Botanical Gardens

We took the girls to the Botanical Gardens one Saturday morning in June.  Some friends of ours had let us know there was no entrance fee in June, so we thought it would make for a fun outing.  The flowers were beautiful.  The weather was just right.  And the girls loved getting to walk around a look at everything (without a stroller).

May 22- E & E's 2nd Birthday Party

Ella & Emma are 2 years old, and we had several family members join us to celebrate that grand occasion.  The girls had recently decided Elmo was their favorite character, so he was the theme of the party.

Mommy made our cake and cupcakes.

 They really had fun opening presents:

Eating goldfish (and picking up ones that dropped):

And of course, HAVING CAKE!! Yum, Yum!

We are so blessed to have 2 beautiful, caring, energetic, loving girls.  We are also blessed to have such a supporting family who love our girls and gave them so many nice gifts.  Thank you everyone!  It was a great party!

Junction- June 3-6

We had a great family reunion with Bryan's family in Junction this June.  It was fun to see everyone and for the girls to get to spend some time with their cousins.  

Flying with Memaw and Datt

The river was just the right temperature.

We all had a good time playing in the water.

The girls enjoyed playing in the jeep, even though they couldn't make it go anywhere.

The tire tree swing was BIG hit!

Sweet Sisters

E & E joined in the singing during our family worship time on Sunday.

Our tired family had a nice flight home.
