We took a trip to the pet store.

The girls spent a lot of time playing and enjoyed eating together.

Melissa’s husband is a pilot, he let us know they were going to be doing drills.  We took the girls out to the air base to watch the jets, we ended up seeing several fly by.

We had pizza/movie night.  We made pizzas from scratch and watched Tangled.  Katie Lynn’s new favorite movie.

All four of our girls hanging out on the couch.

We even got a picture of the two of us together.

We finished our visit by taking a trip to the park.  Aren’t they so cute!!

They are 3 months apart in age.

These two were 2 peas in a pod.  It was amazing how much they were alike.

They are just a day apart in age.

The trip home was very uneventful…thank goodness.  We had a great time.

We saw a ton of trains throughout the whole trip, the girls would call them out and talk about whose side the train was on.

The girls LOVE to dance!!!

Our friends came to visit, the 3 big kids got along great!!

My mom offered to take the girls to an indoor Safari Park down in Southlake. The girls had a lot of fun playing in the play area and riding on the train.

Their favorite was jumping!!

Monica and the girls went over to visit Great-Grammy Rose.

Sunday: We started off the week by going to Lauren and Madison’s birthday party.  It was at Pump-it-up and everyone had a great time.

Monday: First day of VBC, here is Katie Lynn in front of her class for the week and another one of her finding her place during the big celebration time.

Tuesday: Day 2, it is crazy hair day and t-shirt day.  I got to stay for a minute today and watch Katie Lynn do some dancing during the songs.

Moving, dancing and singing!

Craft of the day: Panda Ears

We took the girls out to get some shaved ice, something cool to do in this hot hot weather.

I think Karyn ended up with more on her than in her.

Wednesday: Day 3, Backwards day.

Tonight we went out to meet up with some of Tom’s family.  Tom’s Great Aunt Fran was in town to visit so we were able to go and meet her for dinner.

Love this picture of Miss Lauren!

Thursday: Day 4..guess it was a slow day.

Friday: Day 5, crazy sock day!

Someone was very tired…Katie Lynn said “mommy, I want to go home and take a nap” (9:00am)

The end of a wonderful week!

Saturday: The girls had a play date with their friends.  The girls got to play outside while the adults got to catch up

My little butterfly…

To end the week, Monica got to get away and go to a friends wedding shower and catch up with one of her good friends, Michelle.  Congrats to Jennifer and her fiancee, can’t wait till the wedding.

We had another busy week and we are looking forward to a much slower paced week this week.

We left at 4:30am so that both Katie Lynn and Karyn would sleep in the car. Surprisingly, they did just that!

First stop in Lubbock — Monica’s old school.

After a quick bite to eat and a drive by our old house (no comment on the changes the new owners have done.. ), we headed over to my old job to visit my old coworkers.

After a ride around Lubbock and a couple unsuccessful visits to Katie Lynn’s old doctors, it was time to check in at the hotel.

For dinner Friday night, we headed over to 50th Street Caboose to meet a group of friends.

After dinner and a few games, we went back to one of the couples’ house.

Most of the kids: Katie Lynn, Karyn, Colin, Easton, Emma Kate.

Once the kids were all tired, it was back to the hotel for a good night’s rest.

Saturday morning we went to breakfast with the same group of people from Friday night.

After breakfast, we stopped by to see Wade, Brooke, and Kyler at their new house.

Next we had lunch with our friend Chris from college, his wife Tiffany and their son Eli. Amazingly, even though we’d never met Tiffany, it seemed like we’d been friends all along! The wonders of blogs.

After lunch, we headed down to the Tech campus and the nearby spirit shops. We met Monica’s friend Leigh Ann to meet her baby boy.

Karyn, Monica, Leigh Ann, & Brogan

Next up was meeting Larry, Janae, and Lani for dinner. Afterwards, we went back to their house so that Katie Lynn and Lani could play together.

Pretty sure Katie Lynn taught Lani some bad habits..

All smiles at the hotel after a long Saturday

On Sunday morning, we went to the Tech campus to take some pictures, but it was too windy and cold so we decided to go to Starbucks.

We braced for a long trip back to McKinney since both girls would be awake.. but to our surprise, they were both VERY good in the car! They started getting a little restless the last 30 minutes or so. We’ll take that!

Bye bye Lubbock!

Katie Lynn and Mommy on the Merry-go-round.  She enjoyed it for the first half and then wanted off the 2nd half.

Katie Lynn was giving R some hugs,  he thought it was really funny.

Here is Megan and Monica.  We are about 3 weeks apart in our due dates. 

R took KL hand and was walking her through the mall.  It was so cute, he would change direction and just pull her along.  So sweet.

It was good to get out and have some fun with some good friends.  We have enjoyed having this pregnancy together and can’t wait for our newest little ones to meet.

I had some free time over Spring Break and have really gotten back into my sewing.  Since I know about 12 of my friends that are pregnant, I have made some more taggies.  I just love these things!!

Also, over the break, some friends came in from Lubbock.  I met up with them at the mall.  I sure do miss my Babineux clan. The kids have gotten so grown up and it was great to catch up with Andi. 

Today marks 17 weeks pregnant.  I remembered to take a photo this morning, or at least have Tom take one of me…..KL was trying really hard to be in the photo.

We started off by going to a birthday party on the 10th, Katie Lynn’s little friend was turing 1! The kids had such a good time and liked to chase each other.

The next day we got to go out with Kim, Ryan and their girls.  We had fun catching up and just getting together.  Once again Katie Lynn is not thrilled to be taking pictures….but here is one of the girls anyways.

The next weekend came up pretty fast, my good friend Michelle was getting married! At the last minute Tom and I decided to leave Katie Lynn with Wrigley….at Tom’s folks house. (of course, not by herself) It was a hard decision but we were driving so far in such a short time and we wanted to be sure we could do all there was for the wedding.  We dropped Katie Lynn and Wrigley off at Grandma and Heypa’s and then we headed down to Fredericksburg.  It was hard to leave her but knew it was best. 

We were able to go to the rehersal dinner, enjoy a night of sleep and then wedding stuff all the next day.  It was a lot of fun to enjoy the time with Michelle and her hubby to be.  I enjoyed getting to spend Saturday with Michelle and I was really glad we got to be there for her big day.  She was beautiful!

Katie Lynn’s friend Lani came all the way in from Lubbock to visit her.  We all got to catch up and it was a lot of fun.  Larry and Janae were really here to visit their neices for the first time and we were so excited that they made some extra time to come see us.  It was nice to visit and have the girls play. 

We also got some pictures of Katie Lynn standing and being silly.

A bunch to run together but wanted to share it all! I should feel much more rested in about 4 weeks and hopefully there will not be another 10 day drought on our blog.

As funny as this sounds, we think it’s been easy for Katie Lynn because she was gone for two weeks as well as the fact that her friend Bridget also got transitioned to the new room within the last two weeks. Those two little girls are two peas in a pod.. they’re so cute together!

Speaking of Bridget, Katie Lynn (along with Monica and I) went to Bridget’s first birthday party on Sunday. We had a great time and were appreciative that Bridget’s parents thought of us.
