Bluebonnets in April

The girls and I drove out to Brenham, TX one sunny day to see the bluebonnets. 
The girls were in awe of the gorgeous blue flowers. 
I had a hard time getting their attention, because they were just mesmerized!

Chocolate cookies


It was just a chocolate cookie kind of day.
Gwen and I made some together, during Maggie's nap and while Layla was at school.
We waited for them both to join us and then we enjoyed the chocolatey goodness!










Houston Zoo

Back in February we had my Mom come stay for a week. It was really fun and the girls were in heaven.
One of the days, we went to Layla's school in the morning to see her perform her dances for Western Day. After she was finished, we decided to go to the zoo. 
We STILL hadn't been. 
Sad, I know.
Even though it looks sort of dreary out, it was actually really perfect! 
Slight breeze, cool air, no crowds.
It was great!

Here's a little lake right outside of the zoo. 

Maggie took one for the team and skipped her nap that day.
Here she is, pretending she's excited.

Wait... what's that I see?? Could it be?

DUCKS! 
That sure made her happy.









Here's Layla being brave and petting a hedgehog.
It made me a little nervous that the zoo employee wanted to wear protective gloves, but encouraged children to come pet it. Hmmm.










Poor Tanner. He really hates zoos. 
A trooper for sure. 

What do these girls spy??

Longhorns!

Extra Valentine's Day








Valentine's day out takes.
They are just too funny not to post!

Valentine's





Layla had seen different creative Valentine's on Pinterest with me and decided that she HAD to do the photo illusion one, that makes it look like she's holding a lollipop. 
So, just imagine 25 of these pictures printed out and her holding a sucker!
It was fun!

Beautiful Sunday



This was Gwen's first Sunday as a Sunbeam! We were so excited for her. She has loved her teacher Sister Tullos and has made new friends already. Sometimes she'll put up a bit of a fight, but I can usually get her to go. And she's ALWAYS glad she did.

My girls are getting too big!
