Regan's Progress Report

Regan is doing so well - she says that Mrs. Zwick is her favorite teacher! While reading a book out loud last week, she told Morgan: "Sissy has to practice reading because she is going to 1st grade soon!"

Houston Mounted Patrol Facility - Birthday Party

It was our neighbor, Billy's, 6th birthday!  The kids loved seeing the horses and Regan got the hang of feeding them!  Morgan just looked on and let me feed the horses - she preferred the tractor!


Birthday Parties Galore & Spring Time Feeling!

Last weekend, Regan attended a birthday party at the Planetarium (on Sat - seeing a frog!) and Kids in Action (on Sun). In our spare time, we had "Spring Time" pictures taken at Portrait Innovations and played outside.  Morgan is making such progress on the tricycle!!

Regan's Schoolwork

From President's Day to Dr. Seuss's birthday, the K class always find a lesson and story to tell... 

Bluebonnets!

Yes, I diligently try to get pictures of the girls with the bluebonnets on an annual basis. TRY is the key word.  The first collage shows the "best" pics & only ONE with both girls in the bluebonnets!

This collage shows Regan over the past 5 years - a happy child with a smile.

And Morgan (last 3 yrs)...why do I torture her with the bluebonnet experience? But, I'll try keep trying!

Wedding Planner

(Last week) In the time it took me to request my prescription and pay for it, Regan had selected her wedding gown, bouquet and cake from a magazine.  I only snapped a pic of her wedding gown choice!

Regan's Spelling Test / Morgan's Artwork

Making good progress...

Trip to Mall

Guess who we saw? Guess what we bought? 

Baskets or Boxes

Regardless, the girls enjoy their play time!  (May 2010 vs. March 2012)

St. Patrick's Day!

Only my crew didn't wear GREEN!!  Thankfully, Aunt Leah, Caden & Harper showed their spirit! When asked their "highs" of the day, Regan replied: "seeing Aunt Leah & Caden"; Morgan replied: "Baby Harper"! Morgan missed the pics and the majority of their short visit because of nap time!

Pops is 70 Years Young!

Mud pies, grub worms, bike rides to Sonic, and Pops "07th" birthday!! :) We love you, Dad/Pops!

Simple Joys of a Dandelion!

Regan stopped her bike at the sight of a few dandelions!  She told Morgan: "blow and make a wish - "but don't tell anyone otherwise it won't come true"! :)

Neighborhood Park

We are very thankful to be located so close to our neighborhood park.  The girls love it! Two of the neighbor boys, Billy & John David, joined us later in the afternoon.  Regan flew across the monkey bars for the first time by herself (trying to keep up w/ Billy)! Of course, I left my camera at the house!

Spring Break Begins - Free Activity!

Rain puddles.  End of cul-de-sac trail.  After a morning bike ride, I let the girls put on their Crocs and play in the water puddles.  I had two soaked little puppies at the end of their 45 minute free play!

Regan's School Work (Feb 2012)

Disney Princess Half Marathon 2012 - Official Pics!

What a great running experience! It was definitely a race to bring out the inner princess!! 

Animal Kingdom Rollercoaster - Expedition Everest

"Expedition Everest in the Asia area of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park is a high-altitude, high-speed, roller coaster train ride for big kids, teens and adults to the "Roof of the World," home of the inhospitable snarling beast, the Yeti, at the mountain's peak...

From this panoramic point with amazing views across Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park, you plunge into darkness. Returning to the light, you see that the tracks have been twisted into a dead end. As the wind howls, you realize there's no place to go on this expedition—or is there?"

Above is Disney's description of this ride.  Regan & Christopher sat in the front and survived the ride, but both admitted it was "TOO SCARY". This ride may have changed Regan's "love" of rollercoasters!
