Mommy and Laela Day!

Today Laela and I have been enjoying ourselves! We went out for breakfast and just been shopping all morning. First, we needed to spend her birthday money from Granna and Gramps! It has been burning a hole in her pocket for two days, so off we went. First store and she found these... Perfect! A new swimsuit and dress! She had $1.40 left over, so we went to the mall and found a small hand sanitizer to replace her old one and a lollipop! No more monies left, but she did find a cute hat. I refused to buy it since it was $25, but it was really cute on her! So glad we got to spend some time together today! Now off for a nap. :)

Random Pictures of DHILLON...

On Memorial Day, a friend (Kelly) and I went to the Rangers game. We went because our friend, Shonda...the music teacher at our school, got to perform! We were so excited and want to be there to cheer her on. She started out the game playing the Star Spangled Banner with her Air Force quintet. Then she sang God Bless America in the middle of the 7th. WOW! Shonda was phenomenal and we are so proud of her!!

Muffins with Mom & Donuts with Dad

At Laela and Dhillon's school, we got to enjoy two wonderful events over the last month...Muffins with Mom & Donuts with Dad!!! For Mother's Day, I was able to take Laela and Dhillon to school and my team covered my class for a few minutes. Laela and I dropped Dhillon off in his classroom and then enjoyed muffins and juice together. It was a blast talking with her and sitting in the "BIG kids" classroom. Being a mom is tough sometimes, but mornings like this make up for it! Muffins with Mom totally started out my Mother's Day weekend on the right foot! Then, this past Friday, Ro got to enjoy Donuts with Dad. Kinda the same routine. Ro dropped Dhillon off in his class and then him and Laela got to enjoy some time together. It was funny because he sent me these two pictures. Laela was so concerned that they would not have her "usual" order...a sprinkle donut and half dozen donut holes. Well...they started off Ro's Father's Day weekend with a bang and even had Laela exact order! :) I LOVE how she eats her sprinkle donut!

Dhillon's first zoo visit...

In May, we went to the zoo! It was Dhillon's first visit and he loved everything! He was one handsome, happy, little guy in his hat! These fish were awesome! This tank was full and Laela was able to feed them. Well, once the fish splashed her as they all dove for the food she was tossing in. WOW! She gave it to 'em. She did not like that! :) We have been to the zoo several times, but never taken the time to go into the trader store. Interesting creatures in there!

Soccer!!!

Miss Laela Grace started soccer back in May. At the first game, I just thought what in the world have I gotten myself into? She cried and cried and cried and then CRIED some more. I was flaming. I couldn't believe the way she was acting. Then, we got in a routine with Ro taking her to practice on Wednesdays and then he was in charge at the games. It was my job to watch and cheer her on. Now, 6 weeks later, she is still a little hesitant, but she does well! Laela gets LOVES Coach Neal and he is GREAT with her. He knows that she is a little worried about getting in the way and "taking away" the ball, but he is the first to high-five her when she does anything well! LOVE IT!

Fun with Friends...

One evening we met the Aday's for a fun time at Watter's Creek. They had some face painting, bird-feeder creations, and live music. Then off to the famous fountains! We all had a great time! :)

Spring School Parade and Easter 2012

Haven't bloggged in awhile, so I thought I would start with a few pictures from Easter. To start out the weekend, Laela had an egg hunt at school. How cute is the parade line? Laela's class was a group of hatching chicks!!! Then we went back later that night to the school spring carnival. Laela LOVED the dunk tank (every teacher knew Laela and she loved throwing the ball and dunking them!) Also, piglet, tattoo, and games were a big hit too! Then off to Granna and Gramps' house for Easter with the family. We had an awesome day!
