April..

Since I have sucked at blogging lately, I’m going to go ahead and do one post for the whole month of April. I will probably do a separate post about this coming weekend later because Caroline has a dance performance on Saturday and our we’re going to watch our niece in the Miss Helotes pageant on Sunday.

We dyed eggs a few days before Easter.

We got the pool out at the beginning of April also.

It was a little chilly.


Jake wanted to get in on the action too.

On Good Friday we headed to Houston to visit family and go to the Astros home opener. We found Caroline street in downtown Houston. Caroline kept asking where Mommy Street was.



On Easter Sunday, we stopped at the beach in Galveston for a few hours before heading back home to see what the Easter bunny brought and hunt eggs.




We went to a Round Rock Express game with some friends. We sat on the grass by the playground and had a lot of fun.

We went to visit some friends in San Antonio last weekend.

Friday Phone Dump..

I know that I still need to blog about Easter weekend and everything else we've been up to, but here is a dump of pictures from my phone in the meantime.

We went to my coworker's wedding on April 1.
 

We went to Houston for the Astros home-opener.

While we were in Houston, we went to a crawfish boil..I didn't eat any.

Caroline got into some finger paint and got it all over the place!

We had a garage sale last weekend.

We went to the Round Rock Express game and sat in the grass.

Caroline’s Princess Party..

I’m so behind on blogging..sorry about that.

We had Caroline’s birthday party on March 31st..her actual birthday. To be honest, I like having the party on a day other than her actual birthday because then we can do something special with just us for her actual day.  well, it was fun anyway.

I’ve mentioned before, but we ended up doing a joint birthday party with her friend that is 5 days younger. It was nice doing a joint party because it was someone else to help make decisions and shop with..and it was also someone else to split the cost with. We did separate invitations because we didn’t want people to think they had to bring an extra gift for a kid they didn’t know. Everything turned out great and all the kids had a blast.

We did the playscape for her birthday, but we still got her a small gift to open when she woke up on the actual day.

Mario went out and got her a donut with pink icing and sprinkles.

We had the party at the Children’s Park in San Marcos. It’s a great location and the huge wooden playscape is awesome. We rented the gazebo and it had 4 picnic tables under it. It was a little hot and there were some pools of water from rain that we had earlier in the week, but it was a beautiful day otherwise.

We used Kimberly’s Kakery again and she didn’t disappoint!

We rented a boucy castle that had an obstacle course and slide inside..it was a big hit.


Caroline and her friend wore matching dresses..but we didn’t get many pictures of them together..they were too busy running around.

We found the perfect piñata tree.

Candy!

Birthday girls ready to blow out candles.


My sister-in-law set up a candy bar for us as party favors. (She is available for hire)

You can see part of the park in this picture.

We let some balloons go for Janel.

We opened presents when we got home..Caroline LOVED everything! I really need to get on the ball with the thank you notes.

Caroline had a great birthday and I still can’t believe that she’s 3!!

She's 3!!

I have been a terrible blogger lately..sorry about that.

Miss Caroline turned 3 this past Saturday and had her 3 year well visit today. She is 35lbs (90%) and 39.5 inches (95%). She’s still big..she towers over her friends. She wears size 4T, though I’ve noticed that a lot of the new 4T bottoms I have been buying are a little big. I might dig out the 3T shorts to see if we can use those again. She wears a size 10 shoe. She has thinned out a lot over the past year!

Here are some highlights of her 3rd year.
