Spring has Sprung!

It is here, it is here! Spring has finally arrived. As Texans we wait for several, or two, months for our dreadful winter to end and it has! Tulips are blooming, the weather is in the 70's and 80's, you switch from red wine to white wine, you bare your pasty legs for the first time in months and the time you spend outdoors multiplies! We "backyard" it all the time here, year round, but now it is warm enough for Sloanie Baloanie to enjoy...Her first Spring!!!


To celebrate Spring we had a play date with our awesome cousins, Carter and Charlotte. We had a picnic in the backyard, played with all sorts of sporting equipment (Thanks, Cov) and broke in Sloan's new Water/Sand Table- they had a blast!

Charlotte confusing a shovel for a fork!

Sloan holding the shovel but just shoveling sand into her mouth her her hand!

Her Mama's girl! Loves playing with my Diet Coke bottles.

When Spring has Sprung in our group friends that means get ready for a Birthday Marathon frenzy...I swear most of our friends were born in between March and May- it is bizarre. So, we just recently celebrated Spencer's 30th Birthday at the Elbow Room. It was a super fun and beautiful spring night. It was like circa 2006 when everyone was kid free....ahhh, memories...here are a few pics...

 Group shot, well part of the group... and only Whitney and Sara were looking. Thumbs-Up are coming back! 2011 is the year of the Thumbs-Up!

Book Club ladies! Whitney, Emily, Ashley,  Me, Sara and Jessica. Might I add that Sara's hair has some nice volume working for it!

The Birthday Boy, Spencer, and the arm of his better half, Emily!

Team Harris!

Me and Michael at home...after a few. :)

Michael trying to keep my cocked eyebrow down! You can't tame the beast!

So, I hope that everyone is enjoying the beginnings of Spring as much as we are! Just go outside before it gets too hot!
