PARTY TIME: Ginny's 2nd Birthday!

Today we celebrated Miss Ginny's 2nd Birthday with an ELMO themed Party! She LOVES Elmo!! We had so much fun celebrating with our Family and Special Friends at GaGa & PaPa's house. We opened presents, and Miss GiGi made out like a bandit! ;) Then we had cake/cupcakes (made by yours truly) and ice cream! Then we went swimming!! What a fun time we had!

Ginny's 2nd Birthday!

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet Dolly! I can't believe you're 2, I love you so very much! You truly complete our wonderful family! :)
Ginny Grace you are loving, sweet, a bit stubborn ;) and just pure joy to be around! You love your family & friends so much! You are getting to be such a big girl, you actually say "yes" more than "no" :) and it warms my heart when you say " I Lobe you too" :) It cracks me up to hear you tell your dolly's & friends "No Ma'am"~I wonder where you heard that one hee hee ;)
You are so very precious to me!

Family Pics at The Arboretum

Today we had our pictures taken at the Arboretum by a long-time friend of the family and very talented photographer Narci. Here's a link to her website:

She did such a wonderful job of engaging the kids and getting them to actually all look at the camera with sweet smiles AT THE SAME TIME!!! I don't know how she does it!
Narci created such beautiful memories that we will cherish forever!!

Spring Break: The ZOO

Today Daddy took the day off from work and we took the kids to the Fort Worth Zoo! It was such a great way to end Spring Break!! GaGa & PaPa met us there and we all had such a fun time!! Ginny LOVED the Giraffes and all the kids loved the little meerkats! Ben loved the sharks and the birds and Emma loved all of it especially the meerkats & elephants! We also got to ride on the train! After a fun-filled warm morning, we headed to lunch at Cracker Barrel and then back home.
