Summa time is here!!

Summer time started off with a bang this year..  we had lots of lake fun with good friends, good food and good times!
My baby girl is loving the tube this year...she is actually getting a little too brave for her own good by trying to ride with the big kids.
Nana's birthday was over the weekend so we spent some time with she and Aunt T in Hot Springs.
The night before we got a style show like no other...these three love to dress up and put on a show...nana describes the latest styles they are wearing while they walk the runway in my old costumes and flower girl dresses.
We started the day off with lunch at our favorite local spot Newks and then went on to Mid-America museum. Nana will all four granddaughters.. poor baby J just doesn't show up to well..
Always have fun with a three way mirror..


nana and the kiddos..
even baby J made an appearance!!
The next day we were greeted with an extra guest at the condo which made for 3 silly geese for the day!   It would not go away and just stood and stared at the girls forever.

 That night while dad and B went to play with friends AB and I went to her FIRST EVER concert!  Zendaya from the disney channel was at magic springs and thanks to our wonderful birthday gift from G we were able to go!!  She had a blast..
 even in spite of all the rain.  I can't wait to take her to many more!
We came back that night to find B having a blast and playing with those crazy Gentry boys.
All dressed up and ready to swim...so glad to have a babysitter this summer that has kept the girls busy with all kinds of activities while I am at work. 
Sweet cousins..B even got her first hit during this game.  She was our pinch hitter til the rest of the team showed up and Mitch thought I was crazy went I sent her out but sure enough she got a first base hit!!  Now when it came time for second base she opted out and went straight for 3rd...but hey beginners can't have all the luck.  She did great and I was so proud of her for actually trying to hit the ball.  After the game these two opponents got together for some big time hugs!
 Nicki is always so great to take pictures at all the games to send to me.  I really appreciate having two great grandparents that are so involved with these kiddos!



 
A little pep talk before the game.
The next day we headed back to the lake and to a birthday party on the water.  AB even got to sneak in a fun tube ride with the Ralph boys.
On Sunday we had the first shower for our cousin Lindsey who is getting married and this was the first chance the girls had to try on their dresses.  They fit perfectly!!
All the Fowler girls together again!

End of school...start of SUMMER!

I can't believe another year has come and gone!  The girls both had such a great year with their teachers and their friends.  I am so proud of both of them because of all the wonderful things they have learned throughout the year.  It is a joy to see their little minds working like seeing AB writing full paragraphs and reading books all by herself.  B knows so many of her letters and numbers now and she is doing so well with her language skills.  It was a great year but we are ready for summer now!  Momma especially...here are the last few days of school.
 
Teacher's gifts for both the girls.

That weekend we spent time in Hot Springs and even made a stop at the farmers market.  We found some of pop's honey for sale!
And even took a dip in the lake!

B got to go to her first birthday party for a friend from school and she was so excited.  Hallie is her best buddy and they were so cute together! 
Later that weekend we stopped by Mason's birthday party in LR for some fun in the sun and snow cones!
A little tball was on the agenda for the start of the summer
The pixie chicks had a great season this year.. they went almost undefeated.
The next week was B's last week at Michelle's and she was so sad to leave.  We have loved every second of our time with both girls and Mrs. Michelle.
The whole gang minus one or two..B, Hallie, Mazie, Bella, Cynthia, Hayes


Later that day we took Bobo to lunch for his birthday and he was such a good sport...the girls were so excited to see him in the sombrero. 
The girls and their Bobo...they sure love him!
Now let's get ready for summer!
