So I feel like I should ask for forgiveness for being behind two months on your letters but I know that I don't have to because we are living life to the fullest and we're busy and we're joyful and we're living our letters so it's hard to stop and write it all down! However, I have been keeping some notes (month 2 anyway)...
Literally; here they are - Month 2
Double fisting pacis - switch them
"I want my Aubrey"
Elevator sounds like alligator

Aboretum all great up to the very end when you fell and skinned your knee
Fell asleep (hard) on the way home and had to BEG & plead for you to wake up to take family pictures
Compromised on the Sophia dress (grrr) *thanks Aunt Deen Deen
Death grip on Cheerios
Egg hunt at Mark & Holly's

"I want to hug a monkey" instead you acted up the whole time, we left early.
Working on learning consequences
"Just kidding" - new phrase
Emotional ups and downs at school

Easter gifts from Grandma
Sweet T-shirt from Daddy
A trip to the Big D - we always love a chance to see our family

First Easter Egg hunt of the season
The next day we went to the Dallas Arboretum - Tulip Festival and a visit with Tracys and Uncle Don
It was a perfect Texas Spring day
Nailed it!
Daddy hugs
*note the death grip on your shirt!*
You were running in this field and tripped and fell. You weren't hurt but you got very upset; so I decided to fall down too. That was very funny. Then Savannah fell down. Lots of laughter! It's really hard to get used to adrenaline. I know that's what gets you going and it's more of embarrassment then pain. I wish me telling you not to be embarrassed would work but it won't. You can feel however you want to feel whenever you want to feel it. I will be there to break the fall whenever I can!
And she's OUT...hard...really, really hard!
You did NOT want to wake up for family photos! You did NOT want to take family photos. You didn't want to smile, you didn't want to be put down but you didn't want me, you didn't want daddy and you didn't want anyone else, you just wanted those Cheerios and you weren't letting go! I don't blame you. It had been a long couple of days in the car and a long day in the sun. I appreciate you tolerating the situation. All in all; it was fun. We all laughed; a lot!
The Easter Bunny was here! He brought every thing you asked for; a Nick Wilde and Cinderella castle!
Checkin' out the bootie!
Let's hunt for some eggs! Easter Egg hunt #2
THE COUSINS (and the tongue)
I peeked around the corner and caught you trying on NawNaw's bunny ears and checking yourself out in the mirror! Priceless
We thought it would be such a nice treat to stop at the Memphis Zoo on our way home. You were into it. You said you wanted to hug a monkey but you just weren't feeling it. You were tired (we all were) and well...let's just say that I look forward to going back fresh someday so we can see more than a 1/3 of it. Seemed like a very cool zoo!
This was the point of no returm
And she's done!
First time puddle jumping! (thanks for the outfit Auntie M)
I had to throw this one in..you love to climb on the counter and look at yourself naked!
Each weekend you get braver and braver at gymnastics! I am beyond proud of you!
Stop the cuteness!
Kaelyn's birthday party - You pushed all the boundaries that day. I almost gave in and stayed home but kept on "fighting" (thanks to your dad) - Aren't you glad we did?!
A glimpse to our future no doubt - you said, "let's go to the beach" - my stomach dropped
Pony rides
I sure do wish this was the beach!
After a rough and emotional week; we needed a nice treat!
Bubbles
Mollie - your favorite friend
Disco Bath Time
Gotta water the plants
As a reward for getting all smiley faces that week at school - Build a Bear
The following Saturday was full of big fun! First stop the Symphony with Mollie
(Jaime was performing with them!)
A little exploring...I was trying to get your girls to smile and look at me and I said, where are you from and you shouted so proudly "BUFFALO"....wait; what?!?
Then it was off to try out our new wagon at (yet again another) Tulip Festival with my friend Savanah.
RL approved
Caught in the action
The Sculpture Garden Trail
A day at the zoo with your best friend - Avery (bites) Bambini "Fend" (Fruend)
Oh if this stage could tell tales! The two of you probably could have spent the whole day here and quite frankly Avery's mom and I could have too! You gave us show after crowd stopping show!
The Bambini Bunch (-1)
The following weekend we celebrated our 3 annual "Mommy Lunch" Egg hunt! So much fun!
Followed by a delightful tea party celebrating our good friend Violet's 4th birthday!
This is Noah, Violet's brother...you were NOT a fan of that costume!
this is you...wishing that that Spider "man" would just leave you alone!
What a great month...
You. BLOW. me. AWAY
I will love you All ways...Always,
Mommy
