C Turns the Big 6!

C turned 6 on the 27th. She officailly has to use 2 hands to tell people how old she is. :(

She had a wonderful day filled with fun at Pump It Up with lots of friends in attendance.

Happy Birthday Cissy Belle!

Spring Break in Texas

This March we decided to stay closer to home for spring break. We thought that Austin would be a good place to go to seeing as it is our state capitol and all.

N and C were not sure not being at the beach would be much of a spring break, but went along with it. As it turned out, it was one of our best vacations!

Our first day was a bit cold and rainy so we went to see the state capitol. It was so interesting to see it in person.

N got to attend a baseball camp at UT for the first 3 mornings and the afternoons were spent swimming, throwing football, playing soccer, riding horses and ponies. Every evening there was a tremendous buffet with s'mores afterwards around the firepits. There were also movies on the lawn at dusk. All this was set along the Mighty Colorado River. If you ever get a chance to go to Austin, you have to check out the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort! We loved it!

C's Kindergarten Go Texan Day at school

Here are a few shots of C's day at her Go Texan Day. (they start them early with the texas proud stuff :p )

I had to include the first photo due to the moment behind it. C got a group of her classmates to come into the picture and then proceded to say, "ok I've got an idea...you stand here, you stand here, etc. I couldn't believe my ears. The mom next to me was impressed, I was just thinking, "the apple didn't fall far from the tree" :)

The other picture is of her class doing a Texas tornado dance that they had been learing. Very cute.

C also had her first school project to do for the day. Each child was to make their own stick pony. Once again C was able to use her direction skills and tell mom where to put everything. Not really, she did stuff and apply most of the decoration to it herself.

**School Projects...the opportunity for parents to make up for their own school projects that their parents did for them!!! And the cycle continues.
