GO TIGERS!!!

Megan was on the Rangers last season, but this season we wanted to be on the Tigers because we had a few friends signing up and wanted a better chance to be on the same team as them. On the Rangers Megan was the only girl on the team... on the Tigers there are 4 little girls! It's a great team... we are really enjoying being a part of the Tigers!

Warming up before the first game of the season!

This is her first season for coach-pitch! They each get 3 tries hitting the coach-pitched ball and if they don't get a bat on either of those they get to hit off the tee.

Japanese Garden

We spent a lovely afternoon during spring break in the Japanese Garden at Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. We should visit again when everything is in bloom... it's hard to believe it could be even more beautiful!

Feeding the fishies... the BIG fishies! :)

Fort Worth Water Gardens

Some how I grew up in Fort Worth and had never been to the Ft. Worth Water Gardens... so we fixed that over spring break! :) The girls and I spent a day in Fort. Worth with my sister, Aunt Sissy. First stop, Water Gardens, then lunch at Pappa's Burgers and a stroll thru the Botanical Gardens. We all had a great day!

SNOW!!!!

Record snow fall in Texas!!! It was awesome!!! We got about a foot of snow in McKinney and had a blast with it!

Megan and I built a snowman while Emily was playing at a friend's house.

Normally, when it snows we are confined to the house because the streets are covered in ice. This time we had fabulous snowfall but the temps were not below freezing and there was no ice on the streets! So I took a little cruise around a snow covered McKinney!

Stonebridge Golf Course

Brrrrrr!!!

Valentine Tea

Emily's class hosted a Valentine Tea and they were able to invite one special person to attend... and luckily I was that person! :)

They decorated the room so sweet... made the table clothes and chair covers... they even made us a little clay (glazed and fired) tea cup! The cup is precious but sadly I didn't get mine in the picture.
Each of the kids wrote a letter to their special person and got to read it aloud... that's when we all realized why they chose a tissue box for the centerpiece of each table! hehe

After they read us the letters, they presented us with a lovely "rose". :)

Here is the letter that Emily wrote/read to me. She is such a sweet little girl... I'm very proud of her and I feel so lucky to have her as my daughter!

Fort Worth Zoo

The girls had MLK Day off at school and even though we've had a super cold winder the weather on this day happened to be amazing! We took advantage of it and went to the Ft. Worth Zoo with Aunt Sissy. We couldn't have asked for a better day... the weather was perfect, all the animals were out and there was surprisingly very little crowd!

Emily is a super sweet Big Sis! Megan was getting a little tired of walking so Emily helped her out! :)

Megan always looks forward to seeing the flamingos... but they are normally our last stop. She was one happy girl when we finally made our way to them.

Happy 2010!!!

We enjoyed the 2 week break we had from school! The girls spent the last 4 days of the break in Fort Worth with grandparents... including New Year's Eve. Wayne and I still went to the family gathering at my cousins, Jennifer and her husband Jimmy's house. They had a bounce house still up from the party they had with friends the night before. Needless to say the kids had a blast on it... and a few of us adults did as well! ;)
