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!
As soon as we got there, I couldn't wait to get in the pool. I thought it was especially cool that Mommy and Daddy watched me from behind the glass wall instead of being in the pool with me. I made three new friends, and we loved to visit and were very good about taking turns. 
Mr. Tierce is super fun, and he let me wear flippers to get more power in my kicks, helped me with holding my breath underwater, showed me the best way to get out of the pool, and even gave me M&Ms as little rewards along the way. 
At the end of class, he called all the parents in so we could show them our new skills of the day. After an awesome class, we got to finish up with a trip down the big slide...woohoo!!!! 
I CANNOT wait to go back for more!
Wilson and I were cracking up at Daddy pretending to be "goggle man" in the pool. He would scare us, and we would scream and laugh!
I swam all over that pool, went down the slide all by myself, and even convinced Daddy to throw me way up into the air! 
All that swimming made us a little hungry, and a nice cold slice of watermelon tastes great on a hot summer day. Yummy!
We also got to celebrate Uncle Daniel's birthday while we were down. Nannie made cupcakes, and we all wore party hats. 
I love celebrations, and I capped off the evening with a little drum solo. 
Nannie came home with us for a week, so I got to play quite a bit. I love it when she comes to visit. On Saturday, we went to Hannah's birthday party. The girls were princesses, but I dressed up like a pirate. Arggh!!!
I get to start splash days and swimming lessons in the evenings this week, and Mommy gets off for the summer in two more weeks. I can't wait for all the fun I know is headed my way!!
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.......

and laughing. 
I love my life!
I had so much fun playing and swimming with my cousins all weekend long. The night before Easter, we dyed eggs, ate a big dinner and even pulled on the wishbone of the turkey!
I woke up on Easter morning to an awesome basket full of goodies. The Easter bunny brought me candy, eggs, and a movie. 
He also left me a train station and sidewalk chalk, along with more hidden eggs back in Frisco. It was a wonderful Easter morning with my cousins, but the best part was a taste of my chocolate bunny after breakfast. YUMMY! 
After church, we hunted eggs all over the two backyards. There were almost 80 eggs, but the boys and I found them all in no time! 
We also went to see everyone at Mama and 
It was a wonderful Easter weekend. This week was business as usual except that Nannie was here to visit. This weekend she helped build me my own garden in the back, and we even added a grown tomato plant. 
Fresh fruits and vegetables are on the way!!!
