Spring in Texas!

And that means the bluebonnets are sprouting up all over. On Sunday, we took an afternoon drive towards Brenham, TX to see what we could find. We stumbled first upon a decent patch on the side of the highway and snapped a few pictures. Then as we drove further north, we found a field absolutely COVERED with the beautiful flowers. Molly was pretty tired and would not take the thumb out of the mouth, but we got some cute pictures anyway. We hope to drive out again this coming Sunday for another shot at a few more pictures of her in them and maybe some family ones also!

Molly - Meet Bunny

She didn't love him...

Climbing

For her birthday, Molly received this climber/slide from her Granny Sue and Papa Larry. She has mostly been going in and out of the door and loves to slide if you put her up and help her. Today, she started trying to climb up the slide. And imagine my surprise when she actually made it all the way to the top several times all on her own. Unfortunately, she moved a little too fast for me to get the whole thing in one long swoop, so I pieced together a few of her attempts and one of the grand finale of her getting to the top, standing on the platform, and then sliding head-first back down. One thing is certain about this kid...she is fearless!

Spring Break!

Since Molly and I have been having so much fun this week, I thought it would be nice to share some pictures!

Here she is playing on her slide yesterday after our (mis)adventure to the zoo. Suffice it to say that the Houston Zoo during Spring Break is rightfully called a zoo.





And today we took a little trip to the neighborhood playground. It was the first time we went to this playground, but she had it all to herself and had a good time!

Trying to figure out how to get up there...



Hanging out on top...



Busy playing...





And trying to climb the steps!



Then when we got home, she picked up her favorite book, walked over to me and said "Brown Bear". What a doll.

Happy St Patty's Day!

It's been a busy week for Molly! Mommy is on Spring Break and is so excited to have the week with her baby. Monday we went in for Molly to get her tubes put in. Since she has had chronic ear infections since August, we knew it was time. It was such a fast procedure. The worst part was having to give her away and leave the pre-op area to wait in the waiting room. She was such a strong and brave little girl though. Everything went fine and we were done in just under 2 hours. She came home and played the whole day as if nothing had happened.

Yesterday we went to a playgroup event. It was a St Patty's Day lunch and playdate. Molly had a good time playing with her new friends.

Today we hope to get out to the zoo as the weather is supposed to be nice.

And of course Molly wore her green yesterday to wish everyone a Happy St Patty's Day!

Fun in Katy

We've had some fun times around Katy in the past few weeks and thought we should share some new pictures!

Last weekend we went to see a children's production of Beauty and the Beast. They perfomed 3 of the songs and the characters mingled with the crowd after and had crafts for the kids to do. Here is Molly with Belle and the Beast!





This past weekend was the Katy ISD Rodeo. We headed out on Saturday morning to the parade. Molly had her first outing in her wagon that we got for her birthday.









When we got home from the parade, we put together her climber/slide that she also got from Granny and PawPaw for her birthday. She had so much fun playing and sliding. Since it was cold outside, we put it together inside and thought we'd just move it outside later. Unfortunately, it does not fit through the door! So it will just stay in the living room for a while I guess! :)
