May Birthday Palooza....And other stuff




Well.....uh, I......uh, hmmm.....sorry, but I just can't seem to come up with a really valid reason for not visiting here more often.



I guess if you look at the pictures, you can see that I've been really busy, right?



I know, I know, lots of busy people blog. Some every day. Some several times a day.



I guess I'll just have to pull myself away from Facebook long enough to blog more frequently!



We really did have a busy last two months. We celebrated Easter, Donna's 50th birthday, Mother's Day (for multiple mothers!), all of the May birthdays and Jessica's 8th grade graduation. We even had a few other things thrown into the mix, like our spontaneous trip to Surfside, Alyssa's horse riding session, Jessica's 8th grade trip and 8th grade breakfast and Ethan's Kindergarten graduation.


Once again......the past two months in pictures.



Surfside Beach - Look at all that seaweed!



Alyssa - frolicking in the surf



Never too old to dye Easter Eggs!




Easter Morning


Every Day's a Partay Day!


Glenn - the grill master or smoking hot. You be the judge!


Donna - turning 50 graciously. A margarita in one hand and a cigar in the other!





Ride a horse, of course!


The May Birthday Palooza - Alyssa taking center stage

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am so far behind on writing on my blog and summer vacation is over and school has started!!!!!!! The girls and I went on vacation last week to Galveston Island and stayed at the San Louis hotel, which Jessica only just recently stopped calling it the St. Luis. Donna and Brianna met us there and stayed at the same hotel. The first day, we stopped off at the beach and built sand castles. The second day we went to Moody Gardens Palm Beach and the rest of the time we spent at the hotel pool which was just beautiful! Check out our you tube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMsLX68qNM for the "Waterfall Video". School started on Wednesday this week for half days. Papa picked the kids up from school since Nana is still in Alaska......we really miss her!! She has been gone for 2 weeks and should be back by Tuesday morning. We went to "Meet the Teachers" this week and got to see which teachers Jessica was going to have

Today was picture day at school for the girls. I took Alyssa to get her hair cut yesterday so that it would look nice for today. Jessica had hers cut a couple of weeks ago and it still looked rather good. I put foam curlers in Alyssa's hair last night and she had big fat curls in her hair this morning. I hope the pictures turn out nice. The photographer took one of both girls together and I think that one should turn out really cute. I still need to make Alyssa a follow-up appointment at the doctor for her UTI. She finished her antibiotics on Sunday so it's time to be retested. I just found out that Jessica's football game tomorrow was canceled so hopefully I can get the appointment for tomorrow after school. Jessica is due for her 3rd Guardasil shot and both are due for their flu shots. I don't think they'll be very happy about that.

As of Sunday, I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wow! I can only hope that the next 5 years go as smoothly as the first 13 did. I can also hope that I don't get paid back for Glenn's wild teenage years. From what I understand, they were doozies!! We celebrated Jessica's big 13th birthday with a family party on Sunday. We had hoped that we would have had enough warm weather to warm the pool up for swimming, but it's been on the cool side during the nights and so the pool was no where near being warm enough to swim in. Well, except for crazy Alyssa who cannon-ba lled into the pool. Jessica got Band Hero for her birthday Alyssa loves to play guitar but even more than that, she loves to sing. I think this is her "Rock Band" face. One of the other things Jessica got for her birthday was a pitching net. Last weekend, we spent Easter at my sister's house and my girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan. .......And last but not least......Meet the newest
