Diva Girlz

The girls had a fun time dressing up as Diva Girls at Diva Girlz Studio (http://www.divagirlzstudio.com/) last week.  A little girl that  we met in tumbling joined us.  They had tons of fun getting their makeup, hair and nails done, then dressing up.  They were covered with glitter!  We were sad another friend couldn't join us, but it was a fun activity for the end of summer. 

August Getaway to Louisiana

We recently visited my Mom and Dad in Louisiana for an end of summer getaway. M&M had lots of fun visiting the High Delta Safari Park (http://www.louisianatravel.com/high-delta-safari-park).  As you may notice in the pictures, Big M loved feeding the animals and Little M found that playtime on their playground was more her thing.  The girls were able to pet a snake, chinchilla, and lizard.  But their favorite animals of the day were the baby camel and baby donkey.  I have to say the donkey was pretty fun to watch!

We were also able to swim in the neighbors' pool...we are so appreciative that they allowed us to swim during our visit.  The girls had a great time!

A visit to the local skating rink was fun for both girls.  Even little M was able to skate with some help from her "skate assist" and snap-on skates.  They enjoyed their time with Emily, a neighbor girl that lives just down the street.

I don't think the girls were quite ready to go home when it was time---they were having too much fun.  Maybe next time they will be able to stay at Mamaw and Papaw's for a longer visit without Mama and Daddy!

Little Dancing Cowgirls

M&M's summer dance performance was last night.  We sure enjoyed watching these little cowgirls dance, especially since they were able to be in the same class together this summer. Hope you enjoy it too!

Tomatoes!

M&M have been so proud of the little garden they've planted with Charley this summer. They've seen the plants grow from seeds and it's been a great learning experience for them. Each tomato they pick is so special and they taste yummy too! 

Old Friends

We received a surprise phone call  from our old neighbors and friends, the Barnes Family, early last week. They had plans to be in Stillwater and asked if we would be able to go over and see them.  We had a nice afternoon visiting and catching up...M&M were able to swim in our old neighborhood pool and see Miss Maggie Kay and Mr. Thomas.  They hadn't seen each other for about 2 years.  It was so neat to see how the kids had each grown and changed since last seeing each other.  They had lots of fun swimming and playing together.  So glad  the Barnes Family called us! 

Whoopee! No Training Wheels!

Big M recently decided she no longer needed training wheels on her bike.  She rode a neighbor friend's bike without training wheels, although it was a smaller one than the one she rides. It seemed so easy for her on the small bike, she was determined to ride her own bike with out training wheels.  Big M was a little shaky at first, but once she figured out that she would balance better with a little more speed, she was off and we just about couldn't keep up.  Here's a little video of her first time riding her bike without training wheels:

Lord's Little Army End of School Program

Poor Little M!  It seems like we just don't take as many photos or videos of her. And, when we do, I'm just not as quick at posting or putting the photos in frames.  Anyway, Little M's end of the year program was back in May and I'm finally getting around to posting a video of my favorite song that all of the kids sang.  I'm not sure what the song is, but they are singing in Spanish.  Mrs. Colleen thought Little M had the best cha cha cha of all the kids...I think I agree! :)
