First Day of School for Lilee

On Wednesday, my baby girl confidently walked into school without me & became a first grader!! She was so excited. Over the summer they mailed information about 1st grade like the name of her teacher & who was in her class. She was so excited her best buddy Emma was on the list! So, I'm pretty sure that was part of the excitement. I still can't believe my sweet baby girl is in the First Grade...I mean look at this picture...I thought THIS was hard, her first day of Pre-School...



Hahaha, what was I thinking! Now look at this, my sweet, confident, independent GIRL NOT a baby...






We let Lilee pick her favorite meal to have on her first day & she chose Spaghetti! I made this special plate to use for birthdays, big occasions, being caught being good & more. Lilee was excited to use the plate on her first day of school!

Vacation 2011...WARNING...LOTS of pictures!!

We had such a wonderful time on vacation!! This year we went to Myrtle Beach & we loved it so much, we have already decided that we are going again next year instead of somewhere new!!!

Of course I had to take the annual "here we go" photo...this year we have 2 eager for vacation!



Of course I HAD to take a picture of the manicure!


We thought the mountains looked so pretty with the clouds...


All greased up & ready to go...





Ready for dinner...



It is like Christmas for the kids!! They are just a LITTLE spoiled by their Aunt Jessica & Uncle Eric...
















The beach....ahhhh the beach...well, one of them LOVED the ocean & the sand & the other not so much. Now, it might surprise you which was which...Lilee LOVED the ocean, she would run off & jump the waves & would wade in with Daddy. Now, Samuel on the other hand LOVED the sand, but the minute you start walking towards the water...holy moly look out!!





















Crazy barrette's from Aunt Jessica...



Just like Daddy...



The 3 Amigo's!! These 3 are always together playing some type of game that they have made up, I love their relationship, I grew up with all my cousins around too & I am glad we are passing that on to our children!!












Waiting at Senor' Frogs...

















We went into this store called It's Sugar, it was so neat...I mean every kind of candy you can think of was in there, we all loved it. The kids favorite display was the Pez display...









We played games at night once the kids went to bed & on one of the last nights we played bullsh*t, we had so much fun, the winner got to wear the Smurf hat (sorry guys I'm not posting mine) ahahaha






of course we had snacks & this was the fanciest, yeah you are seeing that right & it was good =D


Well, it was such a nice time & memories were made & we are ready for the school year...on the way home, we kept hearing giggles from the back & I turned around & this is what I saw...




Thank you God for my family!!

Great Weekend

We had such a good weekend!! It actually felt like I was off longer than a few days. Lilee knew it was 4th of July & Samuel well, he was just pumped because Lilee was!! So, when Chuck came home for dinner we were beyond excited to do some sparklers!!
















Then came Lilee's favorite part & then of course Samuel's favorite part...the dessert
