S. Padre Day 4 - More of the Same


Nothing like a little ballerina-ing on the patio before heading to the beach!





Any street with this name is the BEST sight!!!

When the big big sister ISN'T around he KNOWS who's BOSS! And she takes her role to a whole new level and he obliges (most of the time).











These two were the king and queen of sand playing that week!

The Faces of May that I LOVE

One of my favorite things to do is to look through my monthly pictures. I probably take more time looking than I post but the pictures make me smile. May was no different. There were so many faces, expressions, moments that I loved and each face means SOMETHING. Not always enough for their own post but gathered all together makes for the faces I LOVE!!  I love that a picture captures a moment and lets you relive that moment each time you take a peek at it. What's not to love about that!

Finding an activity they ALL can do together and LOVE!

 
The happy result of the early morning artist. And I am the lucky one who gets to see it each time I walk out the door!

Another proud artist moment in May. Drawing a car and labeling!

 
Very cool and memorable week for a certain 2nd grader!

 
Artist by morning, chef by lunch. We were playing outside and she announced to Carter and I that she was going inside to make us lunch. No joke, the three of us had a four course meal with a hard boiled egg, applesauce, granola and grapes. Best lunch I have had in a long while.

 
My cousin Brent was in town for business and it happened to be the same weekend my mom was here. We went to dinner and ice cream and had a blast. He had never met Carter before so it was especially fun to introduce Car to the cousin who put up with our antics while he babysat us :)

 

Lending a helmet!

 
Car helping with homework...spelling city

 
It wasn't that long ago he was dragging every cup out that we put away NOW he helps put the clean cups from the dishwasher away. Never to early to start chores!

 
Good morning, early morning face!

 
A friend's birthday cake frosting face...

 
Celebrating a very special daddy's birthday faces

 
This is a daily face...most days he has his new helmet on at ALL times and won't take it off!

 



My favorite...blowing bubbles face!

S. Padre Day 2 - Beach to Pool

We pretty much went back and forth from beach to pool, pool to beach most of the time we were in Padre. I have never seen the girls get ready as fast as they did to head out to the beach...



so once that happened you would think we would be ready to go, but not so there was a bit of a delay with the other "girls" in the house...they weren't ready quite yet!



We quickly found out Ariel could NOT "go to the beach" without her bathing suit on so once Brooklyn finished as her fashion consultant all was right with the world and we went about our beach day!












The pool at the condo was great! Carter was unstoppable, the girls were loving the spa and jumping in together and I loved just taking it all in. My family all together, relaxed and enjoying the simple stuff, the stuff that we all want more of and have to fight to have it in the busyness of day to day!
