Back to School 2013

That time of year again for back to school! Little one did great at drop off this year and no tears were shed.  Which makes me feel so much better.  We will see what next week brings.  She has chapel and spanish this year so we are interested to see what she learns.   

Friends are fun

Summertime is wrapping up around here and school is about to get back into session.  So we have been keeping busy and getting ready.  Of course the weather is finally the 105 degree temps so that makes things super HOT!!! 

Little missy started ballet, tap, jazz and tumble today with her dear little friend Miss L, and they are so tickled pink to be in class together.  I love seeing how her and her friends have "real" conversations with each other and tell little secrets.  

Beating the heat

Summer is flying by too quickly. School supplies are already out as well as fall decor.  Which blows my mind that fall decor is out in July.  Besides that, little one is having a busy summer.

Still just eating the chocolate tops of donuts.  She has zero interest in the rest of the doughnut

Splash pad fun

One of her buddies from school.  They literally run into each others arms when they see each other.  It is like the world stops and is in slow motion.  These two are so sweet with each other!!!

Swim class has gone really well in the last few weeks.  Little one can swim 10 seconds to her teacher and 10 seconds back.  She is beyond proud of herself as we are too.  She loves watching the videos.

Floating on her back.  This helps her with her buoyancy.  Looks like she needs a chocolate milk with a mini umbrella in it to me.

Better late than never...

Yea, I am a little behind on the postings! We had a nice 4th this year with the family, BBQ, swimming and fireworks.  For an added it bonus it was not 105 degrees when the fireworks came on instead it was 85 degrees!!!!

Back at the Sealife with our new little swim buddy!

 

Busy little bee

Look who has hair! Abuelita is getting her luscious locks back!

Little one uses this tree as a stall tactic at Abuelita's when it is time to leave.  She asks to have her picture taken in front of the tree.  She never asks to have her picture taken.  She asks quite a few times and then I have to convince her it is time to go!!!

We went to visit Papa and Gigi this past week and enjoyed the great outdoors!

Our family friend who taught me how to ride horses taught little one this past week too.  She was a bit nervous beforehand but quickly loved every second of it.  She even pretended she was Merida from Brave, shooting her "bow and arrow."

They have peacocks everywhere at his place.  So after riding she got to see the peacocks do their thing and even baby peacocks!

A trip to the hill county isn't complete this time of year without a trip the farms! We picked from blackberries, tomatoes, peaches, onions and squash,

Lunchtime in Fredricksburg!

We stopped in Luckenbach for some music and adult beverages! This little one enjoyed the stage there.  Watch out world, well Mom & Dad anyways.  She requested the song Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  So he obliged.  It was too cute!

Bird whisperer helped this little baby bird try and fly.  Don't worry she did not touch the bird.  She even gave the bird some words of encouragement.

Spending some time at the deer lease watching papa

Nice bass she caught with the help of Papa

We went back to Natural Bridge Caverns with Papa and Uncle M this time.  They were in heaven with all of the wild game there.

Lunch stop in Gruene at the Gristmill!

Ice cream in 111 degree weather, yes!
