4th of July

Seth and I were heading to the Bahamas (more on that on the next post!) on the 5th, so we got together with the Barricks and Collins on the 3rd to celbrate the 4th of July!  Emily loves this holiday...mainly for the candy at the Martindale parade and for fireworks!  Sadly, we didn't make it to Martindale this year because it was raining, but we still had some fun with our friends! 
On the 3rd, we went to the mall to get ice cream and let the kiddos play on the playground.  I am not real sure how much ice cream really got eaten...
Then we headed to our spot off of La Cantera Parkway to watch the Fiesta TX fireworks.  I loved it this year, because it wasn't near as crowded going on the 3rd.  Hopefully we can do this every year!

Emily's main squeeze, Tanner!

I love this pic...watching fireworks!

Grant...either tired or a little scared of the fireworks!


On the 4th, we went to a friend's house of the Collins.  They were out of town and the Collins were "house-sitting" so we used their kitchen, grill, and pool and had a great afteroon with the same folks, the Barricks and Collins. 



That night, after our packing was done, we let Emily stay up and watch fireworks from our driveway.  It is really great...you can see the Stone Oak/Sonterra fireworks really well right from our yard.  It was nice just being at our house watching Emily enjoy the fireworks and run around the tree like a crazy person. ;)

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Image
Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
