Two Day Post...

MONDAY
Monday morning we had a choice... a beautiful day at the park or gymnastics. More and more these days mom lets me make the decisions and I said park so off we went!


We are starting Little Gym at the end of May so we are actually going to take the month of May off from gymnastics and use Mondays as "field trip days"...


So we loaded up "Sleeping Judy" (Sleeping Beauty) and headed to Dove Park...


This is a great park for toddlers...


Especially the rainbow slide!


We saw Bella...


and Brooklyn...


Brooklyn and I are pretty attached since we see each other 3 or 4 days a week...


She kept me entertained most of the play date...






Thanks for inviting us Brooklyn! Bella it was so fun to see you too!


TUESDAY
Mom spent Monday night putting together my new library only to realize that today was Librarian Day at school!


Since I don't have a bookworm shirt we decided to wear Minnie...

I'm making Minnie's facial expression here!


My new movie is the 1st Tinkerbell movie...

Tonight I told mommy I wanted to be a fairy and she brought me some wings...

Southlake Arts Festival

We had a relaxing morning at home and an early nap all in preparation for our trip to Southlake Arts Festival...


Somehow I've gotten up to 26 pounds but most of my clothes are falling off of me... my pants here are 12-18 months and my shirt is 18 months! Crazy!


Time to go to the festival!


There were lots of artists and some interesting art...


There were ducks and ducklings (we also saw Ms. Glenna from school at this point, it was so fun to see her!)


Time to stop for a corn dog... YUMMY!


and a stop at the fountain...


The best part of the day was the Carroll Jazz Band playing...


They were awesome!


We actually saw the director at the grocery store afterward and mom and dad stopped to compliment him on how talented they were!


I sat on mom's lap and clapped and tapped my foot... mom sees lots of jazz concerts in our future!


Our final stop was Milwaukee Joes... so good!


I forgot how much I love Milwaukee Joes!

A Very Fun Saturday...

This was one of those Saturdays that 2 days ago we had nothing on the calendar, but it actually turned out to be a really fun day!

I started the day off with some awesome pajamas...


Do pajamas get any cuter than this?


Do you see the rope and chaps? Hilarious!


The vest goes all the way around...


Mom took this one and decided to post it because it shows some of my playroom... mom promises we will do a house tour this week on here...


We finally got dressed in some great spring colors...


took a quick ride on my tricycle...


and headed to Grapevine Mills Mall...


We did some shopping, some eating and a carousel ride...



I guess a carousel ride, an entire kids ice tea and teething do not mix because when we got to the car I threw up... I got to wear mom's shirt home (note to mom: put a change of clothes in the car!!!)...


After close observation and a nap it was decided that I just drank too much tea and I was fine so we headed out to meet some neighbors...

Remember this dress?


Yep that's me wearing it a year ago!


One of the streets in our neighborhood was having a block party and we scored an invite. I was a little nervous at first and sat with my backpack...


But I warmed up when I saw all the toys everyone brought...


and the AWESOME bounce house!


This is my new friend Garrett, he is only a couple of days younger than me and our mommies have really hit it off, the party was on his street so we headed into his house to eat dinner...


and then we checked out his backyard...


We finally headed back outside to play with all the fun toys...


I finally got to drive the big Barbie mobile! This is my dream purchase!


I even took other kids for a ride!


I tried out a big kid bike...


and finally the bounce house cleared out enough for me to have my turn (mom came in to protect me)...


Lillian climbed into mommies lap like they were best friends... turns out Lillian lives down the street from us...


There's a pretty big age difference between us but we had a blast together!


"Hi daddy!"


We made a stop at the house so mom could get some dinner supplies and mom walked out to find dad and I on our bikes (time for mom to get a bike)...


Today was a big accomplishment for me... I mastered my tricycle! I had the coordination before but my legs weren't long enough!


After some tricycle fun we headed to dinner at Twisted Root Burgers in Roanoke... SO good! Sweet potato chips, yummy burgers with onion strings on them, watermelon ice tea and homemade rootbeer!


It's super causal and even on Saturday night we were in and out of there in 30 minutes...


I love my daddy!


We walked around downtown Roanoke (very interesting place) and stopped in front of this big red door to take some pictures...


Since mom had makeup on she decided to jump in with me...
