More four-wheelin' and fun with friends

We went over to Ms. Kelli's house the other day to have some fun playing outside. We had so much fun, as usual! Mia got so dirty that I think I am going to have to throw her outfit away. I am on wash number 10 and the stains still will not come out. But it was worth it!

They love this thing!

Look at those dirty knees

Look at that sweet baby Bo!

This is my favorite picture.

Look how Bo is looking at her brother.

Love, Love, Love.

The whole gang!

Thanks Ms. Kelli for a fun day!

Eli's first T-ball game!

This is Eli's first year to play T-ball and he has had lots of fun! Ryan is one of his coaches and is doing a great job. His other coach is my friend Heather's husband Jason. Heather and I got stuck with "team mom". Actually it hasn't been to bad using team work. It has been a good season so far. Here are some pictures from his first game!

The Raptors!

They look like a force to be reckoned with, huh?

This is Sue, Ryan's Mom. Check out her shirt.

She found it and had to wear it for Eli's first game.

This is the shirt she wore when Ryan played T-ball!
Isn't that so cute?

Ready to bat! Look at those knees.

Already dirty!

Way to go buddy!

Girl's Weekend

Well, we had our annual Ladies Retreat back in April. Wow! Was it fun! We had such a blast. I am so blessed to have such an awesome group of ladies surrounding me all of the time. My Mom tells me all of the time how sweet my friends are and she is so right. These girls are so genuine and caring. We really love each other and pray for each other. Ryan and I could not ask for a better church family. This year at our ladies retreat my mom got to come. It was so fun having her there. And next year maybe my mother-in-law and my sister will get to come. I actually forgot to invite them this year. I thought I had, but really didn't. Sorry you guys. You know what a ding-bat I can be. Anyways, enjoy the pictures from the weekend.

My friend April and me.

April is the most beautiful person

inside and out. I mean it.

You will never find a sweeter girl than this!

She was having some difficulties.

She ended up making a snowman

instead of a cross. Darn, I didn't get a picture of it.

My friend Monica and my Mom. Monica was our

guest speaker. She did such an awesome job.

Isn't this a beautiful group of ladies?

Thank you God for all of these wonderful ladies in my life!

Four Wheelin'

Eli's little friend Brayden stopped by the other day

and he and Eli decided to do some four wheeling.

I love these pictures. They looked like little teenagers.

It was too cute!

Fun at the petting Zoo

Eli's Mother's Day Out class went to a Wildlife Park

in Alvin a couple of weeks ago.

The kids had a blast despite the yucky weather.

Pony rides

We even took a safari ride on a train.

Here is Eli feeding some kind of animal. I have no idea what it is.

It looked like a huge dirty donkey. Yuck!

Texas Longhorn

Ostriches are just weird! They said their brains are

the size of a pea. They really freak me out.

Yes, this was in my lap. There were a ton of camels.

Eli had so much fun and was not scared at all.

I was so proud of him.

This is another one of Eli's sweet buddies.

Eating lunch right next to the goat pin. It was all I could

do to eat my little bag of chex mix without throwing up. Fun times!

Boys will be boys!
