Memorial Day


Rebecca! Not sure why she's holdings popcorn


Last week we celebrated her pre-k graduation!


Rebecca and Claire


We are so proud of our girl! I can't remember what we were talking about recently but Rebecca said, "Well, that was before I was a graduate." :)


Ms. Sabrina! Rebecca also had her kindergarten screening last week. I got to talk to the lady who tested her for a little while and she said as soon as they got into the library Rebecca started whispering and took the whole thing very seriously. And she did great. Thank you Ms. Sabrina!!


Last weekend we got to visit the Bentons and see our friend Barnes. So cute!


This weekend we planned to go to Kure beach but Matt had meeting on Friday until 3 and it was supposed to rain Saturday and Sunday so we decided to stay home in stead. It was so nice! We had breakfast at Stratford Station


And got to watch a bike race! The Winston Salem Cycling Classic was this weekend and one of the races came right through our neighborhood. So cool!


We went to the lake!


And met the Anders later in the day and had super at Hillbilly Hideaway. Family style country cooking and live bluegrass music


Laura and Charlie! One for the wedding video


Shake and Bake! On Sunday the Combs came to visit!


So many cute kids! We also had Oma and Camden and Alison over and Oma kept all of them Sunday night. Superwomen. Also Alison found a neck pillow and just started wearing it around. I love it so much.


Pool!

Mother's Day


Laura!


We had big Mother's Day weekend!! Ira came into town from Minneapolis and we got to go to a Dash game. It was Fireworks Friday and the girls got to run the bases!


Crazy girls! On Saturday Matt took the girls to Mary Wren's birthday party.


And I got to go to Maria's shower! We can't wait to meet Korabelle!!


Sweet Cousins! On Sunday we had everyone over to celebrate.


The weather was so good


"Mom! This is you. Your legs are very long." It's a good thing she's so cute. When we were having dinner on Sunday after everyone left Laura told me she loved Rebecca and Daddy to 100 and she loved me to 15. Thanks.


The weekend before last we got to visit Jarrett at his farm.


We also got to go to Reynolda House for picnic.


I love this weather!!


Seedlings


This past weekend we planted the little sunflowers we started at Jarrett's. There may have been a lot of rain/hail since then. Hopefully they will make it!


Three Musketeers!

Disney


Rebecca!


We just got back from Disney World!


It was so much fun!!


I thought it would be fun to go because the girls would enjoy it but didn't really expect to enjoy it so much myself.


We stayed at the Art of Animation hotel. It's the cheapest place to stay at Disney (one of my friends likes to call it the Myrtle Beach of Disney World). There were definitely some tatted up people staying there but it was perfectly fine. Everything was new and bright.


There was a Finding Nemo playground


And swimming pool!


We spent the first day at Magic Kingdom and got to meet so many princesses


Here we are at Enchanted Tales with Belle. So cute!


The next day we went to Hollywood Studios and saw the Disney Jr. Live show


Rode Toy Story Midway Mania (my favorite ride of the whole trip!)


Had lunch with the Disney Junior characters


And sang in the Frozen sing-a-long!


The next day we went back to Magic Kingdom and met Ariel


And rode It's a Small World. When we got done Rebecca said, "That was very, very awesome!"


We rode the monorail to the Contemporary and had lunch at Chef Mickey's


Pretty girl. I packed pipe cleaners for the girls to play with while we were riding the bus and waiting and in line and they turned out to be a huge hit.


Roger's eyes! That night we got Dole Whips. These were also a huge hit.


The next day we went to Epcot


So pretty! We got so lucky and had great weather all week


We had lunch with the princesses at the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall


Went on a scavenger hunt with Agent P


And got snacks for super from all around the world. Here we are in Morocco. I didn't get any pictures but we also stayed for the fireworks.


Such a fun trip!
