Bluebonnets

Last month the bluebonnets were in full bloom right on Bethany.  The whole median for several blocks was full of them and such pretty wildflowers.  For weeks, people would stop all over the street and park wherever and get out and take pics of the flowers, kids, families.  The night we went out for some reason there were no other families so we got the whole place to ourselves which was so great!!! 

Ella looked like this, alot, but every now and then as the camera kept rolling she gave us some good shots :)

And, Avery pretty much looked like this the whole time...she was having a blast taking photos.  She even took the camera from me for awhile and took some of us.  Warning - there's alot of them!

Morning Walks

Sometimes the girls and I go on walks in the morning on our days off.  With their jammies still on, we head across the street for a stroll. Sometimes we take our bikes but that's another post.  This day, Avery filled a purse with necklaces for her and Ella to wear while out on the walk :)

Helping her cross the street...come on Ella!

Their new fascination is roly polys.  We can't go 2 steps without one of them seeing them. Poor roly polys once they get in Ella's grasp!

Quick break to get out some necklaces. These girls have to accesorize!

Much better!

That bag is starting to get a bit heavy.  Back home we go.



Happy Birthday Mommy!

My b-day landed on a Friday this year so I totally took advantage of it and celebrated ALL weekend...starting Thursday :)

Out with my girls at Watters Creek on Thursday morning.  We hit up all our fav stores.  Avery was loving Vera Bradley...her fav store and they were having an "open" house so they had mini waters and cookies to take with you.  She thinks that every time she goes there she will get something for free bcuz most of the time they do give her something that they have lying around.  Lucky duck!

Enjoying their cookies out by the water

I love it when they hold hands and walk together.  It's so cute to me!

Friday night we had dinner at Darmi & Poppy's an then went up to the Hughston elementary carnival.  We went last year and Avery loved it.  Ella got to join in on the fun this year.  The closest we could get to a decent family pic!

Ready for some ice cream pie

Love her!

Both girls got their faces painted . Surprisingly, Ella sat so still while the girl painted this heart on her face.  After, they let her look at herself in the mirror and she kept pointing to her face and saying "heart!"

One of my b-day desserts

The other b-day dessert...heaven b/t cookies.  The donut hole things didn't even get touched. We ate all 3 of the cookie sandwiches, crumbs and all!!

We then went bowling at my favorite bowling alley where we both won a game each.  Ties are perfect unless I win both times :)  Mind you, I'm the T & Tim is the J

Good form babe!

Boo, I lost this game!

Sunday, we celebrated with the Penrods and Jurneys at Molly's.  So relaxing and such yummy food.  Both my delicious desserts made by none other than Ms. Kitty!! 

And, last, but not least.  The song Ella keeps walking around singing:
