Allie had a birthday party at Made of Sugar and Spice today. She loved getting made up! Pretty fancy hair, make up, nails painted and of course a princess gown and crown. What could be better??!!

We went to the Purple Cow for lunch today before taking a trip to Hobby Lobby with five adult women and five kiddos under the age of five. You can only imagine how that went... Anyway the pic is of the Allie and Carson eyeing the splash pad. Mean mommies wouldn't let them get wet!!

As part of teacher appreciation week, I made a notecard set and put it together in a little folder. Turned out pretty cute!

This is it opened up. Notecards are on the left and yellow envelopes with the matching "D" on the right.

This is the folder all folded up.

I went with Lance's class to the Collin County Adventure Camp today for some team building and nature walks. We had lots of fun. He has a great group of kids in his class and the best teacher EVER!!! We will miss them next year at our new school.

May 3

We noticed that they have planted a bunch of wildflowers in the field behind the house. I took Allie out with my new bench and got some pics.

May 1

We took team pics at the soccer game. This is Lance's and the team with Coach Jeff and Coach Nelson. Not a great season win-wise, but they had fun!

Lance had his friend party that evening. The party was at Main Event and the kids had a blast bowling...

and even got to play a round of laser tag thanks to Mr. Neil!

The Birthday

Lance had his 8th birthday and we celebrated as a family the day before and the day of. We had ordered cupcakes for the soccer game, but it was rained out, so we had a whole cupcake cake for just us. He got lots of great gifts and even a couple of cards from his grandparents with some cash for him to get even more!
