Spring Break on the Farm

Mary had a great time on the farm during spring break. We had originally planned on staying from Saturday to Thursday, but our plans changed. We stayed from Saturday to Saturday. There were a couple of days of rain, but when it wasn't she was outside playing. I think her favorite was sitting in her new spot Granny made for her by the fish pond and listening to Ricky on the radio playing polka music. She also had fun when we roasted marshmallows! One morning Doc spotted a mother and baby turtle crossing the driveway. I ran back to get the camera. By the time I got back the mom had already crawled into the tall grass. Mary enjoyed just watching the baby.
Mary enjoyed dancing with everyone, especially the goose!

Rodeo Houston 2007

Mary, Pa-Pa and I made the trip to the rodeo on Wednesday, March 7. We started off a bit rough. We decided to ride the tram, since it was quite a walk. It was all we could do to keep her on the thing. She was not happy. Once we got inside she was so excited to run from one exhibit to the next. She even got to pet Elsie the cow! Her favorite had to be the coloring station. When it was time to leave she was very upset. We decided to walk back to the car since she disliked the tram so much. We made it to the car just in time as it started POURING down rain as soon as we got in. Mary got to see baby chicks hatching and lots of roosters and hens.


Mary got to go in the petting zoo. She loved running from one animal to the next.
During the sing-a-long the musician let Mary play the tambourine! She was so excited.
Mary even got to be in the rodeo! I think we might have a future rodeo clown!

Chuck E. Cheese

Mary enjoyed her first trip to Chuck E. Cheese. She played an hour before she sat down to eat. I thought I would have to take her out kicking and screaming, but she was very tired after playing for an hour and half!

Mary's new thing!

Tonight Mary was quiet for a few minutes. When I asked William if he could see her he said "no." So I called her. She came running into the room with nearly all of undies around her neck. We could not stop laughing. She took me back to the drawer that she had opened and began putting more on. Then, of course, she wanted them off! I had to help her.

Mary enjoyed her first fried chicken leg.

Mary loves her new teddy bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy, that she got for Valentine's Day!

Well, it is snowing again! This is the 3rd time we've had snow since November. Mary had fun watching it snow and getting it on her new shoes.

Mary made a special picture for her Pa-Pa!









Mary is learning to go potty.

First Haircut

Although, Mary has had 3 small trims, this was her first haircut. Granny gave her some bangs. No tears!

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

On Wednesday morning, with Mary and Gus, we drove to Bellville to surprise Pa-Pa. We called ahead to make sure everything was in place. It was perfect timing and he had no clue that we were coming. On Friday night Gus made a new friend with a skunk. So, on Saturday morning just Mary came back with me.
