Blue Wave Swim Team Here We Come!

Alivia has officially signed up for the Balcones Woods Blue Wave Swim Team. She is super excited. Along with the sign up come 2 weeks of swim lessons. We are taking it all in stride and will see how she does. They don't put any pressure on the kids and after 2 weeks, they will let you know whether they are on the swim team or will continue with further lessons.

Alivia got a cool new swimsuit and warm up jacket - I think if she never set foot in the pool, the attire alone would be exciting enough!

Covenant Preschool Fundraiser

So we got our country duds on and met at the Cedar Door for a fundraiser for the preschool. The best part of the evening was the silent auction. I bid on the parking space close to the drop off and WON!!! I won't even begin to mention how much I paid for it! I just kept telling Matt, "Don't forget I am going to be taking three kids there four days a week next year!!!" He told me it was my "push present" and Mother's Day present all rolled into one. :-) We even took some funny shots of me near the reserved spot when we went to pick the kids up.

PS. I am ~37 weeks pregnant in these shots!

Visit with Alison

One of my best friends, Alison was visiting her parents in San Antonio and came up with her sister to visit Mandy and me. It was so great getting to see her. I am so sad we won't see her this summer at our annual lake weekend. . .

Alivia's First Dentist Appointment

Much to most of my friends' dismay, I waited until Alivia was well past 4 years old to take her to the dentist. She did GREAT and let them scrape on her teeth and run all sorts of scrubbers on them. Dr. Watts was really nice and his staff was great. Dr. Watts said Alivia has a crossbite which can be seen when kids have allergies and breathe through their mouths, so we may have to see and ENT in the future. He also said braces were definitely in our future. . .

Cutest photo of Will and Alivia

Nanny Alva took this shot of the kids the other day. I just love the expressions on their faces.

Spring Day at the Ranch

My parents and I took the kids to Bertram for the day. We had an absolute blast. The weather could not have been more beautiful and the kids just love exploring out there. We walked down to the river, took several spins in the paddle boat, and had a hot dog lunch. Grandpa fished and caught several bass. Alivia was fascinated with touching and releasing the fish. Will was content to just watch Pa cast the fishing line. Thanks Mimi and Grandpa for such a fun day!
