Day at the Lake

On Sunday we took the dogs to the lake for a swim. We weren't sure what Zoey would think of the water, but we needn't have worried. She jumped right in & swam like a fish the whole afternoon.

Yay! Vava got it!
Zoey's turn...what a pro!

Someone found some MUD to occupy her time...

Resting after a tiresome day!

Rainy Day

Friday brought rain & chilly temperatures, so Lily & I made the best of the bad weather.

Luckily Thursday's mail had brought the perfect solution...Kate & Lauren sent Lily a fabulous 'Pink Princess' cookbook, so we started baking right away.

THANK YOU KATE & LAUREN!!
(As soon as she opened the package & saw what it was she ran straight outside to show her neighborhood friends what her cousins sent her. She was wildly excited to receive something from them!)


Cookie time!!

After we made cookies we decided it was time to relax & watch a movie snuggled up on the couch. We rented Cinderella III, which was really cute.What movie is complete without popcorn?!

Even the dogs stayed dry & relaxed together! These are some spoiled puppy dogs!

A Perfect Mother's Day

This year, Mother's Day was a perfect day for the whole family. The weather couldn't have been nicer & Mom got to take the day off :o)

I woke up to chocolate chip pancakes being made for me (my favorite!), and then after church, we were off to Maymont.

We had a beautiful picnic (packed by Daddy) & then went to visit the animals at the petting zoo. After we visited with the farm animals, we went to see the wild animals & then walked around the beautiful gardens & grounds at Maymont.

(Every time I went to take a picture, Lily would strike a pose...this was all her idea & if you look carefully she is doing it in almost every picture. What a ham!!!)
