Annette LOVES playing outside! We've found that this is the best outfit for playing in the dirt :-)
The princess cleans up very nicely! She loved riding in the chariot at her friend Charlotte's 3rd birthday party yesterday.
The kids enjoyed pizza, cake and a live show at Chuck E. Cheese.
Today is "Go Texan" day in Houston, when everyone gears up for rodeo season. They had a parade at school complete with a singing cowboy!

Annette turned 17 months old yesterday!
In preparation for her upcoming role as big sister, we got her a doll stroller which she pushes all around the house. She's also added the word "baby" to her repertoire :-)
With spring having officially arrived in Houston, we've been playing outside every day. This playground at Memorial Park is the perfect size for toddlers.
On Saturday we went to a neighbor's birthday party, which had a cowgirl theme. Annette sat nicely at the table while the bigger kids brought her toys they found in the haystack.
There were even pink ponies to ride! Annette preferred petting them to riding them though, since that was less scary :-)
The weather this week was beautiful, so we got out with some members of our old mom's group from the hospital and went to the zoo.
We went to the African Forest exhibit, where Annette checked out the display of huts.
She liked seeing the chimpanzees, and holding hands with her friend Trey :-)
Then we went to the Children's Zoo, where Annette got to run around on the playground.
In the mouth of the lion!
Annette has been busy getting ready for Valentine's Day!
Her homework for February was to decorate a paper heart, but she decided that decorating herself was more fun :-)
This is what happens when daddies draw Hitler mustaches on their babies...
We went to Mad Potter with the moms group from our church. Annette LOVES to paint!
She's also been enjoying the beautiful weather - nothing beats dining on apples and cheese al fresco :-)
