A Fun Play Date


We invited Grace over for a play date today. We had a wonderful time jumping at the park, playing dress up and attending a tea party! We used the tea seat Paige and Kate got in Fredericksburg from their Nana and Papa. The ladies sipped hot chocolate while calling each other your majesty and your highness. The girls ate flower and butterfly shaped pancakes with sprinkles cooked into them. We had a wonderful morning and can't wait for our next date!






In Paige's room we all got dressed up. Kate chose a purple skirt and at times a pink trash can for her hat. Paige wanted to be a princess bride and wore a vail and a beautiful pink dress. Grace was the little mermaid and various other characters during the day. Once the girls were dressed, they went to the tea party.



At the park Grace and Paige practiced their most outrageous jumps while I took pictures. After each jump they would come look at the picture and think of a way to change their next jump. I think we have some natural sports models!

July Fourth

Thanks Libby for the yummy suckers. Kate ate all of hers.... not sure how. I am hoping Haley ate some of it.
Hey Kate, I am all wet now.





Joseph liked Paige's socks....we share. His dad made sure they were off before dinner.



Thanks to Gil, Libby and Joseph for coming to visit for the 4th! After going to the dinosaur park, we took a long nap before the Express game. I am not sure who won the game, but we had yummy snow cones, cotton candy and ice cream (thanks to Gil and Libby!). The fireworks were great.

BOWLING!

Our Family Bowling Trip...
Told by Paige
We were waiting for our bowling. Dad was thinking, I should do bowling myself...
I picked a purple ball.




I pushed the green ball down.

I pushed it down and the pins falled down. I think I don't like to bowl. I will like it when I get bigger!

Early Literacy


Paige loves to get Kate ready for bed....




Kate loves to explore books! Wish she could put them back on the shelf.

Mother's Day and the Pool








The girls and Mark did a great job celebrating Mother's Day! I got a beautiful vase, hugs and kisses and breakfast, YUM!

Trash Can War






Kate and Paige love to butt heads. Future football players? By the way, the trash cans hurt!

Graduation/Pool Party

Kate loves to be splashed with a bucket of water!




On our latest visit home to Katy, the girls had a pool party with their Uma, Aunt Leslie and cousins.



Ryan was a pro at swimming underwater and diving!






While we waited for lunch we all explored the garden...



Congrats Stephen! 2009 aTm graduate. We celebrated his accomplishment at Bloomer's.

Easter?!? A Couple of Months Late

We have been super busy, or I have been super lazy....Here are our Easter Picutres. They are posted in reverse order, because that makes sense.



We made brownies! Paige and Kate love to help out.... Mom would be proud because I got all the chocolate off of their clothes and every surface in the kitchen!
What sweet girls...On our way to church.

Recovering from the picture with the bunny!



Searching for Easter Eggs in the Garden.





Kate did not like the Easter Bunny!





Waiting in line at the mall...only 45 minutes.



I love shoes!



I love clothes!


Paige is checking herself out in the mirror...

Did I tell you I love shoes?


I can't get these ears to stay on!




There we go.
