Picture Overload

I have been major MIA lately. I know this. I feel like we have been going 90 to nothing and its already June!!!! I am so thankful for this rainy Saturday morning to sit around the house and get a chance to write and share some pictures because otherwise we would be at the pool. Thats where we have been the last 2 weeks straight!! We have worn out our neighborhood pool already, our everyday routine consists of waking up around 6:30 am, eat breakfast and by 8:30 we are on our way to swim. We are home by 10:30 to get a bath, eat lunch and then nap. Makes for an awesome summer day. I am so fortunate that I can stay home with my babies. They enrich my life so much.
Well, Sittre Paige turned 4 and a HALF, this is very important because she has begun to plan her 5th birthday party, she is a flowergirl next weekend, and then starts swimming lessons on June 7th. We have got to get rid of the floaties!!!
Stella is now 16 months and is a bit of a struggle. She is her own person and knows that this whole family caters to her every need. So she gets everything she wants and if she doesn't, well its not a pretty picture. She can throw a fit like nobodys business. Its a good thing she is so cute with her big bows, otherwise I might go crazy. She is still struggling in the hair department! Can't wait to see her with hair around that sweet face!
These pictures are random and out of order but its just whats been going on.

Stella backstage at Sittre Paige's dance recital. Can't wait till both my girls are dancing!!

4 1/2 and 16 months

Sittre Paige and daddy after the rectial was over. We were so proud of SP. She really did a great job and enjoyed being on stage. Jared's parents took all the pictures of her on stage so once I can get those uploaded I will post some. Unfortunately I couldn't take any because I was running back and forth from the backstage then to see her perform and then back again! Should be very interesting once I have 2 girls dancing on recital day.

Sittre Paige and Lacey before going on stage.

Since SP did such a good performance we took her to get a prize. She wanted some nails so bad! Hilarious!

My brother Jacob and SP after the recital. She had alot of support that day!

SP and her friend Lacey again. Its so funny how your children latch on to other kids. They got along so good and teamed up every chance they could. You wouldn't see one without the other! I really hope they are in the same class next year.

Watching Saturday morning cartoons.

Mrs. Ashley and SP before the start of her 3K graduation program. The theme was 50's style.

Some of the 3k class before the program.

Lovey and SP on the night of her dance recital rehearsal. My mom couldn't make it to the recital due to a planned girls beach trip so she came to rehearsal night to watch SP perform.

SP and Lacey on rehearsal night.

This was SP's end of the year 3K party. They had pizza and ice cream sundae's. I am going to miss this class so bad, SP made so many great friends and keeps asking to go back to school because she is missing them. I have explained that she will be getting a new class with new friends but hopefully she will have some old ones get in her 4K class.

Daddy and SP on bike day.

Please take a look around at who my precious daughter hangs out with??? All boys. She loves playing with boys, it makes me laugh. Maybe because they do what she tells them too?? This won't last long.

Lovey and Stella before we left for Georgia. We spent the weekend at my mom's brothers house for Mother's Day weekend. We had a great, relaxing time.

Stella hanging out one day.

Sittre Paige learning to ride a big girl bike.

I have become obsessed with these! Its a smoothie mix and you just add milk!!! They are sooooo good!! Craving one now.

The girls riding their toys

Taking a walk to pops and Lovey's house one Saturday morning. SP loves to drive Stella and Stella enjoys changing the radio station. I wonder if they are going to enjoy sharing a car when they are older???

This is an old picture from Easter but we had to teach Stella how to hunt eggs and put them in the basket. We cheered her on in the background.

Forgot to post a picture of the "bunny cake" tradition. Its certainly not as pretty as last years cake but I think Lovey got overwhelmed with an extra helper this year. Check out that mess!!! Because this is a "pops and lovey tradition", Jared and I enjoyed a date night!!!

Okay I think I am up to date now? Don't know for sure, but nonetheless, I will be back. Happy Memorial Day, I am so incredibly thankful for the men and women who serve and risk their lives so that I may live freely. Freedom is certainly not free.
