Living Life



Last weekend Aunt Elizabeth came to town, and Daddy grilled for everyone. My cousins came over and we had a great time. Then on Mommy's birthday, we ALL went to the driving range to hit some golf balls. Fore! We also went out to eat, attended the neighborhood pool party, and finished the celebration with a piece of birthday cheesecake. Mommy loved listening to me sing "Happy Birthday" to her! I'm still tending to my outdoor garden, but Aunt Elizabeth brought me an indoor one as well. Right now I'm waiting for my tomatoes and jalapenos to sprout so we can make some fresh salsa. I check on them several times a day! Also, today I got to eat my first In-and-Out hamburger. Californians make a really big deal about it, but I enjoyed the hat more than the burger! Other than that, it's just life as usual......snacking.......smiling.......reading.......and laughing. I love my life!

Happy Mother's Day!

A very happy Mother's Day to Mommy, Nannie, and Nana. I love you all so very much! Today was wonderful because I got to spend it playing with Mommy, and we had tons of fun. I made sure to give her lots of hugs and kisses, too! Earlier today, Daddy and I went to the store so we could grill out tonight. I pushed the basket and made sure we got everything we needed. The rest of the day was spent out in the backyard. I helped Daddy replace the fencepost, and then Mommy and I expanded my garden so I could add an okra plant. We also filled up the strawberry planter Aunt Elizabeth sent. I can't wait for everything to ripen! After all that hard work, I jumped in the pool.....in my clothes!!! It was awesome! Eventually I got down to my underwear, swam and played ball in there for hours. After dinner, I put on a real swimsuit and my sunglasses and swam some more. I could live in the water! What a wonderful day =) Nannie was up visiting last week, and she was here on her birthday. I took complete control of all party planning and made sure there were party hats, a balloon, and a cake. I loved playing with her while she was here, and hope to see her again very soon! Now I have one week to plan Mommy's birthday celebration. I am ready to PARTY!
