We had our first swim meet of the season with our new swim team.  Cadynce and Donnie both did a great job and had a lot of fun.  View Album for more pictures.

Donnie & Damon Party

We had a little party to celebrate Donnie turning 5 and Damon turning 1 at our neighborhood pool.  It was nice to hang out in the water and watch the kids play and stay cool.  We did cake and gifts at home.  View Album for more pictures.

Donnie's School Celebration

Today was Donnie's school celebration.  We get to watch a slideshow of all the things the kids have done all year long.   They sang several bible verses they have learned throughout the year, and then each child got to stand on the stage and hear how marvelous they are.  We had a picnic after the celebration.  I can't believe he is almost done at Marvelously Made Preschool.  View Album for more pictures.

Kinder Town Meeting

Friday morning was the Kinder Town Meeting.  All the Kinder classes have been working for two weeks on their program.  Cadynce had a little speaking part too.  They did a great job.  View Album for more pictures.

Parade, Mother's Day & Swim

Each year we walk in the Helotes parade...it's a very big deal here.  Donnie rides on his preschool float and throws candy...there is nothing better than 20 three and four year olds throwing candy:)

Mother's Day was kind of a dud.  We started the day with a family hike, but I started to feel sick.  After stopping for lunch, we went home where I hopped into bed, and slept the next 5 hours.  We're passing around a bug and it is my turn...boo!

Today was the first day of swim practice.  We joined our neighborhood swim team this year.  Donnie's practice is first and then Cadynce is right after him.  I hang out in the baby pool with Colbie and Damon.  They did awesome.  View Album for more pictures.

Damon Walking (Video Added)

Damon took his first steps the day he turned 10 months old.  Now look at him...still 10 months old.  We bought his first pair of walking shoes yesterday...he loves walking outside in them.

Renovation Complete!

We made a few changes to the house, and they are finally done!  We had all cabinets painted, new tile in kids shower/bath, new tile and shower in master bath.  The glass for our shower took the longest...3 weeks!!  Glad to be back in our own shower:)  View Album for more pictures.

Happy Birthday Cadynce

Cadynce turned 7 years old yesterday.  I think she had a pretty special day.  She wanted eggs for breakfast, Jimmy Johns for lunch, and McDonald's for dinner.  While we were eating breakfast I read her the little book I made for her.  I asked our family what their favorite thing about Cadynce is, and then I wrote each one and put it on a ring for her to keep.  It went quite well.  She couldn't believe that everyone actually said those things.  She kept asking "How did you do that?" "Did they really say that?"  I included her Kinder teacher, and she yelled "WHAT?  Ms. Montalvo?"  She sure made me feel good.  After school we had cupcakes and sang, and opened her next gift...high heels.  She flipped out.  You should have seen her walking around feeling pretty cool:)  We ended the day with a new big girl bike and dinner at McDonalds.  What a day!  View Album for more pictures.

Golf Tourn/Blue Bonnet Pictures

The Valero Texas Open

It's that time of year again...blue bonnets are in bloom.  We set out to take pictures of the kids, and if we could get a good family picture that would be a bonus.

Saturday we went to the golf tournament and spent a couple hours walking around enjoying the nice weather.  View Album for more pictures.
