High Tea Tradition

I love a nice high tea.  I learned to love it from my mother.  And, she continues the tradition!  How fun!

Bunny has been taking Savannah to high tea for years and now Everly gets to go, too!  A special time for a grandmother and and her granddaughters.  Fun that I get to join in!

It's always fun to see the girls all dressed up.

Love my sweet girl so much!

Aren't they all the cutest!

Everly loves high tea so much that Bunny makes it a part of her birthday celebration. (Can you tell that she's excited?!)

It really is a special tradition that we all look so forward to.  Can't wait for many more high teas to come!

May Snapshots

Whew! May was BUSY!  I've decided that May is officially worse than December.  It didn't help that this entire month I was on one leg.  Yes, after 39 years of no broken bones, I decided to go and trip in the driveway and break my foot.  I haven't been able to put any weight on my left leg for six weeks.  It has been a challenge, but thankfully, it's almost over. Clark has been wonderful and I am surprised daily by the kids.  They are so helpful and have really pitched in with everything around the house!

So, here are some extra pictures...  I drove these crazies to Houston for a field trip!

One Sunday evening we had to take Walker to the ER!!!

Poor baby had a terrible tummy bug and got dehydrated.  He was super brave getting his IV fluids.  Thankfully, he got better quickly. But, it wasn't any fun.

A few days later, Everly got a fever.  No other symptoms, but her puppy helped her get through a sickly day.

Clark and I have found our new favorite place in the Woodlands.  Trulucks!

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner.  Yes, we've been married NINE years!

Today is Bunny's birthday!  Since Walker is away at camp, Everly and I decided to take her for tea.  Turns out there is a great place in the Woodlands.  We are so happy to have found it.

We really enjoyed it.

Such a fun tradition for the girls!

Did I mention that May was busy?  I'm looking forward to some lazy summer days! (with both legs!)

Tea Time!

Bunny and I enjoy high tea.  So much, in fact, that Bunny has taken her granddaughters to tea for years.  So, for Everly's fifth birthday, granddaughter number three got to go to her first tea! (And, luckily, I got to go, too!!!)

She was so excited and looked beautiful!

She was all smiles the whole time….

And, took it all in!

The St. Regis in Houston is great.  She got little ham and cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  She gobbled them up!

She tried tea, but opted for hot chocolate.  She was a precious little lady the entire time.  And, she got to feel very special…. the harpist played "Happy Birthday" and they brought her this cake:

I wish I had a picture of that…. she was so surprised and loved it!  Lots of people wished her happy birthday and told how cute she was.  I think she loved the attention!!!  A perfect start to her birthday celebration!

Special Alone Time

Walker has stayed at Bunny and RayRay's by himself before.  It's always really special, because he gets their undivided attention and Everly gets Mommy and Daddy's undivided attention.  We've talked about doing the opposite and letting Everly go there.  But, we were worried.  You know, she's kind of a diva. 

But, there's nothing like having a reason to try.  On Saturday, I was going to College Station for a mud run with friends and Clark was on Tball duty.  So, Bunny offered to keep Everly.  And, to my very pleasant surprise… she LOVED it!!!  They had all kinds of fun and she really enjoyed "being by herself" at Bunny and RayRays!

So, that meant Walker got some special fun, too.  We took him to Main Event.  He officially named it his "favorite place ever".

Air hockey, skee ball, car games, getting tickets…. what could be more fun???  He loved it.  And, you know what? Mommy and Daddy loved it, too.  It really is special to get one on one time.

And, while we were having video game fun, the big girl was making cookies!

I'm looking forward to doing this again this summer!  

Bunny's Birthday!

Walker and Everly are big fans of birthdays.  So when I told them that Bunny was coming over to celebrate her birthday, they were thrilled!  They got to go to HEB and get balloons and pick out a cake!

Of course she had lots of help with the candles!

Kids make everything so much more fun!
