My Daughters

I still find it so weird to say "My kids" or "My daughters." I have two kids now. It's crazy. I love them so very much. They're so cute and sweet, I just want to squeeze them all the time!

Emma loves her new car. Katie and I were pushing her around the house and she was so happy.

Zoey's 2nd Birthday!

We had a busy 3 day weekend this week with Kelly's birthday and Christy's birthday, and now Zoey's all in a row! I think it was too much for Katie, because she was feeling sick and we had to go home early today. We were able to stay for about an hour to say hello and let Emma play for a little bit though.

Emma liked Zoey's new water table.

Happy Birthday Zoey! May you have the best year being 2 =)

Christy's Birthday Dinner

Bobby and Christy invited us over to celebrate Christy's birthday. They made pizza for everyone on French Bread loaves and served birthday cake. It was a nice night with everyone.

Hopefully she liked her presents! =)

SOD!

I received a check from the Palmdale School District, some sort of retirement fund or savings plan they had set up for me. Since I haven't worked there in so long, they sent me papers to fill out to decide if I wanted a check or they'll just keep the money. So of course I wanted it :p David and I thought this would be the best time to get sod for the backyard, while we have the extra money we weren't counting on. His brother Michael came over to help him. I bought Wing Stop for everyone who showed up to watch them work...lol. And for the workers, too :p

 David had put the fence up a week or two beforehand. Looks cute.

In the end, we didn't have enough, we estimated wrong. We'll need to buy more soon. But more than half is covered in grass now, and I'm very excited. Now my plan is to buy the kids a playground for Christmas. A nice big one. Katie wants Monkey Bars and Emma would love a swing. I've been wanting grass in the backyard since we bought the house! =)

Kelly's Birthday!

Did a small family get together with the Wonsers for Kelly's birthday. The kids had fun playing together and the adults had a nice time chatting. Her last birthday before she's a Mom! Happy Birthday, Kelly! Hope you had a nice night!

Jog-A-Thon 2014

Desert Christian's annual Jog-A-Thon is here! It is Katie's 3rd one. She gets a little better each year. This year, no tears! Woohoo! Haha. She did a great job. My Mom cheats every year and marks off more laps than she really does, but, hey, it keeps the smile on the face ;)

The kids were given popsicles after, and Emma was desperate for a lick.

I'm glad I was able to be there to support Katie at her school event today. I love being there for her. She did great! And after, I was able to take her out of class early =) (Most kids left after). Hopefully I'll be back next year!

Hannah's 7th Birthday

We had a nice small family party for Hannah at Gee Gee's house.

She made yummy chocolate covered strawberries for us.

The kids always have a good time together, I'm grateful we're able to spend birthdays and some holidays together. I hope Hannah had a fun day with us =)

Easter 2014

This Easter we celebrated at my Mom's house. She filled the small pool for the kids to play in and made yummy food. Lauryn and Becky brought dessert over. The kids kept picking the peeps and candy off the top, haha. It was a nice holiday.

 Hannah found the golden egg, with $2 inside. Woohoo!

Nice day, I'm glad everyone was able to make it and spend the day together. I'm glad Katie had her cousins to spend time with and play with.

Easter Morning

Katie woke up super early to see her Easter basket. She gets so excited. She came in the room to tell me the Bunny came, and as soon as Emma heard her voice, she was up too :p

I think the huge bubbles were the best gift =)

Katie had a lot of fun playing with her bubbles this morning. Super cool.

Easter Baskets 2014

The Easter Bunny brought surprises for the girls. Emma got an Easter book and some Cheerios, haha. And Katie got a nice basket =) Hope they like it!

Underwood Family Farms- Easter Festival

My Aunt Mary found a place to take the kids for Easter fun. It was pretty cool!

Emma enjoys the swings a lot.

I found this cute shirt for Mary, she got lots of compliments on it =)

It was a little pricey, but fun. $12 to get in, and then each ticket is a dollar. Some rides cost more than 1 ticket, too :p So glad Emma is still free :p

Egg Hunt. The eggs were filled with little toys =)

Emma just liked the eggs lol.

Before we left we took the kids to pick strawberries. Mary and the kids each got a bag to fill.

It was such a fun day, I am going to come back for the Fall Festival I think. It was a long day, but tons of fun. I'm glad I put sunblock on the kids. Katie loves her cousin Sam a lot. Emma enjoys being outdoors. It was nice. I'm glad Mary invited us!
