Happy Easter 2014!!...

Our Easter traditions start off every year by planting our jelly beans.  Last year we planted our jelly beans in the front yard.  Lollipops bloomed but they were very sticky...thanks Houston Humidity.  We decided this year to plant them in mini buckets!!

Colored eggs....

And lastly, EASTER DAY!  The Easter Bunny always leaves a yummy breakfast and starts our Easter basket hunt first thing in the morning.  The girls found that pinwheels "bloomed" from their jelly beans.  And after munching, they opened their first egg clue. The HUNT BEGINS!

To finish off the day, Dad hide more eggs in the backyard to hunt.  Then we enjoyed food, friends and confetti eggs at The Flores house.

Happy Easter everyone!  Love.

Potty Training In Session...

Yup, our little Miss Charlie has decided she is ready to use the potty!  Its been so nice outside this weekend I've let her run naked out back.

So far, its a work in progress.  I've decided there definitely needs to be a better incentive to using the actual potty after we poo-ed on the back porch.  Like I said...work in progress.

Keep trying Charlie Annie, we'll laugh at this post later!!!

Mexico!!!...

Unbelieve but yes, I left the kids to travel to Mexico with the Hubs.  This will mark our first ever vacation away from the kids for several days.  Our Moms came in to take on our wild women, and I'm not sure the kids even missed us!

Mike won a trip to the Playa Del Carmen through work, for being awesome.  We lounged at the  Banyan Tree Mayakoba Hotel and it was absolutely AMAZING.  This place is the ultimate relax spot and boy did we enjoy!  Didn't take many pictures but the ocean here was SO BLUE!  Beautiful.

Thanks Hubby for this amazing getaway.  I couln't have imagined being anywhere else.

When You're Tired....

You sleep.

Enjoy!

ICK!!!....

Okay...I think everyone who knows me, knows I am absolutely TERRIFIED of spiders. To even see these pictures gives me anxiety!  Geez....

Thanks to Sophie's science teacher, Ms. Jennifer, for sharing her "pet" with the class.  I can say Sophie will be bragging about this for days!

Matagroda Weekend...

Sometimes we just need a little beach sand in our toes.  Our newest getaway is Matagorda Bay.  Easy access, short drive and the girls LOVE just being able to play in the sand.  Much needed relaxing.

We fished, flew the kite and as a bonus...Daddy caught a crab! Definitely the highlight of Sammy's vaca.

Trying out our fishing poles...

Flying the kite...

Dad with the crab...

Have yourself a realxing day! Love.

Frozen Release Party...

Oh dear.  Yes, I think Mike was most excited for this day...the day Frozen comes out on DVD.  The day we learn every single word, song and action to the Frozen movie.  Pure joy.

The girls, needless to say, totally enjoyed every moment of our Frozen Release Party.  We got comfy in our pjams, first and foremost.  Then brought on the snacks of powdered sugar donuts, blue jello and white cheddar cheese puffs.  The girls brought out all their Frozen dolls and we, indeed, watched FROZEN!!

Most memorable night.
