Happy Birthday Anna

Saturday we made the trek over to Main Event in Frisco to help celebrate Anna's 5th birthday.  We definitely miss being neighbors with these sweet friends. 

Harper & the birthday girl

Anna, Harper and Kate

First attempt at bowling.  She used the ramp for the first few times then got the hang of it and wanted to just push it down the lane her self. 

Brody managed to find an empty lane (without bumpers) and take a few rolls.


After bowling and pizza they enjoyed some fun arcade games.






Happy Birthday Anna Lou!

Valentine's Date at the Ballpark

Baseball season is in full swing and there was a scrimmage tonight against Wakeland.  After spending the afternoon at the Aquarium we grabbed Chick Fila and had a picnic at the baseball field.


This is the first game of the season that we have attended so I didn't have my "entertainment bag of tricks" packed and ready to go yet.  Thanks to Chick Fila for providing a somewhat captivating toy in the kids meal.

Our view for the evening - Coach Sherman doing his thing.



Emerson and Harper attend the same preschool and her dad and Jeff have been friends for ever.  They enjoyed playing together tonight.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sea Life Aquarium

The kids and I headed out to the Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine Mills this afternoon.  We met Amanda and Noelle and the kids loved it. Today they were offering buy one get one free and then they let the kids in for free.

Brody was a crazy man - running from tank to tank checking out all of the fish.  He loved it!

Sweet Friends!

The aquarium was perfect for the littles.  They had all of these fun ways for the kids to look at the fish.  This one was a bubble that they get poke their heads up and be in the middle of the tank.

Brody's favorite was this walk way that went through the middle of the shark tank. He loved laying down on the glass and looking down at the fish swimming around.



Attempt at group photo. This is the best that I got.

At the end of the exhibit they had these tanks that contained things that they could hold and touch.

We had a great time and enjoyed our half price tickets. 

Happy Birthday Abigail

On Saturday Harper and I had a girl's date to Abigail's 6th birthday.  Her party was brunch at the American Girl store at the Galleria.  We don't have an American Girl doll yet so we borrowed one from Mimi's house.  Both of my sisters had several dolls growing up.  So Harper had the vintage doll at the party.

This was Harper's first experience at the store and she LOVED it!!  I couldn't get her out of there when the party was over.  We all enjoyed a yummy breakfast.



All of the dolls lined up at the table while the girls took a potty break.

Samantha ate well that morning also.

Happy Birthday sweet Abigail!



  
Harper brought home the catalog and has already requested several items out of it.  I told her to ask Santa next Christmas...
