Landrie in her favorite outfit!
Kylie catching a little air.
Karate chop.
Notice the theme. Honestly it has been too warm here to do anything other than swim. When the 7-day forcast ranges from 99 to 103 just plan to get up get your suit on and be thankful we have the pool. We wouldn't know what to do without it!
As the end of the school year got closer we started to bring some things home and just so happened to bring home our classroom plant on the same day. As you can see, one of them thrived and the other practically died. 
Last week while Grandy was here we thought we would take her to the horse races and try our luck. We had a great time...won a little, lost a little and really enjoyed the beautiful night.
Jenna, Kylie and Andrew checking out the horses before a race.
I know this is a little late, but this is a picture from Mother's Day. We spent a good part of the day in the car driving home from Crystal Beach. Before getting in the car I got to hang with my girlies on the swing under our beach house for a while...some might say I was hiding so I didn't have to help pack the van. 
Of course we rode the ferry there. This was a highlight for Landrie seeing as "bird" is one of her favorite words. Very cute unless you ride with her everyday and she feels the need to point out every bird she sees...and, doesn't just say "bird", but instead yells "BIRD, BIRD, BIRD" unitll I comment on the fact that she does in fact see a bird. OK, I guess it is still cute.
Here shi is spoting a bird I'm sure.
Like I mentiond, the hurricane hit this part of Texas hard. This is a picture on the main road of the peninsula. Piles of trees and branches and random garbage. It will take them forever to get back to normal, but they are well on their way.
Here is a picture of a neighborhood that was once house after house after house. Now you can see it is pretty sparce. Some have rebuilt and some are still waiting to be demolished.
Here is a house we came across on the beach. Like the front had been sliced off. 
Here is a shot of our house...great place.
The view off of the front deck. That blue house on the beach is the one that was missing it's front. From the back it looked like they were just missing a few peices of siding.
Landries favorite past time on day 1...eating sand.
I really thought she would figure out that it didn't taste great and be done, but not untill she was pooping sand did she figure that out.
Kylie and Andrew.
The whole gang.
The pool helped with the sand eating a little.
What a great trip!
One milestone we hit in May was getting Landrie out of her crib and into her very own big girl bed.
Who needs a bed when you have a rug?
What a big girl! She has done so well. She lays down well, stays in her bed and every once in a while we will hear her little toy piano go off in the morning...guess she's awake.
The girls used the clues that the Easter Bunny left to find their baskets in Landrie's closet...silly rabbit! Note: Kylie is getting lots of use out of the shoes she got for Jamie and Mitch's wedding, yes, check out her shoes!
Easter eggs were colored.
Landrie did not get the dye...just stickers for her.
That crazy bunny put eggs everywhere.
Landrie wore her rain boots and pulled Kylie's hair. This is a daily occurance. Doesn't bother Jenna...she just keeps reading.
Jenna and Kylie took the first swim of the season...burrr! 68 degrees.
Her teeth are chattering, you just can't see it.
Here we are at CiCi's Pizza. This was on Kylie's birthday. Since I blogged last we have celebrated 3 birthdays. Mine on the 13th(32!), Kylie turned 5 on the 15th and Jenna turned 7 on the 29th. We are holding off on the actual birthday party until we can swim. End of May, maybe June.
Sammy snuggled with our favorite stuffed animal, Polka Dot Murray. Cozy!
Landrie finally started letting us put ponies in her hair. Hard to see, but you get the idea.
This past weekend we ventured to Minnesota to take part in my sister's wedding. Jamie and Mitch dated in high school. They both went in different directions on their own paths. Last summer thanks to their 10 year high school reunion their paths crossed again...the rest is history!
I was so happy to be a part of their big day. Everything went smoothly and turned out to be just beautiful. The only exception...my toast. Talk about a sobbing mess :)
Jenna and Kylie served as flower girls. Kylie got a little nervous and never did make the walk down the aisle. Jenna ended up being escorted part of the way by my brother Conor. Nice improvising Con!
Grandy posing with the flower girls.
My favorite picture of Jamie and I.
Landrie pretty much did her own thing. Thanks so much to Grandy and Shanny for helping us keep her under wraps...made it much less stressful on us. Landrie even got to have a slumber party with Pop Pop and Shanny in their hotel room on the night of the wedding.
Groomsman daddy with his little girls.
Daddy and Kylie sharing a dance.
Mitch and Jamie's first dance. They danced to "Let's stay together."
My brother Mike and I.
All night Kylie kept asking..."Mom, can I slide on my dress?"..."Not yet" I would reply. Finally after 12 times I caved. "Fine, go for it" And she did.
Kylie was nodding off towards the end. My flash didn't go off, but this is still one of my favorite pictures of the night. She was so tired we pushed a few chairs together and she was good to go.
