I have taken way too long to update my blog...

Sorry for the delay, but I do have plenty pictures.

June 15th was my birthday and it was pretty low key. We went to Superior Grill and I had the regular size margarita- I had work the next day and y'all know I develop a flat tire early :) The theme was yellow and yes I made my family wear yellow shirts. And Carl gave me the beautiful flowers.


We also went to Destin in June and stayed at The Palms of Destin. The place was awesome and pool was the best thing! We only went to the beach one day, but Alayna was a total beach bum. Kayla had a good time swimming in the water, but also looking out for the sharks! We spent a lot of time in the pool and Alayna had a ball. She was in her floatie kicking her feet and trying to drink the water. And of course Kayla made friends and became the "IT" girl. We were sad to leave.

Hoedown, Throwdown!

Kayla and Carl attended the Girl Scouts' Father/ Daughter dance. It was a country western theme. Both were excited about the dance, while there Kayla did not want to dance with Carl. She instead wanted to pay with her friends. I guess she was embarrassed- she is too funny!

May was a Holy Month

In May Kayla made her First Communion and we christened Alayna. Kayla's First Communion was awesome. She was able to sit with family then entire mass and we all went up as one for communion. The family made a semi circle around Kayla and witnessed her receiving communion. You know I was on the verge of tears- I was so proud of her.

Alayna was christened on May 17th. Lenny and Arianne stood in as sponsors. Alayna did suprisingly well. She just had this weird look on her face when the water was poured on her head. And Kayla was a sour-puss that day because she got in trouble for acting up in church.

ANTM Cycle 2018- lol!

Easter

We had a great time on Sunday. We slept by my Mom's in NO Saturday night and all went to church on Sunday. I was so excited because my girls were decked out in their Easter dresses.
Kayla actually racked up this year- she received $40 from various egg hunts! I wish we had Easters like this when I was growing up! Hope you enjoy the pics.

Love that Smile!

I finally have a picture of Alayna smiling. Just had to share!

Back at work...

Going back wasn't as hard as I thought. In fact, I kind of welcomed it, especially after the time I had with Alayna last week. I actually was looking forward to the break. I was so nervous about getting three people together and out the house on time. Well I did it with time to spare.

Alayna did great at daycare (or so they say). She slept most of the day and only started "acting up" about 30 mins before I came to pick her up. When I got there, she was laying in a crib cooing at the baby in the mirror. Of course she was stuck on me the entire evening! Hope the rest of the week goes as smoothly.
