Welcome Summer

Allegra's Preschool Class (minus Ben)  Too bad it was too cold to have water day!

 We started a few new summer traditions this year!  We walked over to pickup up Aurora and the crossing guard had Chick-fil-A coupons and Ice Pops for the kids.  So cool!

What was waiting when we got home from school

Allegra insisted on picking up Aurora only wearing a swimsuit!

We had ice cream sundaes for snack, read some Last Day of School books and then headed outside to get wet!

Their first attempt at a water balloon fight.  We really need to work on strength and aim!

Homemade pizza for dinner and S'mores over  the grill for dessert. 

Yes, we are still using up Peeps from Easter!

Sabrina's First Solids

Sabrina turned six months today so she got to try her first solid food--rice cereal! 

She loved it!  But of course, prefers to do it herself!

Aurora's Kindegarten Awards Ceremony

Aurora received awards for Math, Good Manners, and All-Star PE!  She must be her father's daughter!

With Quinlan

With Mrs. Jackson

With her church friends Nathan and  Quinlan.  It will be fun to see these three grow up together!

Happy Memorial Day!

Sabrina's first time in the exersaucer.  I think she likes it!

The girls helped clean it up.  They were pretty proud of themselves!

Sabrina went swimming for the first time today.  Too bad we didn't get any pictures because she was having so much fun!

Father Daughter Campout

The girls have been begging to go camping for a year.  Finally the opportunity arose for Mark to take the girls on the ward Father Daughter campout!  The girls had a blast--not so sure about Mark though!

Aurora found a turtle and really wanted to bring it home.

Happpy Mother's Day to me!

Breakfast in Bed, Girlies singing to me, Dinner by Mark, and two rocking chairs for the front porch.  I couldn't ask for a better Mother's Day!

Science!

Allegra, Sabrina and I went to the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science with some friends.
