Strawberry Picking 2011

Livestock Show and Rodeo Day 2011

It's March, which means it's time to get in the Texas spirit and head to the rodeo. Mia's a little young for that, so we headed to the livestock show instead. She loved seeing the animals, especially the little chicks hatching. Olivia got to ride the big Ferris wheel for the first time. We all had such a great time!
Before spring break started, Olivia celebrated Rodeo day at school. Mia even got into the spirit and wore her pink boots to school too. (Olivia's hat looks so silly in these pics. It really did fit!)

Happy Birthday Mia!!

Mia celebrated her first birthday February 23rd. We had a great time taking her to the Alvin Wildlife park and had a yummy lunch-Texas style at T-bone Toms. She finished off her day with some home made cupcakes.





We also had a little Cowgirl party for her at home later that week. We all had such a good time. Both sets of grandparents, Aunt Ana and Uncle Brad, and lots of friends were able to celebrate with us. We love her so much and we feel so blessed that she could be surrounded by so many others that love her too.
As sad as I am that this first year is over, I am looking forward to all that we can experience as a family. She's definitely her own person and wants to participate in everything that we do. I can't wait to see where this next year takes her. Stay tuned!
