Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day in Knoxville with Tyler's family. It was such a great weekend! Lots of playing, swimming, and eating. The girls absolutely love every second of every day there.
They love seeing everyone and playing with their cousins and all of their toys! :)
Morning pj time in the playroom...
Double guitars and the xylophone going...
LOTS of outside playtime!...





Rod pulling candy out of the girls ears :) Of course Miss literal Savannah said- "but I don't feel anything in my ears." 

Cute boy!


Fun visit from Grandpa...






These girls wore each other out! Nonstop all day. 

We went over to Uncle Jack and Aunt Lori's house for S'mores! All the girls love playing and exploring in the backyard. Sky loved her s'more and ate the whole thing. Savannah did not like being sticky and only ate one bite. She liked roasting marshmallows though!






Sleepin so good...
Headed home :( 
Skylar started getting a runny nose towards the end of our trip, and we had to turn around and wipe her nose the whole way home! I realized at one point that my passenger side view had been of Tyler's backside for almost two hours straight haha. Gotta love road trips with kids!
At least it's only 7-8 hours and they really do pretty good most of the time. 
This is a sign of a great weekend! TIRED worn out girls on the way home...

Therapeutic Riding

We have a local therapeutic horseback riding organization that does great work with kids with special needs. I had heard great things from some other parents, and we thought we would give it a try. Savannah had a BLAST! Skylar was a little less enthusiastic, but she loved talking about it after :) ...she liked talking about her horse Winston more than she liked riding him.
They have a giant pot belly pig that lives in the stables too...
Lovely helmets...
Savannah and her horse Duchess



Skylar was ready to be all done and wanted to walk around the farm...
Daddy and Savannah still riding...
Savannah wanted to know why she couldn't do jumps or go real fast on her horse!? Fearless. 
One day Savannah, One day...
Feeding Duchess a treat...

Little cutie! 

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day this year! Savannah invited me to my first Mother's Day Tea at her school. She was so excited for me to come to school so she could give me a surprise, and to sing me the special songs that they had been working on for a month. It was a special morning! The program was adorable and her teachers made some wonderful food for everyone. 
Before school...

A little pre-Tea recital... :)
My little girl that is not a baby anymore! 

Sitting on the carpet for our MD program...
All of the friends in her class made a book about how they helped their Mommy's.... 
Everyone but Savannah :)
