Easter Picnic at TDC

This past Saturday, The Door Church hosted a fun, family picnic and Easter egg hunt on the lawn of our church. We had SO much fun eating and playing with friends.... Eleanor had the best time and it COMPLETELY wore her out! From the bounce houses to the hunt, she was all about it!

Daddy wore Tripper boy for the first little bit until it was time for him to nap... he was such a champ!
 
Momma and her precious baby girl... who could care less about a picture and was way more concerned with bounce houses.
 
So off to the bounce houses we went...
 
And to the slides....
 Having fun in the "big kids" bounce house...
 
Notice the curled up hands? Eleanor loves to make fists when she is really excited and when she is really mad. At this point, it was because she was excited.
 
Leni Kate, Eleanor and Lucy were ready for those eggs!
 And the hunt began! The church had a special section for kiddos under 2. We had no clue what Eleanor would do, but she actually had fun picking up the eggs. She really didn't get the whole, put them into your basket, thing.
 
But she was so curious as to what could be in these little guys....
 
So she was filled with DELIGHT when she opened each egg to find that there was a treat! Luckily, she is at the age that she doesn't really know what most treats are, so the fact that they didn't make it home with us really didn't ruffle her feathers.
 
And good little Tripp was just enjoying the day in the shade.... he napped perfectly at the picnic once we put him in the BOB!
 Eleanor showing off the inside of the eggs she found....
 
When no one was looking, Eleanor started hoarding eggs. She dropped her basket, would go take some from other kids and stuff them in her shirt. HA!
 
Me trying to get a picture with both kids. This was the best one....
 
Daddy and a TIRED, ROUGH looking Eleanor. She was POOPED.
 
And our cute boys with our sweaty, tired little girls. I mean, look at Eleanor... that is pretty much unacceptable.
 After the picnic, Daddy walked Eleanor and Tripp home so that they could both keep sleeping.... when they got home, this is how I found them.
 Such a fun day! We love our church family!

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
