CHEESE!!!

Mayce had her, much anticipated and highly feared, dentist appointment on the morning that we returned from Tucson.  We have had some concerns about the her teeth and their condition due to her prematurity but the doc said she looked great!  Our God is SO GOOD!  And even though she did shed some tears in the beginning she ended up doing well so we held up our end of the bargain and headed out to Chuck E Cheese!

Buck always gets way more tokens than I think we are going to need so I have honed in on my gaming skills.  I always had for the ones you can spend the most tickets in the shortest amount of time while still winning a bucket load of tickets.  So without futher ado...

We ran into two of my students while we were there and they were in complete shock.  It made me laugh because they looked at our PILE of tickets and then me with these huge eyes and said "Mrs. COOLER!!!" Hee hee they now look at me in a whole new light!

So for our efforts Mayce scored a Tinkerbell locket and a complete set of Blendy Pens.  Not bad for an hours work.  (We will just leave the fact that we could have bought them for 1/2 as much at Wal-Mart out.)  Love to you all!

 

Playing Around

I had been searching for a new blog design FOREVER.  (Or at least that is the way it seemed to me!)  So when I finally found LeeLou Blogs and decided on the design I wanted to use I knew I would need new pictures for the header.  That being said I got the girls dressed and tried to get some good shots.  It should be noted that the girls are complete opposites when it comes to the camera.  As soon as Mayce sees it she starts posing...as soon as Ansley sees it she starts running (in the opposite direction I might add).  In spite of it all we still managed to get a few good pics as for the rest?  Well you will see...

I don't see you...

I have absolutely no clue what is in her hand...

Fish face!

I really like this one but I fell in love with her eyes in the one I ended up choosing.

So cute!

She just looks so big too me!  Funny side note...the pants that she is wearing in this picture are so long that to make them the correct length we would have to cut off enough fabric to make her a pair of capris.  Maybe not THAT much but alot!  And they are 5s so what gives?

For 30 minutes of playing around I don't think we did too badly!

Tuscon

Over spring break the girls and I headed out on our first solo road trip to see Ryan, Trish, and the kids.  Buck stayed home to bust up what was supposed to be 9 but ended up being 32 tile so I must admit I am glad we weren't around for the mayhem.  It was three days packed full of fun, laughs, and love.  Man we miss them!

The girls played in the tub...

and in the dirt....

Ate at In N Out for the fist time (it was fabulous by the way)...

Sorry I had to take a pic of this.  Sometimes I think that "duck feet" are the story of my life!

Ansley fell in love with the stairs...

Jasmine and Mayce had a tea party...

and we played at the mall...

Chance was handsome as ever.

Asher is getting SO big!

Jasmine and Mayce painted the ugliest prettiest teapots that you ever did see...

We made "oil" brownies...

It's a good thing kids don't care about the details!

All in all it was a fabulous weekend spent catching up and spoiling kiddos that we don't get to see everyday anymore.  We are counting down the days until we see them again.  Love you guys!

Waiting and Waiting....

I know that some of you have probably been a bit concerned that I have fallen off of the end of the earth.  Rest assured I have not and actually have tons of new pictures to share.  The reason for the delay is that I have been anxiously awaiting  my new blog design.  As you can see I received it this afternoon.  Don't you love it?  The gals at Leelou Blogs were great to work with and I sure do!  It is the perfect mix of simple and scrap and I couldn't be more thrilled!

So...there are tons more to come but here are a couple to tide you over unitl then.
