Rebekah's 1st birthday

Monday May the 9th she had heart surgery and Saturday May 14th she turned one year old.  WHAT A WEEK!!
Recovery from the surgery went well at home, we could once again get out and about.  So we planned a FULL weekend for her birthday.  Saturday after her morning nap we took our kids to the park to celebrate the birthday girl with some yummy cupcakes and swing time.  Then after the park we attended a high school graduation party for another sweet Rebekah that we know.  Sunday was our first day back at Church since her diagnosis and then another friends birthday party in the afternoon.  We had a lot to celebrate and we partied HARD all weekend :)

Summer is here

On Cinco De Mayo I took the kids on an imprompto trip to Stewart Beach for the day.  We had been staying home so that Rebekah would not get sick before her surgery.  This seemed like the perfect place to have some fun together before the procedure.  It was a weekday so it wasnt crowded and it was outdoors.  The Big kids had been missing out on a lot of activities so that we could keep R from getting sick, so I felt they deserved a fun day in the sun.  We had a great time with our friend Paula. 

Easter 2011

We love to celebrate Easter in Corpus Christi with my parents.  It is a wonderful time with family and a great way to usher in Spring with the warm temps and all the water.  This year the big kids were little fish at my parent's swim club and we also enjoyed a couple parks.  Resurrection day was a great day of celebration that consisted of Resurrection rolls, Church, Easter egg hunts and playing at the park.  We had a Wonderful time away from East texas with MeMe and PawPaw.

Happy 4th Birthday to princess Hannah

Hannah Rose turned 4 this past Saturday December 4th.  She requested a princess party and wanted to dress up.  So I attempted to turn our Church playground into a castle. I hung streamers to resemble flags ontop of all the poles.  

After her party we came home for some rest time and then headed back to town for the Christmas parade and our yearly tradition of Journey Through Bethlehem.  We had a great day celebrating the birth of our sweet Hannah rose.

 All these pictures from the party are before the guests arrived.  I have no idea what happened to the ones I took once the other princesses and princes got there. Major fail!! and very Sad Mommy :(

 All the fun from the Christmas parade.  The birthday girl had a great time at her first parade :) She was in charge of the candy bag.  Oh, the perks of being the birthday girl :)

We ended the night with our yearly tradition.  The kids are always so excited to see Baby Jesus and the star that leads the way.
