The Park

Well, I would have posted these pictures earlier but I was having some major problems with Blogger. I tried for an hour and it kept telling me "bad request". Last week, we went to the park in Jourdanton, which is like our Clute as far as proximity goes. We took a picnic and met our friends Tawny, Channing and Jaxson there. We had a lot of fun! The girls got so dirty, though, because it had rained the night before and there was standing water in one of the slides. They were wet and muddy. They didn't seem to mind too much, though.

Finally!!! I was able to get the pictures up. Yay! I had to use a different browser, but I'm glad that it worked.

Playing Outside

These days, Tanner LOVES playing outside so we try to go out for at least an hour or so every day. These are some pictures that I took of her with our new camera outside. We are loving having a camera again. Two weeks without one doesn't seem like a long time, but with a toddler it is an eternity! You can miss so much in just one day! Tanner is getting funner and funner every day! We are having so much fun watching her grow and playing with her. She is saying so much these days, and she is even speaking in two word sentences. She will say "Mama, dog" when she sees a dog or "Mama, down" when she wants down. She also says "Do doey!". We have no idea what this means, but we think it may be "okie dokie". I say that a lot, so that is our best guess! She says "hawaii" even though she has no idea what she is saying. She also says "Didi" for her GiGi and "Papa" for her G-Paw. She hasn't quite figured "Gammie" out but she says "Ma" for Mac. She says "eat, eat", "night, night", "mouth", "ear", "bye, bye", "buh" for book, "ba" for bath, "baby", and her absolute favorite word to say is "Daey!!!" for Daddy. She walks around the house pointing at his pictures and saying "Daey"!! It is really cute. Right now, he can do no wrong. She asks for him in the morning when she wakes up, and if he is not here to put her to sleep she asks for him then too. She loves him soooo much! Her G-Paw recently taught her how to howl like a dog and she thinks it is so much fun! He also taught her to "blow her nose". We put a tissue up to her nose and she makes the blowing noise with her mouth. It is funny! Speaking of that, this morning I sneezed and she copied me by fake sneezing. Funny girl! On to the pictures!

Tanner was cracking herself up at the dinner table that night
I told you she loves him soooo much!

Her two front teeth



I have no idea what kind of face this is!
She loves getting rocks from our flower bed and throwing them in the tree surround. Pretty soon, our we will have no more rocks in the flower bed!

Finding the perfect one to throw in the tree!
I thought this picture was funny

Walking the catwalk!



She was sticking all of the pins in the holes on the putting green and she thought it was pretty fun
She loves the water that sprays out of the hose
She was howling like a dog in this picture


This is an owl that Randy bought us to scare away birds in our back yard and she LOVES him!! She says "Ow!"!

Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures!

Here are a ton of pictures that were on our old camera. We got a new camera because Tanner took our old one for a swim in her milk that spilled out of her sippy cup! I was finally able to transfer these photos off of the card in the old camera by putting it in the new one when we got it yesterday. I took a ton of photos with the new camera yesterday and I will add a few later. I LOVE it! It's a Canon Rebel XS and it is awesome! Now I just need to learn how to work it!

Tanner was playing in our friend's playhouse. I think she is "cooking" something in this picture.
Hey Tanner!
We went to eat lunch with Clinton one day and this was taken at the restaurant, Nolan's, which is owned by Nolan Ryan.
Our little armadillo was busy digging up our yard!




She likes to move furniture.....
If you can't tell!
Tanner's first skinned anything! She skinned her toe on the fireplace and we put a bandaid on it. She thought that was really weird and wanted it off immediately!
Going for a ride on a "cow".

Reading a book in her tent
She got her hat out of her room and was walking around talking on the phone and pushing the bubble popper. It was pretty funny.
I like her shoes
My friend, Cassie, turned 30 and we had a spa day to celebrate. We went to the Windflower Spa at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and it was AMAZING! We had such a great time.

Here is a video we took of Tanner playing with the water hose:
