What is up with the weather?

That is the burning question on everyone's mind. I cannot seem to figure it out either. On Monday we had snow and then on Friday I could wear shorts?!?

Since we had snow I had to bundle up put on my snow boots to go outside to play. Daddy decided since it was a snow day he would go into work late to help me build a snow girl. He knows how much Momma 'loves' cold weather. I was glad that Daddy went in to work late so we could have extra special time together playing in the snow.

So like I said the weather is crazy. On Friday, I was outside in my jean skirt and boots. I am glad that Momma let me get my boots because they are so versatile. I can where them in rain, snow and sunshine. And yes I do know how to pick up dog poop. I have much experience watching Daddy and sometimes Momma cleaning it up, so when it is around my playset I get it out of the way.

Mardi Gras Mambo

In keeping true to my Mommas heritage, she finally got to take our family to Mardi Gras. In preparing for this trip to New Orleans we loaded the Mardi Gras CD into the CD player so I could learn the Mardi Gras songs. Mardi Gras Mambo is one of my favorite songs from the CD. It really prepared me for celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans. As you can see I had a lot of fun. I rode/walked in the Krewe of Crazy Kids with my cousin Rowan.

I had a picnic on Mardi Gras day as we waited for the Grela parade to start. This was a special parade because Kalee Jo and Uncle David were riding on one of the floats.

Here is the bear that Kalee Jo threw to me.

Now I have lots of beads (necklaces) to wear.

Fast February

February has been a quick month at our house. We had many celebrations first we celebrated Daddy's 30th birthday, Valentines day and Mardi Gras. In between all of these festivities I had a lot going on with many play dates with my friends, going to the library and taking road trips.

I get very excited when we receive packages in hopes that they are for me. So when I received my very first flower delivery for Valentines day from Daddy I was ecstatic. I could not believe that I got flowers shipped to me. I loved them so much. I asked to check on them every chance I could to make sure they were just as perfect as the first moment I saw them.

I have been taking time out of every day to teach Miles how to sit up and to play with his exersaucer. I like to get in to demonstrate what he needs to do while he is playing. Sometimes I often get stuck and cannot get out so Momma has to help me out but alot of times she tells me to figure it out on my own. When this does not work I simply tell her I have to go potty and she runs to my rescue.

I have been developing my own style lately too. It is very important to look like Daddy and I finally can do this because I have found where Momma keeps her glasses. It is very important to accessories when going places like making sure you have the right necklace (scarf) and the right purse (letter bucket). It doesn't matter if your outfit does not match perfectly because that is what makes it your own. I even have ventured out in my high heels. But I only think Momma let that happen because we were in a mad rush to get out of town.

While I was sleeping....

I heard some banging around in the backyard. So when I awoke from my short nap I looked out of my window to see what the banging was all about. I saw 2 men in the backyard finishing putting up my swing set. I ran out of my room ala Kramer on Seinfield to tell Momma that my swing set was here. After about a week of torture I finally figured everything out. It started as we were out shopping on Saturday afternoon. Momma and Daddy decided to take us to look at swing sets apparently they had no intention of buying one because I went to bed that night asking for a swing set. The next day I awoke at 5AM to see if one came while I was asleep...No! So on Sunday after church they said we could go get a fish. A fish I thought - I want a swing set.

Even though I love Nemo I more than anything wanted a swing set. We went to the pet store and we got everything you need for a fish. I got 2 fish of gold that look like Nemo (sort 0f) their names are Tiger and Decoy. I realize now that Tiger and Decoy were just that a decoy to the swing set. The swing set is so much fun even if it did arrive on the coldest day of the year!

Things to do in New Orleans

There are a few things everyone must do when they go to New Orleans. Some things you should try to incorporate every trip you make to New Orleans. Like....
Going to Cafe Du Monde for coffee (chocolate milk) and donuts

It gives you the best sugar rush ever.

Feeding Pumpkin a carrot.

Putting on your sunglasses and grab your purses and stuff for your ride on the streetcar.

Taking a ride on the streetcar but don't ride the Canal St. line from City Park to

the quarter.

There are too many crazies that get picked up along the way.

Make sure you take your Nanny Hanna with you so that way you can get away with doing things that your Momma Alison would never let you do.

Watch the crazies with Aidan.

Finally, we made it back to City Park!

Christmas Vacation in the ATL

So it has been along time since an update has been made. I can honestly say it is all my Momma's fault. She had to switch out the computer then get every thing downloaded and here I am updating my blog. It will be filled with lots of pictures.

Waiting to open presents at home with Momma, Daddy and Miles.
