Blog catch up

 

Addison's preschool class asked me to come talk about veterinary medicine.  All the kids wore surgery caps and masks and got an opportunity to wear a surgery gown.  They did surgery on Mr. Quakers, the duck, who ate a couple inanimate objects.  I think they all had a good time and it was really neat to see how proud Addison was of her mommy.

 I have been really busy and have not been keeping up with blog.......I know.  So now you I am adding a bunch of random pictures that have been taken over the past couple months.  Addison and Emery are the best of friends and have been so much fun.  They love playing in the bath.  Emery tries to go inside Addison's preschool class and gets so disappointed when she can't stay.  The most recent joys have been art projects.  Emery being the most common thing colored, stamped, or painted.

 Such a happy girl

Sweet Emery asking me why I'm taking pictures instead of getting her dressed.  This girls face can say a thousand words

Emery LOVES art projects

Bath time cuties

Emerys first swim lesson

 Emery quickly learned that carb loading prior to swimming is great fun!

 Our girls

 Emery and her daddy participated in multiple swim lessons.  The first week it was very cold, but Emery seemed to progress more quickly and enjoy her lessons more once the water warmed up.

 Going in

Always with a tight grip

 Addison enjoyed playing at the park during Emmy's swim lessons.  That was until Ms. Carrie invited Addison to join in on the lessons.

Fun times at the park

Our trip to the Fort Worth Zoo

Shriners Circus

Addison, Sarah, and Summer got their faces painted at the circus.  Mama got everyone front row tickets to the Shriner Circus thanks to her volunteer work and contributions.  The show was great and everyone had a great time. 

Addison riding the elephant named Tiny

A picture of Tiny.  I was on the elephant with Addison, Sarah, and Summer and haven't taken a picture from Mom's camera yet.  When I get a copy, I will attach it to the blog.

Emery watching Addison ride the ponies.  She was very interested in watching, not so interested in riding.

Addison had a blast riding the ponies at the Shriner Circus

Houston Museum of Natural Science

 Little Cuties

Rusty and Andy wanted to take Papou to the Houston Museum of Natural Science just like the good ole days.  Andy was fashionably late and didn't make it for the picture.  The Museum was really nice and everyone had a good time

 

 The girls had a great time this past weekend

Papou and the girls

Yia Yia did not want Emmy to travel with a cookie so she traded her these cups.  Emmy loved the cups and thought it was hilarious to put them on her feet

Pretty purple Geode

Papou teaching the girls about Dinosaurs

Emery had fun at the Museum, but I think she liked playing with the globe the best

Dinosaur Valley Park

Dinosaur Valley Park was absolutely beautiful.  The dinosaur tracks were comical, but the scenery and hiking was amazing.  The girls had a great time running and playing in the water.   

Ryan, Gma, and the girls

 

 Emery was hard to get out of the water
