Sticker fun

I handed AG a sheet of stickers and asked her if she wanted to play with them. Two seconds later they were all over her legs. "Cheese" mommy.

Toe rings

I often wear toe rings with my open toed shoes. My toe ring was laying on the coffee table Sat. evening and AG decided to try to put in on. Pretty funny, she just sat and stared at it.

All this activity was pre-food poisoning. Matt and I spent Sunday and today recovering. My advice...wash your cilantro!

Aftermath

If the aftermath of Tyler, Weston and AG's playday today is any sign of the fun had, I am certain they enjoyed themselves. I would have loved to take a picture of Tyler holding Anna Grace's hand to lead her down the hallway. Or even of what the house looked like 10 minutes before they left. But, being the good guests that they were, everything was picked up before they left. We all had a great time and are so glad they were here.

Here is Anna Grace hanging out with daddy tonight. What a ham.

Zoo day

Daddy had the day off, Happy Easter Monday! We decided to go to the zoo since it wasn't spring break anymore. Here is AG enjoying daddy's shoulders in front of the giraffes.

Daddy also made us go into parts I would never set foot in. It is the reptile and herpetarium, ICK! Anyway, here is Anna Grace mimicking the snake. I was cracking up.

And lastly, here she is standing in the otter bubble. He kept swimming right by her and it almost looked like she could've touched it!



The other big happening is that Anna Grace went in her potty today. She will one day thank me that there aren't any pictures of the event. I still wouldn't say that we are potty-training, but it was the first time to sit on the potty without any bottoms on. And I would say that is pretty successful!

Easter basket

Here are a few pictures of Anna Grace with the eggs in her Easter basket. She liked the candy :)

She also had a giant bubble blower in it, and this afternoon daddy blew bubbles for her.

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter this year in Fort Worth. It was a little chilly and I am so grateful for the sweater that she wore. It was crocheted by Nonna for Haleigh when she was a little girl. I go so many compliments on how beautiful it was. Thank you Nonna, and thank you Haleigh and Kim for sharing.

We hope that y'all had a wonderful Easter filled with all of God's blessings.

Make a slideshow - it's easy!

Botanic Gardens

We headed to the zoo and turned around after hearing there were 17,000 people there yesterday and the parking lot was more than half full at 10:10. I think we are going to try that again on Monday.

Instead, we headed to the botanic gardens and spent the morning looking at pretty flowers and picnicing. It was a gorgeous day!

Here is AG walking the "balance beam" and playing in the log that you can crawl through.

Fresh biscuits

Anna Grace helped me stir up a batch of biscuits this morning for breakfast. Yummy, as she later said. :)

Cereal

Everyone else's cereal always tastes better doesn't it? Well, nonna was eating cereal this morning and AG climbed onto her lap and started begging for the rest of her breakfast.

Easter eggs

Nonna and V came through this week. They were on their way to see my brother and stopped off for 2 nights.

Yesterday we were able to break out the Easter egg dye. Here she is with V, my little "cheese" star, obviously smiling at the other camera :)

And I bought the "camo" dye kit this year which was a flop except that it had stickers :) And AG loves stickers.

So glad that Nonna and V could stop off for a glass of wine and some fun.

Gigi and Grandpa Tom

Gigi and grandpa came on Thursday afternoon. In fact, I wish I had a picture to post of her standing in the window after her nap waiting for them. Tiptoe and all :)

Friday we went to the park in the morning and daddy was home by 2. We went to the stockyards on Friday afternoon. Here's AG watching the horses go by. Can you think of anywhere else where you have to wait for horses to cross a street?

After a quick walking tour AG spotted the mini-carousel. We had such a time when we rode an actual one I have been quite skeptical. However, for $.25 we gave it a whirl. For real, it was a quarter.

Then it was back to Love Shack for one of my favorite burgers in town. And for those of you who need to know, that's her Shiner in front of her. Anyway, if any of you are up for a fine burger, give us a shout. We are up for that ANYTIME!

Best daddy prize!

I had seen a learning tower on a friends' blog and thought that I needed one until I saw the price. On Saturday I suggested that we build one ourselves. In typical daddy fashion, he went out to the garage during nap time and whipped one out. Here it is "in process" and AG loves it. She is totally contained while I cook and can help stir and everything.

We have cooked quite a few things already. She would be smiling, except her mouth is full of peanuts.

Anyway I would nominate Matt for the best daddy.

Crawfish again

We went to John and Candice's again today for a crawfish boil. Anna Grace kept walking over to the cooler and peeking at them. When they were on the grass she was waving and saying hello.

As usual they were wonderful hosts and our bellies are full of yummy food. Thanks y'all!

Oh and later, AG could be seen playing fetch with Cooper (their dog). They were great playmates today.

Blueberry muffins

I made blueberry muffins for breakfast this morning. AG loved them, in case you couldn't tell by the color of her mouth.

Fun times with Daddy

Not sure if you can tell, but we managed to get 8 bows in AG's hair tonight. I am sure Mom would not approve.

Full tummies

Grant & Amy came over to go to Pappa's burgers with us last night. Anna Grace was totally taken with them being at the house. She had to show Miss Amy all of her toys and crawled straight onto her lap so she could read her some stories. She even crawled onto the sofa to imitate Grant as he was trying to recover from such a big dinner.

Sunglasses

I got two pairs of really cute sunglasses for AG Friday. She loves them and wears them on her head quite a bit.
