Saturday we had a lazy morning of relaxing and then headed out to Festival of Flowers a small little garden and plant festival......it was great going with Ri as she is a Southern Plant/Flower/Tree expert.....She brought me a ton of her books to borrow about southern plants to help us figure out the rest of our landscape....So awesome.....Shawn and I think we know what we want to plant in the back yard and side yard to finish up the landscaping.....most likely won't have it all finished until next year, but so nice to have a plan.....The main piece will be a butterfly garden.....the girls will love seeing the butterflies all the time.....Ri really let us know what to plant to attract butterflies and even better that we got to see the plants in person at the Flower Festival.....the kids also enjoyed seeing all the pretty plants......We finished the night with an awesome steak dinner out......So fun.....Except the girls.....they were pretty much antsy at dinner, I think I spent more time with "False" Potty alerts then I did at the dinner table.....I think I took MJ to the bathroom 6 times and of course Kiara had to come too.......Talk about frustrating.....
Yesterday we didn't do much, a little home depot run and some grocery shopping which also included the purchase of a kiddie pool......All 3 of the girls loved it......I think the twins played in it for 3-4 hours......We ended the night with a traditional meal of Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, beans and poke cake......We also played UNO, the girls loved playing it.......they partnered up with Daddy and G-Dad.....the best was them spitting out the colors in Spanish....They really do pick it up down here......
Today we are off to relax and do a whole lot of nothing......here are some pics from the weekend....

Great pictures. Glad you all had a great time together. Kiara and MJ looked like they really love the pool. That is cool. Glad to see you got one. Lila even seemed to like it. It looked like they enjoyed the card game. What fun.
Miss you all.Cooking what can I say, your girls are born cooks...It runs in their family.
