Weekend Wrap Up

Sunday afternoon, Jarrad, Meg and I headed over to Michael's to hang out in the pool and cook out. Jarrad didn't want me to bring his swim suit, but I did anyway - I know my husband so well. He was in the pool before any of us. We swam all afternoon and had a blast. All the years of swimming lessons have really paid off. Meg is a fish in water. I was so proud of her.

Weekend Continued (part two)

After the birthday party for AJ, we headed back to Seth & Suz's house to hang out. It wasn't planned, just spur of the moment, but we had an absolute blast!!! We had stuffed jalapenos for appetizers. Suz made the best chicken ever and we grilled some veggies along with it. It. Was. Delicious!

The kids had a great time. Suz filled up the pool and water table so they could splash around. Between playing upstairs and in the water, I think the kids all had fun, fun, fun.

Suz even caught a baby frog. Meg was so excited and asked to hold it. I was a little surprised that she wanted to hold a frog because I've tried to get her to pick one up before and she wouldn't. I guess this was different because it was a BABY frog.

Suz and I were inside getting a few things ready when I looked outside and saw the girls on the trampoline with plastic balls shoved into their swimsuits. Of course, this was a great photo op, so I had to run out to catch them in the act. Little did I know they were going to leave their "boobies" in until it was time to get out of their swim suit. It was super adorable. And, I'm sure when they're older they will hate that I have these pictures.

Suz helped the girls make a fort in the living room when the girls started getting a little tired. The fort was made, the girls climbed under and it was only a matter of time before they were out for the night.

Weekend continued (part one)

Saturday morning, Meg and I got up to head to Cleburne for AJ's 3rd birthday party. We decided to meet the Sorensons at their house and ride with them. We loaded the kids up and headed to Jenny's house for the party.

Jenny went all out for the party. It was a cowboy theme and was absolutely adorable. Jenny had the girls all dressed up in pink and white with pink bandanna accessories. They were quite adorable.

Weekend kick off

To kick off our weekend, we helped Katelyn celebrate her 3rd birthday. The kids had a great time. There was a slip-n-slide, a baby pool, and a play house. The kids were running from point to point playing in everything they could. After dinner, the kids played pin the tail on the donkey, then took turns swinging at a Dora pinata.

Summer is here!!!

Meg and I couldn't be more excited about summer's arrival! We spend countless hours in the backyard throwing water balloons, playing in the sprinkler and just having fun. To add to the fun this year, we purchased a Slip N Slide. Meg was super excited and had a blast...

At one point, Kenzie and Meg were putting their heads in the "pool" at the end of the Slip N Slide...I thought it was a cute photo, so I was able to catch this scene...

This was the end of Slipping-N-Sliding for the day!
