A SPECIAL DAY

WISHING I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Paris to the Emerald City and Back

Night out with mom!

*Dinner at the Olive Garden. My girls have never eaten at the Olive Garden. Gracie said, "Mom this looks like Paris." If she's never been to the Olive Garden, I'm pretty sure she's never been to Paris. I think we need to get out more!

*Wicked at Fair Park! Loved it!

(After much coaxing, I even got this one to wear a dress. Yay for me!)

Hotness

We're just trying to stay cool!

Little Graduates

First Day of school

Last Day of school
Her latest thing is to have her hair straightened and to leave it down. She loves how old she is looking!

Awards for this girl




Her best bud Ethan. Her teacher said in all her years of teaching she's never seen a friendship quite like it.


We are really glad for girlfriends too!



The end of school means another tug of war!

This missy in her cap and gown!

She is ready for big school!!

This one graduated from 2 to 3.

Good Bye Structure!

Hello Summer!

Motherhood through Her Eyes

May we all view motherhood as She does!
Happy Mother's Day!!

A-P-R-I-L

April was all of these things, and much more!

Gracie was a janitor in her school play titled

"The Principal and the Pea"

I was wishing she would use her janitorial skills at home!

Big Papa in his element at the Family Campout!

Skits and more skits!
A day with all the girls and all the girls' kids at the Arboretum

Thank you Aunt Steph for a very fun afternoon!






Planting Spring Flowers in the Yard

They love coming upon the worms! Yuk!

Who knows what was really planted under this little sign. I'm sure it was an acorn or an apple seed. Don't you remember doing that as a kid? Planting an apple seed with all the confidence that it would grow to be this great big apple tree.

Just in case we don't get a Live Oak or an Apple Tree, we have these pretties to look at!

What better way to end April and Start May than with a 50th Birthday Celebration for Suz!

We are hoping for 50 more!

Next up.....

MAY!!!

Just a Hat Maker

This is a new favorite in my little shop!

I love this baby and the hands that hold him!

Thanks for a memorable photo shoot B.rad, Ash, Little E, and our most favorite photographer Toni!
