Fun At The Park

We decided to go have some fun at a local park recently. I loved climbing up on the Sea Monster!


Daddy and I decided to try out this tilted thing that looks like a merry-go-round.



We got quite a surprise when we started moving the thing and it threw us into the wood chips. I fell on Daddy, though, so only he got all scratched up. But it did scare me.


I decided to climb on the monster again.

It was so much fun standing up here!

We also tried out some other things. Daddy was helping me learn to balance on this.

And of course, I did lots of swinging!

This one was a really fun swing.

Whoa! Look how high I'm able to go.


Then I decided to get back into a regular swing. They are all fun, really.

Hi Mama!

Even daddies like to swing at the park.

And of course, what is a trip to a park without playing on the slide.


We had a great time! Look for more pictures soon of a fun weekend we had with some friends from Macon.

A Belated Mother's Day Post

We had a great Mother's Day celebration this year on Mother's Day Weekend and the weekend after when Grandma, Pop Pop and Doe came up to visit.

I love playing with Pop Pop.

This is the Little Mermaid nightgown I love so much, because I think Ariel looks like my Mommy.

Big smiles!

And now a little posing.

I love sitting in my Grandma's lap too.

But Pop Pop really likes to play. I love being upside-down.

And Doe read me a pop-up book.

This is my "pet" lizard. He fits in well with our two cats, a fish and a frog (all real pets).

And my favorite puppy: Anna! We are all getting ready to go eat some Thai food.

I love the princess tent that Ratana and Joom, our friends from the Thai restaurant, bought me.

Daddy took some pictures of Mama. Here's a funny look.

Happy Mother's Day Mama!

Daddy's two favorite girls.

And another shot of us.

I love my Mommy, and she loves me too.

Here are Pop Pop and Grandma. They are about to enjoy some delicious Thai food.


Daddy now has control over your mind. Be very, very afraid.

I'm a happy girl today. Ratana gave me some beautiful hair barrettes.

See! Well, you can't really see it can you?

I love playing with my Mommy's jewelry. This is her necklace that says, "mother to a little girl" in Mandarin.

And here's one with Mama, Ratana and Mei-Ling!

And here is my other friend Lalapat. She, Ratana and Joom are my friends.

We had two great Mother's Day weekends! And how wonderful it is to have both Mama and Grandma to share Mother's Day with.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy turned 35 years old this month! We went to our favorite place for dinner (Thai of course) to celebrate.



We had such a good time.

Mommy helped me with my Tom Kha (coconut milk soup with lemongrass and other yummy things). I'm doing better getting it to my mouth. I'm also learning how to use chop sticks, but I have a long way to go.

Ratana brought Daddy a special Thai dessert - a Taro cake with coconut milk. Yum!

We had a great dinner. I also was glad to dress like a princess. What I define as "princess" is wearing a dress. I will tell Mama each day whether or not she looks like a princess.

Oh, and notice the Hello Kitty watch and the bracelet. I'm really into this princess thing.

Daddy's two favorite girls.

We're glad you had a good birthday Daddy! May you have many, many more.

A Wonderful Easter Weekend And Celebration Of Grandma's 74th Birthday

We had a fantastic Easter and a wonderful celebration of Grandma's 74th birthday! Saturday night, we had a delicious dinner for Grandma's birthday. We didn't take any pictures of that. But we did take plenty of the rest of the weekend. On Sunday, we went to church and then out for an Easter dinner - at a Japanese Steak House of course. Here is a picture of me, Mama and Baba at Grandma's house. We are standing in front of her HUGE azalea bush.


Here is a good one of me, Xavier and Baba.


One with Grandma, me, Pop Pop and Doe. Grandma looks fantastic for 74 doesn't she?


I always love a picture with my sweet Baba. And we match today!


And here we all are.

I do love posing for the camera.

And one of me with Mama.

Here we are in front of the pretty azalea again.


On Saturday night, Grandma and I dyed some Easter eggs! That is something Grandma loves to do each year, and this was my first time. What a special moment for us.


This is fun!


Thank you, Grandma, for doing this with me!


After church and our Easter dinner, I found out the Easter Bunny left me a basket at Grandma's house. He followed me there!


Oh wow! The Easter Bunny must know my exact size.


Now I am hunting for those eggs we dyed last night.

I found another one!




Well, that's all for now. This next weekend, we will be celebrating another birthday, but it's a surprise to the person. So I won't say anything more.
