Disney on Ice

Saturday, Disney on Ice was at Reliant Stadium and we went with our friends the Gleason's. The girls absolutely loved it and Lynlee asked me if we could go every year. NOOO!!

This was Regan's face the entire show, she didn't move a muscle!!

King's Orchard

We heard about this orchard up in Magnolia that you could go and pick you own strawberries, Lynlee had another Friday off and Billy is still on vacation so we headed up. We took a picnic lunch, picked a ton of strawberries and they taste great. They have lots of other things you can pick but most things were not in season except the strawberries.

Family Night JAM

Ha did I fool you with the title, I bet you thought it was another one of Billy's awesome music videos, sorry to disappoint!! Monday we actually made strawberry jam for family night. The girls did most of the work, they mashed the strawberries, added the sugar and pectin. I made sure no one got burned during the boiling and then we filled the jars.

We ended up with 9 jars, the jam is really yummy we've been eating toast in the morning, PB&J's for lunch and I need to make some rolls for dinner just to have some jam on it.

I'm a Big Kid Now-(Kind Of)

We have been potty training this kid forever it seems, but she is making progress. She has filled two potty charts and earned this Barbie she picked out. She was very proud of herself. She does pretty good telling us she needs to go most days, and then there are some days she couldn't be bothered to sit on a toilet at all. But we are proud of her and can't believe she is growing up so fast.

Easter Weekend

We started out the weekend with Lynlee having Good Friday off school, so we planned a play date/potluck Easter egg hunt. The girlies had fun playing with all their friends and as always I love getting together with my friends. You gals are the best and help me survive motherhood!

Little Miss McKenna started eating "real food" (I guess) with some rice cereal. Doesn't she look like she's enjoying it.

We dyed Easter eggs Friday night, it was so humid the dye was just running off and they took forever to dry. But turned out cute.

Yet again Billy had to work over the weekend, but the Easter bunny did remember our house and Regan, Lynlee, and McKenna loved their baskets. They got The Princess and the Frog, new PJs, sunglasses, lots of candy. There was a big chocolate bunny in each girls basket that Regan ate while I got McKenna dressed. We spent the rest of Sunday watching General Conference, there were some great uplifting talks, and they always say things I need to hear. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Let's go fly a kite!

I am loving this Texas Spring!! It has been so beautiful, we have been trying to fly our kites but have been unsuccessful. Luckily yesterday kite-master Billy was home to help us, we got the thing so high in the air the kids thought it was awesome. We definitely scored so major best parent points.

Total Denial

Somewhere along this crazy life this huge baby ate my newborn McKenna, I can't believe she is 4 months old already!! She is getting her own little personality, laughing, trying desperately to roll over, and is lots of fun.

This is a scary pre-shower and make-up picture, but she seems to love me no matter what I look like. Here are her four month stats:

Weight-15lbs 13 oz

Height-25 1/2 inches

Ticklish all over

Loves to take baths but does not like Regan to splash her in the face

Soon to start rice cereal

Thinks both her sisters are VERY entertaining
