Too HOT!

You know it's bad when your husband would rather sleep in the girls' room than in your own because the AC is way better in there.  Yeah, we had some record-breaking temperatures recently and it was too much for Brad to handle.

 Two vagabonds stealing Lexi's bed.

I'd say, yes, three IS a crowd...especially in a crib when one is a full-blown adult male. 

The girls loved their intruder, though!

Prom 2014

Not many people can say they got to go to Prom with their husband, but I get to....over and over and over again!  I LOVE it!  There's no one I'd rather go with!

 We've been off the circuit for a few years, but I decided this year that we need to get back to going - it's a great free date night and an excuse to get all dressed up.  Plus, it's always fun to see my students looking (and for the most part) acting their best.

My mom was nice enough to watch the girls for us. so we enjoyed a nice dinner and then a night out on the town.  It was a GREAT date night and brought back lots of fond memories of our own Prom nights.  Such fun!

(Again, Lexi is off running around somewhere and refused to be in the picture....that girl!!!)

Mommy & Me Crafts

When I went to Libby's school for Mommy and Me day, we got to paint a little tile and do some other art projects.  They glazed the tile and gave it back a few days later, so here we are showing off our artwork. 

P.S.  We finally got new accent chairs to replace the old hand-me-downs we've had for almost 7 years (YIKES!) and I love them!  It's so nice to have some color in our lives!

Swimming Lessons Graduate

After two weeks of swimming lessons, Libby is an official graduate!  She was awesome!  She absolutely loved the whole experience and wants to swim, swim, swim all the time now - hooray!

 Look how thrilled she is to be jumping in!  I love that little eager-beaver grin that never gets wiped off her face!

Posing with her teacher, Miss Barb.

 Showing off her floating, 

 swimming,

 jumping,

and diving!

 Yep, I'd say that's the look of pure success!  She took the class with two of her best buddies and they all did great.  Way to go, Libby!

Mother's Day

After a beautiful walk on the beach in the morning, we had a nice day a church, snapped a quick family picture, and then headed to the Stewarts' for dinner where my nieces made dinner for all of us moms.  What a great treat!

 This is what being a mom is all about!  I am the luckiest person alive!

Lake Elsinore

Brad has been wanting to take the boat out for its first trip of the season for awhile now, but thing just keep popping up to deter us.  So, we finally made it happen this weekend and we were so glad we did - it was awesome!  It was just our little family and we had a wonderful time.

 The life-vest sisters!

 I've always been a firm believer that even just a few minutes on a boat can put anyone to sleep - here's the proof!

 The girls had lots of fun playing in the sand.

 Sand-angel!

 After we let them play to their hearts' content, it was our turn!  We weren't sure if the girls qualified as official "flag-girls", but we gave them each a flag and called it good.  They were excellent little helpers and kept both of us very safe! ;)

 I got to wakeboard and ski and Brad wakeboarded.  I forgot just how much I love it - soooo fun!

Heading back to the dock after a fun-filled day.  Can't wait to go again soon!

Mommy and Me Day

Last Thursday was "Mommy and Me" day at Libby's preschool.  I was so excited to take time off of work and go spend the morning with my little angel in her class.

 Libby and I working on our craft.

 Showing me some of her number tiles she likes to play with.

Then, the took all of us mothers into the social hall and served lemonade with cake and fruit.  What a fun morning to spend with my little school-loving cutie!

(One main thing I learned from the whole experience - we've got ourselves a talker!  Yep, Libby liked to have a comment for everything the teacher said - all on-topic and cute, but she definitely likes to be heard.  Hmmmm...I wonder where she gets that from! ;)
