Catching up!

Life has been busy lately - between play dates, beach trips, children's clothing shows and more - I have to admit I am getting very excited about school starting the week after next and getting everyone back on schedule! I know we will continue to be busy (so is life with little ones and somewhat of a social life!) but at least there will be structure! Just to catch up - here are some pictures I found on my camera from the past few weeks!

Rhodes checking out her friend, Webb! Webb lives on our street and his mama, Molly and I have been great friends since we were only a little bit older than these two! (and we lived about the same distance from eachother growing up!) He is such a cutie and Rhodes was smitten with him and "talking" to him from the minute he got there. :)
Already making eachother laugh...what little flirts!
Ali also had a date with her boyfriend, Bennett to the movies! The Strand Theatre is an old theater on the Square that has recently been renovated and re-opened! It was such a great experience to go up there with our fun friends the Tidwells - Ali and Bennett loved watching Curious George together and eating popcorn and Rhodes and Beau were such troopers too - Rhodes even slept through most of the movie! The theater was jam packed full of young kids we knew so that was nice too so I didn't have to worry about talking, crying, etc. They even had a cute old timey sing-a-long to start it off with most of Ali's favorite songs - she was in heaven! Little things like this make me love our community!



Even better - when we left, we got Ryan to walk over and meet us for lunch on the square!

Since our first trip to the Munchkin movies was such a hit, we were excited to try it again and this time Libby, Brittain and Emily, Stephanie and Little Mimi were in town to go with us! Unfortunately, the babies were not in the mood to watch The American Tail, but the big girls were great!! Ali and Libby even left in the middle of the movie with us without one complaint!! Here's a picture of Ali and Libby to prove we were there -minus the babies and Little Mimi who was such a trooper and stayed through the whole movie - even after we left! (You may notice a theme throughout these pictures of Ali's latest "Cheeeeese" face)
We took a trip yesterday to go see Memama, Aunt Renee and Aunt Rhonda! We had a great visit and a delicious lunch - wish we saw them more often! Here are a few pictures from our visit...

Rhodes and her Memama (meeting for the first time!)

After visiting Memama, we headed to a first birthday party for our friend, Ashton! Ashton's mom and I went to high school (well, and college, middle school, elementary school) together and it was fun celebrating a 1st birthday party of our next generation of friends! Unfortunately, we did not get a picture with the busy birthday boy - but here is a picture of me and the girls with two of my oldest friends - Katherine (Kiki) and Caroline and Molly and Webb! I am so excited to have a picture with these girls to show our little ones when they are our age one day! I cherish these old, dear friendships and know my girls will too!

Ali starts ballet class at our church the week after next! We (Ali and I, especially) are so excited about it - we had so much fun today going out together after church to pick out her outfit! Ali kept telling me she wanted something "sparkly". Unfortunately, the ballet outfit that we were supposed to get - did not come with sparkles, so we got a skirt to wear with it to add a little pizazz! :) Our future little ballerina...Showing us her moves already!


I can't believe she is old enough to be wearing real ballet slippers! I love having little girls and am enjoying every second of these fun, girly things!
