Lucy girl

Lucy Elizabeth 10-18-05

My sweet girl is 4. 4!!!! I really cannot believe it. My kids are getting so big and so old- no babies here! Lucy is such a fun child. She is independent, smart and so silly. She is a huge help to me at home- I love it!! She can feed Daisy, put away her clothes, load clothes in the dryer, mop the floor, help me cook- she was even washing dishes the other night!! We got this great little stool for the kitchen so the kids can be up higher and reach more things. She grabbed the stool, turned on the water and started cleaning the dirty dishes in my sink with our soap sponge. I love this girl!!!
Helping me put together our spread for Monday Night Football. She was skewering our fav snack- sweet pickles and cheddar cheese!! yum-o :)
Dredging chicken fingersKneading pizza dough

She and her bubba continue to be very close. They have their moments for sure, but they are best friends and always together. They dress up fancy and pretend to be married (even though they both know God has already picked out someone else for them), they do the whole wedding thing. They stand together at "the church", then go dancing and "talk to everybody that's there". I don't know how they know all this- they have never been to a wedding!! It's one of Lucy's favorite things to do with her bubba, though. On the weekends, they want to have sleepovers in each others rooms, since they each have a trundle bed. They talk forever in there!!
She loves chocolate!! She asked for chocolate cake for 2 of her three birthday cakes (my mom's lemon pound cake was the other one), she drinks chocolate milk every morning, and always gets chocolate ice cream at Braum's when we go for a special treat.
She really go into swimming this summer. We had swim lessons for 2 weeks, and she really shined!!! Her teacher was constantly surprised at how good she did, especially since she was the youngest one in the class by a year!! She loves being underwater doing twists and spins, pushing off from the side and being a "torpedo", and jumping off the diving board.
We have such fun with our Lucy. She is a girly-girl , but very brave and tough. It's quite a combination!! She loves changing clothes and dressing up, and she is very good at picking out her own clothes. Thank you, Lucy, for bringing joy to our family everyday!!!

Doesn't four seem huge?! There is something about that age that really screams, "I'm not a baby anymore!" Your little Lucy is a doll. Soak it in!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
