Howdy Ya'll

Last weekend we took a trip to Texas to visit our family there. It was such a good time. T remembered her Papa and Gramma there like she had seen them yesterday! Unfortunately, it had been a while since we had been there to visit. We need to make sure we have more regular visits there. We got to see lots of family, Tatum got 2 birthday parties and lots of presents. We went to Granny's farm and T got to see real live cows too! We all know how much she loves cows so that was a treat for her! She was pretty apprehensive about getting too close and so were the cows so we kept our distance. We got to spend the night with my brother and sister in law and their kids one night too and the kids had such a great time. Zoe is quite the little mommy and took great care of T. It took the family a while to get used to the constant nudity that comes along with hanging out with T but everyone was so great about it and papa and Gramma even bought her her very own potty AND let her potty in the living room like she does at home. We cant wait to see everyone next time we go and cant wait to see my dad and mom when the make the trip from Texas this summer to Az! Not sure why they come in the summer but hey, to them, its a dry heat! :) Our hair didnt love Texas, thats for sure. T's hair curled up into little ringlets and mine, well, lets just say it wasnt adorable. It was humid as all get out and rained quite a bit so you can imagine the curl we had goin on!

T loves to pick up trash and put it in the

trash can. Here she is doing it at the airport.

This is the first time she used the potty in a public

place. We did some good hand washing after this one! Dont

worry, the paper covered the sides where she is holding on..I made sure of that.

Saying good bye :(
One last photo

One of her fav presents was the bag the present came in.

It is not a bag though, its a "purse"

ears

Tatum driving the buggy

She had to get "time out" once at Jason and Kim's and I put

her inside. I thought for sure she would get down and come out

but this is how I found her when I checked through the window. Still

sitting there like a big girl.

Zoe helping her make a basket.

And swimming of course

Showing off her new suit. Believe me, it didnt stay on

for long.
