Happy 65th, Mimi!

We celebrated Mimi's 65th birthday this past weekend and it was so much fun!  Mimi wanted to take all of her girls to the Houston Children's Museum.  It was a great place and the girls loved it!  Miss Lilliann was, as always, such a trooper.  We are so grateful for sweet Mimi.  She enjoys the quality time, the special moments, and the fun experiences with her grandkids.  Mimi is all about making memories.  She is so sweet and fun loving.  The girls are all so lucky to have Mimi in their lives and we look forward to celebrating many more birthday celebrations for Mimi.

Happy 65th Birthday to our special Mimi!!!
Yay!  We are finally at the museum and we decided to mock the mannequin.  :-)

Uh oh...Look who's driving! 
Harper the scientist - She had so much fun in this room that it took a million photos just to capture one moment of her still enough for no blurriness.

Group shot at the end of the museum trip.  It was a lot of fun!
 Mommy got a new camera.  I played with it while I was in Houston and got some really sweet pictures of my sweet, sweet girls.

This kid can't get enough of the wagon.  I really think she'd sleep there if she could which is why I loved capturing this moment of Harper resting against the wagon handle.
SWING!
Mommy snuggles...
My beautiful girl loves to pick flowers in Mimi's beautiful yard.
And, she LOVES to swing!
I love this picture because Claire had no idea I was taking a picture while she was picking flowers.  I was a solid 20 feet away from her.  She loves nature; she loves to stop and  smell the flowers.
Sweet, beautiful girl picking a flower for her Mimi...

Whirlwind February - is it already March?

Birthday parties, kickball practices, bike riding adventures, a trip to Houston, Claire's 1st lost tooth, the Hill Book Fair, and more...  February was BUSY!  We blinked and it is over.  Here is a sneak peek at our February:

Audrey's dance party gang - Harper was hysterical at this party.  She was totally in her element.

A Blueberry Muffin sighting at Zilker Park riding her bike, or a Harper who insisted upon wearing her Blueberry Muffin costume - whichever you prefer!
Claire lost her first tooth.  The tooth fairy came and she got $5 for her first tooth!
Hill's Book Fair was a blast for Claire. She loves to read and loves that she is now able to read them on her own.   The school library was transformed to a Libratory!!  Dax and Claire are really good friends.  His Mommy sent me this picture on the day of the book fair and I love it!  Claire came home with 3 chapter books that she has devoured.  She's growing up!
Harper really wants to dress herself these days.  She does a pretty good job most days!  Look at our pretty girl growing up...
This is the kickball pep rally.  Claire's precious coaches made them cheetah masks!  Go PURPLE CHEETAHS! In case you can't tell which cheetah is ours, she is in stripes on the left.  :-)
