Just love this...can't believe they are both big enough...Thanks to Aunt Kelly and Aunt Erica for Mandy's bday bike and supplies!

BUSY DAY

 
 
Oh my goodness, I am so glad I survived today. After a full day of teaching...I ran home Daddy got us fed quickly, he and Kyler headed out for their first T-ball practice, while I got Mandy dressed and headed her off meet Grammy (who was subbing for me at Tappin' tots tonight). Then I turned around and headed back to school for our Open House night. It went well but MAN my feet were glad to get out of my shoes!

Bunny Daze

Today was Bunny Daze (the events for Mandy and Alex to dance in front of a crowd for the very first time). Man what a day! Mandy looked so adorable and was just psyched to dance until she got there and saw all the people! At this age as it was said by many today, the cute factor was definitely there for the little ones. Then we ate and played and watched Alex dance. Man that crew was cute too! Alex did great. The Easter Egg hunt at the end was fun and mostly candy eggs (Yea). But Mandy and Gage did great and the big kids did pretty well. Funny enough, Austin didn't get any candy eggs because the big boys told him to go for the plastic ones with a prize! Poor guy, thank goodness for a sister to share with. Thanks to Grammy, Gran, Papa, Aunt Erica, Uncle Jeremy and Megan for coming to support them. Sorry we didn't get to visit with everyone (the potty was a long haul).

Snow

 

All I can say is that in Texas the weather is ALWAYS changing! Two days ago it was 70 degrees and last night we got snow, I drove to work this morning on icy roads (mostly bridges) and coming home I had to turn on the AC! Gimme a break....

Costumes are in!

 

How precious is this? For those who don't know, this is the costume for Mandy's dance performance.

Mandy's Check Up

At 2 Mandy is just above the 50% in all categories (but her head!). She weighed 27 pounds and was 34 1/8 inches tall.

2 Year Old Pictures with Personality

Mandy's 2nd Birthday Party

Yesterday Mandy turned 2! Holy cow that went by fast. Grandpa assured me that the rest goes by even faster and before you know it they are gone. I will be sure to savor this the best I can. She is such a big girl with so many things happening. I am definitely a proud Mama. It was wonderful to see her play with her cousins and friends. She really enjoyed all the little girls! All the kids seemed to have a blast, so I think it was a hit. Today I took her to get her pictures taken and when we left they asked to use them for training purposes...I am sure they say this to everyone but geez she took some pictures full of personality. Those will come later. Thanks to everyone for coming and being so generous for her birthday, she has done nothing but talk about her party and her singing phone calls (Granny & Graddy, Aunt Lynn & Uncle Mark, and Aunt Joy & family)she felt very special to get singing phone calls! We love you all and thanks for a great 2nd birthday.

T-ball T-ball T-ball

Here we go again...starting off another season. This season, Uncle Shawn is our head coach and Daddy is assisting and we only have 7 boys on the team. We will start practicing next week and games will begin the week of March 24th. That is all we know so far but we met all the parents and some of the boys last night at our parents meeting. Everyone seems nice and I think we are going to have a great season...Go Rangers!

Sunday

Yesterday we had a busy day. We took lunch to the kids and Grammy and Poppy when we went to pick them up from their slumber party Saturday night. I heard about a lot of adventures they had...oh my goodness...too much fun. Surely they wore Grammy and Poppy out! We went straight to the pond to play, fish and fly kites with Aunt Kelly, Uncle Shawn, and the crew. What a blast. Ofcourse the silly mama I am was in such a rush I forgot my camera so these pictures of courtesy of Aunt Kelly. After we finished up there, we went home to clean up and meet the Goulding families at Babe's for dinner. MMMM...what good (fattening) food. It was fun to see all 14 of us at a table for dinner. We did get to eat some wonderful food interrupted only 5 or 6 times for potty trips. On the way home we stopped to see Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Erica and Megan's new house. It is so nice! Way to go and congrats for being in!
