Over taken by a Blueberry Muffin

Kendall loves blueberry muffins. Clearly!!!!!! I love that you can't see the majority of her face. That is pure muffin enjoyment right there and the sunglasses just give an added touch of sophistication.





Pooped out after lunch!

Easter 2011

For Easter this year, we woke up and Kendall played with a car toy she got in her Easter Basket, a beetle Volkswagen with flowers on it. It has great distance when you pull it back and let it go! She then went to church and Grandma and Grandpa Griffis came with us. For lunch we headed over to our local park for some fun, sun and eats. We played on the playground, ate lunch and tried to do a little Easter egg hunting which didn't go super smoothly. Kendall doesn't quite get that after she finds one egg she needs to keep looking for others. She just wanted to either eat or dump out the eggs contents and then try to eat the plastic egg. We will have to work on this next year! It was a great way to spend such a meaningful day!

Easter Egg Hunt at Play Group & Visit with Old Friends

This past Monday afternoon and evening was packed full of activities with friends. First, Kendall and I went to our usual Monday playgroup. There was an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids, yummy treats and plenty of outdoor activities including a water table. It was super hot that day so we were all trying to stay cool.
After playgroup, we met Troy and our friends, Matt, Katie, Pierce and new baby Luke for dinner. They moved from Dallas to El Paso two years ago when Matt joined the FBI. It was so great seeing them and K couldn't keep her hands off of her buddy, Pierce. She just loved him and who wouldn't!

Caprice & Tim Visit

It was so great having more people from Lodi come visit us. Caprice & Tim were in town for a wedding and stayed with us two nights to explore Dallas. They treated us to Jake's Burgers...oh so yummy! They got to try friend pickles and sweet potato fries with marshmallow dipping sauce...you know you want some too. Thanks for visiting us C&T. We loved having you.

Grandma & Grandpa Lap Visit, Playgroup & Arboretum in Spring

My parents came to visit us for a week. It was ssoooooooo awesome to have them in town. Kendall had so much fun with G&G Lap, but I think they had more fun with her. They read to her all kinds of books, her favorites were Fancy Nancy Splendiferous Christmas read by Grandma Lap and Drummer Boy sung by Grandpa Lap. Kendall showed them what a great swimmer she has become, took them to the park and on walks, to White Rock Lake and of course our local Costco for supplies. For Easter, Kendall received a water table from them of which she has had a ball playing with...awesome gift for kids. We had so much fun that they will be coming back in October for the big 2nd birthday. We can't wait cause I think Aunt Lou and Uncle Jon are coming too! It will be a big family slumber party at our house.



Everyone is our Monday afternoon playgroup is doing well. The kids are growing up so fast. Here they all are 8 total with 3 older siblings in the shot. We love our playgroup!!!






My girlfriends Erika & Sigrid met us at the Arboretum for Dallas Blooms in Spring. We had a great time admiring the oh so beautiful scenery and running after the kiddos...I had to pry my child away from the koy pond because she was ready to jump in with those fish.
