Tea Party

Lily Grace is 3 years old! I can't believe that this little angel has been with us for 3 years. She is such an amazing gift from God. We had a dress up tea party this year. She invited Ethan, Landry, Mavanee, and Annie. I had fun getting all the things ready for the party. Look at all the goodies! I didn't have to buy much! I just bought boas, and a tie and mustaches for Ethan. Lily Grace had everything else!
I decided to let the children use my china for the party. They did great. Here is what the fancy table looked like.

Lily Grace wanted muffins (as she calls them) for her party. I went to the Cupcake Cottage. Yum!!

Look at our beautiful guests. They are all ready for the tea party!

Everyone got to help poor their own "tea." I actually used punch this time.

The kids had punch, cupcakes, fruit and little peanut butter sandwiches.

Hollywood Florida

My wonderful sister took my mom and I to Hollywood, Florida for our second annual girl's trip. When we got to the hotel, my sister had my mom and I go into the bathroom and wait. When she called us out we each had a bag like this one sitting on the bed. She filled it with magazines, water, candy, and told us to choose from of list of spa treatments. She was taking us to the spa on Friday! I was so excited.

This was our home for 4 days. We were on the 19th floor!
The pool was so nice!

When you go under this bridge, you can look up and see a glass bottom pool on top. It was cute to see all the little kids swimming.

AHHHHH. The ocean!

Our spa trip. It was a good thing that we scheduled our spa day on Friday because it rained that day. In fact, it was a tropical storm.

Beach Time!

We swam, worked on our tans and I read about 8 magazines and a book. I never get to just lay around and read! We also ate pretty well while we were there. Friday we when to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. There were several shops and live music. We had fun walking around. My mom and sister played the penny slots. I am not a gambler but, I enjoyed watching them. I had an amazing time with my mom and sister. I am so blessed to have these girl trips.

4th of July 2010

We had a festive 4th of July. On Sunday, we went to my parents house for a BBQ chicken cookout, swimming and relaxing. It was a cool afternoon. Pawpaw and Granny came over too. That night we meet the Lynns to watch the fireworks. Travis actually had the day off. I don't think he has ever had the day off since I met him. He was super excited! On Monday, we went to Stephenville to have another cookout and swimming and a firework display by Katie and her boyfriend. I did not take any pictures from my aunt's house.:0( We didn't get home until 11:30 that evening. Lily Grace slept until 10:00 the next morning and took a 31/2 hour nap. I just love spending time with my family!

Sisters. Sisters. There were never such devoted sisters!

My Sweet Pea

Lily Grace wanted to make muffins (cupcakes) for the party. She really likes to help me in the kitchen!

Happy Anniversery

Five years ago I married an amazing man. It is hard to believe that we have been married for five years. Travis is a godly man and is the leader of our family. I know that there is nothing that he wouldn't do for me or Lily Grace. He loves to bring a smile to my face. He is helping to make my dreams come true. I love you Travis!

Play Date Fun!

I have enjoyed my first week of summer vacation. I think Lily Grace has too! On Thursday, Landry came over to play. The girls had a blast! They were very busy little bees!
The girls played with sidewalk chalk. Do you think we have some future artists?

Fun on the tricycles

The girls went for a ride and I got a little exercise.

Fun with bubbles!

My Little Strawberry Shortcake

Lily Grace is into Strawberry Shortcake! She wants to watch her everyday! I decided make her a Strawberry Shortcake hat. She loves it! I think she looks a little like Strawberry Shortcake. What do you think? It is so much fun watching her find new interests. I liked Strawberry shortcake when I was little. My mom found my old metal Strawberry Shortcake lunch box. (Yes, I know I am aging my self.) There was a note inside it that told me to have a good day. Oh...memories!

Dress Up Time!

Lily Grace had her good friend Annie come over for a play date. They had so much fun playing dress-up. I could not resist snapping a few pictures! Aren't they precious?
