Adios Westridge...

Jacob graduated from Westridge Elementary today. It's weird to think that he'll be starting Junior High this fall. On to the next adventure I guess!

I know this is a strange picture, but I wanted to remember that Grandpa McRae was there too (he just had to leave a few minutes early)...

Sophie, Emma & Allie:

Mother's Day.

Yesterday morning I awoke to not one, but TWO Mother's Day treasure hunts. I'm lucky.

I will begin with Emma's.

So sweet! Thank you Emma. And thank you for not freaking out when your little sister decided to copy your idea and replicate your treasure hunt!

Now for Sophie's:

Happy Mother's Day to me! I love you kiddos!

Sophie's Baptism & Betsy's Baby Shower Weekend

Last weekend was BUSY. Not only did I co-host a fabulous baby shower for Bets, it was also Sophie's baptism.

On Friday evening we had Betsy's baby shower for little Charlie Green Santos. Here is Betsy showing off some of the adorable fashions she recieved:

This shower was "girls only"The Heywood sisters, pictured with "honorary" Heywood sister, Amanda :)The boys stayed far away from the baby festivities.
