Memorial Day

                My cuties on Memorial day! We love the USA!!

 Sister love (except Jillian wasn't really in the mood for pictures...lol)

Kennedy, Kaitlyn

These two are inseparable.

We went over to the Fox's for swimming and lunch and boy were my girls excited. We got to their house and their kids were just as excited! I couldn't wait to get all that kid energy into the pool!! 

 One happy bunch!

 The girls

 Jillian never wanted to leave the water!

 The mom's :)

 This cracked me up!  Ryan (L) got out of the pool and laid on the chair as straight as a board.  Kennedy (R) followed after a little bit. Bathing beauties. :)

 Ryan and Kennedy

 Jillian and Kaitlyn

After swimming for a while, we ate some yummy lunch. Matt grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and ribs!! YUM!

 Jillian chose to eat with Daddy 

And these three silly girls had a blast eating their hot dogs together!! 

After lunch we got back in the pool. I don't think the girls would have ever gotten out! They love swimming!!!
On the way home I could tell they were wiped out...especially Jillian. We put them to bed very early (6:30!) Jillian was out in about 5 seconds and the twins were asleep by 7.  Tired, but happy.

It's my LAST week of school!! Woo Hoo!! Summer is coming.

Weekend fun

 My weekend started off with this sweet little love note tucked in my purse....

 Sweet Kennedy.....

I find little notes from her all the time. I love it!

Saturday, Tony took Kennedy and Jillian (and Scooter) to the vet for her check up.  Kaitlyn chose to stay home with me and just have some "down" time. Kaitlyn is more like me and enjoys quiet moments. 

Kennedy and Jillian love to "go" and "do" just like Tony. Jillian is most like him....he said that she was talking to every person in the waiting room of the vet's office.

That night ,Tony and I went on a double date with our besties, Matt and Leigh Fox! The Santikos Palladium just opened up about 5 minutes from our house! It's so beautiful!!

 Not the best picture, but it's so pretty! (and big!)

 My love

Thankful for Leigh! Such a great friend!

 I snapped a quick pic of the inside...well..part of the inside. It's so large and pretty inside! Lots of theaters, food, gelato, Starbucks, bowling and more! 

 Matt and Leigh

 First thing we did was get some good food! Pizza, of course! :)

We debated on seeing a movie or going bowling....bowling won!

 Go Tony!

 It's been a while since I have bowled, but it sure was fun!!

 

We had a blast!

 Best buds

 After bowling we all got gelatos and Starbucks and sat on the 2nd story balcony! It was such a nice evening and it's such a treat to have a double date! (How lucky were we to both find babysitters!)

Side note.....I look so short in this picture!! 

On Sunday evening we had our deaf Sunday school class over for food and fellowship! (I actually haven't been able to be in the class on Sunday mornings because I have been teaching the 3 year olds this year) It was nice seeing everyone and catching up.

 Some of the ladies :)

 The girls were anxious to play games but we never really got around to playing any. Poor things....

So, they started a game themselves.

The men sat in the living room most of the time!  So funny how that happens (men and women separate!)

We had a fun weekend! We are really counting down the days until summer now. Only this week and next for me! Woo hoo! (Tony and the girls go one extra week after me) 

Summer is coming!!!

Mother's Day weekend

 Mother's day weekend started out with a fun birthday party for the twins on Saturday....Can you guess who it was for? That's right...Kyle! (Kaitlyn's crush). It was a swim party and they didn't want to miss it!! Talk about 2 excited little girls! :)

 Three little cuties....

Kaitlyn (L) looks like she is about to burst! 

 Just hanging out waiting for some food! Tony said that Kyle hardly left her side.

 Kyle and Kaitlyn

Tony found out at the party that Kyle carries her lunchbox to the cafeteria every day at school. 

What a sweetie!

 Meanwhile, while Tony took the girls to the party,  I took Jillian with me to the grocery store. Lucky for her, it was mother's day weekend and Kroger was giving out all kinds of sweet treats! Here she is enjoying a chocolate covered strawberry....one of her favorites!

On Sunday, my morning started out with some cheery flowers picked out by the girls. 

I love my flowers!

They also gave me this special necklace....an initial for each of my girls and a pearl to represent Tony...his birthstone. I love it!!

 Picture time! All my cuties before church

 Kaitlyn

 Jillian

 Kennedy

 My trio at church

 After church, we ate at Pappasitos...yum! It was packed, but luckily we didn't have to wait too long...only about 10-15 minutes.

 At the restaurant

 Patiently waiting for a table (Kaitlyn, Kennedy, Jilly)

 We got a big booth and had a wonderful lunch! The atmosphere was awesome....there was a mariachi band, balloon animals,  and they were giving away little tote bags to all the moms! 

 While we were waiting, they not only gave the kids crayons and paper, but tortilla dough to play with!! They LOVED it! It was like play dough and it kept the girls occupied for the whole time! What a great idea!!

Rolling their dough!

On our way out we happened to see Mrs. Tijerina...Kennedy's kinder teacher! She thought that was pretty special. :)

I'm so blessed to have 3 beautiful children and a wonderful, Godly husband who is an awesome father to our girls!   I'm also sooo very thankful for my amazing mom who is the most loving and giving person I know. Love you mom!
What a wonderful weekend!!

Awana awards night and more

 This past Wednesday was the last night of Awana and it was also awards night. Tony, Jillian and I all attended the ceremony. We were so proud of Kennedy and Kaitlyn for completing both books and learning so many scriptures!  I could tell the girls were embarrassed being on stage because they kept giggling and looking at each other the whole time. :)

Kaitlyn (left), Kennedy (right)

 This is what they did when their names were called for completing both books. Silly girls!

 They have a nice group of Kindergarten "Sparks". (Again, they are looking at each other....they are each other's security blankets!)

Afterwards, they gave out cupcakes! This was Jillian's favorite part. :)

And these two enjoyed them as well. :)

The next couple of pictures are kinda random, but I thought I would throw them in here. Jillian surrounded Scooter with all her animals.

Scooter is such a trooper. :)

What's this you ask?  Well, a baby squirrel, of course! 

Our assistant principal found this little baby at his house. The storm had knocked it out of the nest. They brought it to the science teacher at school and it was just the cutest little thing! Sooo tiny! It's still being bottle fed around the clock. 

This weekend, we had our garage sale on Sat (always good to get rid of junk and make a little money) and on Sunday we had a birthday party at the Fox's house. Kade turned 3!

His cute cake!

He's just adorable in his cowboy hat! 

And of course...more cake is just what this little girl needs, right?   :)

I can't believe it's already May!! School will be over before we know it and the summer will be here!! Can't wait! :)
