10th Annual D.C. Lind II Bug Boil

This weekend we went to the 10th annual D.C. Lind III Memorial Bug Boil. Over the past 9 years the event has raised over $80,000 towards scholarships to UofA. The event continues to grow each year and this year was no exception. The food as usual was excellent as was the company. It is an amazing thing to see the growth that the bug boil has taken on over these years and while it's hard to believe D.C. has been gone from our lives for nearly 10 years, there's no doubt he would have been pleased to know what a great event it continues to be and the lives it touches.

Kitties & Kanines Golf Tournament

Friday was the Friends of Kitties & Kanines Golf Tournament. This was the 2nd annual tournament and it sure was a success. We had 22 teams and raised around $17k towards the low cost spay neuter clinic that Friends supports! Daddy played in the tournament, while mommy worked as a volunteer at check-in. We were so worried that the weather would not cooperate, but it held out long enough for all the teams to finish and for us to pack up! Chuck was the chairman this year and he did such an amazing job. This fundraiser is backed by some really amazing people: Ramona, Chuck and of course BB!

Little Helpers

We had to pick a few items up from the grocery store tonight. Abigail wanted to get a basket to help carry the produce in and little sis quickly wanted to help! The cuties walked around the store holding the basket together...that is until we got the milk. Then it became a bit too heavy!

Easter 2017

 

For Easter we headed down to Florida to visit Pop & Mumzie. We were so excited to spend time with them and visit our favorite Florida places. Our flight got pushed back so we didn't get in until very late on Wednesday and didn't get to their house until about midnight! The kids were too wound up to go to bed though so we all slept in the next day to recover! We headed to the aquarium, the beach and a few of our favorite restaurants while we were there. On Saturday the kids painted Easter eggs and then on Sunday the Easter Bunny brought them baskets full of goodies! We hunted eggs in the afternoon and then went to the pool for a while. It was such a fun time seeing Pop & Mumzie!

Easter Painting

This weekend we painted Easter eggs and Easter flowers. This is the first year that we actually sat down to paint Easter eggs with the girls and for some reason mommy thought it would be a good idea to get out all of the paint supplies to paint wooden flowers too! The girls were very excited to paint the Easter eggs and enjoyed putting stickers on them after they were all dyed. Allison was worn out after the Easter eggs so we put her down for a nap soon after those were finished and Mommy forgot to take pictures of the finished product! After nap time we headed outside to paint the wooden flowers. The girls had a lot of fun and both of them ended up with paint in their hair and on their arms! It was interesting washing that out!

Twirly Dresses

BB got the girls matching "twirly" dresses this week. The dresses are reversible and have the best "Twirl" when the little one spins. Abigail slept in hers and Allison kept imitating sissy when she was spinning....too cute!

Home Again, Home Again

We were back at home this weekend so we could get back into the groove of usual weekend chores and preparing for the week ahead. Mommy worked a little on Saturday so daddy took the girls for a nice lunch and play time at the park. Then on Sunday, daddy cooked the family steaks, corn and hamburgers. Abigail wanted to help daddy cook, so she got to help him prep the meat and marinade. She also helped him a little bit while he was grilling outside. Afterward, we had a nice Sunday dinner outside on the patio and then danced in the living room before bedtime.

Much Love,
