Tee Ball Fun!

Snapdragon had a great first season of tee ball!  Go Rams!  Thanks to the Holy Rosary Men's Club for a great end of the season picnic!

T-Ball

Snapdragon is enjoying t-ball! The coach is doing an awesome job and is very patient with the little ones! It was hot today, though!

Busy Week

It has been a busy week!  We started off with Confirmation and then had dress rehearsal for the first Holy Rosary Dance Academy recital. Snapdragon had her first t-ball practice and Grandma and Grandpa toured Buttercup's new high school.  They also stopped in to have lunch with Snapdragon at school.  Buttercup had her flute concert on Thursday and we just finished the week with the dance recital!

Wow!  A fun and busy week!  So glad my Mom and Dad were here to share it with the girls. 

Confirmation

Buttercup received the Sacrament of Confirmation on April 30 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Memphis.  It was a beautiful ceremony.  May the Lord bless and keep her.  May the Holy Spirit guide her. May she be clothed in love.

Happy Easter!

We enjoyed our annual tradition of attending the Easter Vigil last night.  This was our first at Holy Rosary. It was a beautiful Mass with a lot of people receiving the sacraments.  The girls looked beautiful in their dresses, both recycled from last year.  It was amazing they both still fit.  I guess they have both reached a growing plateau!

Snapdragon woke early, drooling at the eggs in the backyard.  She had to wait an hour and a half before her teenage sister was ready to join in the egg hunt.  The girls enjoyed their Easter goodies and a quiet day at home doing yard work, other chores, and relaxing.  I can smell the yummy ham and sweet potatoes cooking! Looking forward to some more relaxing time after dinner and then it is work, work, work tomorrow. I have my first Holy Rosary Dance Academy Recital to finish preparing for and my two summer dance camps! 

Dress!

Buttercup and I found this beautiful dress at a charity dress sale at St.Agnes Academy (her high school) this weekend.  We only paid ten dollars!  It is a beautiful eyelet dress with satin trim.  She is very excited about her upcoming Confirmation and 8th grade graduation.

Happy 5th Birthday, Snapdragon!

Snapdragon had a week of celebration!  On Sunday, Feb. 5 with celebrated her birthday as a family and opened all of her family gifts.  We made cupcakes and a special cake.  On Tuesday, Feb. 7 (her real birthday) she took her special cupcakes to school and shared them with her friends.  Last night, we had a double party with her friend Gracen and invited all of their classmates.  The party was at The Little Gym and everyone had a great time tumbling, running, climbing, jumping and playing!

I can't believe my baby is already five. Many fun years to ahead!  Kindergarten here we come!

Love you, Snapdragon!
