Travelin' days!

Janet, Danielle(the baby), Jessica (the middle/golden child)

I loooooove this pic my mom took of us!!! I loooove my sisters too!! We don't get to all be together that often, so it's special when we do! Danielle is with me for a week and a half! So...I have a built in babysitter!!! YAY! haha! jk Danielle!

Natalie in her swimsuit...she didn't even get in the water...scaredy cat!

Natalie at Chuck E Cheese. She was afraid of that green bug in the background...but liked the fire truck. It looks like she's riding a motorcycle. And...I promise her hair was fixed...even though itdoesn't look like it...

Me & my girl. Sooooo cute!

My piano after hours of dusting & oiling it! I love it!

They got to play it before I even did! haha! (this was before I dusted it & oiled it). I truly believe this is the best $75 I ever spent! We love it! It is a Hamilton (made by Baldwin). I'm thinking it was made circa 1920...maybe older. The keys all look amazing...just needs tuning!

Day at the park with the Chisums! This was our last day of me keeping them this spring! We are already missing "nandler & Bwynn" (Chandler & Brynn). Here are Cole & Chandler talking on the "phone"

"Hi Nandler!"

"I think he said he's my friend!"

"Um...Janet...It's hot! Please make sure you put sunscreen on me this time and NOT diaper cream!"

How old are you Natalie? "Five!" (and this is what she showed me!) I don't know why she thinks shes she's five, but if you tell her that she's one, she says, "Oh, one" and holds up one finger!

Hello tree!

Strange Chuck E. Cheese ride :)

Taking a walk in the trees and the farm :) she was too scared to go by herself so "bubba" held her hand! And of course Tank and Daisy protected them!

Cole's Great Granny (I call her Grandma) reading him "The Little Engine That Could". They have a VERY special relationship...he loves her soooo much! He can't wait to give her hugs every time he sees her! And...surprise surprise...Natalie is the same way now! We had to give Granny a few hugs when we left!

We went to Cedar Park for Alyssa's (my cousin) graduation. She graduated from Georgetown and is going to Texas Tech in the fall! We are VERY excited!!! A LOT of Schwertners stayed at my Aunt Suzanne's house and it was a blast! It's always good to visit with them! The kids were great...except the day Natalie didn't get a nap. She SCREAMED BLOODY MURDER for about 30 minutes before bed. I felt bad because she's not usually like that! (ok...NEVER like that!) Cole had a great time and hung out with the boys a lot...even learned a new phrase..."What's up DAWG?"

We then went BACK to Lubbock (Wilson) for a few days. The kiddos rode the tractor and played outside a lot. They love my parents...so it's always relaxing for me when I visit! Danielle came home with us and now we are hoping to spend many days at the pool! We have a busy summer...next weekend I will take Danielle back to Wilson and we will celebrate my great uncle's move from our diocese to another (he's a priest). Then on June 29th I go BACK to Lubbock to watch Eclipse (well..Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse all in the same theatre!). The weekend of July 10th we have a family reunion in Georgetown...haha! And then the first week of August we are going to the mountains! (hopefully!) Phew!
