Graduations, Birthdays, Holidays, Baby Dedications and Fun!

June was quite the busy month! Starting off June, we went to my cousin, Macy's graduation in Huntsville. She graduated third in class and is attending A&M in the fall! We are so proud of her! I was sad we didn't make it to my other cousin, Nicole's graduation as she is a national award-winning speaker and gave a speech at her graduation. I'm so proud of these two young ladies and can't wait to see them succeed in college! Kya did pretty well at Macy's graduation and talked Pop into buying her a doughnut at the concession stand - oh the things your parents will do for your kids that they never would have done for you!

Then, we celebrated Father's Day and somehow, I don't have any pictures.... Eric had mission trip the week before and told me all he wanted to do was sleep! My mom and dad came to help me with the girls which was such a blessing, but we were glad to have Eric home that weekend.

The third weekend we celebrated my 31st birthday. Eric was so sweet and planned everything out from getting my parents to come and watch the girls and even ordered dinner from Antonio's to celebrate with my parents that night. Kya woke me up at 6:30 with "Wake up, birthday girl" over the monitor. It was so sweet, but I wanted to say - GO BACK TO SLEEP! She couldn't wait to "surprise" me and spilled the beans immediately about everything Eric had gotten me and planned. She has a hard time keeping secrets when she is excited (exactly like me!). We went to Whataburger for breakfast (like we do every Saturday) and one of our fave employees was working and made sure to ring us up and hook us up with some free breakfast. I love that place! Then, Kya and I got our hair cut and got back in time for my parents to come watch the girls so Eric and I could go out to lunch and go shopping. Going shopping without kids is the most amazing thing and I took it for granted for so long!

The last weekend of June, we had Kya's Frozen birthday party! I cannot take any credit for how well it turned out because my mom made it her mission to get the invitations together, get all of the decorations and supplies, make things for the activities, make sure I ordered the cake in time (and gave me a coupon), and came and helped me shop and make the food for the party. I was sooooo grateful because my job at WM has changed quite a bit and I have been a lot busier, so it made having the party a lot less stressful with her help! We loved having all of Kya's friends from daycare and church over.

Then, on Sunday, we had both girls dedicated at the church. Yes, I know Kya is 4 and we are just now dedicating her.... We were going to do it when we moved to Texas, but we wanted to wait until both sets of grandparents could come, then, we decided that we would just wait until the second kid..... It was really special to me that both of our families were there to have the girls dedicated, and we are grateful for the awesome grandparents that they are to the girls.
