100th Post!

I can't think of a better way to celebrate my 100th post of CC's World, than to share some of my favorite pics taken today of some of the precious little ones in my life. It was our annual photo shoot with the girls and the Texas Bluebonnets.

Gabriela (5 1/2), Isabela (3 1/2), Maya (3 1/2) and Samantha (2).






Take a trip down memory lane ~ last year's bluebonnet pictures...my, have the girls grown!

Celebrating with friends....

Miss Sally's little boy, Spencer, celebrated his 3rd birthday last weekend at JW Tumbles, a children's gymnastics palace.

Miss Sally was kind enough to invite 2 of her favorite girls to Spencer's party ~ Gabriela & Maya.

Isabela was unable to come as she was in Mexico with her Papi. The girls loooooove Miss Sally....they think she's the craziest & funniest lady :)

The girls had lots of fun climbing the rock wall....

walking the balance beam....sliding down slides....


catching bubbles.....




taking a ride down the zip line...



Thanks, Spencer, for inviting us to your birthday party. We had sooo much fun!!!

Friday night with Maya

Friday evening was Maya's turn to go shopping with me. She couldn't wait to get going! She is so funny :) I told her that I needed to go to Target, which of course, excited her. Not because of the great deals or fun items to be found, but because she could get an Icee and popcorn. Much to her dismay, they were all out of popcorn, but she was satisfied with the Icee. We walked around the store, where Maya was quick to point out all the items she'd loooooove to have....including a St. Patrick's Day boa. Now, I am THAT aunt that buys them something everytime we're together...but I couldn't see spending $12 on this green boa! Maya asked me to buy it for her and I told her no, not this time. Maya said: "Why not, CC? Is it too expensive?" I said, yes, it is." Maya then says, "well, then at least take my picture with it" And indeed I did. Is she a cutie, or what?!


After Target we went to Walmart ~ another favorite of the girls. We went down the Easter aisles (yes, plural) and here's a little snip-it of our conversation.

M: I love you, CC

C: I love you too, Maya

M: You know who else loves you?

C: Who?

M: Jesus loves you too!

C: Yes, he does. and he loves you too!

M: I know :)

M: You know what, CC? Easter isn't about the bunnies.

C: (laughing) it's not? What's it about?

M: Easter is about Jesus.

C: You're right and what about Jesus?

M: Well, CC, he dead.

C: Yes, Jesus died. Do you know why?

M: Because he was old.

Well, at least she's got part of it right.

Of course, I didn't have the heart to tell her that CC is older than Jesus when he died....wouldn't want to frighten her!

Saturday with Isabela

It was Isabela's turn to go shopping with me. We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday with stops at Petsmart to check out all the animals; then over to In The Wind, which is a fantastic flag/outdoor yard art/windchime store, where we picked out some fun Easter items for the flower beds; then to Michael's for some more Easter items; and a trip to the bank. While we were at the bank, Isabela proclaimed: "Jason's Jelly...Jason's Jelly(which by the way is actually Jason's Deli)....let's go there for lunch, CC. You get your samich, I get my fruit and we both get is-cream. Sound good, CC?" Sounds good, Isabela.

Isn't she sweet?!
