Happy Easter!!

Thanks to my Mommy's wonderful mommy group, we were busy with Easter festivities. First, we had an Easter Egg Hunt out at Winthrop Lake and although it was windy & cool, I had so much fun searching for eggs.

Kaitlyn was showing me her eggs so far...

The wind was blowing my hair everywhere

Here's one of my favorite color, pink

Then, I got one of Mommy's favorite color

I was all done once my basket was full!

Since it was too chilly to have the picnic outside, we found shelter in Mommy's car & ate some delicious pizza.

Another day, we dyed Easter eggs at Cherry park, with yet again, cooler weather but beautiful sunshine.

Kaitlyn and I shared our dye

It was fun to make all the pretty colors

I got really good at picking up the eggs

Later, I'll tell you about Grandpa & MaGa Gette's trip for Easter, plus what the Easter bunny brought me!

BBQ Competition

For Uncle Andre's 30th birthday, he wanted to compete in a BBQ competition. Being a certified BBQ judge, he was ready and prepared to give it his all (and he did- it was delicious!) Memphis and I loved playing on the playground nearby and of course, eating BBQ. (For those family & friends not from the South, the BBQ here is Pork- Butts & Ribs in this case with typically a vinegar-based sauce & a yummy mustard one also from Uncle Andre!)

Happy Memphis on the slide

I could eat my cookie and slide at the same time

Grand Daddy loved showing off his granddaughters (and the super-cool logo of Uncle Andre's group, Proud Purveyors of Pork)

Who wouldn't want to get BBQ from these cuties?

Getting my first sample from cousin Robert

Being a good older cousin & helping Memphis eat some (or probably rationing it so I could keep it for myself!)

Another good look at the awesome logo

My neighbor, Campbell, came out to support us and showed off the team logo

The birthday boy, Uncle Andre, with his birthday brownies

I am showing off the logo well too!

Grand Daddy always makes me smile

Not bad for the first competition- #26 out of 32 teams

At Olive Garden to continue the birthday celebration, Memphis couldn't help but double-fist their yummy breadsticks.

And I was happy to enjoy my special treat, Sprite, to drink

Preschool Family Day

For Family day at St. John's preschool, I got to perform with my friends for Mommy and then have snacks. Here are me and Leila getting ready:

This is Kaitlyn and her mommy Kim

It's hard to say cheese when you are eating a muffin!

Warning- the videos may be long and Mommy is laughing throughout them!
The Bubble Gum song-


Months song (I had trouble with the arm motions)-


Tooty-ta, tooty-ta? song (So funny, but long!)-

Introducing...

...my new cousin, Landon Douglas Pettis, born Feb. 26! We are heading up to Baltimore for my Spring Break to meet him so I will have more pictures to share when we get back. Isn't he cute?!

Curious George Live!

One of my most favorite people, Georgie, came to Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte and I was lucky to go see him! It was a girl's outing with Mommy, Ms. Emily & Ayla, and Ms. Helena & Chloe.

Here we are ready to go inside and being very good holding hands

We can barely contain our excitement to see Georgie on stage!

Even my red-shirt Georgie came along to see the show- we had great seats!

What an amazing stage!

It was very magical and enjoyable

All of his friends came along for the show

I got a cool Georgie toy that spins and lights up (thanks, Mommy)

I started to get a little tired near the end of the show, waiting to see what would happen next

But, I perked up again to get my picture taken with my favorite monkey!

Mommy wanted her picture with Georgie too.

Ayla, me & Chloe will never forget how much fun we had at Curious George Live!

Is it March already?!

Where does the time go?? I guess when you are busy like we are, it flies by! Mommy and I enjoy being busy, but sometimes Daddy makes us slow down and smell the flowers. Our recent adventures took us to Texas to visit MaGa & Grandpa Gette, plus Mommy & Daddy went to the wedding of Doug & Christina York, one of Mommy's bridesmaids. I am a good traveler and enjoyed napping the entire plane ride there. It's easier now that I get my own seat.

Here is the happy couple for their first danceMommy, Christina aka beautiful bride & Pia- old (not old, just a long time ago) friends from high school
While they were at the wedding, I enjoyed Thomas at the Grapevine Railroad Museum- Aunt Leanna took me for a ride on Thomas!! Sorry no pictures to share, since Mommy & Daddy missed it. I needed a good bubble bath after all the playtime:
It's fun to goof off with George!
We ate dinner at Freebirds (best burritos ever!) and saw Mommy's friend, Laura, with new baby Jackson- isn't he adorable?! I wanted to play with his toys with him, but he's still too little. He did smile at me though!
Then, I went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to check out their new special children's area. George came along (of course) and he needed to get a shot at the hospital
I practiced my balancing skills (although I kept one foot on the ground here) which are usually great on curbs!
I went grocery shopping all by myself
Aunt Leanna helped me check-out since it was a little more complicated
I got lots of hugs from Aunt Leanna! Thanks for taking the day off from school to join us!
We were reading all about the trolley system in Fort Worth
And then I "rode" a trolley with Grandpa! (Actually, the background just moved, but it was still cool.)
Back at the hospital, "Doctor" Eleanor washed up for some procedures on George.
George helped me drive the ambulance too!
And lastly, Aunt Leanna saved me from the giant alligator's mouth!!
