The weather this past weekend could not have been better! Friday afternoon, we took the girls out to the house so we could meet with the HVAC guys before they left for the weekend and then headed to the fishing pond. My girly girls love getting dirty too and are so happy when they get to run and play outside. After fishing, we stopped by Hat Creek (the eat park) for a few burgers. Avery calls any restaurant with a playscape the EAT PARK.
Saturday was another “outside” day so we took the girls back out to the new house to the neighborhood swimming pool for a little fun and met some new friendly neighbors. Then we headed to our friends house up north to meet their beautiful new baby boy and have dinner.
She didn’t like the sand so much…
Sunday we decided to make another outside day because I couldn’t get enough so we went to eat lunch at Shady Grove, walk around Town Lake, and to the Domain for the splash pads (which seem to still be off due to water restrictions) so we shopped the Art Fair instead.
Starting to make a silly face at Daddy:
She is waving at the big bird statue (off to the left):
P.S. This is totally off topic but I can’t forget these things so I must journal them. I need to do this more often.
-Avery asks at least every other day after I pick her up from school if our new house is ready yet. I guess she doesn’t understand how long months are.
-She says funny things and really is at a very imaginative stage. We tend to eat out a lot and she makes her forks her princesses, kings, and queens and talks to them.
-She asks Why? about everything.
-Note to myself…..don’t ever forget the funny thing she said about pancakes going “slap, slap, slap” (flap) and the big and strong pizzadillas. This is a family joke that I cannot forget.
-Every little girl and boy in the world is her fraannd…said with a Texan drawl. She loves friends and anytime she sees a child, she wants to go talk or play with said child. She is such a social butterfly. For example, we could be going to the mall and she will say, “Look Mommy! There’s a girl. She’s got a beauuuutiful dress. She’s my friend!” or “That’s a boy. What’s his name? He’s my friend!”
Olivia:
-She says “Dada”, “Mama”, “Daw” (Dog), “No-No” (with the shaking finger), “Hi”, “Moo” when you ask her what a cow says, and Agua for water though I think she is trying to say “WaWa” and it comes out as Agua
-She is such a lovable, cuddly, kissing, baby! Oh, I could just melt every day because she is soooo loving. She is especially fond of her big sister.
-Livy loves to eat, if you couldn’t tell from the pictures. She still giggles with her billy goat laugh, especially when food is involved.
-She is going to be my little jokester. She makes funny faces and does all kinds of silly things to try to get you to laugh. Yesterday, while in the car, she was mad because she was tired and hungry and she told me “NO-NO” in a really loud, mad voice and I looked at her and said “No Livy!” in a flat, stern voice and she knew she wasn’t supposed to do that and started making clown faces at me…..at 13 months. I don’t know how you can even try to keep a straight face at something like that.
