It's not MY party...

But I can wish for the colorful gifts......And swipe a little cake
(of course, I'm not the only one who has those wishes!)
And when I'm done, I may sit still for one picture...
...But not for two

Fantastic Fun Times Weekend!

What a wonderful weekend I had in the Texas Hill Country - first with my favorite cousins, Isabela and Sofia, and then with my newest buddies (and partners in silliness), Evan and Cullen Janecek!

The good times kicked off with a visit from Isabela...(isn't she a diva ;)

...and her baby sister, Sofia (kinda precious, huh?)

We had a great time practicing our artistic talents...

(Uh-oh, wish Mommy hadn't taken this incriminating picture!)Making each other laugh...

Or just pining for some river time.

...And when The Guys (aka River Monkeys) showed up - that's exactly where we went!

Evan and Cullen's Daddy, Mr. Scott, helped me make my way over the low-water crossing. You like my river shoes? :)

And a little later, Mommy suited me all up for The Big Splash

After a good swim, we were all ready for a snack and some cartoon-watching

...Except, I don't think Evan and Cullen really appreciated me taking their Legos to munch on!

I can't think of a better way to spend a summer weekend, and can't wait to go back! Next time, I want my Daddy to be there, too. Miss you, Daddy!

Dance Hall Days

Friday night, I had the chance to kick up my heels at one of Texas' oldest dance halls, Schroeder Hall! It was such great fun listening to live music, meeting up with friends, and running around the old dance hall floor!

Of course, the pea gravel kept me pretty busy, too!

Here's my friends, Anna Claire and Meagan Miori takin' a juice time out

Pops and I made sure the stage was good to go before the band set up

Whew! When you're at a dance hall, you have to stay hydrated! ;)

...and, even the sippy drinks taste better if they're kept real cold!

Texas Time Out

Havin' a great time in Texas...




...but sure do miss my Daddy...

Memorial Weekend: Action-Packed!

I have to take full advantage of the hot summer days while I'm in Texas (the seasons are reverse in Brazil, ya know!), and what better way to do that than to have a splashin' good time! Chula made a chew toy out of my old baby pool, so Mims set me up with a brand, new one - complete with zebra sprinkler and slide!It took a few tries before I got my sliding technique down-pat

Don't worry, Mims and Aunt Brooke helped me out of this freefall (while Mommy snapped the pics - Sheesh!)

I went right back to my splash-a-thon!
Hmmm....not much better than a post-swim snuggle from Mims!
