Growing Up

While in New Mexico, I think Lilly watched all her other cousins walking and running and having fun and decided it was time she did too. We got back from New Mexico and she just took off walking!

The girls and Moms

Reading a story before bedtime.

Playing at the park. Again Lilly loved the sand!

Thank you Ms. Margie for doing such a great job cutting our hair!

Lilly is 16 months old and is finally getting her first haircut. She did a great job!

Fun in New Mexico

Playing with cousin Jackson at Gigi and Papa's cabin.

I cannot believe that my little prissy Isabella was playing in dirt! I just had to take a picture! She loved digging for treasures!

Fun with cousins at the second annual family reunion! Bella loved playing with her cousins in jumper and water slide. The adults enjoyed watching, talking, and even playing too!

Lilly Ruth asleep in her Gigi's arms. The best place to be!

All the cousins got still enough to get a picture. I am so thankful that Isabella can hold her own with all these boys! Can't wait to see if Lilly is the same way!

Bryson and Bella stopped digging to pose for a picture.

Before heading to Houston, we went with Brian to Lafayette. He was visiting churches and we went to the zoo. When he finished, we headed to the Tabasco plant. Isabella loved learning about Tabasco as did Brian and I. Lilly took everything in. We hope to go back soon!

Fun at Houston

Really neat waterfall near the galleria in Houston.

The girls with a family friend we saw while in Houston. Shauna is a childhood friend of my mom's, I have known her since I was little. I babysat her kids when they were younger. She is family:).

Fun at the Houston Zoo.

The Beach

Bella and the beach

Ferry to Galveston

The girls enjoyed covering Brian up with sand.

Lilly loved eating the sand and Bella enjoy playing in it. Both girls were a little apprehensive of the water, but went out in it. We spent a day at the beach since Brian had to be in Houston and it was just enough for our two!

Bella's Zoo Recital and graduation

Isabella turns Four

Playing on the swamp slide

Bella's birthday theme was Princess and the Frog. We had a frog cake, a swamp slide, swamp punch, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and a bayou pond. The party was a lot of fun for everyone!

Bella with Erika. We are so glad that Erika, Aunt Suzie, Mimi, and Zanna were able to come for her birthday!

Bella and her Mimi

Is it time to blow out the candle yet? I am ready to eat this yummy cake!

Playing in the bayou pond!

Opening all the wonderful presents!

Busy, busy May

Gigi and Papa came for a visit to our new house and to see the girls! They loved our house and loved playing with the girls! Here's Lilly with her Papa at the zoo waiting for Bella's dance recital.

Isabella and her Gigi after Bella's dance recital at the zoo!

Cotton candy, it's my favorite treat! Cotton Candy is what I like to eat!

The first weekend in May, we celebrated Week of the Young Child at the park where different activities were set up. While there, Bella ran into her best friend, Cassidy. They both got their faces painted and had a blast!

Isabella outside the event center where she got to see Disney Princesses's on Ice. She loved it!

Bella Grace and Ms. Shey

May would not be complete without graduation for Isabella. Her daycare had a graduation for those four year olds that will be going to preschool next year. Here she is with two of her teachers! Bella did a great job singing during the graduation ceremony and holding the flag!
