Memorial Day

The weekend consisted of the following  -- a trip to the park -- two barbecues -- a visit to the urgent care for Mom -- a power outage on Memorial Day -- an open house tour .. etc.

Sarah loved all her outdoors time.  Good thing since it seems to be in the 80s for the forseeable future.

Birdies hatched

I was able to get a few good ones of all FOUR of them.

There were the last pictures I took before they flew away.  I did feel really bad because while trying to take these shots one of the birdies actually jumped out of the tree and kind of fluttered down.  I was horrified that the Momma wasn't going to feed it and it was going to die.  And then, Brett let the pup in the backyard and what did she do but pick up the bird like a good hound.  Brett got her to drop it and the Momma bird went crazy squawking at us.

However, the next day all FOUR birds were gone so I guess the little one made it and it was only a slightly preemptive jump from the nest. Whew!

outgrowing her shoes

Sarah finally outgrew her first shoes that we got her back in SEPTEMBER. Pretty impressive. So before it hit the trash I had to take a sentimental goodbye picture.

On a side note I may have held on to them slightly too long as my hint to get rid of them was Sarah constantly pulling them off one weekend which is definitely not the norm. (Usually fine with shoes for a whole day.)

Strawberries

A few of us went to pick strawberries this past weekend.

Positive - I got some yummy berries and made a strawberry coffee cake.

Negatives - Sarah does NOT like getting dirty and picking strawberries would fall into this category. This resulted in me carrying her through the patch. Maybe peaches or another year will do the trick.

She was DONE shortly after this!

Car and Driver

This little one is really into exploring her car and getting out of her car seat to do it. Here are some of her latest hijinks while escaping.

EVERYTHING came out of the console.

It is really hard to get a toddler out of that tight spot.

I drive you. Mommy!

Right Turn!!

Happy Momma's Day

Busy weekend back home for Mothers Day!

Sarah at the Woodlands Childrens Museum

She sat right down at the table with the bigger kids and started drawing me a card with EVERY single marker. She also made sure to push her chair in when she was done.

Pic at the church we got married. Fail!

the next picture is from our trip to Bayou Bend Museum. Very lush and lots of room to run. I liked the suspension bridge the best.

Was not happy with shoes this trip. Wanted them off. then on. then off....

Happy Grandma Day!
