Our Little Gymnast

Bella has started gymnastics! She has now had 2 classes and seems to really enjoy it. I know I'm enjoying watching her. In this class Terry and I get to participate with her. They always start with a song to get the kids warmed up and then they have about 3 different gymnastic "obstacle" courses set up for the kids to go through. From the first time to the second Bella was already doing better remembering to tuck her head to flip and she was actually getting her feet off of the trampoline. This week they blew up the slide from her birthday party and she loved playing on it again. I'm pretty sure that is her favorite part. It's so fun to see her at gym!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day this year was nice and laid back. We started out the day with the Diva in her pool and sliding on her slide.

Daddy set it up so that her slide would go into her pool so she had a big time..... crown and all!

Early in the afternoon I got a text from Lesli asking if we wanted to go out on the boat. Of course we did!! Lucky for us they put the boat in right near our house so after nap time we met up and went for a ride.

Bella loves the boat and she loves to go fast. I think we may have a daredevil on our hands! She would stand in the seat and tell Buddy to "go fast!".

I'm not sure what the girls are doing here but I think it is so funny. I pulled Bella's outfit out to dress her after we got out and Lesli started cracking up because she had brought the same outfit for Lexi. Of course you can't miss that picture opportunity!

Those are some really cute girls!

Happy "Late" Memorial Day!!

Granny Richards turns 90

Last weekend we made a day trip up to Corsicana to celebrate with Granny Richards. She had a great party. Bella kept saying "happy day". She is good at birthday parties!

Meet the gang...

Saturday we went to Kidneypallooza to help raise money and show our support for our friends. Terry met Sam through soccer almost 10 years ago. I will never forget the night that Terry met Sam. He came home so excited about this awesome guy he had just met. He couldn't wait for me to meet him. Terry was right about Sam, he is one of those people that you just gravitate towards. He is an incredible guy. He has been on dialysis for about 18 years (give or take a year). He learned how to do his own dialysis so that he wouldn't have to go in and do it everytime. You would NEVER know that Sam has anything going on with him because he doesn't let it get him down. He and Lacye are two of the most positive people I have ever met in my life. To be honest, I'm not sure what has finally made Sam want (or need) to have a transplant but he is finally doing it and his is getting it from his precious wife. They had this fundraiser to help raise money for the procedure and recovery. The surgery is scheduled for just a few days from now so keep them in your prayers!

Our sweet friends Crystal and Donald. They made the trip down from Spring to Celebrate with the Trevino's.

Terry and I.

One of my favorite people, Crystal!
