Party in Lubbock!

This past weekend, we made the trek to Lubbock to go to my friend Brandy's little boy's 1st birthday party. Here are Cade and Anna playing!

Here's Cade enjoying a little cake on his actual birthday, which was Friday.

Here's the giant waterslide for the party Saturday... and yes, that's Brandy climbing up it... just to test it out, of course!

Here are the cute cakes that Gran made! And oh my - they were so tasty!! Those 8 bags of powdered sugar really did the trick! :D Anna in her grass skirt!Cheese!Hanging out in the big slide with JaredThis is Cade in his baby pool... I can't believe Ang got this picture because he was only in for about 3 seconds. :)He was much happier in Gran's arms!

Anna has become a bit of a daredevil lately... I wonder what this holds for the future!

Here's me, Anna, Ang, Cade, Brandy and Jared. It was such a fun weekend!

Dallas Children's Museum

Yesterday I decided to take Anna to the Dallas Children's Museum which is part of the Museum of Nature and Science. This was the part that was supposed to be like your backyard... I guess these are gopher tunnels?

This was the other part of the 'backyard' and reserved for kids 2 & under.

Of course she loved the laptop station!

Planting seeds in the 'Urban Farm'

And loading some veggies in her bag...

She liked the water, but not the smock!!

A Day at the Pool

This week we had playgroup at the Jack Carter Pool in Plano. It was a very fun pool for toddlers... this entire section was shallow. Mostly Anna was interested in climbing up and down the stairs...
Or having snacks...

Or playing in the grass. :)

Dirty Girl? Clean Her Up!

Here's one more from the weekend I had to post... :) Things are crazy busy this weekend and Mark is out of town, so it seems like I'm getting nothing done... oh well! I have lots of pics/video to post sometime when I have time!!

Fourth of July!

Anna had a fun Fourth! We started the day by helping Granny Janny feed her horses and little pony.
Then we went to visit Baby Daniel... Auntie Ang and Grammastine came over, too. Here's Anna and Ang in their flag shirts.

Daniel thought Grammastine was very amusing!

Tonight we went to the Waskom 4th Celebration and Anna got a temporary tattoo! Isn't it great? :D

Long Weekend in Waskom!

We came to Waskom yesterday for a nice, long holiday weekend... here's Anna trying to walk in JuJu's sandals... at least she knows where shoes go...

Baby Daniel and his parents arrived last night after Anna's bedtime, so we waited til this morning to visit. They weren't sure what to think about each other.

Here's a closeup of my sweet Little Ham.

This morning I had to go visit before I had a shower... I didn't intend to have my photo taken... so don't judge. :D

Anna didn't think this was cool back when she really fit in it!

Anna was actually reaching for Daniel after I picked him up from beside her... like she wanted to hold him... but he wasn't really up for it. :)

Mmmmm....

I didn't really squirt MUCH in... just thought it was a cute photo op! :D
