My 1st Snow Day

This February, the weather did something I had only read about in books.
It SNOWED!!!
I had so much fun
bundling up in all my snow gear,
playing in the snow,
making snow men,
and drinking hot chocolate
in between outings outside.
What a Perfect day!

My Mommy and I worked really hard to make this snowman outside.
It must have taken us at least an hour!

This snowman only took us 10 minutes.
Thank you Kristen for sharing the trick to making snowmen.

Come back next winter my snow friends!!

Love for Valentine's Day!

All the Valentine goodies.
Can you guess which one is mine?

I LOVE all the LOVE
on
Valentine's Day!

Papa's 50th means Cakes and Presents

Happy BIG 50th Pop Pop!
Here is your cake...

and here is your present.

I am obsessed with wrapping presents.
This time, I decided to recycle Pop Pop's wrapping paper to wrap myself.

Here's to another 50 years Pop Pop!
I LOVE You!

New Years...Austin Style

I apologize for the New Year's post in April, but better late than never!

We started this New Years by going to the First Night Austin.
It was so cool!
I especially liked the parade down Congress street!
It was alittle chilly. So after the parade, we grabbed some Kettle Corn and were on our way to our
neighbor's house to ring in the New Year in the hood!
What a night!
I actually stayed up until midnight and lit sparklers with my street friends.
Someone accidentally set the couch on fire... But, that's another story.

Jacket... check
Daddy's shoulders... check
Ready for the parade to begin!!!

First Night Austin's Parade was definitely "Austin Style!"
Here is the tail of a snake on wheels.
And...

Here is the snake's mouth opening revealing it's tongue.
The woman actually was doing leg crunches to mimic the tongue moment.
Talk about an ab work-out!

An old limo with neon lights...hmmm?

At the end of an Austin parade, you won't find horses!
Instead, how about an old car with fire torches?!

However, what was my favorite in this very weird parade ... you might wonder?
Good old-fashioned, hula hoops.


HAPPY 2010!

Easter is Eggcellent!

Yeah! I am back from my very long blogcation! Hopefully, I get back into this... for the memories!!
But, boy do I have a lot of catching up to do. Forgive me as I post Christmas and Valentines in April.

Easter was so fun this year!
I really got the hang of this whole hunting thing... almost to the point of Mommy needing to teach me Easter Egg hunting etiquette. At my MOPS Easter Egg hunt, I snatched an egg that a crawling baby was working hard to get too.
Rules, Rules, Rules!

The Easter Bunny is Awesome!!

Sitting Pretty in my Easter dress!

What a sweet picture!
Do you like my cheesy, fake smile I like to make for pictures?
Mommy and Daddy LOVE it!

Easter is nothing but smiles!

Okay, so I had to stop and open a few eggs along the way!

Bring it on Ronito!

Enjoying our treasured eggs!

Hope you had an eggcellent Easter too!!

There is nothing worse than...

having to get eye drops put into my eyes!
Let me paint you a little picture of the TORTURE I am going through!
Mommy and Daddy literally have to pin me down on the bed, hold my hands down while I kick, holler and jolt around.
All along, Daddy tries to get a drop in the middle of my moving, wedged,
closed eye!
So, instead, drops end up in my wide-open, screaming mouth!
They have tried to bribe me with treats...anything!
But, nothing will get me to agree to let them put those burning drops in my eyes.
Having Pink Eye in Both eyes is for the Birds!
