This past weekend was Alumni Weekend back at Trinity, so we loaded up the Pilot and headed Southbound 35. The alumni soccer team LOVED the aspiring soccer player, even if she picked up the ball more than kicked it. (And they all told her not to be a goalie -- sorry Kim!) She even was asked to join in on the team photo. When I get it, I'll post it here. I can't wait to see it!
The other big event of the weekend was Mary Beth's first horsey ride! And we're talking real horse - not the wooden rocker or merry-go-round, though she's getting to be a pro at both of those. Her Uncle Andy took her out to ride his horse. To no surprise, she loved it as well. I kow there are a couple of people in Kansas waiting for these photos so I'll stop rambling and let you enjoy...
I have video too, but the computer isn't cooperating and it's late. So I'll post this weekend. Until then, enjoy Mary Beth and her post-ride celebration.
Two weekends ago (what can I say, Mary Beth keeps us busy), we went to Grapevine Mills for a few things. Three hours later... That place can suck you in. Especially when you pass this and Mary Beth jumps up and down and MUST go on a ride with her Daddy!!
Tuesday we got Kim's Save the Date magnet in the mail and there was a note about it being an "Adults Only Affair." Though Auntie Kim has assured Mary Beth that she's invited to the wedding and beginning of the reception, she didn't take it well. And goodness - I've seen that look before in all our childhood photos. I'd love to say it's on Kim's face, but well, she's definitely my daughter.
Late Wednesday night I went to go check on the sleeping beauty. I'm not sure how she sleeps like this:
Thursday night Bob went to ride in Austin so Mary Beth and I had our Girls' Night dinner at Kinkaids. They LOVE her there. And what's not to love?
Saturday morning the munchkin and I went to Bed Bath & Beyond. She went postal until I placed her on this bed that she fell in love with. I'm not sure if it's because of the bright colors or the softness, but if she actually had a bed I would have had to buy all of it for her. It was painful (for everyone in the store too) when I had to take her off of it.
And then Sunday afternoon we took a family trip to the grocery store. She was NOT having the whole "ride in the cart" thing, so she took over driving duties. No groceries were harmed in the filming of this video.
I don't remember when, but a while back Kim was here and bought Mary Beth shiny, glittery, pink shoes from Target. They were too big and we had to wait for MB to fit in size 5.
But I should have known.
Disney size 5 shoes are not the same as Circo size 5 shoes, and once we finally sat down one morning to put them on THEY WERE TOO SMALL!!! And I'm not kidding when I tell you that she threw a FIT when she couldn't walk in them and we had to change shoes. I mean, threw herself down on the floor and cried to the heavens WHY MUST YOU TEASE ME SO?!?! I can hear my Dad laughing.
So this weekend I took them back and got size 6. I'm her hero now. See photo and video below when she put them on for the first time! She was so happy she had to come sit in my lap. She's a cute goober.
Yeah, yeah, I'm a busy Mom. Just sat down and downloaded photos and videos from my iPhone to post. Sorry! So first post here in a video from Grapefest once Mary Beth was done with the spinning horsies. She was sitting in my lap yesterday looking at photos and videos on the phone and waved back to her daddy's voice from this video. Stinkin' cute. Enjoy:
