Aubrey and Mommy's Day

Matt went to Dallas for the day for his fantasy football draft, so Aubrey and I planned a fun-filled day together. It started off not so fun because I had to go to work to do some stuff that needed to be done to our databases when no one else was working in them. Aubrey was excited to visit my office again. She colored with my pens and then watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Thank goodness for portable DVD players!

Then we went and had lunch together. I told Aubrey we could sit outside at lunch because it felt nice outside when we got to the office, but when we left at lunchtime, it was much warmer outside. I told her as we were walking to the restaurant that it was pretty hot and we should eat inside. Her response was "It will feel better over there under the shade", and she was right! She's a pretty smart kid.

Then we went home for nap time. After nap time, we headed to the mall for some shoe shopping. She needed new shoes for school. We were able to find a pair for school and a pair for fun. That's what happens when we go the mall without Daddy!

After getting home from the mall, we ate dinner and watched Cinderella together. Aubrey sat and watched the whole movie. We had a great day together.

Pump it Up

Matt and Aubrey went to Pump it Up on Friday. She had a blast!

First Haircut (sort of)

Only the bangs - they needed a little trimming.

Summer is here!

Fun with Grace (video!)

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.
