Sweet Home Alabama

As I am sitting here watching Sweet Home Alabama crying, I have to just laugh at myself!! So I thought that I would post some pictures of when we went to the A-Day game.

Betsey had Alice in Wonderland practice, so we didn't get there until the very end. Which really was a good thing! Betsey has really been bugging her Daddy about taking her to a game so we thought this would be a good trial run.

Of course Rusty was right she lasted for about 2 minutes and then she wanted a water, then it was a lemonade, and then came the "how much longer". Needless to say I don't think that she will be going to any real games of the 2010 season.

She and Ellasyn did like it that we were really close to the cheerleaders. That kept them entertained for oh maybe 30 seconds!

However the fountains were a perfect playground on a hot Alabama day. We finally bribed them with a slushee to get them to leave.

This only happened after they were both soaking wet! All in all we had a great time but I think that it will be a while until all 4 of us go to an Alabama football game together again, Unless it is A-Day game next year! :)

I guess we can be 4 of the 100,000 plus people that descend upon T-Town to watch "practice"!

W and X

Betsey's class has been going through the alphabet this year and each week has been a different letter. They have done some really cute things and I know that Betsey has learned so much this year. I can't believe that the girls only have one more week of school left. Then I am going to have a kindergartener!!!!! Where has the time gone?!?!?!?
This was our Wild, Wild West day attire! I know, I know but we both kind of forgot about it until we were walking out the door and so we just added some boots, some braids and a cowboy hat!

We were a little more prepared for X marks the spot day! Her class went on a treasure hunt this day and made little parrots that they clipped on their shoulders....so cute!

For some reason I could not get the pics I took today to upload so I found some cute ones from my birthday and thought that I would put them up. The girls and I went to the park for a picnic and cupcakes!
Betsey hanging out on the swings. She does this all the time and says she is flying.

Ellasyn is of course enjoying a petit four or "baby cake" as she calls them. She does not like regular cupcakes she loves to eat "baby cakes." Can't say I blame her especially if she is eating one from Savage's!!!! I know some people especially one certain person who tried to get Savage's shipped to her will agree, there is nothing like a Savage's petit four!

I think Betsey's hair looks so cute in braids like this. It could also be that I have a soft spot for "Little House on the Prairie" I think that I read all of the books at least 4 times while I was growing up.

The freckles are coming out. This poor child we have to put sunscreen on her everyday before she goes to school and before she goes outside to play. She is so good about it but bless her!

I cna't beleive how long her hair is getting. Finally!!!! She has the fastest growing fingernails in the world but her hair has taken forever to grow! Granted the trip she took to Betsey's Hair Salon probably did not help matters.

Hopefully tomorrow I can figure out why I could not get pics up tonight!

For some reason I can't upload the pictures that I took today but I found some cute ones from my birthday that I never got around to putting on here so I thought that I would put them on today.

Wordless Wednesday

Random Tuesday pics

I mean really Ellasyn is that the best you can do? She was so proud of her new leotard but she just would not smile to take a picture!

My litte diva Alice in Wonderland! I know she is getting excited for her dance school's Spring performance of Alice in Wonderland. She is going to be a swan and a mushroom. Only two more weeks!

Just another Manic Monday

I don't want my picture taken! I just want to eat my sucker!

Please Mom just let me eat my sucker!

I am just going to pout under the table with my sucker!

Finally someone who will pose with their cute little cactus sucker from Arizona!

Today was CRAZY and not in a good way! I literally drove up and down I-65 through Birmingham 6 times! This morning I had to take the girls out to Peggy's because it was dance registration. My dance mom friends and I were all planning on meeting at 10:30 to SIT in our little chairs in a waiting line for the 12:00 registration time. I just did not think it would be very fun for Betsey and Ellasyn to sit for that long. Well when I pulled out of Peggy's driveway at like 9:40 my friend calls me and says she just drove by and there is already a line wrapping around the building! WHAT!!! How can this be?!?!?!? SO I hurried my little self along and got there as soon as I could. According to the GPS I was to arrive at 10:11 when I got there, there were at least 40 people in front of me. I could not believe it. All of my waiting paid off because I was able to get them both into the classes that they wanted and on the days that I wanted to make our schedule work. HOORAY! Then I had to go back to Peggy's and pick the girls up to to head to dance. Once I dropped Betsey off at dance I had to pick up my mom at the airport. She had gone out to Arizona to visit Bob and Maureen. It sounds like she had a BLAST! I think that they were go go go. Just like how I felt today. Here is to hoping that tomorrow is much more laid back and we can stick around the house some.

Water Fun

We tried out our sprinkler system for the first time today and I am not quite sure who enjoyed it more, the grass or the girls!

They were having the best time just splashing around and putting their hands and feet in the spray.

These puddles sure are fun. I think they asked Rusty to turn them on 3 different times. It was funny though because they did not want him to turn on the ones that were just in the grass or just in the landscaping. They only wanted the ones that were next to the driveway because heaven forbid they get grass on anything on their feet!

Suddenly the driveway became boring and they came running into the house wanting bathing suits. I thought they just did not want to get their clothes wet, but no they wanted on the trampoline!

With the sprinklers going on underneath them! You should have seen them squealing and running around. They were having a blast! I think they got a little bit cold but like Betsey said "This will be so much fun when it is really summer!" Then she does this cute little clap thing that I keep trying to take a picture of and can never seem to get. It is like this little golf clap and it is sooo cute!

Excuse the trampoline pictures I was taking them through the net because I sure did not want to get sprayed! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I know we sure did!
