Better Bluebonnet Pictures!

I want to sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of bluebonnets
In a blanket made of stars
Oh it sounds good to me
Yes it sounds so good to me

Cowboy take me away.....

These Dixie Chics lyrics come to mind every spring when the bluebonnets are in bloom. And now, thanks to a helpful tip from Carrie, I have good pictures in the bluebonnets. No more measly little patches! While Leah and Willa were in town, we went to a nearby park and took pictures with the girls and this time there were more than just a small bouquet of bluebonnets! Yea!

Apparently Jenna is all about sleeping in the bluebonnets!

Tia Leah and Willa Come to Town!

My oldest friend (and by oldest, I mean the friend I have have had the longest in my life! :-)), Leah and her daughter Willa came for a visit last week to meet Jenna. We had a blast. Willa was so great with Jenna, and Jenna thought she hung the moon. She was very impressed with the "Big Girl."

Willa was quite the helper during her visit. She was always bringing us things from other rooms and swiffing the tile!


Willa loved being with Jenna when she was in her swing. She even helped her swing faster when the swing was not going fast enough in Willa's opinion!

Me and Jenna at our very first story time at the Frisco Library.

Girls Day Out... all of us at the Frisco Library. The story read was called, "Feeley Bugs." It was so cute, I ordered one for Jenna!

Lunching Ladies at Bonnie Ruth's. Yummy!

Jenna Discovers Toys! What Fun!

Jenna really loves her Baby Einstein Exersaucer. She has so much fun and took so many cute pictures in it, that I had to put up three of them!

The moment I showed her "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," she lit up! It is her favorite toy to chew on!

After being on her car seat for months already, she finally noticed the little frog and duck and decided that she liked them!

The Many Faces of Jenna

Jenna has has grown quite a repertoire of expressions lately. I think she is definitely trying to communicate something important!

"Thank you Lord for Mommy's milk!"

"How you doin'?"
"Weeeeeee!!!!!!"

Such a happy baby!

What do you think she might be saying?

Happy Easter!

This year was Jenna's first Easter! We celebrated by of course going to church and then headed to brunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Amato's. Mimi (whose name has been shortened to "Meems") is in town because she took the first shift of "Operation Mommy Goes Back to Work." She will be here until the end of the week and then Grandma comes, and Tia Leah and Willa too!

Mommy and Daddy with Jenna

She's actually squealing in this picture, not screaming as it appears!

She is loving her fingers!

She was really ready to be done taking pictures at this point!

Jenna Meets the Easter Bunny

I was wanting to get some mileage out of Miss Jenna's Easter dress, so I put her in it and off we went to meet the Easter Bunny! I love it! She even smiled!

Texas Bluebonnets

For those who do not live in Texas, springtime is the time to drive around and take pictures of your cute kids in fields of bluebonnets. Usually this is not a challenging task. This year however, the fields are sparse with the State Flower. Being the determined person that I am, I called up my friend Carrie, to see if she and her daughter, Katie would like to join Miss Jenna and me on a trek around town to find some bluebonnets. We ended up driving all afternoon and found a pathetically small patch about an hour or so away from home!!! I just couldn't give up!

This is Jenna less than impressed withe bluebonnets.

The girls together. Aren't they cute?

The "bouquet of bluebonnets." Isn't it sad? Right next to a ditch with litter. Whatever happened to "Don't Mess With Texas?"

Mommy and Jenna...
