Park, Abby's Birthday Party & Ballet...

Sunday morning we all slept in, got donuts and headed to the park...

Right as we got to the park the cold front hit and it got colder and colder while we played...

We headed over to feed the ducks...





and bunny and I went down the slide (all animals are named Millie right now)...


Daddy riding side car...

We headed home for an early nap because we had somewhere special to go after nap time...

Abby's birthday party at Jump for Fun...

I always request "cupcake shirts" when mom asks me what I want to wear, so she made me a couple and a cute cupcake skirt to match...

Jump for Fun is still my favorite jump place...


Lots of my school friends were there and even one of mommy's friends from college (it's a small world)...

The birthday girl!  We were suppose to have her party last weekend, but she had the flu so it was rescheduled to this weekend...

Evan and I climbing...

Once we started sliding, we never really stopped...

Kade...

Evan...

Me and Kade going together...

Miss Michelle... my favorite person...

Kade & I did this a lot, he wouldn't go without me and then when we got to the bottom he would say "ow you hurt me"... it was silly!

Chase (Kade's older brother) was having fun climbing...

Going down Bubba style (backwards)...

Mom's favorite picture of Kade ever...



Mom even got in on the fun...

Making snow angels...

Kade's daddy took both boys down together...

Group picture time...

Her cupcakes were SO cute!


Singing happy birthday...

Abby tried to blow out the candle even though it was very far away...

Her mommy came to the rescue...

Boots!

I love cupcake time!

Kade & I checking out the party favors...

The picture that melts mommy's heart... Kade is my very favorite boy, most boys are too rough and I don't want to play with them, but I spent the entire party with Kade (almost like a date)...

This morning we headed to ballet (the first time I haven't been sick at ballet in 3 weeks)...

I had lots of fun and we worked hard on our recital pieces...


We are back to our smaller class size, which is better for all of us...

Hula hooping...

Fort Worth Stockshow 2011

Saturday morning the weather was beautiful and I was finally feeling 100% so we headed to the Fort Worth Stockshow...


This is our 3rd year... here I am last year...

and the year before...


Mom had to laugh because my hat didn't fit (it's sized 3 to 5 years)...


















But I wanted to at least wear it for the pictures...

















Mom made my shirt and says it's the hardest applique she's done... this little cowgirl had a lot of detail!
 
















We always start with the animal barns... this time it was the goats...

and you have to take a picture with this sign...

It's just the perfect backdrop...

We headed in to watch some ponies who were winning awards...


and then we headed to the fair... I've been begging to ride a ferris wheel, but when we got to it I kept saying "I don't want to ride it"... it was one of those times where mom insisted I do it and I'm so glad she did!  I had a blast!

and you get to see everything!


Waiting for ride 2...

The teacups!  Another ride I talk about all the time, I even "pretend" to ride them at home on my sit and spin...

Carousel...

and a neat little train (I got to be the conductor)...

I took this job very seriously!


We headed back in to watch the youth ranch hand competition...

It was a nail biter!

They had to take their horses through all of these obstacles (which the horse had never done before) and the kids did great!

We walked by the beautiful Gypsy horses...

headed back to the midway...

I got to ride a pony (though mom and dad think it was actually a mule)...



and then I got to pick 3 more rides... I picked the boat...


the wagon...


and the dragon (which was a little scary)...

Here's where I was getting nervous...

Flying high in the sky...

Totally enjoying myself!

We stopped by the children's barn and it was BUSY!

But I got to see some chicks...

and ducks...

Before I lost mom in the crowd (she could see me but I couldn't find her) and mom's claustrophobia kicked in...

Totally tuckered out!  I was in bed asleep by 6:45pm on a Saturday night!
