We are family...

Along with Cassidy's cousin Addison visiting, were Addison's mommy and daddy and Cassidy's cousins, Tami and Kacey, cousin Jed and cousins Cally and Maggie. What a fun weekend!

Cassidy and Addison with their daddies!
Cassidy's cousin Jed and Addison's Uncle Jed...got it? Grandpa Walter with his four granddaughters Tami, Cally, Maggie and Cassidy and Addison, his great granddaughter... got that one?

Cassidy and Addison

Cassidy's cousin Addison came in town this weekend and they were quite the busy girls. The girls played together, ate together, bathed together and streaked together.

Spaghetti and Chocolate

Cassidy has discovered chocolate! Look out!

Cassidy goes to Sea World

Cassidy went on her first outing to Sea World this evening and saw everything from sea lions, walruses, beluga whales, dolphins, penguins, horses, donkeys, kangaroos, dogs, cats, birds and ducks.

SIDENOTE: I often have to remind myself to "stop and smell the roses" because something I have seen too many times to count, my daughter is seeing for the very first time. To see her smile, hear her laugh and squeal at something she is witnessing for the very first time makes me realize how precious life is and how good God is to us.


Cassidy really liked meeting Oliver, the kangaroo.



Cassidy also got to meet Natalie, the donkey, who thinks she is one of the Clydesdale Horses.


Cassidy preferred the stuffed penguins over the real penguins!

Eating deer sausage

Robert makes sausage for the (very spoiled) dogs, and recently Cassidy has been teasing the dogs with the sausage by running around the house with it in her hand. She has started saying "saus" when she wants to give them sausage, but she ends up eating it for herself. Cassidy is making her daddy very proud by eating venison:)

Cassidy and Bevo

Cassidy went to the New Braunfels Childrens Museum with Grayson and of all the things she played with and saw, seeing the Longhorn up close was her favorite. Daddy better hurry and get her up to Baylor to see the bears or she might be a convert!

Playing in the rain

Cassidy loves playing in the rain. She gets mad when we bring her back in because she would rather be out playing and getting wet. She's a silly girl!

Mommy's Birthday

We celebrated my 30ish birthday this evening with Cappy, Nonna, Grayson, Daddy, Christine and of course, the star of the show, no, not me, Cassidy(see bottom right picture)! It was a lot of fun!

 

The Look

This is the look I get when SOMEONE doesn't get their way!

 

Smiling and Swinging

Cute cousins

Cassidy and Grayson had lots of fun playing at the park today.

 

A very wet Fourth of July

We said we would attend our neighborhood parade, rain or shine. Well, guess what? It rained and it rained hard, but since we had told Cassidy and Grayson they would be in the parade, we continued on our adventure. The adults were soaked, but Cassidy and Grayson were actually having the best time in their covered and decorated wagon. I made Cassidy and Grayson very fashionable raincoats. Cassidy donned a small bathroom trash bag, while Grayson was modeling a very trendy kitchen trash bag...no white trash comments, please! Although the parade was cancelled, they did still have lots of fun things for the kids. Personally, I thought it was the best parade to date, but that might have been because the rain actually kept it cool and we all got to play in the rain.

More peas, please!

Cassidy loves vegetables, especially peas!

Big kids table

Cassidy's cousin Grayson is in town visiting this week, and they had snack today at the big kids table. What happened to my baby girl?

Shhh...Baby Sleeping

Cassidy has been sleeping later and later every morning. When I went in this morning, this is the position I found her in...snug as a bug in a rug:)
