Dolphins, Whales, Starfish, Oh My!!

I know it is pathetic that I am sooooooo excited about Seaworld tomorrow, but I LOVE that place!! Something about the ocean and ocean animals makes me feel very calm and relaxed :)



I can't have my kiddos sporting any ol' Seaworld shirt, so here's what they will be wearing......

Dolphins for Gracie

Shamu for Hayden

(Chuck says it's a little girly but I don't think so)

and a starfish for the little princess

I better get some sleep so I can keep up tomorrow!!

70th Birthday and the Weekend

This past week was Grams' 70th birthday!! Aunt Leissa planned a "surprise" party to celebrate!

 Gracie was feeling a little brave and wanted to pet the horses

That night (while Chuck and I were on a much needed NO KIDS ALLOWED dinner date) Aunt Beth helped Gracie and Hayden make some caramel apples, YUM!! When we got home the kids were fed, bathed, and ready for bed, it was heavenly!! Thanks guys!!

On Monday me and Beth took the kiddos to the park, it was GORGEOUS outside!!

Feeding the ducks

Sweet cousins :)

Chasing bubbles

Next weekend will be another busy one, watch out Seaworld here we come!!!

Little Walker

I think Allie is going to be the tiniest walker I've ever seen!! She hasn't grown very much physically since she was about 6 months old, but developmentally she is reaching all her milestones right on track. Maybe she's just going to be a petite little girl :)

She made it all the way across the room until she got stuck on the bean bag :)

Frost

We took the girls to the new cupcake bakery in The Woodlands on Saturday.

Gracie had a strawberry cupcake

I had red velvet



Chuck did inform me on the way home that it was kinda like Starbucks, in that, we probably could have made approximately 64 cupcakes for the price of one of theirs...... whatever......still worth the experience!!

Aargh!!

Did you know that today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day? Just a tidbit of useless information we learned at the library this week :)

Aargh!!



Back Sides

I know they are going to KILL me one day for this, but it's just too cute......

 

and look whos hair I FINALLY got into a teeny, tiny bow....

(she HATES headbands and pulls them out everytime)



Have a wonderful weekend!!

Always.Sometimes.Never

I always...

bite my nails :(

wait for my kids to take naps to sneak junk food

want to kiss my husband

watch Dr. OZ

open the blinds for natural light

pray/dream/wish/hope for a bigger house

look around and wonder how I am so blessed...

I sometimes....

forget birthdays

take baths (usually showers)

wonder what it would be like to live at the beach

wish I was a dolphin trainer at Seaworld

want my kids to wake up in the middle of the night so I can hold them...

I never...

stop worrying

come to a complete stop at stop signs

answer my phone unless I know who it is.....and I want to talk to them :)

fry food inside the house

want to have any regrets...

Allie's First Doughnut

We have a BIG weakness for doughnuts in this house!!

Not sure what this face is all about??

I think she enjoyed her first one!!
