Beach Bum

Danijela & I are missing Tata on the Oregon coast. We landed in Portland on Wednesday evening & are now spending the remainder of our time in Neskowin. We walked to the beach late yesterday. We are headed there again shortly. Danijela is waiting at the front door.

Teacher

Peanut, Peanut Butter, Jelly ...

I went to Pine Cove Camp in the 9th grade. It's my only camp experience & I have awesome memories from it; including the camp song "Peanut, Peanut Butter, Jelly ..." I'll show you the moves sometime.


So back to the image. Princess Danijela became a picky eater around her 1st birthday. I'm know it's related to asserting her independence & wanting to control the situation. This Mama ain't no dummy. But ... I finally found cocktail bread slices (2x2 inches), slapped almond butter & jelly on them, ignored her, AND she ate it! Believe me. The day is soon approaching when little miss "No. No." will go without a meal if she chooses not to eat what is prepared. Today, Tata & Mama are still suckers. That's just the reality.

The Dallas World Aquarium

We all took our first trip to the The Dallas World aquarium last week. It was a little hot in the "Rain Forest" because it was ridiculously hot outside. But it certainly gave us a more authentic experience. It was a good time & we even got a year membership. Call me Tracy!

Aunt Rosalie

We visited Aunt Rosalie in her new home last Saturday. It had been considerably too long since our last visit. We all had a good time. Danijela ate approximately 10,000 fish crackers & became very fond of a doll chair. She pulled it around, positioned it carefully, sat & giggled. This was repeated for about 1 hour. Aunt Rosalie gave it to Danijela & I can only say it's been an enormous hit. Thank you, Rosalie. We love you.

Inspector Clusoe Returns!

Tata was pretending to sleep on the floor. So, Danijela pretended too. She told me to "shhhhhh." Then she went to investigate like a good inspector. This was so funny.


Go check out Gene Pool to see what she did next!

Ready, Set, Go!

Killer Smile

Reece truly has the best smile. And he is quick to share it with you. It is hard to describe but there is something incredibly sweet & special about that boy. You're a hottie!

Hee Haw

Sorry, Danijela. I had to post these. You & I were giggling pretty hard when you discovered your nostrils. When I was a kid we used to watch a show called Hee Haw. There was a funny segment called "I'm a pickin' & I'm a grinnin'".

Sleep Habits

This is becoming a common occurrence. I often bring Danijela in bed with us in the mornings. She actually goes back to sleep on occasion. We pray she develops her Tata's amazing ability to sleep anywhere.

So behind ..

I'm so behind in the blogging department. I have countless images I want to post. Sweet, silly & even strange. But not so much time. I always wait until little squirt is asleep. And then the night is so short. Tonight I'm gonna do some catchin' up.

Birthday Cake!

At Stevie's birthday party Danijela had her first taste of good ole' birthday cake. I scraped off the frosting (for me ... so sad) & fed her the white cake. I just wasn't sure she needed the full blown frosting. Funny how I thought it was perfectly fine for me. She definitely enjoyed the sugar high from the cake.

Happy Birthday, Stevie!

Stevie turned 2! And I am soooooooooo slow in posting some birthday party pics. We walked to Polly & Steve's for a birthday breakfast party on their screened in porch (I have porch envy). As usual it was fun for everyone. That is an Elmo flashlight on the cake, if you are wondering. It was very cool.
