auntie kim's housewarming

Kim wanted us Mary Beth at her housewarming party this weekend, so we made the trek down for a long weekend. Oh, and Bob went to UTSA's inaugural football game too. Look what he missed while he was hootin' and hollerin' for the Roadrunners:

 Deceiving photo since it took me over an hour to get her to nap...

BEFORE the boys jumped into the pool and it turned into a mudbath

CUPCAKE!!!

Playing with Grandpa's slot machine. I don't think anyone won money. It may be Dad's last trick...

We stopped by the fantasy football draft on Sunday and then headed to Austin to stay with Trev, Rebecca, the girls and Cannon. Um, we were there for less than an hour when this happened on their street and we FLED.

That's the Steiner Ranch fire in Austin. I think 17 houses on their street were lost completely. It was absolute mayhem. We packed everything up, Bob quickly helped Trev load up some bikes and we were outie. Very scary and I'm happy to report that the Trevelise home is still standing and just has some smoke damage. It could have been far worse.  I was trying not to freak Mary Beth out, and apparently I did a good job because here she is at Rebecca's aunt's house where we fled:



Completely obvlious to the fact that Trev is 3 feet from her telling his family/friends that he probably just lost his home. Ah the life of a child.

What a weekend.

stayin' alive

What can I say... girl's got mad dancin' skills...

auntie kim!

We went to San Antonio this past weekend to get a sneak peek of Auntie Kim's new house. Oh, and for a wedding too. I think Mary Beth had a great time at both -- I'll post video of her on the dance floor later. Needless to say, I believe she was the hit of the wedding.

But she also got some quality time with her Auntie Kim and then with a swing set. And you all know how she LOVES a swingset!

Enjoy!

with apologies to my spurs peeps...

...she knows which one is more important in our home!

goofiness

We went to San Antonio this weekend and Mary  Beth loved on her Auntie Kim. This pretty much sums up the goofiness involved.

good lord i'm a horrible blogger

I guess with the more Mary Beth grows up, the less time I have to blog about her! So let's catch up... back in February we got rid of the front edge of the crib and converted to a toddler bed. My nights have never been the same, as whenever she wakes up in the middle of the night, she proceeds to cry and run to our room. And now she wants to be rocked ALL the time. ??? Hopefully this will end soon because Mama needs her sleep!

And she's getting cuter than ever. Enjoy some pictures to catch up!!

 Daddy time!!

 Rockstar...

 My favorite auntie and me...

 What?

Throw baby in the water time...

 At the zoo with a bunch of animals!

Next I'll post some photos from her two birthday celebrations. That's right. Two celebrations for two years!

happy redhead day!!!

Apparently it's also called St. Patrick's Day. But here at the Francisco household, it's Mary Beth day! Special thanks to Nana for the shamrock shirt - it was a big hit!

at the park with uncle rob!

I think the only thing that could have made the park more fun for Mary Beth was going to it with Uncle Rob. She had a blast!

dancin queen

Seriously, the girl's got mad skills. You MUST watch this video of her dancing to the end of her video before bed...

sleeping beauty

Yes, I'm horrible and haven't posted in a long, long time. So I've just downloaded a TON of photos from my phone and will try to post them for everyone. First up, a collection of our lovely little one in her quietest time: sleep. I LOVE taking pictures of her sleeping. Especially when she's snuggling up to her "Tugga."

mary beth's park

Well, she thinks it belongs to her, at least. Last Saturday we spent over an hour there. So Sunday Bob and I took her back. It was starting to get cold, so we didn't stay as long - but she couldn't get enough of the slides and swing! Little did we know she'd be park-less for a while. It's 14 degrees here right now! Gees! Anyway, enjoy these gems!

from texas to arizona...

I'd love to have a theme for this post -- but really it's just that I'm cleaning up my camera. And Bob is in Arizona and asked me to send him "lots of photos of my baby girl." Awwww. And poor Bob is under the weather so he could use some smiles! Enjoy!

 Mary Beth got some new, sparkly kicks. We matched last week,
though hers are obviously way cooler.

Grandma would be proud that she pulls Tigger down
and sleeps with him!!

  She's got mad dancing skills. Especially to Elmo videos.

And Momma can make pigtails!

Again, Grandma would be so proud!
