Sigh.....

Star Struck.......

Graduation From Miss Cami's Preschool

I know I know its pretty cheesy but too adorable NOT to post. Grey does NOT enjoy performing and singing in front of a crowd. He didn't misbehave he just chose not to sing, or smile, or participate very much in any way. Grey did have a few "parts" like being the tree in the Fall or being a policeman. But he for sure did NOT sing or smile while standing there. It was adorable to watch. All he really cared about was the balloon and cookie he got at the end!

Red Butte Gardens....

Trumps the Dallas Arboretum. Sorry but its true. As a student at the U, I get in free and our friends Alyssia and Tiago wanted to meet us there. It is beautiful! If only I was a stay-at-home mom and we could get a season pass and go every single day-seriously! I think I am putting a season pass on my Christmas wish list to enjoy next spring and summer. We played, hiked, picnicked, and enjoyed the flowers. It is now one of my top fav things to do around home. And Grey-who did not suddenly grow a mustache but had just eaten some Oreos-learned to wink while there. Watch out ladies!

Last Day of 3rd Grade!

3rd grade was a crazy year. Lucy was involved with plays and gymnastics and I was overwhelmed! But we did it! We made it! Lucy finished her last quarter with a 3 in keyboarding!!!! She hates typing and usually refused to do it. It was the first time Lucy has hated anything to do with school. It was awful. But we made it. To celebrate her last day, I let Grey and Lucy choose one friend (Ruby Swenson and Jake Adamson) to take to the trampoline park. It was awesome. She will always be my little baby girl...

Cheech and Chong

To Tortoise or Not to Tortoise...That is the Question

Lucy has wanted a pet for several years now and I have ALWAYS had great reasons NOT to get one. But yesterday she came up with the idea of getting a turtle. Seriously. So smart mom that I am I decided to take her to the pet store and told her she HAD to hold one before I would even consider it. So we went and she did (they don't carry box turtles so we are now looking at a Russian tortoise). So what now?! My biggest concern is that they can live for up to 50 years which means I could be 80 something years old with a 50 year-old tortoise. SERIOUSLY?!

5k Law Day Run

The firm I have been interning with for the past year was a sponsor of a 5K. It was on the U's campus and I was able to bring the kiddos. It was awesome. Lucy did great-our plan is to do another 5K without little man to see if Lucy is able to run the entire way. I did ditch them at the very end so I could take pics of both of them crossing the finish line. Pretty sure several spectators did NOT think I was Mother of the Year, but I wasn't trying to cross the finish line first I just wanted to see their faces as they accomplished something so big for a 9 and 4 year-old.

Crazy Hair Day :)

Doesn't take a lot for the kids and I to have a crazy hair day BUT for Lucy's school hair day we went all out. It wasn't really necessary for Grey to get his hair done, well actually according to him it was. The coolest part was that someone at school thought that Lucy's hair was a wig! Ha!

Zion National Park

After taking 5 semesters straight in a row without a break-I decided I REALLY needed one. A few days of hiking and having actual time to be with my kids was just what I needed. Just look at this:

Finally Finals!

I am officially done with finals! Whaahoo! I am taking the summer off to intern with Ernst & Young (big time baby) so this will be my first semester off in two years. I need the break from homework. Right now I am one semester away from my Bachelors and a total of only THREE to my Masters!!! I can actually see the end. I had to post this pic of Grey Grey B.Ross taken Tuesday night around 11:30pm. I gave up on studying because during finals if I don't sleep Grey doesn't sleep. I am guessing its my stress that he is feeding off of? Or that I am a weakened opponent? But this moment made me smile. This moment made me laugh. I just turned the lights off and snuggled my little brown bear. It was a very, very nice moment.

Handstands (yep thats the only title I could think of)

I can NOT believe how long her legs are. She is too old for this mama.

Easter 2012

We had celebrated Easter a few weeks earlier with Dad, but lucky for us the Easter Bunny still came on Easter. Grey got some Hulk fists-might have been a bad idea Easter Bunny....
