Spring Break 2011

David and I spent time with the girls the first three days of Spring Break. Renee and Chris went to New Orleans for a vacation and Angela and Jeff had to work.


On Monday we took Valerie and Julia to The Fort Worth Children's Museum.



Julia's favorite thing to do is dig for dinosaur bones. It is always the first thing she wants to do. Valerie did not know what she was digging for but she loved playing in the sand.




On Tuesday we went to the Fort Worth Zoo. We had a great day with two sweet girls.



One of their favorite things to do is feed the birds.


David's favorite thing is snack time.

Yes, Julia is telling David which way to go and why, while Valerie is reading the map.


On Wednesday, we went to Parr Park for a picnic. Julia will always remember the time she got to dip her chicken nuggets in the carmel sauce because Paw Paw forgot the nugget sauce.

To Market To Market

My niece Lauren is raising a pig for FFA at Northwest High School. His name is Kinai. Here he is in November when she got him. Julia has gone several times to help take care of him.


We went today to visit him for the last time. We brought Valerie with us. Lauren takes him tomorrow to The Houston Livestock Show and then he will go to live on a farm. These pictures show how much he has grown. Good Luck, Lauren, at the show.

Happy 4th Birthday Julia

Julia turned 4 years old today. I can not believe how much she looks like Angela at this age.


She had a soccer theme birthday. All year she has been telling us that she was going to have a soccer birthday. Angela did a great job making the soccer theme be as girly as possible. It turned out so cute.


The party was at the Grapevine Rec Center. They set up the gym with all kinds of preschool activities. There were 15 children from her preschool and church. They played with balls, rode bikes, danced, parachute, bounce house and more.


Cousin Valerie loved the bounce house with her mom.

After much playing, we went upstairs to a party room where the kids had strawberry cupcakes, trail mix and strawberries. All of Julia's friends were so cute and really seemed to have a fun time.



After the kids party, we went back to Angela's house for a barbecue with all the family. Julia loved having her everybody there. Angela and Jeff were great host. It was a beautiful day and we were able to enjoy the backyard they are working so hard to fix up.


Here is Cousin Lily with Julia. I caught her with her mouth full of yummy hot dog.



There was a second cake for part 2 of the party day. Julia picked it out, soccer theme, of course.


Then finally the big finale a big girl bike with training wheels. She was super thrilled.

Sesame Street Show

Angela, Renee and I took Julia and Valerie to see Sesame Street Live today. Julia has been looking forward to this since November. When she woke up this morning she was very excited. Sweet mommies and their precious girls.

Julia loved the music and the performance. She has to listen to the CD every day in the car.
Valerie was super excited when she saw her favorite characters come out on stage.
