Fiesta Farm 2

Here are a few more pics of the girls from Mal's party...just because I think they are so stinkin' cute I couldn't resist! Texas LOVE!

Pool Time!

The weather has been amazing and our pool isn't open yet so...we headed to Target and got a cute little blow up pool for the back yard! The girls have been having a great time with the dragon spraying slide pool :) I love to lounge and watch them splash away! San Antonio in the spring time...gotta love it!!

Mallory's 5th Birthday Party!

She got a chance to ride all the horses :-)

Singing to Mal! Amazing cake!! :)

We had Mallory's birthday party at Fiesta Farm on Sunday! She had the best time and a great turn out. It was a really a cool place for a party! The kids got to go on horse rides, a hayride, feed goats, horses, and cows. Hold baby bunnies and just run around the farm enjoying all they had to offer! :) It was a great day! I know I have said this before but I just have to say again that we are just SO thankful for our friends here in San Antonio. Our time here has been such a blessing and we will forever be grateful and touched by the people that have been brought into our lives. It was a fantastic day! Happy Birthday to our precious Mallory! We love you more than words could ever say! XOXOXOXOX

Pinkalicious

Headed to the show!

Posing for us in front of the sign!

Whit and I ready for the show to start (notice she has been enjoying her pink cupcake)

Such a cute stage!

Besties!!!!

Last Friday night my good friend Erin and I took all four of our girls to see Pinkalicious at the Magik Theater. Yes... it is the musical based of the amazing Children's book! The girls LOVE that book and there were all SO excited to see this performance! The show was so cute and very well done. Of course we had a great time together...because we always do! Thanks Erin! Love you ladies!

Uncle Biiiinch!!!

We were so excited to have the girls good buddy Mike Bench visit us this past weekend. Okay he is our dear friend from college but the girls feel as though he is their good buddy and came only to see them ;) We had a great time showing Uncle Bench around San Antonio. We miss him already and can't wait to see him in April! We love you Biiiiinch!

Scorpion!!!!

Here it is!!! Ahhhhh!

And here is our sweet girl...not to pleased!!

Well we finally had a Texas animal incident in the house...well aside from the horrific fire ants of Summer 2009. I found a scorpion....yes a SCORPION!!! Many friends have warned me about finding scorpions, snakes etc. and I have heard all of the horror stories. Well I lucked out and was not stung or bit or whatever they do but it seriously came after me. Yes...tail up fangy/claw things coming at me...the works. As you can see Mal was NOT pleased...she never even saw it just heard me talking about it...that is what makes this sad picture of her even more hilarious. Oh Texas how we have grown to love you...scorpions in the house and all!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Mallory!

Mallory slept with her birthday crown from preschool :)

So excited that it is her birthday! :)

So excited about her Leapster :)

Daddy and Mal working on the Leapster! :)

Yummy! Chocolate cake from Coldstone :-)

Mallory turned 5 last Tuesday! Yes I said 5!!!! Oh my goodness!!! Did I cry? Of course! Don't you know me at all??? ;) People keep reminding me this means kindergarten...I know it means kindergarten... It is just to sad for me to even think about yet! Pray for my sanity please! :)

Seriously though, we had a great day and I just love this little girl more than words could ever say! We had such a fun day together and she is totally psyched over her new Leapster...We are just so thankful for you sweet Mallory and give praise each and everyday that you are our daughter!

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face shine upon us, that Your ways may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.

Psalm 67:1-2

Girl day! :)

Checking out some fish and turtles :)

Waiting patiently at the doctors office ;) Ha!

Yesterday we had our favorite little girlfriends, Peyton and Lexi over to play! The girls had a great morning playing with everything in the house and then we headed to the zoo! It was the perfect weather for a day at the zoo! We had a great time on the train ride with some cotton candy and then playing in their awesome Tiny Tots area. After the zoo we went to Red Robin for lunch and then the girls came along with us to Whitney's 3 year check up! It was a fun and exhausting day :) We can't wait for them to come play again soon! Texas Love!

I was able to go on another field trip with Mallory this past week! We went to the Magik Theater for a second time and we saw If You Give a Moose a Muffin...it was totally cute and so funny! The kids all had a great time and the adults enjoyed it just as much :) I am so blessed to be able to be a part of this special day! Texas Love!

We had the best time during Mimi's visit this past week! We had lots of time to play and relax and we did have one sunny day to enjoy outside. We went to a cute little shopping village and met Babs in Austion at the Children's Museum. Mom and I had a whole day at the outlets kid free. We just had so much fun spending time together and doing whatever the day brought :) We miss her so much already and can't wait to see her during our visit to Kansas in April! WE LOVE YOU MIMI!!!

Chipmunks Video

Here is a little video of the girls Chipmunks
performance....of course Whit is hamming it up and Mal is working so hard on having the words just right. I love how different their personalities are and how it always shines in whatever they are doing! LOVE!

You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar.

Psalm 139:2

Chipmunks!!!

My friend Erin made a copy of her girls Chipmunks CD for our girls and they are now totally obsessed with it! In the car...downstairs...upstairs...everywhere! They just want to listen to and sing and dance at all times of the day! It is actually really cute but I must admit I am getting pretty tired of hearing the Chipmunks and the Chipettes all day every day. But that is okay because it is super cute and I will cherish these precious moments for all time :) The pics above are from one of many "performances" the little ladies have put on to the music :) I have to add that is is absolutely hilarious to hear what they think the lyrics are! Ha! LOVE!



...seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD.

Mini Me

Here is my precious Pal Mal this morning...she is totally my mini me and it has really increased lately as she wants to do everything exactly like me. As you can see here she is very proud that she took a shower by herself and then did her hair towel and wrap just like I do. She is such a sweet, sensitive, funny little girl and I just love her more than words could ever say. Last week they were working on the letter O at preschool and when I asked her what she wanted to bring for her show n' tell she said " I wish I would have had more time to plan Mimi has the perfect little Octopus at her house" How cute is that? When we were at my moms in December she asked Mal what she was doing and if she wanted to play and Mal said "I am going to do a seasonal activity with my mom" I was totally cracking up! Scott often says, "Is that her or you talking?" hilarious! We love you sweet Mal!!!



The name of the LORD is a strong tower;

the righteous run to it and are safe.
