While Daddy's Away...

.....the girls will play! Keith was gone all weekend to a football clinic, so Kate and I headed to Grammy and Grandpa's house Saturday for some country fun (where bows don't stay in, she can get dirty, and there are animals everywhere)! This little girl LOVES to be outside and she was in heaven.

She looks so big here...

Kate is trying to give Lilly a kiss. Lilly is not too sure!

She was determined to get Lilly.

Then Grammy got out the bubbles. Of course Kate had to do them by herself.

And she got pretty good!

Happy Valentine's Day 2011

Happy Valentine's Day to my sweet baby Valentine!Cheese!

Dressed and ready for dinner with Daddy. We must have a little appetizer before we go.

....and along with our appetizers there is always Barney close by!

Snow Day

Really we have had 4 "snow days", but today was the first day we had actual snow and not ice. It was beautiful! Last Christmas we had snow, but Miss Kate couldn't walk yet. This time we were super excited to see how she would react. She LOVED it! This little girl loves anything outside. All bundled up and ready to go!

Checking it out for the first time...

Rookie loves the snow too!

I kept trying to get her to look up at me, but she was way to interested in looking at the snow on the ground!

If it is going to keep snowing like this in Texas every year, we are going to have to invest in some better snow gear. Poor Kate was soaked and her boots weren't the best for snow. She was not ready to come in and for about the next 30 minutes she would bring me mine and her boots that were drying by the door. She even put her gloves back on! We have no doubt she would have stayed out there for hours!

We have so enjoyed this "surprise" week off... and the snow was just the icing on the cake!

Movie Star

While I am trying to catch up on blogging, I wanted to be sure to include these two videos from the Christmas holidays.

This first video is of Kate in her princess shoes. When Keith would get home from work she would run and put on these shoes, grab his hand, and walk him around the living room and kitchen. It was precious! She would always stop at the Christmas tree to talk to the ornaments.

The next video was the neatest thing! The Fire Department cruised through our neighborhood blaring Christmas music, with Santa on top of the Fire truck! Santa waved at all the kids and threw them candy. I so hope they do this every year, because I had just gotten Kate out of the tub when they came by our house.
