Spring Break Part 1

 Right before spring break, the girls had open house and the book fair at their school. Of course, we stopped by and got the girls some books....too fun!

 Kaitlyn, Jillian, Kennedy

First stop: Kaitlyn's room. 

She loves her teacher, Miss Harbison

 After we looked around at Kaitlyn's work, we headed to Kennedy's room. Jillian made herself at home right away and climbed up on the loft that is in the room. She thinks she is so big.

 Kennedy loves her teacher, Mrs. Tijerina

On Saturday, we got up and left for Springtown to visit Tony's family. It takes about 5 hours and we made good time. The girls were good travelers, thanks to the DVD players. :)

 When we got there Paw Paw wanted to take the girls down to see the cows and the tree house. It was super windy!! Kaitlyn and Jillian decided to go, but Kennedy stayed back at the house. She wasn't too sure about the cows this time.

 Jillian is my little daring one...she will try anything and the more risky the better! :) 

Later that evening, their cousin, Shaylee came to play and spend the night. The girls had a lot of fun dressing up and doing arts and crafts.

After baths, Ya Ya let the girls decorate cupcakes for the birthday party we were going to have the next day (family members birthdays) That's always a fun treat! :)

 Ya Ya and Jilly

All the girls busy decorating.....and licking icing!

Group hug!! They love Shaylee!

 The girls had a very hard time going to sleep. They were in the same room so there was a lot of talking, giggling, and getting up. Finally they all fell asleep. Unfortunately, Kennedy woke up at 3:30am with hives! She has never had that before and we didn't know if it was an allergy or a virus. (she later developed fever) We gave her some allergy medication and she slept in our bed the rest of the night.  Poor thing. :(

The next morning, she still had a few hives, but her fever was gone and she seemed better. We all got dressed and went to church.

After church, we went back and changed, had lunch and just lazied around until the birthday party when all the rest of the family was coming over. 

We tried to get a group picture...there were still 3-4 people missing, but we got a lot of the family (and Kennedy in motion!)

Cupcake and homemade ice cream time! Yum!

Dar with the girls...this turned out cute!  :)

 Kennedy snuggled with Paw Paw and looks super happy here....but......

 .....this is how she really felt. As the day went on her fever and hives came back and

 she was very cold.

 Poor thing wore her coat in the house and just couldn't stay warm.

 The girls got some super fun straw/glasses!  Jillian was so happy to try them out!

 All the girls were very taken with Andra and Brenae.....they both just recently married Dar and Lee's boys, Chase and Nic. The twins were the flower girls in Andra and Chase's wedding. Jillian was supposed to be the flower girl in Brenae's wedding this past November, but Tony had just had his surgery and we were all sick too!  We hated to miss it! (Kaitlyn is with Andra, and 

Jillian is with Brenae)

After everyone left, we got the kids ready for bed. Poor Kennedy felt sooo bad and she went to sleep very fast. We decided that it was probably best if we left a day early and come back home in case she was allergic to something there.

 The next morning we said goodbye to Ya Ya and Paw Paw and headed to Aunt Dar's house to say goodbye to them too.  Kennedy was feeling a lot better, but the fever and hives would come and go.

 Blake and Shaylee came to Dar's to say bye too! We got a cute group pic of all the grand kids.

Kennedy did great on the way home. The medicine was really doing the trick and the closer we got to home, the better she got! :)

We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for dinner. 

 Jillian and Kennedy being silly! They loved their Barbie that came in their kid meal.

 Kaitlyn

The kids were all super tired and slept sooooo good that night. We hung around the house the next day and just took it easy.  Kennedy woke up all better! Woo hoo! Still don't know if it was a virus or allergy, but it's amazing how fast she got better once we got home. 

On Wednesday, we took the girls to Studio Movie Grill to watch a Barbie movie they were showing...only 2 dollars a ticket!

 Going up the looong escalator!  This was Jillian's first movie experience!!

 My phone had a hard time taking pictures in the dark, but I wanted to get a quick pic before we entered the theater.  They were so excited!

 My sweet baby did so good watching her first movie! The girls all ate lunch while they watched (the food must have been amazing because they ate sooo well) and the movie was a hit too!

After the show, we played in the backyard and enjoyed the beautiful weather!

We had a little park playdate with a friend nearby. Kenzie is going to be in first grade with Kennedy and Kaitlyn at FBCA next year and they live very close to us. The girls all had such fun together!

 Playing together on the playground.

Sunny group picture of the girls...they moved into their new house not too long ago. So glad they are close by.

We have more fun things planned for the rest of the week. The weather has been perfect and I have LOVED having lazy mornings and fun family time. I don't want spring break to end! 
More to come soon.
