It's May!

Around here lately...

We had sports fan day at school.  Clearly, only Olivia made a good choice that day.  

 Mike explaining the complicated strategy behind Hungy, Hungry Hippo to Evie.

 Ice Cream and playground time at McDonalds

 Everyone enjoying the exer-saucer we borrowed for Olivia.

 Basking under a beautiful blue sky on our very spontaneous trip to Balmorhea State Park

 Practicing her sitting skills

 Daddy and his girls taking a stroll around the pool.

We had quite a fun time at the park.  The girls were real dramatic about swimming in the spring-fed pool with all the fish.  

Then Mavery announced that she wanted to jump off the diving board.  So we walked over to the low spring board and she states, "No, I want to jump off THAT diving board", pointing to the 12 foot high diving board that goes into 25 ft. water.  Oh. Yea. Sure.

So, I made her jump off the little one first.

Counting it off with Daddy.

 

Then she climbed her little self up the high-dive

(telling me the whole time, "Mommy, I can do it ALL. BY. MYSELF!!")

 and after some encouragement from everyone at the pool and a few countdowns, there she went...

(and mommy almost lost her lunch....)

She's our little dare-devil for sure!

Very fun times with these two drama-queens
