Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day was Friday at school. I was in charge of the breakfast. Mimi came and went to the girls class. They sang some songs and did some crafts. Went to chapel with their grandparents. Since I was in charge of the breakfast I didn't get any pictures in the  classroom. I was sad I missed the classroom fun. It was a great turnout and the girls really enjoyed having Mimi there to visit and see what they do at school.

Birthday Girls

We had the girls Birthday Party at Lifetime Fitness. They had a bounce house and gym games but the best part was the scooters. Those scooters would slide so fast across the gym floor. We had a few crashes but no injuries. The girls said the scooters were the best part of the party. We then made our way to the party room and had pizza and cake. It was a great 4th birthday party. Nothing better than spending a day with great friends. We decided to open presents at home and let me tell you it looked like Christmas morning. We got the girls a Loving Family Doll House and Mimi got the girls the rooms to go in the doll house. They also got barbies, babies, more doll house stuff, games, and books. Having their party early was a great idea and next year we may have it earlier. Time just gets away from me because their birthday is so close to Thanksgiving.

The Gore's Party

Jamey and Shauna had a party and it was so great to see everyone especially Chris and John David.It was great to meet new people as well.  It was a good time and a much needed night out with Gary. The Texas Cartel played a few songs, nothing like good friends and good music to top off the night.

A Dog, Ponies and a Cat

It was such a beautiful Sunday and a great day for a Pony ride. We went to The Millhouser home to see the ponies, "Princess and Boo." The girls were in heaven. Brooke woke up this morning so excited to see "Ace." He is the best dog ever. He lets the kids crawl all over him and doesn't seem to mind one bit. Brooke is such a natural with the horses and is not afraid at all. She doesn't care that they are bigger than her she just handles them like they are dogs. So cute to see her handle them like she has done this all her life. Both girls fell in love with "Noodles," the cat. As you can see the cat loves to be held. My favorite picture is the one of Brooke holding Noodles the cat and has the reins of Boo while Prelsey is on the horse. Then Boo has to get a sniff of Noodles the cat. It did make me a little nervous at first but as you can see I still took the pictures without hesitation. The pictures are not the best because of the sun shining in their eyes and it was a little windy but I still love the whole experience and to see them so excited. I don't think I could have wiped the smiles off of any of their faces. It was such a special day and I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and children. Thank you God for bringing these special people into my life.

Deck The Tables

Deck the Tables is a fundraiser to earn money for the Teachers Fund. It was a really fun day. The first two tables were my favorite tables and the blue table "Under The Sea" was the table where I ate my lunch. We happened to be the loudest table and for once I can say it wasn't my fault. I blame it on the host of our table, Kathy Reed. She is such a fun-loving person and a great table host. Thanks to Mimi for watching the girls so I could attend this wonderful event. Who knows, maybe next year I will decorate my own table. What a blessing to spend my day with such wonderful women.

Waiting for Mimi

Mimi was coming over to watch the girls and at 9:00am they were watching for her out the kitchen window. They had a long wait because she wasn't scheduled to come until 10:30am. It is so sweet to see them so excited about the little things.
