a wonderful visit from Papy & Mamie

I thought I had posted these pics, sorry for the delay !

We were happy to have Christophe's parents visit us for a few days.  The kids were ecstatic to see them and enjoyed one on one time with Papy and Mamie !!

Papy and Mamie got them LOTS of new toys & they had hours of fun 

We went out to dinner at the Japanese Steakhouse and had a bast.

The kids always miss out on their grandparents' birthdays since we live so far ffrom each other so we
decided to plan a birthday dinner in their honor and pretend it was their birthday.  Adrien was so excited ! He helped decorate the house and I think Papy and Mamie were happy with the surprise.

We got to take Stella to her last Little gym class of the year & Christophe and Adrien were happy to finally see her in action.  

proud papa :)

proud maman :)

Stella loves to dress up in her new little dresses and loves walking around the house with the little princess heels...we kept hearing"clak clak clak" and a little squeal of delight :)

we got to go out to dinner twice with Christophe's parents.

fun night at Brewed in fort Worth, one of our favorite places to relax !

fun times in the pool !Adrien is such a good swimmer :)

if stella has a little "booboo" she needs a bandage right away ;)

We left Stella home asleep with a sitter and took Adrien to the rodeo in FT Worth. He was so proud to be with us and enjoyed every minute there.  Our cute little cowboy :)

we "fish sat" Martin & Chris, Jake and Brady's little fishes .  Adrien fed them every day.

a little fun and mess during dinner :) the kids loved being able to share simple moments with their grandparents!

Christophe got the super princess makeover :)

Super man and Dark Vader- the force is definitely with us :)

Stella loves copying her brother and enjoys jumping in the water...even more fun when papa is there to throw her in :)

big day for my babies !

Today was a big day for both Adrien and Stella. 

Adrien has his science day at school and got to present his volcano & lava eruption

 He added a tsp of baking soda, few drops of dishwashing soap and 1/2 cup of vinegar

 it foamed up and the lava came out....all the kids clapped and adrien was super happy and proud.

 He then showed a few pictures of real volcanoes erupting and explained the process:
"when there is too much pressure, the lava comes out and the volcano erupts" it was so cute to see him in action and explain everything so well !  I wish I had an extra hand to film him.  Stella sat by him and was very proud of him too :)

 then we rushed to the Little Gym for Stella's show class where we get to invite family and friends.  since all our family is away I invited Amber , Stella's godmother & one of my closest friend, to come and watch her.

 I missed my sisters and my mom this morning.  I can't help but wish sometimes that we could live closer ....  so It was so really nice to have Amber there -

Stella was very happy to share this moment with us ! When she first started little gym in October she was just starting to walk hesitantly...now she has grown into a spunky and confident little gymnist who enjoys running around the gym, roll and do tumbles, hold on to the bar and walk on the balance beam.

I am one proud momma of my sweet sunshine and little star !  So lucky !
