Water Day at La Casa

Ashley was so excited to experience water day after seeing Trevor having all the fun the past few years!

Ashley and Kennedy Morris, her friend from school and dance!

Ashley was one of the few who dared to go in the cold kiddie pool!

Weeeeee!

She is definitely a water baby!

After their time on the water toys it was time to dry off and enjoy a popsicle on the lawn!  Ashley was not a fan of fudgesicles as you can see!

Kids Weekend with Grandma and Papa John

Grandma Pauline and Papa John watched the kiddos for a weekend so that Sara could go visit Brian and see the home we bought!!!  Ashley was a tired camper and fell asleep within minutes of them dropping Mommy off at the airport!

Grandma and Papa John did a great job getting Trevor to his soccer game...

...as well as taking great pictures!

They went to a friends pool and swam the day away!

Trevor got some putting practice in too!

Looks like Papa got kicked out of his bed!

They went to their favorite place - the train park!

Rode the carousel 

Checked out the museum

And then they hit up Peter Piper Pizza!

Mommy and Daddy were having a fun time too ... Mommy loved the house, Daddy did good! And before we all knew it, it was time for Mommy to come home!  What a welcome she got at the airport!

Mommy felt refreshed from her kid-free break and was so excited to see her munchkins!!!

Mommy brought back Arkansas shirts for the kids.  Trevor put his on right away and wanted to wear it to school the next day!!

Thanks Grandma and Papa Hillins for taking such good care of Trevor and Ashley!  Sure will miss having you so close by to love on them!!

Our New Home

When Brian flew to Arkansas on Saturday as soon as he got off the plane our realtor Jerry was waiting to show him like 20 homes.  Some were easy to just drive by but others he said were interesting.  They narrowed it down to 4 homes that Brian would see again on Sunday.  Then Sara and Brian narrowed it down to just two - one in Shadow Valley and one in Pinnacle.  2 different community feels, 2 different price points but after careful consideration we decided to put an offer on one of the homes!  How could we do that with out Sara seeing it in person?  Well good homes sell fast and this one had just gone on the market so we needed to.  Plus Brian found our AZ home in a similar fashion and that one was great for our family!  And Sara would be going there soon so if she absolutely hated it we can always get out of it.  But based on pictures Sara and kids are so so excited!!!  It's in Rogers, AR but in Bentonville school district which is great!  It's 5 bedroom, 5 bath so lots of room for visitors!!!!

Mother's Day Fun

Even with Brian now in Arkansas, the kids and Mommy had a fun Mother's Day week :)  Of course it's at least a week, Mommy doesn't celebrate anything for just one day LOL  First up was a Mother's Day event at Trevor's school.

Morgan's Mom had to leave early to attend her older daughter's event so Mommy subbed in for her Mommy.

We had cookies and treats and lots of laughs!

All of the Mommy's and kiddos!

Nana Jeanne flew in to help with all of Sara and the kids activities which was so helpful but also meant we could celebrate her special day early too!  We treated her to O.H.S.O for dinner!

On the actual Mother's Day, Sara and the kids met Grandma Pauline and Papa John at Eddie Merlot's for brunch.  Of course Bitty Baby came too!

We gave Grandma a lot of her favorite treats!  But what Mommy remembers the most is the impressive amount of omelets that Trevor devoured during our meal.  Aye caramba that boy can eat!
