Field of Flowers Day 2012

This has been a really nice tradition for our family.  We have gone 3 times.  Once in 2010 when Samantha had just passed away.  Then again in 2011 when Hannah was 1 and now 2012 at two years.  It is really special for us to get some family photos where I feel like we are really all together in a special way.
This photographer was generous enough to offer to take pictures for free!

Alexandra's First Recital Star Steppers Spring Show

Alexandra got to perform with the Star Steppers at their Spring Show. It was so much fun to see her on stage and as you can see I think she had a wonderful time.
I have been updating much more to facebook than to the blog lately, so I will try to figure out how to connect them so those pics will go here too.
Enjoy the video! Just in case you can't tell, Alexandra is the one to the far left in the turquoise shirt.

Easter 2012

First the Easter Egg Hunt at Alexandra's school.  Here are the girls with Ms. Karen.  They both love her!  I think it helps that she gives Hannah candy ever Thursday afternoon :)

 

Thursday evening we traveled with my parents to Plano to see my sister.  You may recognize this picture from the video on FB.  Friday we had a nice lunch with my good friend and her kids.  Then My mom and sister and I got to have a lovely time at church while dad watched the girls. Dad let the girls play in some containers full of water and later that evening Kinsley jumped in with her clothes on!

Friday David joined us and Saturday we got to go to a nice Easter festival and egg hunt at the church where Kinsley goes to school.  It was lovely!

Then we had a nice picnic at the park and snapped some family photos.  Then the girls enjoyed posing.

Then it was time to swim in the new pool Grandmommy got the grandkids.

Easter Sunday was a beautiful mass at All Saints Church with an orchestra and full choir!  I got lucky and Hannah actually fell asleep :)  Then it was going to rain so we got some quick blubonnet pictures and headed home for egg hunting (3rd for Xandra and 4th for Hannah) they were pros!

Happy Easter to all!

Star Steppers Dance Clinic

Our babysitter Autumn is a dance at Vista Ridge and invited us to this wonderful dance clinic.  Alexandra had a wonderful time and I was a little teary eyed seeing my baby's first dance performance!  She started Kindergym a few weeks ago and she will hopefully get to perform in a recital with them in May.  Hannah is in her class too and seems to enjoy it very much.  I will try to post the video of her dance but there are some technical difficulties.
