Twins Meet Their Teachers!

We had Meet the Teacher at the twins' school today.
Boy were they happy to see their friend Cadence!
Cadence is so sweet to bend for our little Leprechauns.
Mrs. Brenda, Annabella (as she told her teachers she did not want to be called "Bella" - that's Annabella to you - which frankly is a huge improvement from "King Kong" which she had been referring to herself as!), ZaZa, Mrs. Denise. These sweet teachers were Cason's teachers when we brought the twins home. So special to us!

That's So Raven!

Took the kids to see Raven-Symone this afternoon at the Walmarts (joke). It was INSANITY. Cason was impressed with her and thought she was pretty. That's all that counts, right?Surely you're not talking to *ME*Mr. Walmarts?!?
OMG...you folks wrapped around the building just missed the boat!

Pearly Whites!

Twins had their cleanings today. Here is Bella with Dr. Shelly and the asst. (who just found out yesterday she is pg - due 4/28!!)
Twins at the Twister Board
Twins draw while I check out. Notice that ZaZa is writing her name!

Bella drew "twins" - Can you find them??

First Grade FOX!

My baby boy went to first grade today. Here is the annual first day of school photo:
Him dancing with his new ruler from Gracie.
Cason with all his first day "supplies." (Please note the "cute" Kleenex which Kent said where 2x as much and I told him I didn't care cuz they were three times as cute!)
My sweet angel babies will be next.
We miss you brother.

Happy Longhorn Camper!

Gracie's Daddy had a last minute business meeting, and so Gracie's favorite aunt (me) went with her Momma to get her from Camp Longhorn. She was so happy to see her Momma! She really was emotional when she realized her Daddy wasn't there but we kept things fun.
Crying while reading her note from her Daddy:

Gracie and FAV (Favorite Aunt Vicki)
This was Counselor Emily's trunk which I thought was hysterical:
Good job Grayson. We're so proud of you!!!

Meet the Teacher

We had "Meet the Teacher" on Sunday. All the little girls were very happy to see Cason in their class. I couldn't get over their little giggles. I pity the first one who calls my house asking for him!Cason liked his teacher. The next day in the car Cason said, "Momma, there weren't many things to play with in that class." Hmm...I think he understands. Play time is over. He only went until 11:45 last year. This year he will go until 2:30 every day. It's like going to REAL school! I'm going to miss him so much.

Camp Longhorn Has Our Gracie!

Gracie Lou-Lou has been at camp for seven long days now. We miss her! Here she is flashing her Camp Longhorn sign (far right with the cute striped bikini on). Here are 2 of the 4 camp counselor gifts YaYa is sending:

Camp Colors are blue and orange. We're pretty sure she's a shoe-in for next year!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Cason had his first (public) performance today.
He was the prince in Snow White. He had been attending Drama Camp for the past 2 weeks. As all of you know, he felt right at home on stage and LOVED every minute of camp. Here are the twins and Cason after the show.
As soon as I figure out how to upload video I will post it. (Holly.....HELP!)

Mommy's Little Movie Stars

The twins went to Movie Star Ballet Camp today. I need a camp!

Bella told me she didn't want to do ballet because it is "boring." She managed to have fun.

West Texas Girls Hits the Big City!

Our niece, Taylor, came from Amarillo today. It's really neat to hear her perspective on Dallas!
Here is a photo she took from the car. For those of you who know how fast I drive, you will find this even more impressive!

Hello, Houston, we have reached the Mecca of Shopping and it's in the heart of Dallas.
Nothing better than a Sam Moon Trading Day!

The kids are so happy Taylor is here. Cason even gave up his room for her. You know, Mr. "I Keep My Door Shut so nothing happy goes on or heaven forbid someone like touch something of mine."

I must admit it - I love Dallas!

BelloBration!

We took the kids to the circus tonight. Bello is Cason's favorite clown, so Cason enjoyed every minute of the Bello-Bration!

Ringmaster!
