Easter Weekend!

We started on Saturday spending the day with family! Baby Brooke continues to grow and Auntie Shannon's camera can't help but take lots of pictures of her ;)


Coloring eggs was also on the agenda! Ryan wanted nothing to do with it...


Aunt Stacy has lots of fun toys to play with! Some very familiar ;)


Easter morning (and one shot of Katie the night before with her Easter basket ready to go)!!! Katie loved her Squinkies and Ryan's favorite were the wind up caterpillar and chick. :)


All dressed up for Church!


Hope you all have a blessed day!

Toy Story 3 On Ice!

Sunday we took the kids to Reliant to see Toy Story 3 on Ice. Very exciting! My brother is also in town and I just knew he wouldn't what to miss that. (Insert Sarcasm) But he was a good sport and we all had a good time! Ryan was mesmerized for probably 2/3rds of the show but once the excitement of all the characters wore off he could care less. Plus I think it dragged on a half hour too long. After it was over a trip to Ninfa's was in order! YUMMO!

On the way!


Having fun!


Fun shots from the show...


And just a cute shot of my girl :)

Here Comes Peter Cottontail!

My mom's group had their Easter Party this morning and I seriously couldn't have imagined a better day for it. Such a beautiful morning with wonderful friends! So excited that there were so many kids...the egg hunt was so fun!

My Tiny Titan!

Well I did it...I registered my baby for Kindergarten. And not just any Kindergarten...the Kindergarten at the school I taught at when I first moved to Texas!!! It was so strange to walk through those doors as a parent to a student! Although I'm a bit sad about that this big new stage is already here, I'm SOOOOO grateful to walk through those doors and see familiar smiling faces and to feel so at home there. She's going to have a BLAST there and I can't wait to be a part of it.

I didn't take Katie with me to register because she was still getting over the flu but they gave the kids a yellow ticket to turn in at the front office for a welcome gift. So, I took Katie back the next day to turn it in. It was a cute hat that says "I'm a Titan!" on it. She of course chose purple. I also took Katie back to meet my friend/past co-worker/current Assistant Principal Sunnye. She's the best and even had hamsters in her office. :)

Crawfish Initiation

I attended my first crawfish boil not long after I moved to Texas. I thought...is this for real???? People eat these nasty, dirty buggers??? Now I look forward to the Spring and the crawfish boil invitations. They are so much fun and it's great to relax and hang out with friends.

My parents happened to come to town this weekend and we had plans to go to a crawfish boil. I thought this might be right up my dad's alley and I was right! He loved it! My mom was just fine staying home with her grandbabies and I know that's right where they wanted to be as well. So Keith, my dad and I had a great night!


Unfortunately Katie had the flu during the weekend :( Our first run in with it and she had the flu shot :( Luckily, because of the shot she didn't have symptoms that were awful. But I think we still managed to have a good weekend!

Mommy and Me

Katie had her Mommy and Me Tea at school today. She was so stinkin' cute showing me everything (like I hadn't been there before :P). We even got to plant a flower and decorate cute sticks to put in the pots. She was so proud! Then we made a stop by the book fair and if you know me, I'm a sucker for children's books. It's the teacher in me!

Girl Power!

So almost every other day Katie asks when she can have a sleepover. I kept quickly changing the subject because I think she's a bit too young and honestly the whole thing sounds exhausting! She kept asking though so finally I came up with an idea which I hoped would be the next best thing. A Pajama Movie Party where it was all girls and they watched the movie Tangled! She about passed out from excitement...marking each day on the calendar until today...THE DAY! They all had a blast...and I think if there was a giggle scale it would be off the charts!

The girls played outside while they waited for everyone to show up and then enjoyed their pizza and fruit!


Movie time! After it was over it turned into an impromptu dance party. And a big dog pile! I think the smiles on their faces say it all!


Ryan was there too and some beautiful girl mommies (in our jammies too of course!)!
