Maddie's Birthday Party

Every year Maddie has a birthday party with her friends from school. This year we did it on May 12th (M's birthday is in summer) and Maddie asked for a gymnastics party.

They got to try all the equipment and had so much fun!!

Mother's Day, Take 2

Me and my girls!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

 Waiting for the music to start.

 Spinning.

 Shining.

 More spins.

 A daring split move.

 And a fun, shining finish.

Last Day of April Showers

 I was cleaning the car and the girls wanted to get sprayed.

 Then the wind took over.

And the girls went into hiding:)

So, What Happened?

Flu which morphed into strep throat, for both me and Ava:( It interrupted our spring break and a little beyond. But we're back to feeling good and will probably finish planting this evening. It's too hot right now--94 degrees. What we planted two weeks ago is sprouting--Yea!!

Spring Break, Day 4

 My girls.

 Mama panda.

The new baby giraff.

We went to the zoo today and ate dinner at Whole Foods. M isn't feeling well and Mama's coming down with a sore throat, so we cut the day short. We'll probably take it easy tomorrow and move our Sea World trip to Friday.

Spring Break, Day 3

 Sister love.

 Surfing on the backs of dolphins.

 Collecting sea shells.

 Sand angels.

 Kite flying and toes touching the sky.
