A Wet Friday Night

Friday night we went out to eat and get groceries. I know, what a way to spend our Friday night. With nothing better to do it was a way to have some family time and get some errands run. While we were at the grocery store it started to rain and rain hard. When we got home to eave spout was dripping water. Since the girls needed a bath any way I told them if they wanted to go get wet it was OK. Of course they didn't have to ask twice and presided to get soaked. They loved it and by the end they were dripping wet and ready for a warm bath.

What a Day!!

Monday was our little girls 2nd birthday.  It is hard to imagine where the time has gone.  Mommy and her spent the day out and about.  They brought lunch to me at school and we had a picnic at the lake.  That is one of the perks of working close to home.  After lunch Sarah and Ella went home to plant flowers and they had a great time.  

That evening I had a slow pitch softball game.  My mom came down and went with Sarah and the girls to watch.  During the game I slid into second base (I know I shouldn't try too hard) I seemed to hurt my wrist.  I played the rest of the game with it hurting thinking nothing of it.  Today I got up and could hardly do anything with my right hand because my wrist was hurting very badly.  I ended up leaving school early to go to the doctor and get X-rays.  Luckily nothing was broken only a severe sprain and a bone bruise.  I will now have to wear a brace for the next week and a half to two weeks.  Yeah me.  Sarah tells me it is a sign of getting old, I don't think so.  We will see what happens next.  Later.

A Happy, Happy Weekend.

What a weekend! We had Ella's birthday on Saturday and Mother's Day on Sunday. Ella's birthday was wonderful. The family showed up and it was a beautiful day to be outside. She got many wonderful things and loved all the attention as usual. The cake is from Sarah. My mom baked the cake and Sarah decorated it. It is in the shape of a cupcake and the swirls matched the ones from Ella's dress. It was a big day but everybody had a wonderful time.
Sunday Sarah woke up and we had breakfast for Mother's Day. We then took a trip to Pella to look at the flowers and walk around the square. We meet Sarah's parents and grandparents there for lunch and the walk. The girls had a great time running around and smelling all the tulips. During lunch Ella kept practicing how she was going to smell the flowers. It was a quiet trip home from Pella as Ella slept and Ava just sat nice and quiet. It is amazing that our little girls are growing up and fast. It is a joy to see them change everyday and become more independent, not that they all ready are!! Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there and have a wonderful weekend.

Sarah will be taking orders for cakes to go along with her photography soon.

Their First Dance

The girls finally had their first Middle School Dance.  Sarah had to work last Friday night so the girls went with me to the Middle School to chaperone the last dance of the year.  I was nervous about taking them but they had an absolute blast.  The danced for almost 2 solid hours, then they went to the gym and participated in the Limbo contest and finally had ring pops, and a candy bar.  Coming home that night Ava kept telling me she was ready to go to her next dance.  I can't wait!! (Insert my sarcasm there.) 

  A busy weekend is here with Ella's 2nd birthday party on Saturday and her actual birthday on Monday the 11th.  It is hard to believe that she will be 2 years old.  What is even harder to believe is that Sarah and I will have a 2 and 4 year old.  Crazy where the time has gone.  Look back for pictures of the party this weekend (I promise Karen!!).  You will be impressed with the cake that Sarah is ready to decorate.

They loved their matching dresses.
