Grey is 6!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 6 today! We had his birthday party last weekend and he had an amazing time. He wanted to do a winter theme, and since it rarely snows here in Texas in late April (ha, ha!) we had to use our imaginations some! We kept everything blue and white. All the treats on the table were blue or white, or both. My best friend made this amazing cake (she's a baker extra-ordinaire!), we did snowflake decorations, etc. Then for the activities we had "ice fishing" where the kids fished in a little pond where I had originally set out some floating ice glaciers (those didn't last long in the heat, unfortunately). Then we moved on to snow making. The kids thought this was fantastic! We had a "snow shoe relay" where the kids had to shuffle along in make believe snow shoes (anyone out there ever tried to find shoe shoes in Texas? yah, that was fun!). We had a snowman pinata, and lastly a snowball fight with snowballs made from Bahama Bucks. Really, they are ice balls, so instead the kids just threw the balls around the yard and at the fence, but it was still a lot of fun. I think it was a party Grey will remember for years to come!

I have set a goal for myself that I would update a picture a day for the month of April on my photography blog.  Go take a look at all the things we have done this month!  Leave me some love, peeps.  It’s nice to know when people are out there!  :)

Getting ready for s’winter

We are getting ready for a winter theme birthday party for Grey tomorrow!  More pictures to come!

bluebonnets

Well, we tried to get pictures in the Bluebonnets today.  One child was helpful.  One was not.  We’ll try again next week!!

This morning as we were going to gymnastics Grey told me "Shhhh Mommy. God is talking to me". After a few minutes Grey said "Huh". So I asked him "What did God say"? Grey replied "I don't know. He was talking in spanish".

I just wanted to remember that!

gooooooooooooaaaalllll!!!!

Guess who scored a goal tonight?

Easter weekend

 

This weekend we had most of my family come in town for a fun and very busy weekend!  We went to Canton for Good Friday and spent Saturday at the stockyards.  These are just a few of the pictures I took and wanted to post.
