Summer Vacation Part I

We are lucky enough to be taking two vacations this summer so this post is the first half of our family vacation photos.  Our first road trip was to Hilton Head, SC, we had a great week, it was perfect weather as long as you were in the water (it was a scorcher that week) but believe me I am not complaining since we've had much worse weather on our vacations the last couple of years.  It was a great week and besides our daily swimming trips to the ocean we did a lot of fun activities like a dolphin cruise, crab fishing and a day trip to Georgia to pay a visit to Paula Deen's restaurant.

A stop on the way to Hilton Head, we needed to stop and exert some energy!

How fun was this...catching crab with bait

What A Year

Just wanted to post a quick pic of Emma on the first day of kindergarten and one from the last day of school ....what a difference a year has made.  Emma's appearance has definitely changed but it's also been so great to see her experience some cool milestones like losing her two front teeth, meeting friends that may last a lifetime, learning to read and graduating from kindergarten, it's been a big year and I have more pics to come.

May Happenings

It's almost impossible to believe that we are wrapping up the school year next week.  Not only is Emma going to officially graduate from kindergarten but Ally is also graduating from Goddard where they will have a graduation ceremony next Tuesday night, so cute and pics to follow! 

Like most months May flew by, it was so busy but May is turning into one of my favorite months of the year!  Below are some pics from Emma's field trip to Powder Valley, Ally's Goddard Prom, Mother's Day Tea and of course little miss K's big 3rd birthday!

Going To The Game

We took the girls to the Cardinals game on Saturday afternoon and had a great time at the ballpark.  It was a beautiful day, our seats were great and the girls enjoyed the longest game ever (I think it eventually ended after 20 innings)! 

But here's the thing...we are so grateful for the tickets that we were given but we've found the last two years that the girls really enjoy walking around the ballpark and eating and once those two things are accomplished they are ready to call it a day....they have no interest in the game and what's happening on the field, they are really just worried about how much junk they can get in their bellies!  So with history repeating itself we only stayed until the 5th inning!

Anyway, it was still a fun day....below are some pics!

April's Here Already

Oops ....No March post, it flew by in a heartbeat. I can't believe that Easter weekend is already checked off the calendar! We have the busiest April with weddings, a baby shower, birthday parties, doctor and dentist appointments, Ally's Goddard School Prom Night and even a trivia night (I haven't been to one of those in a long time but I'm sure some things never change....I will be great at eating and drinking but not much help to the table otherwise). Anyway, below are a bunch of pics, some from March and some from Easter.

Emma school field trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens:

Emma and her Girl Scout Troop spent the cookie money they earned on a trip to Build-A-Bear so thanks to everyone who bought Girl Scout cookies this year!

Thanks to Linda and Renee for taking the girls to the annual SAGS Easter Party! They had a great time!
