A Week with Nannie and Nana!

I spent the past week in Nederland visiting my grandmas, and boy did we have a good time! When I got there on Monday, Nannie let me open my birthday present early. It was a Lightning McQueen Scooter with matching helmet, gloves, pads and bell. It didn't take me long before I was cruising down the driveway and all through the house. On Tuesday, Nannie set up a slip and slide, bought me a soccer ball cookie cake and invited everyone over for an early celebration. I loved getting to see everyone, and I loved playing around in the water. I spent some time with my great-grandparents, got to meet my new cousin Levi, and played trains, puzzles, and badmiton with Uncle Lawrence! On Thursday, I went with Mommy, Nana, Liz, John, Aunt Jenny and the girls to the San Jacinto monument and Battleship Texas. Poppy met us out there, and we went all the way to the top of the tower! I loved looking out the windows. It was very hot at the battleship, but I enjoyed seeing how big everything was. I pretended to shoot the guns, walked around the ship, and played around on the deck. I sunk your battleship!! After seeing the tourist sites, we ate at the Monument Inn where we watched all the huge boats go by. We thought that was pretty awesome! On the way home, Nana "drove" us over the water on the ferry. It was a fun and exhausting day! On Saturday night, we went to Allie's wedding. My cousins and I tore up the dance floor at the reception. I boogied the night away, and even got a dance with the beautiful bride!
Now only a few more days until my 3rd birthday!!!!

A Fabulous Fourth!

It was an amazing Fourth of July weekend because all my cousins were here, including Uncle Clint & Aunt Lori, Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Johnny, and of course my Nana! Aunt Liz, Uncle John, Mom, Dad, Kaly and I decided to go golfing on Saturday. I enjoyed hitting the ball, seeing the ducks, and riding in the golf cart. Kaly and I only made it 9 holes before we got picked up, but we were excited to go! Aunt Jenny and Uncle Troy were house-sitting for friends, so we took some time to enjoy the pool. We took turns on the diving board and swam around all weekend long. On Sunday we went to the RoughRiders game and sat out on the berm. We waited for home run balls, played a little on our own, sang "Take me out to the ballgame," and ended the night watching an awesome fireworks show. There is never a dull moment when we are all together! On Monday, we played around all day. We got a game of baseball going at the park, played on the playground, had a massive dance party as well as several performances. The weekend ended with fireworks watching in my front yard. What an awesome way to celebrate!
