Whitney Grace

Here is a video of Whitney from this afternoon when we were coloring. She was cracking me up so I got out the camera to take some video of her :-) I hope you enjoy it! Love to all!

Glowberries

I LOVE summer time!!! The girls and I are just loving our lazy summer days! This morning we went to the kids summer movie at the local theatre. They have a great program where each week they play a kids movie for free. It was so much fun! They loved eating popcorn and being "big girls" at the movie theatre! After the movie we came home and headed to our pool for a couple of hours and then this afternoon we were on another "glowberry" hunt in the backyard. We have this really strange tree that we have no idea what it is and it grows these pods that the girls call "beans" and they like to pick them and now they have discovered that when they are ready they drop and have red beans inside. They like to pretend they are "glowberries" just like the Smurfs pick. We go hunting for them in the yard and then today we made "glowberry art" I am so in love with these little girls. We just have the best time. Love to you all from Texas!

Here is a little clip from a "performance" the girls put on...they do several shows a week the bunk bed is the performing area of choice :) I LOVE watching these! I hope you enjoy it as well! Love to you all!

Dance Recital Pics

Mallory had her first dance recital last night! It was so sweet! The theme was Wizard of Oz (how perfect) and her group was the Munchkins. They danced to "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" it was just to cute! She had a great time! Whit sat in the audience trying to do the moves to every dance...I think we will have two dancers next year! :)

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Terri and Lee just left this morning after being with us for a week! We had a great time visiting with them and Mal was SO excited they were here for her dance recital! Scott and I were able to go to Austin and stay the night we had a great time and really enjoyed the famous "6th Street". We are so thankful for Terri and Lee's visit and look forward to seeing them again when we are home in July! LOVE YOU GUYS! The pictures of Whitney are of her wearing all her new Belle dress up accessories! She LOVED her Belle shoes Grandma got for her :)

Sea World

On Sunday we headed out to Sea World for a day at the water park. We had a great time :) Mal loved the big water slides and Whit loved running around in the Kiddie water area. My favorite was the lazy river...Whit rode with me and fell asleep! It was so sweet! You can see the pictures of her after we got out...she looked so funny in the wagon all tucked in! It was a great day! Scott has been working every day but Sunday so we really enjoy doing things as a family on his day off. Love to you all!

Pea Pops

o



I have been using some awesome cookbooks for the last week working on making the kids eat a larger variety of vegetables and fruits. Some of the foods have been a hit...they love the french toast made with pumpkin and banana served with blueberries on top and they also enjoyed the oatmeal raisin cookies made with bananas and zuchini. However they were not big fans of the Pea Pops! They are made with fat free cream cheese and peas with a little sugar all pureed and then you put in mint extract and chocolate chips so they think it is mint chocolate chip ice cream...well you can see from the pictures Mal was not fooled and not at all pleased! It was pretty hilarious! Whit actually ate some but then she said..."No More Ice Cream, nasty!" I offered to take a bite and make a big deal about how yummy they were but they were so gross I almost gagged!!! Hilarious :) At least I tried...now on to the next recipe! Love you guys!

Besties!!!

On Friday the girls best little girlfriends Peyton and Lexi spent the day with us! They had SO much fun! They played dress up all morning and then we went to McDonald's and then to the pool. They crack me up how well they play together. I love hearing their conversations. My favorite game of the day was doctor where they entered the "kazamaning room" and laid on the "kazam" table. Too funny! Mal and Whit can't wait for there next play date with the girls! Love to you all!

Grocery Store

This is how Mally went to the grocery on Thursday...she is so into dressing up these days :) Too funny! She actually kept this on the whole time we did our shopping! Love it!

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!
