Mother's day treats

This photo slideshow generated with Smilebox

Mother's day was pretty low key this year. Our Gigi came to visit and that was definently a big treat for our family. Vivi stayed up until 9:30 p.m. apparently looking out her window for Gigi's headlights and came running down the hall all excited showing Gigi each of her figurines for the next hour. We had a nice visit just visiting the local botanic gardens as it was beautiful weather but high winds! We enjoyed a great lunch at Lucile's and my parents took us for a fun burger for dinner at a local place called the Love Shack (sounds scary but it's a cute cute place!) Vivi and Isaac helped make both grandma's some homemade gifts. (Actually the vase was made at school but we got prints from both kids on it!) Both kids really enjoyed our crafts. Vivi also made me a floral pin and strung some beads into a necklace for me. Nick's gift involved putting together a piece of furniture for me. (more blog to come on this). Here are a few shots from the weekend of fun.

I'm sad to admit we've lived in our home city for almost 10 years and haven't been to one of the most well-known sites. Recently we received a "Flat Stanley" from our cousins out of state and we had to take him to sites of our state and send back pics. We took him to our zoo, botanic gardens, and some other regular sites and then we had to take him here. Enjoy the pics!

Karsten's party

Recently we got to celebrate a friend's birthday across town. My kids jumped right in when they saw the playscape and lemonade machine. Here's a couple of shots of the cuties. So...I just thought it was hilarious as I saw kids behaving all calmly and mine were covered in mud within two minutes of being there. Oh well, what's fun without some dirty right?

Bluebonnets beautiful!

The bluebonnets have had an amazing year! We had two photo sessions trying to get any good pics, and we ended up with a handful of goodies. Enjoy these shots.
