What a Wonderful Weekend!

I am really getting used to this "family time on the weekend" thing. This past one was a whopper! We had a nice long visit from Lisa and we packed lots of fun into three days.
The girls' dance recital was Friday night. It was great to see all those hours of lessons pay off. They did awesome. Click on over to my sister's blog for much better photos of the event. She was the official photographer.
Aunt Lisa and her girls....

Saturday morning, the fun continued with a HUGE surprise for Avery. We were blessed to be given a horse by a friend of Gus's. He went and picked it up and we brought Avery out blind folded to see what we had for her. The look on her face was priceless! It truly was a dream come true!

Getting to know each other. Jasmine (she came named, but it was perfect!) was enjoying a nice cool bath at her new home.

Lisa and I went antique shopping in Wildwood that afternoon and Sat. evening we all went to see Toy Story 3. It was great, but bittersweet in the end. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about, if not - I won't ruin it for you.
Sunday was Father's Day and we spent some time honoring our sweet Daddy, Gus. Avery and I made him this mug at Amazing Glaze. Avery picked out the Gator theme. One side has a "G" and the other side says "Fear the Swamp." He loved it!
I know every weekend can't be this fun, but it's so nice to have some time off work that just a simple weekend at home will probably still feel just as great to me!

Meagan's Graduation

Last Thursday night, we celebrated Meagan's Preschool Graduation. It was a great year at a wonderful preschool and although she's done there, Hunter is right behind her and will start there in August. We are so blessed to have been a part of such an excellent program.

The whole gang - all dressed up.....

Congrats!!

We were so blessed that some special friends were able to come support Meagan's achievement. Thanks, Aunt Sam, Emma, and Maddie!

The gorgeous cake that Aunt Hannah made in honor of the event

The assistant teacher in Meagan's class - Mrs. Kadi (the funny thing is, I used to babysit her!)

So proud of this little girl!

We've been through alot this year including self hair cuts, learning how to obey and get along with others (even when they're not the nicest), how to write our name and lots of great songs. Most of all, it was a success in terms of her allergies. Her teachers all did an excellent job in keeping her safe and that is priceless to me!
