Marianne got confirmed (way to go MAM), so Grandma flew down to take care of her grandbabies (US) for the week so Ga and PaPa/PopPop could drive to Missouri. Grandpa flew down Thursday and we all headed down to the beach.

On Saturday, mama, dada and I went for a "family boat ride."
When we got out on the water, I got to try driving.
This way!!
Such fun!
We spent lots of time on the beach soaking up the beautiful weather.
Lots of hours we've spent in this sand at Crystal Beach!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

We dressed in green to celebrate!
Keegan too, posing with a mudpie, of course.
Riding the Jeep!
We don't stay still for long. At all.
Cutting flowers for Grandma coming from Chicago tomorrow, which we forgot to give to her. Oops.
Easily distracted by Keegan's new favorite activity, rolly polly collecting.
Iphone break out of the sun.

One of my most favorite things in the world is "Bee bee", which is any device on which I can watch the You Tube video You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby by Dean Martin with flashing pictures of babies.

And I get really, really, really mad if you take it away.

This spring has been great for spending time in the back yard. These pictures were from a while ago, when it was still a little chilly.

The adults tried to discourage me from going up the ladder into the playhouse but

It didn't work.

At all. I'm brave. Or crazy. Or both.

Keegan brought mud pies up into the playhouse and we had a blast throwing them down the slide.

And then we got cleaned up. Or made a bigger, cleaner, mess with bubbles.

I went to a TaeKwonDo tournament as a red belt Tiger Cub.

This may be the only evidence that I am actually one of two kids paying attention.
My turn to perform...
Knife hand
Strike!!
Telling Mr. Atchley what my favorite kick is...
flying front kick!! You can see dada in the back taking a picture too.
Tournaments are fun. This was my third.
Proud dada.

Mama had a partner dinner, so dada took me and Keegs to the beach on Thursday for Mardi Gras weekend. I am loving the red wagon these days.

We picked out our hats.
What a tail!
Meanwhile, Keegan was hanging out with a turtle that came up from the slew.
The weather on Saturday was foul. It rained all morning and we were pretty stir crazy. Finally, it was time for the parade.
Dada sandwich!
Keegan decided to wear the "dragon" hat after all.
And Ga's special glasses!
I wore the court jester hat. I had quite an outfit on.
The parade!
Super cool floats, every year!
Wow! Look at these beads I got. Special ones with a movable bird!
Putting my loot in the wagon. Except for the bunny rabbit stuffed animal I got. It's staying with me.
Keegan's wearing a Bonnie "Holland" sweatshirt. That's where he'll go to Kindergarten next year, while I'll be starting Second Baptist on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The boys watching the fire engine come by.
The Mardi Gras parade at Crystal Beach never disappoints!
On Sunday, Keegan sorted through the loot and picked out beads to bring to each student in his class.
Paw paw took me for my first ride on the mower. I was not a fan, where Keegan would have ridden all day. Maybe in the summer...
I much prefer to try to crawl into Ga's garden.
Ga and Papa's yard is looking great! And you should taste the asparagus and definitely the horse radish!
Taking a rare break, to chill on the golf cart.
Keegan bringing me bunny rabbit for the ride back to Katy, and dada in the background getting Mac loaded in the van. Heading home! Can't wait for Mardi Gras next year!
