Happy Birthday Uncle Les!

Another special PA memory!

After school the girls and I drove up to celebrate

Uncle Les's Birthday!

(Kayla sold some Girls Scout Cookies too!)

Megan did not have "Happy Birthday" sheet music,

but was able to "compose" the song from the notes she knew.

Pretty impressive Megan!

Uncle Les and his two silly girls!
What is that mischievous smile on your face Uncle Les???

Oh, that's what it is!

How's the icing Kayla???

And Megan, what in the world are you doing?

Kayla Bear and Great Grandma!

Kayla, playing keep away from Uncle Les.

And Megan, too!

Thanks Great Grandma for the Valentine goodies!

Uncle Les's new toy!

Thanks for the memories

Uncle Les, Aunt Lynne and Great Grandma!

And thanks for the pizza and yummy cake and ice cream too!

Kayla had a date!

Kayla invited her Daddy to the Father/Daughter Dance!

The older Girl Scout Troops held a dance for the younger girls!

Kayla, receiving her corsage from Daddy!
Princess Kayla was very excited and surprised about the corsage!

(P.S. - This was a very sweet moment!

Watching Mack put the corsage on Kayla was so precious!

I think it was a special moment for the two of them as well!)

The Cowboy couple!
The Princess and her corsage!
This was really the perfect night for all of us!
Kayla had a date with Daddy - she got to be the Princess/Tomboy that she is!
Daddy got to wear Cowboy gear, jeans and a hat!
Megan got to spend the night with a friend!
And after convincing the girls that I would be okay for a few hours by myself on a Friday night, I had some Mommy shopping time! :)

Girl Scout Cookies Anyone???

Hi, my name is Kayla.

Would you like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?

It's official,

Oh, how we would love to have some

Snuffer's

to eat!

Thanks Nana and Grandpa for the cute shirts!

Wish we could have been there to eat lunch with

you guys and Grandpa and Grandma!

Miniature Golf

We played Inside Miniature Golf on Saturday at church.

Members from the church created each hole.

It was a fun way to spend a cold morning inside!

Yes, even inside I am all bundled up - It is SO COLD!

You can't see it, but this was the last hole.

It was so cool!

And I can't forget our grand finale!

There is a new Mexican food restaurant near the mall.

We tried it and it wasn't bad!

Oh, do we miss

REAL GOOD MEXICAN FOOD!

Every meal in Houston this summer will be at La Hacienda!

A visit from Great Grandma!

Grandma and I enjoyed lunch at Panera Bread.

The girls were excited when Great Grandma

was there to pick them up from school.

Grandma spend the afternoon with us.

Ate Goulash for dinner and even had Girl Scout Cookies for dessert!

Thanks for special memories Great Grandma!
We love you!
