Off to a good start!

2009 is off to a great start! We have been staying busy & having lots of fun!

Cathy came back to visit us! She was in town this week for training so we got to go out to dinner at McAllister's Deli! The girls had so much fun playing with her and I enjoyed some girl time catching up!

We had a fun playdate with cutie pie, Addie, and her mommy Crystie at Willowbend. The girls absolutely love Addie so it's always fun to meet up!

We hadn't played there in so long so the girls had a blast re-exploring!

Way Back WHEN-esday!

6.5 Months Old!

It's the little things in life...

...that make my girls smile!!

Yesterday afternoon was just beautiful and the girls were so excited when I asked them if they wanted to play outside!! Seems like it had been forever since we had spent some time in the backyard with all of this cold weather.

They loved playing on their fort, going down the slide, kicking their soccer balls, playing hide & seek and watching their new wind mills blow in the wind! What fun!

Oh, to be a kid again! I love the smiles on their faces & seeing how happy a simple afternoon outside makes them!!

They LOVED their wind mills and were fascinated watching them spin!

Way Back WHEN-esday!

I saw this cute idea of "Way Back WHEN-esday" on a friend's blog and loved it!

Here are my sweet girls in January 2008. Where have my babies gone??

Time with friends!

On Saturday, we met up with our good friends Cathy & Chris for lunch at Cheddar's. Cathy and I have been best friends since we were 7 years old! Her and Chris live in Indiana where Chris is getting his Masters at Notre Dame. It was so fun to see them & catch up over lunch!

We can't wait for them to move back to Texas hopefully this summer!

Happy New Year!

What a year 2008 was! Here are some things we will never forget...

1.) Roadtrip to Grandmaw Goolie's - What a wonderful time we had traveling to visit Grandmaw Goolie. It made her year to see all of her great grandchildren in one visit!



2.) March Snow Days! - Only in Texas is it 75 degrees on a Sunday and snows on Monday!



3.) Kaelyn's febrile seizure - By far the scariest day of my life and one I never want to relive. Praise God for no recurring episodes.

We were so thankful to see this smile again...



4.) First trip to the ZOO! - What fun! The girls LOVED seeing all of the animals in person and can't wait to go visit again!





5.) Kyle & Paige's Wedding! - We were so happy to be a part of their special day and I'm so thankful to add another sister to our family!




6.) Shae & Kaelyn's 2nd birthday! - Wow, how in the world are my babies already 2 1/2??




7.) Mama G & Papa G moved up here! - Mom/Dad sold their home in Spring to the first people who walked in. We are so thankful they are up here close to us now!










8.) Southern Junction with friends - Fun with friends on a Friday night with good food, great music and country dancing. Can't wait to go again!

9.) Pottytraining! - The girls said "Bye Bye" to diapers in August and have done so well! We are very proud of our big girls!



10.) Vacation For 2 To San Diego! - What a wonderful time away for Ryan & I! We enjoyed quiet dinners, sleeping in & time on the beach!




11.) First trip to the State Fair! - Definitely the first of many trips! Can't wait until next year!






12.) Girls first hair cut! - Hard to believe this was the first time to cut the girls' hair! They looked too cute after Ms. Katherine did her job!





Here's to a wonderful 2009! Can't wait to see what's in store for the Arrington's!
