ZOO TRIP
Our favorite time of the year to go to the zoo is late winter early spring. The animals are feisty and full of energy before it gets too hot. Going to the zoo is one of our favorite day trips to make. Our sweet family has such a huge place in our heart for animals! Ella Jo, when mommy asks what you want to do when you grow up...your answer has always been a zoo keeper! Awesome Fun for Spring Break!
What better way to end the day at the zoo then a train ride around the park! It was an amazing day at the zoo! Your mommy couldn't have thought of a better way to kick our Spring Break off!
Flowers in Bloom
Your mommy can't keep flowers alive. I know it can't be that hard but for what ever reason they always die! Well, I believe if at first you don't succeed? Try Try Again....and try again I do!
I decided this Spring Break our back porch needed some beautiful color and what better way then with flowers? So, we made it a day, we bought our supplies and had a mommy daughter lunch then headed home ready to decorate our pots and plant our flowers.
Even Alexa Rae decided to plant some flowers but wished to not be photographed. My posting on our blog is a little late. We planted our flowers in March but they are all still ALIVE! I'm so excited! I keep our blinds open in the house so we can see outside at all the beautiful colors standing on our porch!! I know baby steps with learning about plants and flowers but I'm praying this is a start to something awesome and I can keep it up!! Happy planting my angels....can't wait for more!
A night on the Boardwalk
Alexa Rae, you took your SAT test the last Saturday of Spring Break and we decided to take an evening trip to Kemah to say goodbye to our relaxing and awesome spring break 2013! I love our day trips to Kemah but night time just makes it seem like a whole new place. The lights are bright, the crowd seems to lessen, the air is cooler, and so much fun! We rode rides, ate dinner, face painted, ran through the water spouts, carriage rides, mommy shopped, and like always....ended with ice cream!
Like any mommy we always have busy overwhelming days, but moments like this picture is when mommy takes a step back and lets everything else just wait! So many times I catch my self (even out loud) ask God...Do you see this? Look how awesome they are! And You loaned them to ME!! Sweet Sweet sisters sharing secrets and growing their beautiful friendship that they will cherish for all the years of their life! Beautiful moment on a train ride in Kemah, Texas!
Wow! What a year makes! This ride is called the bounce, and just a year ago you cried and had to stop the ride and swore both of you would never ride this ride again...even riding it with big sister, Alexa! This night y'all both were feeling grown and wanted to ride this awesome ride...mommy and daddy didn't mention that last year it brought tears. After riding it one time neither of you wanted to ride anything else! I think y'all rode this ride at least 10 times. Mommy and Daddy laughed and laughed at all the little giggles. Y'all both even raised up your hands to add a little bit more excitement! Just goes to show how big y'all are getting and how much of a difference just one year can make!
Sweet Spring Break Memories Girls!! Ready for warmer weather and fun spring time crafts! We had a lot of fun with our day trips and flowers. The Russell's are ready for all Spring has to offer~
