SheArt Class

I have been taking this online class called SheArt by Christy Tomlinson. It is a great class. I took this class to learn the backgrounds. She is an awesome instructor. I made the first two canvases for the girls and the other two I made for the school auction. I love creating and this is so up my alley. I haven't finished the girls canvases because I can't figure out what I want to say on their canvas yet. I want it to reflect their personality.

The Things Kids Will Say

This morning the girls came and climbed in bed with us and we were all laying quietly. 
Brooke- Mommy you are gray and I am brown. See, as she holds her arm to mine. Gray and brown.
Me- As I laugh. Brooke, I don't think I'm gray.
Brooke-Yes you are.

At first I thought she was talking about my hair being gray but I just had it colored so I knew she wasn't referring to my hair. I know my skin is pail but does it really look gray?
Kids will be kids!

A Fun Day In April

The day started with a soccer game and then we headed to a birthday party at Mountasia. It was a fun party.

We played games, ate pizza and cake, putt putt, rode go carts, bumper boats, and more games. It was a great time spent with my children.I love those memories etched in my mind. Once we got home we played outside and went on a bike ride. It was such a beautiful day we had to be outside. We then headed to Southlake for Art In The Square. As you can see the girls got their faces painted. Presley went first and chose a butterfly and Brooke said she wanted spiderman. Gary and I both laughed. She obviously changed her mind once she saw Presley's painted face. I love to see excitement in my children's eyes and when Presley saw the Bungy Jump her eye's lit up and her face was full of excitement and she said, "Mommy I want to jump." And jump she did. They went down slides and jumped in bounce houses. We closed the place down and had a great time. Life is good and with a day like we had, why wouldn't it be! I didn't take any pictures of our fun day so as soon as we got home I snapped these pictures of their painted faces so we could have a reminder of our fun day!

Bluebonnets

 We finally made it to take pictures in the bluebonnets. Which by the way, I have never taken any pictures of the girls in the bluebonnets. I can't believe I just had to write that last sentence. It was a windy day and the girls were not cooperating. I got some good ones but once I loaded them on my computer I realized I had my camera set on fluorescent lighting from the day before when I was taking pictures of the girls in the gym at school. So the pictures all had a blue hue. I had to correct every single picture, not a happy person when I realized my mistake. I still feel like they are not my best pictures but, hey I have bluebonnet pictures and it is what it is and I am happy I have some at all. I realized after that day I really need an external flash for days like this one. Presley was better than Brooke on this day as you can tell there are more pictures of her.

Go Brooke!

She doesn't look like she is into the game here but she really was I promise!

There she goes again with her hands in her pants!

The girls have come a long way with soccer. They are starting to play and love playing the game. It is so fun to watch how much they have grown from when they started last season. The team is all girls. It is suppose to be coed but we didn't have any boys on our team this time. I think it is better because it gives the girls a chance to play and score. The coach's daughter still has not played in a game except for this game Gary got her out on the field and she blocked a ball from going in the goal. She didn't last long but at least she did get in the game. She is too funny, her parents have tried everything to get her to play. She will practice with the team but doesn't care to play on game day.

Indian Princess Camp Out

The girls are going on the Indian Princess Camp Out on Saturday after their soccer game. Daddy went to buy a new tent since the other tent has had it's last day. It served it's purpose for a long time. I have had that tent since the days when we use to camp out on the Brazos and go tubing. Such fun times but now our family has grown and the four men tent wasn't big enough. So daddy brought home an eight men tent. The girls were precious and so excited and silly to say the least. They are going to have so much fun with their daddy. It's a love hate thing. I love that they get to spend the time with their daddy and the fact that I can do whatever I want to do for 24 hours. But I hate that I don't get to experience it with them and that I will jhave no photos to post later because daddy won't take any pictures of the whole weekend. So I will cherish these and just be thankful they will have the time of their life.
