Daddy & Abby Time

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.

Memorial Day

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! 

We headed down to the lake house right after school was out and Abigail and Allison were excited to get down there early for some swimming time with Daddy! Unfortunately, the weather was not very cooperative to use the boat, so we only got to go out on the boat on Saturday. It was so windy that we all got soaked from the spray of the water! Abby rode the wave runner with Chia, Abby said it was just too much water!

CtK Carnival Weekend

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 2017

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.

First Tooth!

Abigail lost her first tooth last night! We knew that it was loose, but thought maybe there'd be a few more days left. We were shocked when she woke up and shouted that she lost her tooth! We haven't found it yet, but we assured her that the tooth fairy will come for a visit no matter what!

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!

Much Love,
