Big D!!!

We loaded up the girls last weekend and made a quick weekend trip to Dallas. I love how happy an indoor pool and zoo makes my girls. We had a great time and celebrated Brian's birthday while there. We also got to see the Hale's and Hughes'. Please say a prayer for Jim and Bridget Hughes. Jim lost his father to lung cancer last week. I can only imagine. I've only got a few friends who have lost a parent. The devastation and loss is simply unfathomable to me. I'm so thankful to have gotten the chance to hug Jim's neck.



















































































































































No naps for these girls, they wanted to swim!!!




















She wasn't so into it though ;)


























Play date with Ellis once we got home.

Life lately.....

Heather, I stole your title. 😉.
It just fit perfectly for what I need to blog about.....

Kayla and Craig were in town last weekend and we had a great time!



How cute is this photo? This was them at her TTU Casino Night event in Plano a few weeks ago and just had to share. Love the excitement!!
We cooked in both nights and just relaxed. Craig made us his ribs and they were to die for. I ate on them for 3 days!!!! Thanks Bud! And my girls took a liking to the two of them like I've never seen before. I mean, they've always loved them some Kay Kay and Craig but this weekend was different. K put Tess to bed Friday night, which just doesn't happen. If B or I are in that house, she only wants one of us to do it but she totally let K do it. And when they left, every time Tess walked by the dark basement, she would say 'Kayla down there?????' So sweet. Thanks for coming to see us Team Peltoma. Vegas over July 4th is not going to suck ;o)

These two make life fun. Every.Single.Day. I took them to the science spectrum and they could have spent 4,899 days in there. Wowie. We will be back! The butterfly exhibit was super cool!























The news room! We have a HUGE HAM on our hands. Lordy!!!













This one wasn't all that impressed!
She just wanted to eat the mic. Gross!!








A teeth exhibit just for daddy!!



This child. She kills me.





Daddy took Cam to see Zootopia so T and I had a mommy/daughter park day. She felt the need to shoot me her guns up!!













Brian's Plainview practice is doing remarkably well! 10 patients last Wednesday! 8 cleanings and 2 emergencies. Senee is doing s great job. That girl knows everyone!!

Last night mom and dad came to town to take B out for his birthday and we tried the new Aspen Creek Grill. It was very good and served green beer on St. Patrick's Day. Poor daddy, please say a prayer for him. He's been on this damn scooter since late December and is officially over it! He goes to the doc this Thursday, we are boldly praying for good news!! Thanks for the dinner Grammy and Pop!








Next up? Trip with the kiddos to Big D! Brian wanted to get out of town for his birthday so we are skipping town to eat, shop, swim, and Zoo-it!

Cheers,

Wine, duck tartar, ballet, Dr. Seuss, letters, and babies oh my!!!!

The Phillips' joined us Monday night for the McPherson cellars wine dinner at La Diosa and it was amazing!!!!!

Except for the duck tartar. Wow. Never again. But everything else was on fleek for sure! Such a fun night!!!








How is this my child??? I love her so much it hurts. And she loves ballet so much it hurts.




The girls at Dr. Seuss day at the same age. Similar yet so different. And, yes--mommy fail with Tess. Completely forgot it was Dr. Seuss day at school hence the regular clothes. #secondchildproblems




She amazes me more everyday. She's a constant chatter box and loves her some colors and letters.

My bestie, Mandie, is having another baby!!!!!! She's 14 weeks along and all looks great, although she's torturing us all with the sex!! She totally has the results envelope in her office but isn't sharing until after Easter when they all find out as a family. Come on baby girl!!!! Drea and I have so much stuff for you!!!! So so so happy for y'all Mandie!!! 😘😘😘
