Last Day of School 2013

 Mabry's last day of her preschool for this year was this past week. She had great teachers and has learned so much with their help. 

She can now write her name along with many other letters. 

She has several site words and is a well of knowledge throughout the day. 

She is a sponge at this age so I am so thankful she is able to learn in the wonderful, Christian environment at CLC at Prestonwood Baptist Church.

First Time at the Pool 2013

Our neighborhood pool opened on May 1st however we did not make it there until this past Sunday evening, May 19th. It has just been too cold until now. 

I think Clark is really going to enjoy the water and our zero-entry splash area. 

Notice Mabry in this picture. We will have to have a talk about not running around the pool. :)

We hope to spend lots of time in the water to survive the Texas heat coming this summer. We are so thankful for our neighborhood pool!

My Big 3-0

Yes, it's true. I am actually 30 years old. I know I don't look that old! ;)

For my birthday this year, Chad and I decided to take a trip to California. This was great. While we were living it up spoiling ourselves in Orange County, the kids were with grandparents and Aunt Amy being spoiled rotten. :) I wouldn't want it any other way! 

 

 

What a great way to turn 30!

Mother's Day Tea

Mabry had her Mother's Day Tea at school this week. This is a great opportunity for the kids to help make their moms feel special. Mabry greeted me at the door, showed me to my seat, and asked what I would like to drink. Refreshing! 

 Here is the questionnaire that Mabry completed about me. So eye-opening! 

 She still thinks my favorite food is spaghetti! Maybe one day she'll learn! :)

This is the best picture I could get of my babies. 

These two are why I love being a mom!

Texas Bluebonnets

I love these pictures! So glad we were able to capture this time in our lives. The bluebonnets are the perfect picture prop to create beautiful pictures. 

Clark is 15 Months Old!

 Clark is now 15 months old!
He is becoming a 'big boy' more and more every day! He communicates so well and has several words with his vocabulary growing almost daily.
He is such a delight in our family. 

 He is my little social bug, definitely an extrovert. He lights up when he knows that we are going out. He will tell anyone and everyone 'hi' and 'bye'. He is also generous with blowing kisses. Muah!

Gotta have a snack while waiting for the doctor :).

At Clark's 15 month well check-up, he weighed 24.5 lbs (73%). He is 32 inches tall (80%). He has begun to slim up. This, however, may be due to the challenging eating habits he is trying to create. Mommy and Daddy have got to figure out what he likes to eat. Also, our other big challenge is providing the motivation to make him want to walk! He only has to want to and I know he can do it!

Our sweet boy has a fun personality of his own! I am really looking forward to what the summer has in store for us!

Easter Fun!

 We had a lot of fun this Easter with friends. As Mabry gets older, the festivities become more fun.

We dyed eggs...

 We went to church on Sunday morning and learned more about the hope we have knowing Jesus is not in the tomb. He is risen! Mabry tells the resurrection story in the sweetest way. 

 The kids got Easter baskets filled with goodies...

 Clark was not feeling too good dealing with all the gunk from a cold so he and Chad stayed home while Mabry and I headed to church. 

 Later that afternoon, we had some new friends of ours over to our house to celebrate Easter with us.

Mabry and Lucy have a lot of fun together. 

 This grin should melt your heart like it does mine...

We had an egg hunt in the front yard for the girls. We had such great weather!

The girls were sweet enough to let their little brothers help go through their eggs. 

Even though, we were not with family this Easter, we are so blessed to have great friends to spend the holiday with.
