Ice cream was EVERYWHERE.

Backwards and head first! DJ's getting comfortable with tricks on the new swing set!

I LOVE this boy!

I don't get it, I don't know why, but Callie LOVES sitting here. Such a big girl!

Picture Stands Craft Night FUN!

 We had 80, yes EIGHTY picture stands ordered for our craft night! They were only $5 each and turned out so darn cute! Thanks to Don for helping me cut all the wood!

Getting ready to assemble!

Feeding Fishies... it's been a while!

We hadn't been to feed the fishies in a long time... so we decided to take some dog food over there and visit the fish and ducks! GOSH, this is a LOT of fish!

I think it is crazy how the ducks can WALK on the fish swimming in the water!

Callie saying 'birdie! birdie!'

It's a beautiful day!

Easter 2012

CHEESE! Our Easter was pretty low key, but fun! DJ loved hunting for eggs... with the new swing set, there were a lot more places to hide all the eggs! This 'girlie' basket was just for the hunting... it was much bigger to find all the eggs.

Here is his 'real' basket. :) Of course Lightening McQueen.

Little Miss Callie Girl eating peeps and chocolate... yum! HAPPY EASTER!

Swing Set

The swing set BEFORE. Daunting...

The swing location mapped out with Don's homemade landscaping flags. :)

DJ's helping by pumping air into the punching bag. :) He has been so excited... it was especially exciting when the big delivery truck came to drop off the swing set boxes!

Ladder, DONE.

Base close to done.

DJ kept sliding down the rock climbing wall as if it were the ladder.

On page 40 of 79 in the instruction book! *SIGH*

Swings on! :) Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were out in full force, so we didn't stay out long... but it was SO FUN.

FINISHED!

Callie standing at the window saying in a very soft high pitched tiny voice "wee! wee!" She LOVES swinging!

Museum

We love going to the Fort Worth Children's museum... and I think this is the first time DJ saw and touched a snake!

Callie started walking yesterday... and now she's running!

Texas Blue Bonnets

Taking pictures of kids is one of the most frustrating things. EVER. Taking pictures of kids in the weeds and sun, more frustrating. :) This was our last minute, ditch effort to finally after three other blue bonnet seasons so far in Texas, to finally get family blue bonnet pictures... everyone's doing it!







Callie and DJ... DJ tried so hard to hold Callie just right, and Callie wanted to go and explore! (plus it might've been naptime! LOL)



My mom was visiting from California and since she was born in Texas, I wanted to get her some pictures of her and the kids in the blue bonnets too!
We love you Grammie!

Finally, a shot where at least three out of four are looking at the camera... and the other one isn't crying! SUCCESS!!??? YES!
