Long-Grain Rice

We had a special week! Hady turned two! And I say week because it felt like we celebrated for a week. By the end, she knew to point to her chest when anyone mentioned a birthday. She loved being the center of attention and took full advantage. That is Hadley to say the least.
We started celebrating when Mommy and Daddy realized it was a perfect afternoon to give Hady one of her birthday gifts. And we enjoyed it while staying cool.

Hady had to close her eyes while Mommy brought the present out.

She was clearly impressed.

And I had fun too.

Show off! She knew exactly how old she was.

And she knows how to butter people up for more gifts next year...hugs!

After tacos for dinner, it was cake time. I was Hady's helper.

Not that she needed any help...she started to blow out her candles before the cake was placed for pictures.

YUM!

And more presents.

And more hugs, especially for a great grandmother.

The special party guest.

Hady's thinking...she wishes everyone could stay all night so the party would never be over.

And like I said, the party lasted all week because here she is on her real birthday. We celebrated that night with ice cream. I definitely didn't mind the week of celebration. I am a little guy that loves dessert.

Just another Thursday night.

OK, I might have fibbed just a little about my last post about my first preschool year. I forgot that we had a fantastic end of the year music program. I think I had the most guests. I sent out my own little invitation to all the important people in my life and the showed up!
But before the musical, I had to go to spring soccer one more time. It was trophy day.

I shoot...

I score a trophy.

Now, after a little clothing change in the car I was ready to sing. Let the singing begin. There were motions and everything.

Good friends that are moving away.:(

My very special teacher, Mrs. Gebhardt.

And another good one.

Field trip...

Yes, I know the school year is out but I had to blog one more time about my friends and my first preschool year.

We took a nature walk down the street to the park and the creek. We had a little fun along the way.

Yep, that is a paper bag and a slug going in. I saved some for later.

At first I was a little nervous...you know, a slug in my hand but after awhile you get used the the slippery little suckers.

We made it to the creek. The walk home was the hard part.

My friends.

What a fun year! Thanks Mrs. Gebhardt.

Celebrating mamas.

Mother's Day was last weekend and that meant a weekend all about mom. Ok to tell the truth, they might have done a little bit for me like take me to tball and let me pick going out to dinner at the lake instead of cooking but still it was pretty much all about mommy.
We headed to the lake Saturday afternoon and the weather was perfect.
Here are the reason mommy is a mommy.

We may be goofy but we love her.

Lets not forget Reagan.

We did some boat riding and driving.

Daddy was there too. He helped celebrate.

We all love Mommy, especially Hady because she always has the most patience with Hady's personality.

And, finally more visitors to celebrate a few more moms....especially Nene.

Happy Mother's Day to mommy, Aunt Kelly and Nene!

Animals in my life.

So you may know I have a dog. You may know I have a fish named Donkey that has successfully lived in our fish tank for a world record breaking 8 months. But I don't think you know about all the other animals in my life. Yep, I am a regular zoologist.
Check it out.

Minnows.
