lots to catch up on...

hellooooo! okay, lots to catch up on, so i'll just get right to it. i'm starting off with a picture of this really neat cake that my cousins, jessica and austin, made for easter! it was a very yummy caterpillar! they came over to our house for easter along with some other fun relatives and we had a good time.

here's me wearing austin's glasses! i love wearing glasses, especially sunglasses too!

mimsie and grandpa also came to visit for easter, which was really good because we had been missing them a lot. i sure do like them... :) in an unrelated story, here's me in one of our kitchen drawers...


we also have been to san antonio since the last time i blogged. we met up with my relatives from mommy's side and had a great time! we went to sea world, explored the riverwalk, saw the alamo, and just had lots of fun. i really loved sea world! it rained a lot in the morning and we all got really wet. then it was sunny in the afternoon and the lines were super short so all the big kids (including mom and dad) got to ride the roller coasters over and over and over! i can't wait until i'm big enough to do that! here's a picture of what i looked like that day...

and here's me and grampee feeding the dolphins! that was really cool...

and here we are lined up waiting for beamee, aunt aimee, lauren, taylor, and gabrielle to come along in a ride... you could pay a quarter to spray water on the riders, and so of course we did!

it was a fun and long day and eventually i just crashed! luckily we brought the stroller because it held a lot of stuff!
here are some pictures of us at one of mommy's favorite places on the riverwalk. i still love doing "so big" with my hands in the air, and my cousins liked to do it with me too. i guess it kind of looks like we were doing the YMCA...



here's a random picture of me with a giant sombrero on my head because that's just part of visiting san antonio...
and here's a cool picture of grampee holding me. this was back at the hotel when we were celebrating beamee's 60th birthday - yahoo! we had really, really yummy cupcakes (which everyone so generously shared with me!), and this was one of the few moments i was sitting down during that time...
we also had our pictures taken as a big family, and here's one that mommy took of beamee, grampee, and the grandkids. hopefully we'll have more pictures to share from that in a couple weeks...

and, that's all from our travels... now that we're back to "normal" again, we're enjoying the warm (okay, pretty much hot, now) weather and eating lots of ice cream. i'm still learning a few new words (ex: the "bomb") and have also decided to go through a picky-eating phase. i love tearing toilet paper off the roll and ripping it into millions of tiny pieces. i also like throwing rubber blocks through the stairs gate and onto the tile floor below. mommy and i like to see how many we can get to bounce all the way to the bottom. :)
okay, gotta go. bye!

ut spring football...

have to make this fast but wanted to share some pictures of our fun day at the UT spring football jamboree. daddy was really excited to take me to this and get to see some football action. this is actually the 2nd spring scrimmage that i've been to, but i was pretty little last year and don't remember much. but this sure was fun! the weather was great and i had lots of fun playing in the bleachers and cheering the team on with daddy, mommy, and 40,000 of our closest longhorn friends...

it was very sunny and we forgot my hat, so daddy let me wear his... i really liked it! :)

i love playing with little cars, and so that's what i did most of the day (in between colt passes, of course)...

at one point in the game i was getting kind of worried - who would win? would it be texas? or texas? i just didn't know for sure...

this is daddy pointing out a field-goal kicker, which is the only position i'm allowed to play according to mommy. actually, that's just a joke - mommy knows i'm tough now and will be as i get bigger too, and so she and daddy feel that i can try whatever i enjoy, but she's hoping for just a kicker deep down...


get your horns up!

the obligatory mommy-kiss-picture... she was feeding me lots of snacks, so i was sure to keep her happy with some kissies throughout the afternoon (i just made sure that none of the football players saw - how embarrassing!)...

and now, the usual closing of cute pictures...



okay, that last one was clearly not at the football game! we're off to san antonio tomorrow to see beamee, grampee, SELT, and AGG!!! yahoo - we'll have a great weekend and i'll report back after. also had a wonderful easter with mimsie, grandpa, the dwights and more last weekend. mommy has a few pictures of that and will try to post those when we get back. see you later!!! :)
