Amy and Adam

Amy and Adam we here for Memorial Day Weekend and we had the BEST time! We went to the Riverwalk and rode the River Boat (which you can see from the picture Whit did not love the boat) and we went to the Market Square. We also went to Seaworld and of course the outlets...we even got a night out together just for the grown ups. Mallory and Whitney spent a lot of time building forts with Uncle Adam which is there favorite thing to do :) We loved our time with them SO much! I am sad it went so fast and hated to take them to the airport this morning. I am feeling very down today missing them but I am keeping in mind it won't be that long until we are together again and I am so thankful for the wonderful time we had. I love you guys! Miss you so much! Thanks for coming to see us!

Coker Graduation

On Friday morning Coker had the their annual kindergarten graduation where the preschool classes sing in the choir. It was SO CUTE! I of course cried through most of it...it was just so precious and I just can't get over that Mal is up there singing...it makes my heart sing with pride that she is doing so well but I also can't help but ache with some sadness that she is growing up so fast. Mal had been singing the songs to me for weeks and it was so fun to see her up there singing them with all the other kids and a big audience watching :) I also loved it on certain songs that she had sang a lot at home that Whitney started singing along in the pew sitting with Scott and I :) It was SO funny and adorable! Here is a small clip of the video I took...I figured you didn't care to sit through 20 minutes of video but a little clip would be fun :) Love you guys! Texas hugs!

End of The Year Party

I can not believe that my baby is already finished with 3 year old preschool! We had the end of the year party on Wednesday...it was a beach theme :) We had a great time! The kids decorated sun visors and each of them got a photo album with their name on it filled with pictures from the year. We played ring toss and and Limbo..the kids had a blast and the moms always enjoy the parties just as much as the kiddos :) I am looking forward to a relaxing summer with the girls but I am sad Mal is moving up to the 4 year old class...she should still be in an infant sit, right? ;) Love you guys!

Mallory's Rock Garden

As I mentioned the other day after finding a large rock in my bag.....Mal is very into collecting rocks at the moment. We are working on not collecting from other people's landscaping :) This afternoon we went to Lowe's and Mal picked two flowers and some fencing as well as a sign to decorate for her "Rock Garden" we had fun planting the flowers and arranging her rocks in their new home. It was a great time as well as a great solution for our growing rock collection that was making its home in the kitchen :) Love it!

Pool Time

The girls and I have been at the pool every afternoon this week! It is so nice that it is open again! They had to replace a filter so it didn't open until the very end of April and then was only open for 1 day before the closed it due to the Swine flu...We are LOVING it and we have made some friends that are also there the same time of day. I LOVE this age the girls are so much fun and we just have the best time playing together. Enjoy the video...as you can see Whit wasn't really into the water at first today but by the end she was having a good time jumping in...they will be sleeping well tonight :) Hugs and lots of Love from TEXAS!

Future Movie Star

Last night I was reading the instructions for my new video camera and in walks in this little model...the perfect opportunity to try out the camera :) She cracks me up!!!! Love you guys!

Ice Cream

Scott leaves for his annual bowling tournament in Las Vegas tomorrow...so, tonight we went out just to hang out together...you can see the girls enjoyed the push pops :) As you can see they were not always upright so we had quite the mess and when we got home I found a huge rock in my purse apparently Scott let Mallory keep a rock from the parking lot for her "collection" I think Mal is going to need to start a rock garden....a project for this week :) Love you guys! Please pray for safe travels and a great trip for Scotty.

Little Teeth of Texas

Today Mal made her first trip to Little Teeth of Texas...she has been to Dr. Hemberger in KC a few times but she was not very pleased to be there today...until she met the hygenist :) She was SO good with Mal and within in no time Mal was warmed up to her. She was very brave and did a great job! No cavities :) Love you guys!

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all of you precious mommy's young and old are having a BLESSED mother's day today! I am enjoying every minute of this wonderful day! We went to church this morning and then out to a park and then on to a nice lunch. While at the park Scotty tried to get some pictures of the girls and I :) I am SO excited Scott surprised me with a video camera! I will be able to record the girls and then upload it straight to the blog and also burn it into home DVD's!!! Yeah! It arrives tomorrow...poor Scott ordered it a month ago and it is arriving one day late! He tried so hard! :) The girls are resting now and I was just thinking how much I am in love with being a mom and what a blessing the girls are to me. It also makes me think about how much I love my mom and what a blessing she has been to me and continues to be to me everyday. I love you and miss you all. Go hug your babies...that is where I am headed :) XOXOX

Happy 1st Birthday Aaron!

Our dear friends little boy, Aaron, had his first birthday party yesterday! The girls had a great time playing with all the kids....and they REALLY enjoyed the bubbles...and cake, of course :) I had to take a picture of Amy's cookie party favors....we went over Wednesday and help her make them. They were a big success :) I am sure some of you recognize them from our girls parties :) Love to you all! XOXO From Texas!

All for Ava Rally

Last night we attended a Rally in honor of Ava Lopez. It was so emotional and so amazing to see a such a large crowd gathered together to bring awareness to drunk driving and to donate and support to MADD and honor the Lopez family and the tragedy there family is still working through. We give praise to God that Ava survived and is improving every day and we just continue to pray that she will be restored to the precious lively angel she was before this accident. The girls and I will be walking in the Walk like MADD 5k next Saturday. If you would like to join the team or donate go to www.walklikemadd.org and searh San Antonio for team All for Ava. We love you so much! Hugs from Texas!

Prayers For Ava!

A precious family here in San Antonio was hit by a drunk driver in their front yard...in a gated community on Thursday April 23rd. The mom and 3 year old daughter are doing fine now but their precious 18 month old daughter Ava is still fighting. The love and support for this family around San Antonio and even around the country is breathtaking and inspiring. Please keep Ava Lopez and her family...Manny, Tracy, Jack and Isa in your daily prayers. May God continue to heal Ava and surround her loved ones with love and support as they go through the coming days, weeks, and months of recovery.

We do not know the Lopez's personally but they are friends of several different friends. Most closely a little girl in Mallory's class...Sydney....her mom Jennifer is dear friends with the Lopez's and she is organizing the rally and asked me to pass out flyers. If you are in the area please join us tomorrow night and if you are not here then please just pray.

If you would like to read their story and follow Ava's recovery please visit the caring bridge site for Ava....

Little Princesses

The girls were cracking us up with their princess dress up and performance last night! :) So cute! They both really get into it...they have this movie called "Gigi~ God's Little Princess" and they LOVE to pretend to be royal princesses just like Gigi and her sister...Mal told Scott, "Daddy did you know Whitney and I are both princesses because of God?" SO CUTE!!!! Whitney kept saying, "Not going to bed DRESSING UP!" My princesses melt my heart!! :)
