Torreon With Grandpa- June 2014

We spent a wonderful weekend up at "Papa's cabin" recently with Grandpa Gary and the girls. He is such a wonderful grandfather, never shorting on energy or attention for these kiddos! We enjoyed the much cooler weather and spent almost the entire time outdoors! Pure bliss. Thanks Grandpa!

 

 

 Grandpa finagled two golf carts for us to "toodle around".

 Peyla was thrilled to be behind the wheel for once.

 Next stop- playground!

 Freedom is swinging through the air!

 Peyla is able to use the bigger swings now.

 

 These two can play for hours together!

 Tire swing!

 Hanging out by the pond...

 we found a friend!

 My little crawdad.

 I introduced her to a dandelion...

 it held her attention for about 5 seconds!

 Climbing the hills outside Grandpa's cabin.

 "I'm the King of the world!"

 Grandpa's girls!

 "I'm the King of the world! Part Deux"

 My little thinker...wonder what's going through that beautiful mind...

 

 Don't know, I just loved this shot.

 Here comes the ice monster! A la Frozen!

 Aaaack! He's really good at this role!

Just because. :)

Rocky Point In May

Doing a little catch-up on the blog...we spent some time at Mimi's Beach House in Puerto Penasco in May. Mimi was gracious enough to host our little family and also Brendon's lovely parents as well. We all had a wonderful time as the weather was gorgeous and the girls were back at their beloved beach!

 

Peyla's 4th Birthday- Recap

We had a wonderful time celebrating Peyla's birthday with our closest friends and family! Since her birthday was on a Friday, we spent the day with our best Frigard girls at the splash pad and went to lunch at one of Peyla's spots. Then we partied at Chuck-E-Cheese on Sunday...all Peyla wanted to do was "go to chucky cheeeeeese and have an Elsa cake". She loved every minute of it and so did we!

 

 Waking up to her decorations and Elsa inspired attire.

She was so sweet that morning...she quietly

whispered to me, "thank you mama".

 Luckily I captured it on camera because she made my heart melt. As usual. ;)

 Her requested birthday dinner of pizza bites and peaches...

 Of course we had to stick a candle in there!

Opening prizes with her sissy. The elusive "Elsa purse"...sigh...

 Queen Elsa of Arendelle!  

 The mini family reunion at Chuck's!

 Dancing Queens.

 Peyla's big sisters. Love them!

 Chuck-E! It's amazing how much she loves that scrappy...er, CUTE character. lol

 A little guitar practice (her uncle would be proud)!

 Just waiting to dive in to the frosting!

 Family photo op.

 Best moment of the day! She was allowed one minute in the ticket booth. I thought for sure she'd freak out when the air blasted on, but no...not this kid. She was very smart as she stood still and let all of the tickets fly around here. Instead of going nuts, she just calmly plucked them out of the air...one by one. I cried from the laughter! It was classic Peyla.

 Pooped out from the party.

Ali and Olaf...ready for home. :)
