to it for Mallory this year. Our preschool minister, Shelley and the children's ministry assistant, Amanda, did a great job in putting it all together! I'm sad I didn't get more pictures of the props and decorations but it all looked great!</div>

They had many places for photo ops because they knew us Moms would definitely want those and this was the sign that greeted us when we got there. Welcome Class of 2029!</div>

They had a paper to write down any prayer requests they had for the school year. Mallory's first request was to pray for the school bus. She won't be riding the bus to school but I guess just for the other kids :)</div>

After that, The Lunch Lady came in! Our sweet friend Mrs. Elesa, used to be a lunch lady at an elementary and now she works at our church. She came to reprise her role as the lunch lady today to teach the kids how to go through the lunch line at school. I love that they do this because Mallory's never had to go through a lunch line before and it gives them an opportunity to learn what to do before schools starts.</div>

We are in full Kindergarten mode at The Estes house. I'll say it a million times but I can't believe it's actually happening. I feel like we've talked about Mallory starting Kindergarten for a while now and she will officially start next week. We decided to get our school supply shopping done early so we took the list and headed to Wal-Mart.</div>

Friday, August 5 was Mallory's last day at Janet's. Mallory has gone there since she was a baby and Janet and all the teachers have loved on her since Day One. I can't say enough good things about everyone there and Mallory has made some wonderful friends there. I will always be so thankful for everyone there. It's always been comforting knowing that while Brian and I are working, Mallory was always in good hands! These two love do each other!</div>

We got up Monday morning to head on the final leg home. We got home a little after lunch in time to rest before our 4th of July festivities.</div>

We got the seashells out as soon as we got home to look at them all again and remember the fun we had!</div>

I'm so glad we were able to take this quick trip and it was even more special with Rob, Stephanie, Caleb and Cade. Memories were made and I'm so thankful we had a safe, fun time! I'm already ready to head back to the beach!</div>
