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.

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.

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.

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.
