Tumbling Tot

This afternoon I ventured out to Xtreme Gymnastics with my playgroup to practice my tumbling skills. I loved getting to jump, bounce and run all around without having to hear "no" from anyone (yes, I'm talking about you Mommy)! I didn't really care for taking turns or rotating through the different activites she had set up for us though. I preferred to just do my own thing and make up my own routine. :) I thought it was fun and a great energy burner for me! Below are some of my favorite pics from today.

Getting ready to perform my back handspring...

I was steady-eady on the balance beam...

Practicing my dice skills for the tables in Vegas (this should make Grandfather proud!)...

Aaarrr Matey!

This weekend my buddy Jagger celebrated his 3rd birthday with a pirate party! We had a swashbuckling good time and I even got a pirate tattoo while I was there! (Don't worry it's not permanent.) I think it makes me look tough and it seems to impress the ladies. Sometimes I forget I have it and it surprises me when look down at my hand and see it there!

Fischer also made it in for the long weekend. He and I got to meet a few of our cousins from Mississippi. We had a good time getting to know one another, and I hope they can come back for a longer visit soon.

Be Mine

Mommy and Daddy got me a great Valentine's Day gift. Mommy said it was one of her favorite toys as a kid so she thought I might like one for myself. She was right! I love pushing it around and hearing the little popping noise it makes.

I'll close now with a few of my favorite pics from my valentine photo session at Sarah Kingree Photography...

Happy Valentine's Day!

A New "Dubbya" for President

I just received word of a new presidential candidate to enter the race. Now, I usually try to stay away from any political plugs as I don't want to offend any of my readers, but I have to say this guy looks like he could do a fine job in the White House. I haven't heard of him having a running mate yet, so I'm hoping he might choose me as his VP! Tomorrow when you go to the polls and cast your vote remember this guy...

Fischer W. Rose wants your vote in '08!

Snow Fun!

When I woke up from my morning nap today I was excited to see that it was snowing! I liked looking out the window watching it fall onto the ground.

When Daddy came home from work we all bundled up and went out to see the snow up close.

I don't have a sled, but my wagon worked just fine.

Daddy helped me make a few snowballs.

Which I thought were pretty tasty!

I liked playing in the snow so much that when we came back in I cried and stood by the door wanting to go back out. Maybe tomorrow I guess.

You Say It's Your Birthday...

Just a quick post to wish Uncle Andrew a happy birthday! I'm sure Fischer is planning a good time for his daddy today. Wish I could be there to celebrate. Have a great day, Uncle Andrew!

Flying the Friendly Skies

Friday, I put on my airplane outfit and took my very first flight. I did so good on the plane and even became Southwest's unofficial greeter. I loved saying "hi" to everyone that got on the plane. Seriously, I said it to everyone. You might think I would have gotten tired of saying it, but I didn't! I said it probably 100 times just on one flight! Most people returned my gesture and said it back to me.

Waiting to board...
I love greeting the other passengers...

Did someone say snack? Let me get my tray down for this...

Here I am doing a little shopping from Sky Mall...

We went to Dallas to surprise my Great-Uncle Mark for his 50th birthday. Friday night, Great-Aunt Cheryl had a big surprise party for him and I danced my little booty off! The band was great and I really got down.

Here I am cutting a rug...

Family picture time...

Saturday night we went to the Dallas Mavericks game. Here I am enjoying the game from our suite...

I also stopped by to see Aunt Jamie (Mommy's college roomie) while I was in Dallas...

I was so worn out from all of my travels that I crashed around 6pm when we got home and I didn't get up until 8:15 the next morning! I had a great time though and can't wait to start racking up those frequent flyer miles! Next stop...Maui!
