Cash's 1st bank deposit

Not sure why we have not done this sooner but better late than never.  Cash has had a savings account for quite some time and because he has been mowing my parents place he has money to deposit.  I wanted him to learn how to fill out the deposit slip himself and it just so happened to be the same time he was learning about finances in school!

Fiesta at the Dominion

Dominion HOA had a Fiesta party at the Pecan Grove so while Ben was at a gig we headed over to see what kind of fun we could get into!  They had a carnival ride, snow cones, face painting, balloon characters, cotton candy, yummy food and for the adults...margaritas!  Fun for all to be had!  Cash had some friends from school there so he was happy and even happier when he saw his friend Carter there!  The Browns were there with Megan's parents so the boys got to hang out while the girls got to play for the first time.  Delaney just turned 5 which is hard to believe!  They had a great time together and Emma even went on the "carnival ride".

Ben's 42nd birthday

I have no idea why I have not one picture from Ben's actual birthday!  Ben does and has always wanted his birthday to be low key...a low key "birthday week"!!  We did get him a massage, a few tees and shorts.  He has to be the hardest person to buy for but he has always been the giver and prefers no gifts.Emma, the not so good secret keeper that she is, had pretty much let the cat out of the bag about everything we got him!  It was so funny listening to her tell him without realizing she was telling him. Emma and I met him for lunch at La Gloria and that evening my parents joined us at Pappadeauxs for a birthday dinner!!   We wish you nothing but the most special, joy filled, successful year possible!  God blesses us beyond comprehension and we always thank Him for you specifically.  You are truly God sent Ben McPeak!  We love you!!

Kinder Round-up at Leon Springs for Emma

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I could lie and say really positive things about the fact that Emma is now old enough to go to kinder and will in the Fall of 2018 BUT.....I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!  I laugh (sometimes with tears) that she will be starting kinder in the Fall but its fair to say I am devastated!  It has been an absolute pleasure to have my sweet Emma home with me 85% of the time.  She is only at pre-k two days a week and not even for a full day.  I think kinder will be a transition for her but then again she could totally surprise me!  She does that from time to time!

Of course she wanted to wear a dress to kinder round-up and be "super fancy"!  She looked so beautiful as usual!  Cash went with us and was able to take her on the tour of the school along with his good friend Caden.

Emma got to meet the kinder teachers and there is one that I am really hoping she gets.  Mrs. Socha has come highly recommended, as they all have, but even students have talked about her.  So I did send an email to Mrs. Espinoza the principal sharing Emma's personality with her...in the hope that it places her in Mrs. Socha's class.  I feel like whoever she gets she will be just fine.  Emma is studious and loves to learn!

I plan on taking in every moment of the summer before school starts.  I have been blessed to have the time with Emma that I have but now its time for a new chapter.  Do great things sweet girl.....we know you will!

Easter 2018

Easter started for us at the club for Easter brunch and an Easter egg hunt!  My mom joined us and my dad stayed home as he wasn't feeling well.  It was such a beautiful day!  We ate and then headed out for the egg hunt.  First we took pics with the Easter Bunny!  Emma was so excited!!  Cash of course went a long as if he still believes for his sisters sake!  He loves to see her believe although could do without the Easter Bunny pics!

The night before we put out apple juice and carrots for the Easter Bunny as you know that is his/her meal of choice!  After the kids went to bed the Easter Bunny showed up and left some pretty great baskets for the kids!

The next morning the kids got up at 6am!!!!!  Cash doesn't believe anymore but he still gets excited!  He woke E up and they headed for the living room to find some eaten carrots, almost an empty glass of apple juice and their Easter baskets!

A different post but Cash got a cell phone for Easter.  I think I tried taking video instead of pictures...none the less he was SUPER excited and surprised!

The next morning we headed to church which was held at the Square in Boerne.  There were so many people!  It was a great service!  There were some kids baptized at the end and though I don't think a child can decide, in most cases, what that really means for them it was a beautiful thing to witness.  I did see a few older kids that were very moved by their experience!  It got me thinking.....

Andy joined us and the Leavelle's were there so we headed for lunch after.  It was a great day!

Spring Break 2018

Our spring break was so uneventful I have no pictures outside of Emma at Altitude and the shops at the Rim.  Cash is at the age of not wanting to be anywhere around a camera and I apparently take so many pics Emma is starting to get annoyed when I pull out my phone.  HA!  Caden joined us at Altitude and for dinner!  We stayed around the house for the most part.  We did end the week at Rochelle's 35th Great Gatsby party which was a BLAST!
