Field trip

Emmy's class had their last field trip--to the farm! She was so excited and I was a nervous mess thinking about her riding that school bus all the way to Collierville. All was fine and she makes a cute farmhand!

Conversations in the madhouse.

Emmy "Mama, am I like you?"

Mama "yes, sometimes so much that it scares me."

Daddy "yes and it's killing me."

Sugar cookies

Sadly, I didn't have a mix for cupcakes but Rose and Emmy Ruth agreed that we could make sugar cookies.

"Rose, do you know the best part about sugar cookies? There is sugar inside and there is sugar outside. There is pretty much sugar all over it {insert waving hand over the cookie to demonstrate how much is on the cookie}."

No Fashion Sense

Emmy wanted to wear these shoes today to school. I tried to tell her that you don’t wear socks and sandals together but she didn’t believe me. I finally took a picture of her to send to Aunt Becca for her thoughts. Those are real tears in her eyes about wearing her sandals. This girl…

 

 

 

Zoo field trip for Kindergarten

I really wish these kids had some personality.

Fun times in Newport

It's no wonder that Emmy cried when we left the Salinases and said "but I hate our house! This is so much more fun!"

Add in a lunch with PapaRichie and LynnLynn and its an awesome weekend.

Mama, can I....

Move to Canada when I start dating?

When can I start dating? When I am 40 or 20?

Old pics

I was cleaning out pictures on my phone and found these little gems.

A lovely weekend.

It was just a great, busy weekend. I couldn't ask for more--except more of my favorite kids with me to share it. We had soccer practice and the crawfish festival. Lots of fun stuff and a wonderful girl and dude. I'm so lucky.

Precious cousins

Emmy and Sol and Rose absolutely adore Dean. The poor boy. Emmy told me that he texted her on his baby phone to tell her she was his favorite.

This was how I found the girls on Easter morning.

 

 

Easter Day

We had such a wonderful Easter! Papa Richie and Lynnlynn joined us for church with the Jackson's. We are so grateful for not only an amazing person like Becca in our family but her amazing family as well. Immediately after church, Sol and Rose jumped back into their pajamas and Julia and John B were there to play too. There were costume changes and egg hunts and chocolate bunnies for all.
