Mega Post: Wild Rides, Airplanes, Sisters, and Tee-motes

What can I say… life is good! We have 2 beautiful girls that bring us so much joy and it is never ending. I have so many pictures that I have wanted to post and it just has not happened. Well, here is my mega post! Some of the pictures are from Spring Break and some are from this last week.



We took the girls to 6-Flags on St. Patrick’s Day during Spring Break and had a wonderful time! It was a gorgeous day and the girls wanted more and more rides. Greg Ellis (Big ol’ Dallas Cowboys football player) and his kids were there and Hunter was somewhat giddy. What can I say!

A couple of years ago, some friends from our old church, Lake Cities C of C introduced us to this great little diner at a tiny little airport near Saginaw. The girls love it. Not only do they have fantastic hamburgers but also you can watch all the airplanes take off and land because it is right on the runway. Hunter had never gotten to go with us so it was actually his idea to go. It is one of the girl’s favorite places to go during the summer. Anyone up for a trip to the airport this summer?????
Hunter has always wanted to get his pilot's liscence ever since he was a crew chief on the UH1 Helicopters in the Army. They only wanted $30,000 for a plane build in the 60's and was missing the rear engine and several other very impportant parts! Yikes!

Here are just a few pictures that we snapped over the last few weeks. Our girls love each other so much. It is funny because Grace tries to baby Hope so much. However, Hope turns around and tortures her big sister. It is kind of like the old song “Sisters” from White Christmas. One of the lines goes… Sisters, Sisters, there were never ever better sisters! I can’t wait to see how they interact as they grow up. It is my prayer that they will love each other and always be friends. I hope and prayer that they are blessed to have the kind of relationship that I have with my wonderful and loving big sister, Ronda! Love Ya Sis!







I am always mad at myself for not writing down the funny things the girls say. Tonight, Hope had me smiling with her funnies. She is growing up SOOOOO fast and it makes rather me sad. She is so smart and tries to do everything her sister does and more. Here is one our conversations this afternoon. TO set the stage, she and her sister had gone over and switched the T.V over to the DVD player and inserted Peter Pan, Return to Never Land.
Me: Hopie, what are you doing?
H: Mom, I am getting the Teemote.
Me: The what?
H: The TEEMOTE Mamma. You need to listen to Hopie. (hmmmm… wonder where she got that line from. )
She successfully got the remote off the counter and was so proud of herself. I love her little words and funny expressions. She is growing up so fast and soon her words will be so clear. I will miss hearing “Mommy, I LUB you!” and her little, well, rather big gasps when something happens that is followed by “Oh, my Goobmess Grascios!” My sweet girl, you make your Mama’s life a little brighter! I thank God he brought you into our lives every day. You were the best surprise Mommy could have ever hoped for!
