Easter Weekend

We had such a fun and busy Easter weekend. It started on Thursday with Aubrey's Easter egg hunt at school, included a visit from Nana and Pops and the Easter Bunny, and ended with a trip to the park to see the bluebonnets. Here's some of our fun!

Dying Easter eggs was fun


But playing with play-dough was even more fun!

Hippity, Hoppity...Easter's on Its Way!

We went to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. Aubrey had fun and was excited to see her friend Alex from school again this year. The area for hunting was much smaller than last year and there were more parents on the lawn than kids, so Aubrey only got a few eggs. She has another Easter Egg Hunt on Thursday at school, so I'm going to try and go and get a few more pictures.

And here are a few more of Aubrey enjoying the beautiful spring weather!

Yay, Daddy!!

Aubrey and I are very proud of you!

Videos from March

We've been very busy in March, enjoying the beautiful weather and playing. Here's some of our fun.

Aubrey loves the song "It's a Small World" from when we went to Disney, and she sings it often. Pops found the version from the ride and sent it to us, so now Aubrey can listen to it whenever she wants, which she does over and over.

Here's one of Aubrey and Daddy playing tea party.



Aubrey's singing a new song she learned at school. (All the big fish are swimming in the water. Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, pop!)




Aubrey is teaching me how to use her bubble wand. She does a good job of explaining how to do it just right.

Aubrey and Gabby

Gabby loves to cuddle and snuggle up close, but this was a first. She has never snuggled so close to Aubrey. I think they're becoming friends, or she was trying to stay warm because it's really cold tonight. Aubrey was petting her and giggling while Gabby rubbed her head on her legs and tried to get Aubrey to pet her some more. After a few minutes, though, Aubrey said, "Mommy, she's stinky." (Gabby has bad breath.) So I asked if she wanted Gabby to move, and she said yes. Then she told me, "Gabby needs to take a bath or a shower or something." Oh well, it was cute while it lasted.

Getting Dressed

We've been officially potty training for a little over 2 weeks now. Aubrey is doing great. She wears her underwear all day, except during her nap and nighttime. With potty training and underwear, comes having to pull her pants up and down by herself and getting dressed all by herself. She's very independent and likes to put everything on by herself - from her shirt to her socks, even when we're running late. She can even put her jacket on by herself. Watch!

A Sunny Valentine's Day

We've had a lot of cold and rainy weather lately, but Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day with temps in the 60's, and the sun even came out! I shot this video of Aubrey having some fun on her trike. She's pretty good on it. Stay tuned for her message at the end!

Sesame Street Live

Yesterday we took Aubrey to see Sesame Street Live. It was a fun show, and she had a great time! She got to see all of her favorite characters, sing songs, and visit all the places your imagination can take you.

The funniest part was during intermission, a man came out right in front of the stage to sell Elmo balloons. I think that's why they had an intermission. He had a line the whole time and then the whole arena was filled with balloons. It was quite a sight!

Big Bird's imagination took him to a parade, so they played Mardi Gras music and even sang "When the Saints Go Marching In". I think it's a sign!!

It's a Party in the MIA!

Aubrey's ready for the Superbowl. Who Dat!!
