Summer Fever

We recently have started our sprinklers in our yard and the girls have been patiently waiting to run through them. The weather was just right over the weekend and I failed to get any pictures. However, yesterday they enjoyed them again and what better way to stop to rest:The girls shared very well with Chase. He loved every moment of it!
Chase again saying, "Cheese!" for the camera!

Tana's Birthday Celebration

After her haircut we invited a few of her friends over to celebrate her birthday! Can you believe it, she is FOUR! At her four year old check up she weighs 37 1/2 pounds and is 39 1/2 inches tall! She got the last of her shots and is prepared for Kindergarten! (Whew! She still has another year before that happens! LOL!) Tana and her friend Trinity.

Tana's Hair

For a year now, Tana has been waiting patiently to get her hair cut and donate it to Locks of Love. Well, that day finally came. We got there and in a matter of seconds, over twelve inches were cut off!! It was really nice to be able to just focus on Tana and I can not wait for our next date together!


BEFORE:AFTER:


She loves it!!

Mother's Day Celebration

So it was Saturday morning and Paul was sleeping in and I was up with all the kids, keeping quiet downstairs. The kids were playing nicely so I decided to get a jump on the book keeping for the business. As I was gathering all of the receipts, I saw one on the counter top and proceeded to pick it up. At just a glance, I ruined my own surprise! Yes, Paul and the kids got me a card and a gift! So I got it all early!! I can not wait to plant it!And here is what Kailey made for me in school! It was great! She has been growing this in her class for a few month now. Then one day the class went to Chameleons for the day and she got to paint a coffee mug (a hot coco mug for me! LOL!).
This year we celebrated Mother's Day at one of my favorite places to go, "The Reef". It was a blast. Surprisingly, not a lot of people were there. It took Chase a little while to enjoy himself in the water, but when he did, he did not want to leave.

Just got my ears pierced

For years now the girls have talked to me about earrings. Recently they have really shown a lot of interest for their own earrings. After discussing it with daddy and then witnessing someone else getting their ear's pierced, Kailey decided to follow through with getting them. She picked out the earrings she wanted. Who would have guessed, they were blue (if you didn't know, that is her FAVORITE color!). Daddy sat her in the stool and she said, "I'm so excited, I'm about to cry!" With mommy in one hand and daddy in the other, as well as a bear in her lap, she was set and ready to go. There were two people piercing at the same time (wish they did that for me when I was a kid!). Three, two, one and in they went. Kailey did not even flinch! She really impressed us.

Tana was not yet ready and says, "Maybe when I'm as big as Kailey, maybe I'll get earring like her."
