Allison loves her school and she's been doing perfectly at potty training there! We're about to switch her to panties full time (fingers crossed!). We just love her daycare (after a few hiccups here and there) and her new teacher is fantastic. We are sad that Allie will have to move up to the Preschool 3 class in August, but time marches on. We regularly get updates of Allie and her partner in crime, Caroline. Here are just a few snaps....
Friday night our dear friend JC invited us to sit in his box at the rodeo. The girls always enjoy the rodeo and they were both very excited to get to go again. Allison kept saying, "I want to see horsies" after we told her. This year we got to see the bull riding and they even brought back bull fighting, which was an exciting addition to the evening. Unfortunately, Allison started feeling really sick as the event started so she ended up sleeping through a lot of it. Mommy kept her head covered to avoid being hit with dirt. Abigail, on the other hand, enjoyed watching all the animals and bounced from seat to seat in the box. Mr. JC is always so kind to invite the girls to enjoy it! He's a very special person.
Abby's school was closed this week before the summer program kicks off next week. Daddy decided it would be a good week to do their "Daddy/Abby" trip. They ended up staying the week at the lakehouse where they swam, watched movies and went on countless "field trips" including the zoo and aquarium. Abigail discovered her favorite pizza place down on McKinney in downtown Dallas. The girl's got taste. They had such a fun time together and we know that she will always have special memories of her trips with daddy.
This week summer kicked off with a fun weekend at the lake house. Abby's last day of kindergarten was Thursday and school let out at 1:00. Mommy was a hot mess when Abby got dropped off that last morning of school. There were hugs from other moms as mommy left the building that morning....not pretty when your oldest closes yet another chapter, especially when each chapter seems shorter and shorter! 
This weekend was Christ the King School Carnival. Mommy has been working on the silent auction committee for the last 5 months and was very excited to see the finish line in sight! We picked up the girls after school on Friday and headed straight to the carnival. We grabbed some food first and sat down to watch the band, which Allie loved...of course. After dinner Allie went with Daddy and BB to the young kids area and Abby and Mommy went to the big kids area. Abby ran into her BFF (Ava) and her mother, so mommy and Abby spent the rest of the carnival with them. On Saturday, BB took Abigail back to the carnival for more fun, they stayed until it was time for Dad & Mom to go in for the late shift at the silent auction. What a wild night that was! We really wanted a few items, but the auction was fierce! We ended up with a weaving set that Abby really wanted and a glass blown vase. Mom and Abby went to the school on Sunday morning to finish everything up on the silent auction. Luckily there were kids to play with for Abigail. Daddy and Allie had a fun morning at home....AND Allie is doing really well with the potty! We only had two accidents all weekend long, which is just awesome!!! We spent the afternoon outside playing with bubbles and Abigail started a scarf on her new weaving set. All in all it was a fun, but exhausting weekend!
Mother's Day was a wonderful weekend of relaxation and fun for mommy. Daddy and the girls always make it a special time for mommy and this year was no exception. Daddy insisted that mommy enjoy some relaxation by sleeping in and he made breakfast for the family while mommy did not lift a finger! In the afternoon we took Abby with us to her school so we could work on setting up for the annual carnival. Allison stayed with BB for the afternoon and those two had a big time. On Sunday night Mommy & Abby took silly snap chat pictures. It was such a wonderful weekend! Daddy & mommy are blessed to have such awesome mothers in their lives. We have strong, loving, AMAZING women as mothers & mother figures. They have made our lives great, we know their influence in our lives has made us the people we are and we hope to continue their legacy in caring for their grandkiddos.
