<\/a><\/p>\nNoelle and Chloe are great play mates, and it\u2019s so easy to get together because we\u2019re neighbors! <\/p>\n
We had a play date a couple weeks ago with Ysa and baby Teige\u2026 the cutest little guy on the planet!!!<\/p>\n And these gals are pretty cute too, if I do say so myself! <\/p>\n Noelle loves art classes at Van Grow! It is one of her favorite things to paint and create. I think this is actually Noelle\u2019s strongest talent so far\u2026 and she loves doing it!<\/p>\n These are some phone pics from the Sea Life Aquarium when we were on Noelle\u2019s field trip!<\/p>\n These little guys are sharks that clean the floor beneath the sting rays.<\/p>\n Noelle and Emily in a fish tank!<\/p>\n They had a color changing light in this tank, so these jelly fish kept changing colors. It was beautiful to watch, but confusing for the kids because they thought the jellies were doing it on their own and that it was a special thing jelly fish do\u2026 oh well, it was pretty!<\/p>\n When we left, we asked the girls what they learned, and Noelle said that the sea horse males carry their babies in their tummies. That made a big impression on her.<\/p>\n Sweet picture of my daughter looking so much like my brother at Easter.<\/p>\n I made necklaces for the 4th graders at Noelle\u2019s school for a girl power program I\u2019m helping out with\u2026 so excited about that!<\/p>\n Noelle makes her bed every single day. We don\u2019t make her do it or even ask her to, she just does it all on her own! What have I created? She\u2019s a neater neat freak than me\u2026 and I love it!<\/p>\n Havin\u2019 fun at Noelle Stout\u2019s birthday at Pump it Up!<\/p>\n We took a picture of Shiloh and Anna Kate because they suck the same two fingers on the same hand and are the same age\u2026 crazy! Anna Kate was very scared in the wind machine\u2026 right after this picture, she got out and wanted to go right back in, of course!<\/p>\n Dress-up fun with Autumn!<\/p>\n Rose had her first play date all by herself at Lesleigh\u2019s house a few weeks ago. Here\u2019s Rose hanging out on Lesleigh\u2019s bed! (Lesleigh\u2019s 9 years old and loooves baby Rose) Rose looks so proud of herself, like she\u2019s getting to do something really special!<\/p>\n We love our story time with Mrs. Peggy!!! We call her Anna Kate\u2019s teacher, because she practically is! She has taught Anna Kate so much, and I get to be a part of her learning experience. We love it!!!<\/p>\n Mike\u2019s been on a cooking streak, and I\u2019m all about it!<\/p>\n This was the best chicken I\u2019ve ever had!<\/p>\n The girls and I had errands to run at the mall one day this week, so we had a little fun along the way!<\/p>\n My big girl rode the horse all by herself!<\/p>\n After a couple more stops, we headed to the play land to get out a little energy!<\/p>\n This was the first time I\u2019ve ever let Rose out of her stroller at the play land, and she made a loyal friend in no time. This little buddy followed her around the entire time we were there and played really well with her. It was so cute. I texted this picture to Mike and said, \u201cRose made a friend!\u201d That\u2019s my girl.<\/p>\n Anna Kate and Ava were excited to see each other, and Anna Kate made friends with Landry\u2019s grandma, Ms. Jackie. The friendship began over a shared love of the color purple (and the rest was history, as in, she sat in her lap for the entire game)!!!<\/p>\n Anna Kate was showing Carson her purple Care Bear necklace that she bought with her piggy bank money (Wilber the pig!)\u2026 girls love a good piece of jewelry!<\/p>\n Go Skittles! <\/p>\n Sisterly love!<\/p>\n These girls crack me up!<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
