Easter

We spent Easter with my parents in Hunt.  We had a wonderful time.  It was a long car ride for Charlotte.  She was great for the four hours to Kerrville, but then she was done with being in her car seat.  Luckily we only had about 30 minutes left of our trip!  Meredith was great for the drive.  She got to watch movies in the car and pick out a snack at Bucees!  What three year old wouldn't want to do that?


We went to Fredericksburg on Friday for a little shopping.  On Saturday we went swimming and dyed Easter eggs.  Meredith had so much fun hunting for eggs on Sunday.  We spent hours hiding and finding eggs!

Meredith's Cartwheel!

If you have read this blog you know that Meredith loves gymnastics.  She has been working on her cartwheel for awhile now.  She could do everything except land on both feet.  Yesterday she finally did it.  We are so proud of her and more importantly she is proud of herself.  Here is the video.

Charlotte's Baptism

Charlotte was baptized on Sunday, Feb. 26th at our church, MDUMC.  She was not feeling great in the days leading up to her baptism so Kyle and I were a little nervous.  I am happy to say she was great for the ceremony!  When Dr. Simmons took her she leaned back in his arms to look at us and everyone in the congregation laughed.  It was really cute.  After she was baptized she started to "talk" loudly so I slipped out the back with her while the rest of the family enjoyed a wonderful sermon.

After church we had all of our family over for a luncheon to honor Charlotte on her special day. I am so thankful for all of Liz's (aka Gigi) help the days before the baptism.  She helped me get everything ready, including polishing the silver, ironing the tablecloths and finding napkins that were the perfect shade of pink!  We used her parent's wedding china.  The pattern has beautiful pink flowers on it which was perfect for the occasion.   

You can tell by her red eyes that Charlotte is not feeling great.

Nana and Papa gave Charlotte a beautiful gold cross necklace.

 Wes said he knew Charlotte wanted to take a picture with him.  I think he was right!

Meredith got tired of taking pictures!

Here are some pictures of the decorations!

Valentine's Day

We had a nice Valentine's Day.  Meredith had a party at her school.  I made her a cute shirt with a red heart and pink "M" on it.  Charlotte just wore one of her pink outfits.  Most of her outfits are pink.  Every time Poppy see's her he always says "in pink, of course what else".

This is what I get when I ask her to hold still for a picture!
