Look at me!

I must hear 100 times a day "look at me! take a picture!"

Catching Up

I'm going to once again attempt to catch up on my blogging! Expect lots of pictures and few words Ha! And to help me stay current, I've just discovered how to blog from my phone! So you will be seeing lots of one picture posts from now on! The post below, "The Cuteness" is my first test post, and it worked! Hooray!

Elephant Walk

In February, the circus came to town. We once again headed downtown and watched the elephants being walked from the train station to the civic center. It goes by really quick but it provides a few minutes of entertainment.

It was particularly cool and windy on this day and I had to go back to the car for jackets.

My Birthday

I have quite a backlog of pictures I flagged and never posted. So my birthday was almost 6 months ago, what are you trying to say?

Here's some of my birthday loot from my Dad. Didn't he do good? Some of I picked out but I had a lot of surprises, too! Brad got me a lot of clothes, sweaters and workout, that I asked for. He picked it all out and he did good, too! The sweater I'm wearing is one of my presents.

Dad & Brad took me out to eat at Grill 29. Yum! Presumably we had a babysitter, because Camden wasn't with us. I guess Nana kept him??? Details are fuzzy. I don't even remember what I had to eat, but I know this dessert was delicious! Some kind of chocolate ganache with raspberry drizzle.

After dinner we had a couple of drinks at the BrickHouse and then headed downtown to Humphrey's. Not a lot of options or action on Christmas Eve. See that gentleman with ghetto baseball hat and gold teeth over my shoulder? What, you can't see his gold teeth? Trust me, he had them. Anyway, it was his birthday, also! He even bought me a drink! Later he fell asleep in his booth. I think he was older than me. TeeHee!

Me & Brad. How appropriate that the Ragin' Cajun sign is just over my shoulder. I definitely had a fun night out! I'm pretty sure everybody in the whole bar knew it was my birthday, probably because i repeatedly shouted out, "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!"

When you have a Christmas Eve birthday, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do to get some attention!

Botanical Garden Children's Garden

Yesterday we met Jeanette & Francesca and their kids at the Botanical Garden. It was HOT!!! Camden, Paul & Max really enjoyed the splash ponds!

It's really hard to get 3 little boys to smile all at once and look at the same person.

Camden had fun with this spouting frog.

Paul left early, but Cam & Max had fun playing with buckets and moving rocks around.

Even Baby Jenny got in on the splash action!

She LOVED the water!

Looks like a future Heisman winner!

Love that face!

Next we headed to the butterfly garden. Check out all the caterpillars on this plant!

The boys are holding their arms out to try and catch a butterfly.

Our only close up encounter with a butterfly.

Even though it was hotter than blue blazes we still had a great time!
