Shepherd and Krisha visit the Lou!

Our sweet friends Shepherd Grace and Krisha came for a visit last week and we had so much fun!! We had a good laugh right from the start when Krisha arrived wearing almost the same outfit as mom :) :) Great friends think alike :) :) We enjoyed our visit with the girls playing in the yard, enjoying the sunny amazing spring weather. Apparently it was warmer in St. Louis than Dallas last week! We also had a fun visit to the zoo, a delicious lunch at Companion Bakery and pushed our girls to the limit with a trip to the mall during what should have been nap time! The things you sacrifice for fashion....ha ha! Thanks again Krisha & Shepherd for a wonderful visit!! We miss you already!!

Go Gymnastics Girl!!

Emma Grace has been wanting to learn a cartwheel for some time and mom & dad have tried to teach her with failed attempts. So, we decided it was time for our big girl to start her first gymnastics class! Emma has been so excited and was a natural, very good at following instructions and so happy to be in a class with her peers! Way to go Emma! We're so proud of you!

Goodbye Crib....Hello BIG GIRL BED!!!

So I must say I'm a little sad that Ava is no longer in a crib. It made me teary singing to her and putting her to sleep for the last night in her crib. Maybe it's that we might not have any more children or maybe it's the fact that our baby is no longer a baby :(

Ava is officially potty trained and was a rock star training in one week (beating her sister's record of 2) and has officially been climbing out of her crib for 2 months. We had even put a step up to her crib so she would have something to climb out on. So......it was time.....just a little sad for momma.

Luckily, all that sadness went away seeing Ava's face light up when her BIG GIRL bed was put together and hearing her say over and over "I LOVE MY BED"....precious!

Happy Easter

We enjoyed Easter in Oklahoma this year. Daddy had to work so we headed to OK for a LeForce family reunion and the Pawnee Bill's Easter Egg hunt. We had a blast playing with our cousins and hunting eggs. Thanks everyone for a wonderful weekend. Thanks for working so hard to take care of us Daddy. We Love You!!!

St. Louis Zoo!

We enjoyed a beautiful spring day at the St. Louis Zoo. What better way to spend a day off with dad! It was perfect! The lions (Emma's favorite) were out, Ava loved the penguins, mom enjoyed the giraffe and dad was even able to see his favorite.....sea lions! Ooh yeah, we went on the merry go round and were even able to make our own first aid kits at the St. Louis Children's hospital tent!! Emma kept saying "this is the BEST"!
