Happy Birthday Daddy (and Uncle Chad)!!

Enjoying my new water table.

Well, it appears we either have nothing or too much to share in way of pictures/ videos!!

One day last week, Mommy and I got to go to Dairy Queen and have some ice cream. We then went home, planted some flowers, and I gladly helped water them.

Can you believe my Daddy and Uncle Chad were born on the very same day one year apart? Happy Birthday to them this past Saturday!

Mommy and I tried to make Daddy's day special. It was low-key with us not knowing lots of people here, but Daddy says he really enjoyed it.

We decorated the house. Daddy got home after midnight Friday from work and walked in to baloons and streamers:
(and the new couch for those that have asked)
I helped make him breakfast:
I [helped] open all his presents:
I enjoyed his Cold Stone Creamery cake....TWICE :)We also spent the weekend working on the yard. Mommy and Daddy decided to do some more landscaping. Bonus for me = I got a water table! This is hours of outside fun in the heat and sunshine. Mommy said it was a worth-while investment with as much use as I got out of it on Sunday and I can only imagine the remainder of the summer!
Drinking like Daisy.
And then I thought...Climb in!

Okay, I think that was most the excitement this past week - all wrapped up into our weekend. We are definitely enjoying this Texas sunshine and hope that feeling stays with us all year. Although we have learned we are either extra sensitive from England or TX sun is a lot hotter than we are used to. Daddy got a sunburn and he was only out for 20 minutes the first time - he's already tan though, of course!

***Couldn't decide which video I love most... What can I say, I'm her mom - they are all cute! And they are more for all those Grandmas that don't get to see her everyday.
Enjoy at your will.

Love to you all, x
