Six Flags!!!

Before Taylor left to go back home, she wanted to do either white water or Six Flags. So, because I'm not getting in a swim suit right now and Steve wasn't home, I decided on Six Flags. Possibly one of the hottest days of the year to go, but we went. We got there at 10 am and didn't leave until 7 pm, what a long day. I rode a couple of roller coasters with Tay and Robert, while Sandra had the girls on their side of the park. We ended up at Skull Island which is the water park there and before I knew it, Sandra and I were in the water fully clothed. It was that hot. The girls really had a great time until Izabella fell and busted open her knee, I swear, she must be the biggest clutz ever! Anyway, here are a few pictures of the day at the park, enjoy!

Time To catch up........

Time for tea!

Sandra and I took Christina and Izabella to this little tea house we've been wanting to try out. I thought this would be the perfect place for us to celebrate with the girls the fact that they are starting 1st grade and leaving kindergarten behind. I found these hats at The Children's place and had to get them. This was our chance to get all dressed up and teach them how to have tea properly. It was such fun and the food was amazing. Sandra and I had their special cream of artichoke soup that we couldn't get enough of. We had about 100 teas to chose from and neither one of us knew a thing about tea, so we decided on the Cheeky Peach, which ended up being a very good choice. Both of the girls had so much fun. The have hat racks full of old hats that you can wear while you are there and as you'll see from the pictures, the girls took complete advantage of that. They have a lovely little gift shop there as well with beautiful tea pots, cups and everything you would need to have high tea at home. We've decided that that this will be the next stop for our "big" girls date. We have another friend that just loves tea so we have to take her there. Anyway, we had a lovely afternoon with just the girls. Enjoy!

The last days of school!! First Grade here we come!

(lord, help me!)

Bridging ceremony for Girl Scouts:

Izabella and Christina also joined girl scouts last year and when they begin they are called Daisy's. Once they complete all the "tasks" they get badges and as you'll see from their smocks in these pictures they earned all of their petals to complete the Daisy. The next step is Brownies, which Sandra has signed Christina up for but we haven't made up our minds yet on this one, but nonetheless the girls had fun over the last few months.

Sleepover at Christina's!
The girls had a sleep over last month and Sandra was actually able to catch them loving on each other instead of trying to kill or out shout one another. These are the best times when they are so sweet to each other. They are just so close, just like sisters. I guess when we see them together we're happy we don't have 2 girls, but down the road they'll be glad they spent so much time together!

Happy Birthday to Mommy!

I've been very bad lately about keeping up. With Izabella's last week of school and having to go to TN to get Tay, etc. It's just been crazy. I took all of last week off so that I could volunteer at Izabella's school for all of the last week activities! What fun that was, I will post pictures of this later. The girls and Steve took me to Kani House - a Japanese Steak house - for my birthday. They just don't slow down after 21 do they! Eek! 36! Anyway, we snapped this picture of the girls and I just wanted to share. They were both wearing their white sundresses and both looked so beautiful! We got a good gene pool it looks like to me! Anyway, Izabella started Summer Camp this week and Tay will be back to visit on Thursday for the weekend. I doubt we are going to see much of her this summer. She's taken a nanny job for the summer so I'm not sure how she'd be able to get away from that.......ho-hum, I guess I knew this would happen to us eventually. Too much stuff going on at home for her to miss. I guess we'll see her at HS graduation! just kidding tay! Anyway, have a good week everyone. My camera is in need of service, so I am getting pictures from everyone else's camera's so there may be a delay in my posts.
