Princesses and Pirates

First thing Saturday morning, Zuri decided to dress up as Cinderella.  By first thing, I mean 7am.  She was dressed as Cinderella while we made pancakes!  

She kept the dress on all day long!!!  Daddy went on a road trip so Zuri, I mean Cinderella, and I had lunch and went shopping with Aunt Julie and Papaw John.  On our way out of Target, Zuri decided it was nap time.  :o)

After a short nap, we went down to see Uncle Gary and Skittles.  We got home, ordered pizza, and hung out with Papaw, Aunt Brandii, Jeremy, and Jonathan.  Zuri made us all (minus Papaw) play Duck, Duck, Goose.  That's her new favorite game!  Here's a picture of her with Jonathan.

This morning, Papaw John brought us donuts for breakfast.  Zuri would eat the sprinkles off her donut and then hold her hands up like a monster and say, "Rawrrrr!!"  

After breakfast, Zuri read to us.  She had to help Papaw with his Spanish (via Dora the Explorer).  :o)

 

Today, Zuri went to her first classmate birthday party.  The theme was Jake & The Neverland Pirates.  Max was so excited to see Zuri when we walked in.  It was cute!  The cake was awesome and was made by Max' grandpa!

After cake, it was time to sing to Max and go play.  At Incredible Pizza, the birthday boy or girl gets to sit in a golden chair out front and everyone sings happy birthday.  Zuri wanted to sit in the chair with Max.  It really was cute to see the two of them together!

Then it was time to play.  Zuri had a blast!  

Finally, we had dinner with Andy, Anne, and Bri.  It was a late night for Zuri.  She didn't get to bed until almost 9!  :o)

We hope everyone else had a great weekend!

P.S. This Friday is Zuri's 3rd birthday.  I can't believe it!!!

iPad Photo Booth Fun!

Zuri + Having Papaw Wrapped = ????

A TRIP TO THE MALL!!!!!!!!

After we had lunch today, Zuri and I went to the mall.  Zuri asked Papaw to go.  I'm not sure Papaw has ever been to the mall, let alone inside Gymboree and the children's section of JCPenney's!!!  :o)

At JCPenney's, we came across a humongous Olaf from the movie Frozen.  Zuri liked him, but didn't want him (thank goodness because he was way too expensive!).

After we settled on some Sofia the First figurines, we checked out and Zuri decided to carry the bag.  She carried it like a purse.  It was cute!

I am We are glad Papaw went with us.  He kept an eye on Zuri while I shopped around.

Who knows, maybe next time Zuri will sucker talk Papaw into taking her for a mani/pedi?!  ;o)

A New Friend

Today, Aunt Julie came by with LB.  Zuri and LB had never met.  LB was shy at first, but then warmed up (and even started pulling Brent's toes!!).  The two of them played here for a little bit and then we went to lunch.  Zuri started to get jealous before we even left (imagine that).  She wanted to ride in Julie's car.  LB wanted to ride in Julie's truck.  There's only 1 car seat in Julie's vehicle!  So, with some persuasion (Mickey Mouse on my iPhone), LB rode with me and Zuri rode with Julie (Zuri getting her way is unheard of, right?!).  Here's a picture of Julie with both kids before we left.

At Don Pablo's, LB started dipping his gummy bears in the queso blanco!  He must have thought it tasted good.  Who are we to judge?  I had to take pictures though.  ;o)

Julie gave LB her comb so he could brush his hair.  He wanted to brush everyone's hair; even Papaw's!  Of course, then Zuri had to do the same.  I'm not sure either one ever reached his hair.  I think they both just stabbed his head with the teeth of the comb.  LOL

Here's the best picture I could get of the two of them next to each other.  Can you believe they are 2 months apart in age and LB is older?!  He is just small for his age and Zuri is big for her age!!!  The waitress commented on how cute they both were and I'd have to agree!

Happy Birthday, Hayes!

Saturday was Hayes' birthday (Zuri's cousin).  We went shopping Friday night far in advance for his gift.  Zuri picked out a seed & soil kit for herself and for Hayes.  Zuri was excited to get hers ready Saturday morning!  You'll notice she is telling me what we are going to do ("We'll put this in there.").

At the party, Zuri had fun playing around in the play land.  Her favorite part, however, may have been feeding Hayes' little brother, Nash.  :o)

We hope Hayes had a great day!!!
