HBD to Claire and Ross!

Such a fun birthday weekend for two of my favorites! Claire turned 8 and Ross turned… more than 8 :)

Great season Shooting Stars!

Bippity Boppity Boutique

The Bippity Boppity Boutique was the highlight of the trip for the girls. Their "fairy godmothers" made them ready for any ball. :)

Cruise Pics

Look at the clear aqua water and the picturesque clouds that we had at Castaway Cay. And do you see the tiny sailboat on the water? Any guesses who that might be? 

Captain Ross Huebel. 

It was neat being able to say hi from the cruise ship and watching him sail around the cove area. 

Girls got to eat lots of good food. 

P was all about the fish! (Pictured: Sea bass and risotto)

First cruise

Well we can’t say we’ve never been on a cruise anymore! We just returned from a week on the Disney Dream. Princess Paige and Princess Claire were living large with chocolate milk and water slides every day. We encountered multiple characters every time we left our room, “oh hey jasmine” and “look it’s Mickey again” so I think we scratched that itch for awhile. Are we going to become cruise people? Don't think so, but it was a super fun trip and a great way to change it up from the theme parks. 

We went to Hollywood Studios for a day on the front end (Star Wars!) and Epcot for a day after we debarked from the ship. The girls loved the more "thrilling" rides. Exceeeeept for P on the Star Wars- Rise of the Resistance- "Mommmmmy! I be all done nowwwww. Waaaaaaa!" I get it P, the bad guy was scary. 

Basking in the sun

When I can’t find Ava, she’s usually watching out the front door or laying in a patch of sunlight. Roma used to do the same thing, so I can only assume all dogs do this.... Or maybe just the grey ones? :)

Yee haw

Paige’s little friend had a “cowgirl” party over the weekend. Paige was so excited to get dressed and wear her boots. I read her the party invitation as we were walking over and it said “saddle up and gallop on over to help us celebrate!” Paige looked at me and asked “do you think it’s ok we’re walking? it says to gallop?”

Bottle. It. Up. 

Rainbows

 "you make me happy when skies are grey"...

Remember when all we needed was some sidewalk chalk to de-stress? :)

Tentland

It was a crisp, cool sun-shiney day in HTX! The kids played outside all day with the neighbors. 

"Tentland "was a big hit with the littles. 

 

And cul-de-sac pickleball was a big hit for Dad and I!

Lipstick

 We did a spa day at the ranch on our last visit. The girls always feel so special with lipstick on. Annnnd they smear it everywhere, but we're outside so there's no worried Mom. 

Wild Things

Certainly not your average face paint. Facetoos I think they were called? Can you guess all the different animals here?

Ranch fun for sure!
