Mother's Day and a corn-fed girl

Mother's Day was great this year. The weekend started with flowers on Friday at school and a potted flower in a painted pot that Katelyn made for me. Then on Sunday I was woken up by presents and a wonderful breakfast. Katelyn got me the cutest little girl charm to go on my mommy charm bracelet and a relaxing day at the spa, which I will be cashing in on this weekend! We finished the night off with dinner at Buca de Beppo. Yum-O! I love being a mom :)

I had to capture this moment of film. The other night, Chris and I had corn-on-the cob with dinner and Katelyn keept on eying it from across the table. Finally she asked for corn (I was amaized she knew what it was since we rarely eat corn-on-the cob), so I gave it to her. It was too cute not to mention.

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter this year. There was lots of food, fun, family, and of course, gifts! The Easter Bunny was very good to Katelyn with plenty of presents plus the gifts from her grandparents. When I woke her up and told her the Easter Bunny came, she ran straight to the front door and wanted me to open it to see the "Bunny"! I'm so glad the weather cleared up so we could have our egg hunt outside. It was a great end to the weekend.

The Little Tikes Jump House that the Easter Bunny brought. Too bad the Easter Bunny spent hours blowing this up because the weather was bad and it turned out to be pretty outside. BTW, it's still in her playroom. Hope she likes it, because it's taking up every inch.

Passed out early!

Phrase of the Momement

On Tuesday we got a kids catalog in the mail and Katelyn was demanding to see it. She and I sat on the couch, opened the book and the first thing out of her mouth was "Wow (which was totally cute) then, like she had been saying it all her life came "Oh, my God!" Then out of my mouth came "Oh, my God!" I wonder where she gets it from??

I also wanted to include a picture of Katelyn's first pedicure. She was obsessed with my toe nail polish, so I decided to paint hers. Too cute!

I just wanted to share some recent pictures of the family, mostly Katelyn, hanging around the house. Enjoy! Katelyn with her bear's hat on. She wore the hat for ten minutes.

Let's Rodeo

On Tuesday, we went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Katelyn loved seeing all of the animals up close. We even got to pet a goat. Then we headed to the rodeo where we saw Keith Urban :) The last picture is us at the concert. I guess she was the only girl who had their fingers in their ears.

Katelyn masters the Wii

Last Saturday, Chris was playing golf on the Wii. Katelyn, being the persistent girls that she is, begged him for the remote. When Chris strapped the Wii remote to her wrist, she swung and pushed the button without being prompted. This means one of two things. One, she's the next Michelle Wie or two Chris plays entirely too many video games. I'll let you decide. In the mean time, she really was cute swinging the remote around like she knew when she was doing.
