A few pictures from the last few months...

Ride 'Em Cowgirl!

It was pony picture day at Aubrey's school a few weeks ago. That night after taking pictures, I got to hear all about the ponies (there was a white one and a brown one), who in her class sat on which horse, and which kids cried and didn't want to sit on the horse.

She's very observant right now and doesn't miss anything that is said around her. I normally hear lots of details of the things that happen in her classroom, who cried and why, who used the potty and who had accidents that day, and other things about her day. I'm sure her teachers get an earful of what goes on at home, as well. When Matt picked her up from school one day last week, the teacher asked if we had gotten new windows in our house. Matt told her we had, and she said Aubrey had been telling her all about her new windows.

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.
