It's Potty Time... Maybe...Not!

I have been telling my parents lately, "Poo Poo" before I ...well..poo poo. I also enjoy reading my potty book that makes a real flushing sound. So does this mean I want to sit on the big potty in the bathroom like my parents do? I DON'T THINK SO.. That is a big , "No" for now! Although, I will help flush the toilet for them. My mommy does not want to make me use the toilet before I am ready... but does not want to ignore my poo poo recognitions either. So, Mrs. Polly, let me borrow this very cool little singing toilet to play with in the bathroom. I really love this toy.. I mean toilet. I even accidentally went pee pee the 1st time I sat on it. It was definitely a fluke.. but I won't tell my parents this. They were just too proud of my pee pee in the potty!

Count Up to Happy New Year!

I wanted to share this important message with you!

Like Daddy...Like Daughter

Today, we were all sitting around the table eating grapes for dessert. Daddy comments, "These grapes are crappy!" "Crappy!" I clearly mimic. Mommy and Daddy start laughing. I like words that make my parents laugh. =)) Mommy and Daddy have been talking a lot slower and often skip words when they speak now. I don't know what is wrong with them???

Christmas Rewind

My first Christmas 2007

All I wanted from Santa last year was a BOTTLE!
My daddy got dressed very silly that day!
I'm not crying on this Santa's lap.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

5 Signs that it is Christmas Around Here!

Christmas has been such a fun and busy time this year. I am really slacking with this blogging thing. But Christmas is definitely alive around here! 1. There are Walks through Bethlehem around town and I get to hug on all the animals!

Petting a camel for the 1st time ever!

(There were very cool animals in Bethlehem)

2. There are lights everywhere...including my favorite the Trail of Lights Christmas Tree.

Riding in the front seat (oh so special) with Papa through Tyler Tx "Santa Land"!!

3. Playing an angel in the annual Baby Jesus Party with my family.

(Don't I look angelic?)

4. Spending some goofy time with cousins at the Houston Children's Museum.
(This is such a FUN Children's Museum... Highly recommend it!)

5. And of course my parents trying to get me take a picture with this crazy old man dressed oh so silly. This is really starting to get on my nerves!!

(Neighborhood Coco with Santa)

Not even bribing me with a cookie will work Daddy!!

Give up already!

Lesson Learned!!! LOUD and clear!

Cupcake Ettique Can Tell So Much about a Girl!

As some may know already, we celebrated the end of music class by eating cupcakes this week at the delcious new Hey Cupcake.

These pictures were so cute and revealing of personalites... I just had to share them.

Oh the Ever- So- Famous Before Picture

(We missed you Ava!)

Such civilized young women sitting one afternoon eyeing their prey.

How shall we go about Eating such a Delicious Treat?

Miss Stern decides to carefully eat the base of the cupcake...passing on the oh-so-messy, sweet iced topping!

Miss Milam is so lady like exhibiting such willpower. Prestigious ladies can resist the immediate temptation of cupcakes.






Then... their is me...Miss Hobbs!
Dives right in without a second to spare... face first!



No surprise here!



Notice Miss Milam can't believe her eyes!!




Miss Abdine tackles the assignment thoughtfully planning each bite piece by piece!




Enough of that!!! This approach works much better!




A girl after my own heart!



Gotta Love Cupcakes!

...bringing all walks of life together!
