Princesses for a Day!

Billie, Kyleigh, their friend Elizabeth and her cousin, went to "Princess Day" at Chick-fil-A in May.  They all had such a good time!  It was a very nice event and all FREE...don't find that much anymore.  :)

All smiles with their airbrushed tattoos...

Awaiting a limo ride (this was my 1st limo ride as well...ha!)

"Eat More Chicken!"

Getting nails painted...notice Kyleigh's enthusiasm!

Nothing runs like a John Deere!

"We want on the 'Big Daddy' tractor with PawPaw!!!"

Take me out to the Ballgame!

Michael and I took the girls to the Northwest Arkansas Naturals opening game in April; the atmosphere at Arvest Ballpark is great, and they had several activities for the opening night.  The girls love to watch "STRIKE", the mascot.  He arrived by helicopter

before the game.

We had to bundle up; it was so chilly that evening.

They were super excited to meet Natalie, who was the winner of last season's "Survivor".

A week later, Mom & Dad took all of us to an Arkansas Razorback baseball game.  GO HOGS!!!

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks...OR SOME COTTON CANDY!  Just what the kids needed..pure sugar!!!

Good times with those we love and wins for both Arkansas teams!!!

Picture Perfect!

Beautiful flowers and Beautiful girls...

Easter Tradtions!

Coloring eggs...this year, cousins Balin and Averie

came to color eggs with the girls.

Billie & Kyleigh with the finished eggs

Hunting Easter Eggs at church...they filled up!  Notice Kyleigh's chocolate teeth; she just couldn't wait!

Sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap...Billie kept telling Kyleigh that there was someone in that Easter Bunny.  She kept staring so intently trying to figure it out.

"Yay!  The Easter Bunny left us surprises!"

Sadly, there is no picture for the next tradition...a family picture at our church's Sunrise Service.  Why?  Because I was so sick in bed.  Michael took the girls to church and breakfast, while I had to stay behind.  I don't like missing church on any Sunday, but to miss on Easter Sunday was especially frustrating.

And Lastly, a big Easter Dinner...again, I missed out.  Michael and the girls went to Mom & Dad's with the rest of the family to eat and hunt eggs.

They didn't know PawPaw was getting in their picture.  After they noticed him, Billie said, "Oh you silly PawPaw!!!!"

March 2010

Random activities from March 2010...

Drake got a go-kart, so he came to give the girls a ride.

Another birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's...this one was for Balin.

Flying kites...Billie screamed to Kyleigh, "Kyleigh, don't let it go too high, or Jesus will get it!!!!!"  :)

Happy 34th Birthday to Michael!  The kids and I decorated his choice of dessert...cheesecake!

Little Rock Zoo

Playing Catch up...that's the story of my life.  These pictures are from March, so expect to see more spring and Easter photos posted here soon.  Ha!

We tagged along with my friend Cindy and her daughter Katie to her follow-up appointment after back surgery at Children's Hospital so we could go to the zoo afterwards.  The girls had lots of fun.  Kyleigh was just enamoured with the "monkeys"...she kept asking if she could get in there with them.  She really LOVES monkeys!  They were hilarious to watch; they really put on a show!  When we left, she asked if she could go tell "her monkeys" bye.  How sweet!

We also had a yelling incident that had Cindy and me in tears from laughing so hard.  Katie was holding on to the end of Billie's harness when Billie decided to walk one way to look at something, and Katie was interested in something else across the way.  Needless to say, Billie got jerked back a little, and then she turned and screamed, "STOP IT KAAATIEEEEE!!!!"  Katie proceeded to yell back, "Sorry, I didn't mean to!"  Just like a real sisters' little tiff!  Wow!  Cindy and I just stopped in our tracks laughing at the both of them.  Ha!
