2 Weeks in Review!

Well, let me just tell you this post is going to have A LOT of pictures in it! We have been busy, busy bees! So busy that I didn't even have time to post my update last week. Therefore today I'm recapping 2 weeks and man have they been busy. We've had lots of visitors stay with us, birthday parties, mini getaway trips, tearful goodbyes, and 2 zoo trips to say the least. I will let all of the pictures tell you what's been going on at the Paschals!

First thing is last week Tara and I took the girls to take some pictures in the beautiful bluebonnets. I'm hoping to get some realllly good ones when we go to the Bluebonnet Festival in a few weeks.

Sweet girls in the bluebonnets!


Last saturday night Tara, my friend, threw her husband Joe an awesome 30th birthday party! She made all different types of fondue and everything was delicious! My favorite was the marshmellows dipped in oreos with the chocolate turtle fondue, yummo!

The birthday guy and his family, so cute!

Jayda discovered that she does NOT like Elmo at all at Joe's party!


Last sunday Jayda got to wear one of her Easter dresses that she got from Oma. She knew she looked cute and was dancing all over the playroom before church.

Thanks Oma for the pretty dress!


On sunday afternoon me, Jayda, Tara and Kiersten headed out to Waller to visit Oma and Oupa at their farmhouse. The girls had a ton of fun playing at the barn. We went into town to the farmers market and got some yummy fruit and stopped on the way home for delicious bbq!

On Monday night we had Scott, Michelle, and Riley over for a going away dinner. Well, they're not actually gone forever, just for about 8 months, but still. We had a very sad week last week telling them goodbye, but we know that they will be back, thank goodness!! Jayda gave Riley a photo album full of pictures of the 2 of them together and Riley gave Jayda her baby doll to babysit while she is gone. We miss you guys already soooo much!!!

All of us with our girlies, going away dinner for the Sanders.


Jayda was helping Riley open her going away cards, sniff, sniff.


Trying to get all 3 girls to wear their flower headbands, IMPOSSIBLE!


The 3 mouseketeers!


We had dinner on tuesday night too, so hard to say goodbye...

Last night together, big hugs!


Ri-ri left on wednesday, so Jayda went over to play for the morning.

Oupa came into town on Tuesday afternoon and stayed with us until Thursday afternoon. We had a lot of fun while he was here! On wednesday afternoon we went to the zoo with Oupa.

Thursday morning Oupa took Jayda to the mall so that she could pick something out at Claires. She ended up getting a Little Mermaid camera and a butterfly earring and necklace holder.

On friday Aunt Cheryl came to visit us and took us out to lunch. We had a lot of fun going to lunch and Jayda loves her pearls and Easter bunny, thanks Aunt Cheryl!

Jayda excited to be wearing her new outfit.

Daddy was feeling a little left out since we got to do all kinds of fun stuff this week, so on saturday morning we decided to go back to the zoo so that Daddy could take part in the fun! We actually went ahead and bought a zoo membership for the year seeing that Jayda had already been to the zoo 3 times in the past month! Tara and Kiersten also met us at the zoo and the girls had a blast together!

On saturday night Oma came to stay with us for the night. We cooked fajitas and had a yummy dinner. Sunday morning Oma babysat while Jacob and I went to church and then after Jayda woke up from her nap we went out to the dog show in Pearland. Klint and Brandy asked us to come out and we're so glad we went. It was really neat watching the frisbee dogs. Jayda even got to throw the frisbee for Miles, Klint and Brandy's puppy, a few times!

Whew, I think you are up to date on all of our adventures! Hope everyone has a great week!
