Favorite time of day :)

Lately we have been venturing outside late afternoon early evening when Daddy is coming home. I bought the kids this really neat water table and that has been the greatest thing ever.

Sister making me something really yummy.

Bubba being silly when I asked him to look and smile at me.

Oh Hayden!!!

Tyson and Lennox have really loved it too. They play around in the water on the ground which keeps them cool and the kids fill up their cups and give the dogs some water to drink. We have had the best time with this thing.

Dance Recital 2011

Hayden had her dance recital last Sunday May 29th at Kennedale Performing Arts Center. It's on the Kennedale High School campus and it was a really nice facility. Hayden did so good and looked so cute. The whole class did really well, no meltdowns and everyone danced. Overall a success!!!

This is so typical of my child. This was backstage waiting to go on.

Getting ready in the dressing room.

All the little buttercups.

The looked so cute :)

Summer vacation!!!!!

I am so excited that it is spring, almost summer time around here. Now if the weather would just cooperate and stay nice it would be perfect. Hayden is done with MDO for this year and she had her last dance class Tuesday. All we have left is her recital on Sunday. I can't wait for that by the way, she is going to be so cute and I will post lots of pics. We are waiting on Accent pools to come and do a little "maintenance" on our pool so we can get it all ready for the summer. I can't wait for low key days of just playing in the pool with the kids and playing outside. We don't have much planned yet for the summer just hanging around the house. I'd like to get out once a week and do something special with them but we'll see. We have plans to go to my BFF's lake house for the 4th with my whole family and her whole family so that will be a blast. The kids are all going to so it will be fun to get them all together. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!!!!

School pics 2011

I thought Hayden's pics turned out cute last year but they were even better this year. Don Painter comes and does their pics at Tate Tots and they do a really great job. Love this little angel to the moon and back.

Fun in the Sun party!!!

Today was Hayden's Fun in the Sun end of year party at Mother's Day Out! They wore their swim suits to school and had water tables, bounce houses, snow cones and all sorts of goodies and fun things to do. She only has two days left next week and then we are out for the summer. I am ready!!! She was dressed all cute in her swim shoes and new cover up. You can't hardly tell because blankie always has to make an appearance. I swear she is going to college with this thing. I love it though because it's the last thing that still makes her a baby :(

My sweet angel girl! She is getting so big and I can't hardly stand it. I just love this little girl!!!!!

Mayfest 2011

Hayden danced at Mayfest this year and it just happened to be on Mother's Day also. We all headed out there early so we could enjoy the day and spend it together before Hayden danced.

She did really well despite it being mid 90's and she was so tired.

The group, they danced to the Lion King, Just Can't Wait to be King.

Mrs. Ann Marie getting them all in their spots before the show.

After she danced Hayden wanted to go in this big bounce house. She went down the slide over and over again but she had such a good time. I wish we could have done more but we got out their early and by the time she danced it was so hot and both the kids were hot and tired so we just did the bounce house and headed home. We ate and walked around before she danced and man was it hot. We are going to for sure make this a yearly thing and I think everyone enjoyed it. It was a great way to spend Mother's Day and I hope everyone had a great day.

More outside pics...

I played photographer for a minute with my old camera. ;)

Just a beautiful day we didn't want to come in for dinner.

Makes me very ready for summer time. Can't wait for Hayden to be out of school so we can play everyday and get in the pool.

Love these two!!!!!
