fun with the kids

 I took the kids to the Dallas Aquarium on Mother's day

 they were both captivated and Stella did not go once in the stroller, she wanted to explore and see everything with her big brother.

 checking the manatees out

 not the best self portrait of the 3 of us :) we had a fun lunch on the top floor of the aquarium though!

 and Adrien swam for the first time but the water is very cold

 Stella got her second haircut , first time in the hair salon .  She was super excited to be there and loves Andrea so it went very smoothly.

 fun morning at the park with our friends :)

 Adrien has to present a science project for school and he chose to make a volcano and
make lava come out of it

 applying plaster strips on it from bottom to the top

 after it dried the kids painted it

 Adrien touched it up after swimming the next day

 then he practiced mixing baking soda, dishwashing soap, and vinegar for the lava...it was so much fun just to practice:)

 we got to go to our friend's Asher's 3rd birthday on saturday who had an awesome pool party.

 and we spent sunday morning at the FW botanic gardens

 my little adventurers

 Stella was so excited , she was almost running instead of walking

 we passed by the japanese garden, the kids loved feeding the fishes

 a gentleman was kind to offer to take a pic of us

 monday morning workout ...after my workout Adrien said he had planned a workout for me, so he pulled out the ladder and made me work, Stella was excited & tried the workout too, I had to stop and take a pic...too cute :)

Stella is infatuated with her dolls she sleeps with the same one every night, and takes them everywhere with her.

such fun times!!

I never posted any pictures of the mud run so here are 2 pics 

  Amber and I right before the run

a group picture flexing our muscles :) let's GO !

 Stella loves drawing

 and she surprised me one day putting on lipstick on by herself...we will have to work on the application :) She also wants to wear earrings ...this is one girly girl :)

 Christophe decided to add another seating area , and the enxt weekend he did just that !
his two little helpers were happy to "lean a hand"

 he amazes me with the things he can do !!

 Stella's hair is growing & she likes piggy tails :) YAY !

 we met our friends at the park and three school bus pulled over...luckily Andrea came to the rescue and got all her baseball gear from her car.  The kids had so much fun playing TBall !

 Adrien liked to dress up as the catcher

 finished deck stained and all - BRAVO cricri :)

 we celebrated with drinks on the new patio :)

 Stella loves accessories even when we go to the park

 a little painting afternoon

 we visited the zoo last weekend and had such a relaxing day there !

 Stella loves Little Gym - she also loves her new leotard .

She loves the bar

 demonstrating the exercise for the class, Stella gets very serious when she applies herself,
she usually also puts her tongue out

 we were so proud of Adrien at his Taekwondo belt test

 warming up

 listening to the rules

 before the test

 during the test :) He got very serious and into it :)

 Adrien receiving his first belt

It was an awesome night !! Good job Adrien !
