Happy Easter

On Easter morning the girls got up to see what the Easter Bunny left them. The girls were too busy "helping" Granmama and Daddy D pack the day before that we didn't have time to dye eggs so we didn't do our normal egg hunt... but that's okay... it will be still be fun to dye eggs in a couple weeks! hehe
The girls and I went to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens that morning with my mom and sister, and later that afternoon we went to Meme's house to have lunch and an egg hung with the rest of the family. We were somehow able to get all the kiddos together with Meme and get this pic!



Flutterbies!

Easter morning the girls and I, along with my mom and sister, made a trip to Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens to visit the Butterfly exhibit.
The girls and Grandma It was really hot and humid, but also fun to walk around while butterflies were flying all over the place. With so many butterflies whizzing by our heads, it did take the girls a couple minutes to get used to it and not jump or be afraid of them.

Emily's 3rd Grade Music Program

The 3rd Graders performed a really cute music program based on the book The Quiltmakers Gift! All of the students got a chance to play an instrument at least once during the program. While groups of the kids rotated playing instruments, the other kids sang and performed the play. They did a great job! I didn't get too many picture because Wayne was out of town and I spent most of my time with the video camera so he could watch the show when he returned home.



Emily and Cate Granmama and Daddy D came out to see the show as well!

After the program, Emily chose where we went out to dinner to celebrate the special night.

We went to Pei Wei, but of course had to make a stop before hand at McDonald's for Megan! haha

Ice Skating!

The girls and I are all taking ice skating lessons! We are all having a blast and look forward to our Monday night lessons!



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!
