Father's Day

Since we are so blessed to live close to both mine and Scott's parents now, we had the pleasure of enjoying 2 Father's Day meals this year. Saturday night we met my parents at Riscky's BBQ in downtown Fort Worth for some all-you-can-eat ribs. We did miss having Amy (my sister) and her husband along this year though since they recently moved to Tennessee. After taking a few family pics around Sundance Square, we came back to the house and enjoyed some silly entertainment from Avery and Kendall. They both decided to put on leotards and were doing all kinds of silly poses, dances, and tricks. Then on Sunday we met Scott's family at Kincaid's burgers after church. We both really enjoyed spending some special time with our Fathers this year on (or close to) their special day. And this post wouldn't be complete without saying a special thank you to my wonderful husband who is the absolute best Daddy in the world!!!

4 year and 2 year portraits

Over Memorial Day weekend we had Avery's 4 year and Kendall's 2 year portraits taken by my friend Kerri at the Grapevine Botanic Gardens. It's a great little spot for pictures with pretty grass, beautiful flowers, benches, rocks, a pond and more. I convinced Scott to be in some of the pictures too. I told him it was so he could have some of him and the girls for the office-- which was true, but i wanted to do something special with the pics for Father's Day. I framed 3 of the pics and then made something called a photo panel on the Creative Memories website. It stands up like a frame, but the whole front surface is just a big photo that you can add text and other things to. It turned out great and I already gave it to Scott, so it was safe to go ahead and mention it. Here are some of my favorite pics of the girls.
