Celebrating 50 Years!

Jayda crawled into Sydney's bed the other day when she woke up and when I went to check on them this is what I found. Can't get much sweeter!!

Sweet friends Jayda and Keirsten riding scooters around at the park together.

Sydney was watching the big girls on the scooters and riding her bike at the park.

Daddy going down the slide with the girls at Pump It Up for Cecilia's birthday!

Jayda loved getting to hold baby Charlotte!

The girls were all ready for Disney on Ice!!

My little Cinderella ready for the big show!

The girls enjoyed some yummy sno-cones during the show.

It's Cinderella!!!

A few weekends ago Jacob and I bought a boat! Woo-hoo! Jacob has ALWAYS wanted a boat and after much consideration we decided to take the plunge (lol) and actually buy one! We found a Yamaha jet boat that we both absolutely loved and feel that it will be safe for all the kiddos. We are super excited about taking all of our friends and family out on it this summer! The boat in this picture is the one that we test drove, but was a different model than the actual one we bought.

Justin and Lourdes got a new puppy recently and the girls are absolutely in love with her!

Last week I went out for a girls night with some girls from church to the Melting Pot for dinner. The theme at the restaraunt that night was bridesmaids dresses, so everyone there was all decked out in their finest. We had a lot of fun and it was so nice to get out for a night and have a little girl time!

Last weekend we went up to Dallas to celebrate Mammaw and Papaw's 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great time haning out with family and celebrating Mammaw and Papaw! The girls had a blast playing with their cousins! Morgan and Sydney having fun in the hot tub!

Jayda and Brady had so much fun jumping off the side of the pool together.

Jacob and I in front of our new boat, yay!!

Such good kiddos wating for us while everyone checked out the new boat.

On saturday we all went over to Bass Pro Shop, which was connected to our hotel, to look around. They happened to have a kids challenge going on outside so Jayda and Braden wanted to participate. This was Jayda at the archery station.

Sydney was trying out a little fishing with daddy.

On saturday night we went out to dinner at Love and War in Texas...one side of our big table.

And the other side.

Having fun riding on the saddle at the restaraunt.

The beautiful anniversary cake for Mammaw and Papaw!

Our little fam!

It was also Lourdes' birthday that day so we had to get her something special too!

The whole gang after dinner! Congrats to Mammaw and Papaw on 50 years!

Today at Jayda's school we celebrated her "birthday". Although her actual birthday is not until July, her teacher has been letting all the kids with summer birthday celebrate during the year so that everyone can feel special. Sydney and I went up this morning and showed a few pictures of Jayda when she was a baby and Jayda got to take her favorite toy to show the class. Then, her teacher traced her and all of her classmates went around said super sweet thing about her. A few were "I love her very much", "I like her dress", "I like playing with her" etc. It was so darn cute! We took donut holes in for the class to enjoy as well. I think she felt pretty special!

Easter 2012

Last weekend we went to Huntsville to spend time with our families for Easter. We had a really nice relaxing weekend hanging out with everyone. The girls had lots of fun doing Easter egg hunts, dying eggs, and playing outside. We had a great time!

Sweet girls in the back of Pawpaw's truck. Pawpaw had found the girls a big turtle to play with. They ended up naming him Blue and fun with him all weekend.


Sydney was so happy to see the moo-cows!


Caitlyn and Jayda died Easter eggs over the weekend. Jayda had so much fun with it!


Her favorite, the blue egg!


Riding around the driveway at Oma and Oupa's house. "Weeeee!"


Cooling off in the fountains at Sam Houston.


Just chillin'.


They don't exactly fit on this together anymore.


Opening up their Easter eggs after the egg hunt at Oma and Oupa's house.


The Easter Bunny brought bunny ears! Happy Easter!


Bug hunting before church on Easter morning. Just what little girls should be doing in their Easter dresses. :)


Checking out Oma's bird bath.


Happy Easter 2012!


Our sweet little family on Easter morning.


We only had 4 kiddos for the Easter egg hunt at Nana and Pawpaw's house this year. They got lots of eggs!


Searching for the eggs.


Opening up their eggs filled with all sorts of goodies.


Last week Jayda and her bf at school Jenna wore the same outfit, pure coincidence. They were SO excited to be wearing the same thing!

Scootin' Around

Nothing too much to report around here lately. Both Jayda and Sydney got sick with a yucky virus last thursday and are just now getting over it, so that has not been too fun. Therefore, I haven't gotten too many cute pictures recently. Although the girls were sick over the weekend they still went to stay with Oma and Oupa at their farm in Waller. And, even though they both ran fever all weekend they had a blast! Thank you SO much Oma and Oupa for taking them and giving us a break, we had a wonderful, relaxing weekend together! The girls pretty much had their own zoo out there feeding the cows, goats, and fish and meeting the new neighbor donkey, Jack. The bluebonnets were out in full bloom and blankets of them surronded their barn, it was beautiful! Oma got a new EZ-Go so the girls loved getting to ride around on that all weekend. Jayda was even driving it all on her own, pedals/wheel and all! She LOVED that, especially since she asks me all the time when she's going to be 16 so that she can drive?! Oh, that girl!

Going out for one of many rides on the EZ Go with Oma. The girls had so much fun on it!


They love feeing cubes to Oma and Oupa's cows, Harry and Oreo.


Playing in the beautiful bluebonnets!


Oupa took them to pet the new donkey next door, Jack. They have still been talking about Jack.


Feeding the goats a little grass at the goat farm. They thought this was so cool!


Sweet girls wearing some of their new outfits Mama got them. Love the pretty colors!


The girls are SO into their scooters right now. Jayda has had one for a while and Sydney started scootin' around on it one day, without any help or teaching. She was so good on it right away. Ever since she has loved the scooter and the girls had been getting into lots of fights over it. Thankfully, Oma got Sydney her very own scooter for her birthday so now they love to ride them together. We take them to the park a lot and ride around the neighborhood. They did try bringing them inside the house for a while to ride around on. But, after Jayda crashed into our new furniture (whoops) and Sydney busted her lip I had to make a new rule...scooters have to stay outside!

Scootin' out at the park. Of course I couldn't get them both to look at me and smile, so I'll just put up 2 pics...Sydney smiling for me.


Now Jayda's cheesing and Sydney's looking away...always happens.


On the move, Sydney always follows behind her big sister.


"Faster, faster, faster!!"


Sweet girl outside before church.


Matching sisters!


Jayda loves her daddy!


Playing in the water fountain at church.


Jayda took a picture of us, love the angle!


All ready for a sunday afternoon bike ride.


Checking out the ducks and turtles at the park.


Laughing at the duckies!


"What, you wanna take my picture?!"


I took the girls out for a walk with their scooters to play in the water puddles after the rain. They were so excited!


Sydney loved stomping in the water. She would go through one puddle then turn around and go back and forth over and over until we finally convinced her to keep walking so that we could find another puddle.


We had a delicous dinner at Taste of Texas to celebrate Andrea's birthday!


We did a little swimsuit shopping today and the girls wanted to put this one on because it was their favorite. So cute!
