Playing Catch Up

It has been a while! The girls are growing up so fast. I can't believe how beautiful they are. 

I will start back at Easter of this year. The girls had a personal egg hunting party with Big Granny at her house. None of the other relatives were there, just us and Big Granny. We had a good visit and Big Granny even put some money in some of the eggs. The girls had a blast and I ended up with my first sun burn of the year, ridiculous.

I know that  a lot has happened that I have forgotten about! But, next on my memory card from my camera are pictures from a friend's birthday party. It was a Luau party at Parties Etc!

Makayla took a field trip to the zoo. She got to ride the school bus for the first time. She was pretty excited and I got to ride the bus with her. What joy! I haven't been on a school bus since high school and I sure don't miss those long hot days. Makayla had a blast. On the way to Little Rock I asked her what she was going to see at the zoo. She thought intently for a moment and then said, "hmmm, maybe we will dinosaurs at the zoo."

I found the name of this particular kit interesting and sickening all at the same time. Just in case you can't read it, it says "Body Fluid Clean up Kit"

We had a great day at the zoo. KayKay's friend Skye walked around with us throughout the day. I love the giraffes. They are my favorite and when we went to see them, they were particularly playful. They kept nudging and pushing eachother. It was great! The girls could have cared less but I had to stay and watch for a few minutes.

The kids got to play at the park by the zoo afterwards. They had a blast. The last picture is Makayla's class and her teacher, Mrs. Southard. She has been wonderful!

We went out for a shopping trip last weekend and had lunch at a good mexican restaurant. On Sunday we went to Disney On Ice after church. The girls really liked it and Olivia was jumping out of her chair when she saw Mickey and Minnie. She's a big fan of The Little Mermaid too. Abi and KayKay had a great time too and liked seeing The Princess and the Frog. I laughed my butt off at the end when Toy Story came out with a troll doll in a bikini and a pig skating on all fours. It was a good time.

Disney On Ice put on a show for holidays throughout the year. There was Valentine's Day, Christmas, Birthdays, Halloween, Spring, and Summer. It was fun.We were all exhausted by the time it was over though!

I went in one night to tuck the girls in and turn off their lamp because they had layed in bed and looked at books. This is how we found KayKay....

We went to see our family this weekend. My mom and aunt threw a surprise birthday party for my Memaw. We went to the decoration at the cemetary after church and caught up with a lot of family members there too. I will post on that later...hopefully not two months later, but later.

To end this entry for now, tonight during supper, Abi looked at me as I was giving her a drink and said, "Momma, you're a good parent. And Daddy is too." I never knew how much that would mean to me coming from my child. I told her that she makes parenting easy because she's such a great kid.

We love you all and pray for a safe and happy week!! Take Care!
