The light was great this morning. I got some great shots of the pool and the yard. The grass is green, the flowers are blooming. It's the best time of the year!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!
What a wonderful day! I woke up to a giant (about 2x2) card from Eric and the kids with a spa gift card inside. Then, we were off to the Scarborough Fair which is about 1hr15 min drive from the house (South of Dallas). It is a medieval theme fair and lots of people dress up; it's like taking a trip back in time. There are no mechanical rides. No A/C. The fair is only open in April and May. They have lots of greasy food and tons of things to buy. I turned down the pair of $70 homemade earring Eric was considering - lol!
We spent our first moments there watching a turtle show. They had a funny older gent pretending to be a superhero turtle racer. Lots of adult humor that Aiden didn't get, but he liked watching the turtles race.
I got so much joy out of seeing Aiden have fun. He loved everything! The only thing I wouldn't let him do that he wanted was to ride the elephant (too dangerous). I would say his favorite thing was the boat ride (see pic). It was so funny seeing this skinny employee push this giant boat swing full of 5 kids and 2 grown men. It was def. a job for the strong. He also enjoyed riding the "white horse" or llama.
Elly had a happy time just riding around in her stroller. It was a nice cool day (topped out at 72), so it was easy keeping her cool and content.
After the fun, we headed home, got some "ass cream" and mommy did some gardening. The kids had their bath and Aiden put on his cowboy hat and striped dog pjs and struck a pose on the stairs - need I say more?!
A mother couldn't ask for a better gift than 2 beautiful children. We are so blessed to have such a healthy, happy family. Today I was simply reminded of how lucky I am.

Fun In the Sun
We enjoyed a hot Texas day and had our first family day in the pool. (Eric and I went once a few weeks ago, but it was too cold for the kids.) Aiden is getting better and better with his swimming. Elly liked her boat and seemed thrilled with the whole pool concept. It was a nice day.

Look Mommy I Found My Balloon
Last night around 6:00, I heard Aiden say, "Look mommy I found my balloon!" I saw him looking up at the family room windows. I thought, wow did one of his old helium balloons from many months ago get stuck up there........... Then, he ran to the glass door and pointed and was screaming in excitement. I opened the door and there it was, a big Hot Air balloon! Aiden ran outside and yelled, "Look at the balloon! It's so beautiful! I can't reach it! It's James and the Red Balloon." (It takes a Thomas the Tank fan to understand that last comment). So, we made sure to take some pics of Aiden's beautiful balloon. Enjoy!
