Flower Power

It isn't often we get ready and have time to take a picture before we have to get out the door. I love this photo - the girls look so ready for SUMMER!! Mia keeps asking when we can start to swim. It is warm, but not quite swim weather...yet. But it is coming - her swim team starts practice next week. Lily has been doing great in her swim lessons so she is ready to hit the pool, too. A summer of swimming, sun and fun is about the begin.

 

Happy Easter

With 3 different Easter egg hunts this year, the girls got really good at finding eggs and quickly deciding which candy they wanted and which candy mom and and dad got!!

 

 

 

 

By the time the Easter bunny came to the house the girls were done with eggs and candy, so the enthusiasm was pretty much gone. And, as it always goes, Lily woke up that morning with a fever and completely not interested in her Easter basket. Mom and Lily spent Easter Sunday sitting on the couch watching Strawberry Shortcake. Oh well - so much for the shopping my mother and I did to find adorable matching Easter dresses for the girls. :)

Garden Party - Mia is 5!!

Mia turned 5 this week - and it was a full day of celebration. She had a party at school with a yummy oreo cake that her great mom made!! :) And that afternoon we had a spring GARDEN PARTY and BBQ. But as Texas weather goes, it turned windy and cold for our gardening day! Still, all of her friends from the street came and we made garden crafts (painted flower pots, planted flowers and decorated flip flops) and the evening ended with the parents joining us for burgers and cake. It was a lot of fun. Even Mason, the lone boy on our street, had fun and made some beautiful flip flops (he's such a good sport). Mia was also excited to have her meemaw and pop-pop here from Florida for the big day - and their gift was the hit of the party -- a new teeter totter. Fun for all ages - even Jason and I got to take a turn.
