Manic Bloom

My brother's band, Manic Bloom, just put their EP on the web. It sounds great. Everyone should check it out at www.manicbloom.com.

Cousin Fun

We got together with the family a few weekends ago. K and C had a blast together as usual. I swear that I have never seen two kids so young who actually play together. They chase each other and squeal and jabber back and forth like they know what they are saying to each other. They love spending time together, and it is very relaxing for us cause we just get to watch and laugh. They are just hilarious. Love those sweet girls!

Rodeo Roundup

Over spring break we took K and her cousin to the livestock show at the rodeo here in Houston. K and C loved seeing the animals, and I think that is where K finally learned that a cow says "moo". She is very good at that now. Also, we put the girls in the John Deer tractor in honor of their Grandpa. They seemed quite comfortable in it. He should be proud.

Our Silly Girl

Wannabe Paris Hilton!!! I promise it was not my idea to put the dog in the purse. It was completely K's idea. I just had to help a little.

K is enjoying some cookies that Grandma sent her for Easter.

K loves putting laundry on her head. Today, she would cover her face with the laundry and then blindly push around the laundry basket on her knees all over the house until she ran into the walls. She laughed at herself a lot.

Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa

K and her cousin got to spend the entire day Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa, while their parents were able to enjoy a day trip to College Station and catch an Aggie basketball game. We all had a very nice day.

Happy Birthday K!!!!

K turned 1 year old on New Year's Eve. We had a celebration in Corpus Christi and Austin. She liked the icing on her cakes but not the cake. But she loves cake now,though, which we just found out at her daddy's birthday. She got lots of presents and she also really likes tissue paper. I love it that she gets so quiet when she plays with tissue paper because she thinks she is doing something bad. Silence is generally a good sign that nothing good is happening somewhere in our home. Anyways, I can't believe I don't have a little baby anymore. Last year went by fast. We grow more and more in love with our sweet little girl every day.

First Christmas

K had a fun first Christmas. She was as busy as can be squealing and crawling after her cousin. They entertained each other so well. I know the books say that kids don't learn to play together until 2 years old, but K and her cousin love being around each other. K will squeal really loud as she crawls after her walking cousin, C, while C will run away squealing thinking K is playing chase with her. We got a good laugh out of it every time. Having small children around for Christmas really makes the holidays more special and fun. We are so blessed!
