Feeding Chloe

 Meet Chloe, She is our 4 1/2 year old Mini Schnauzer.  She is the sweetest dog you will EVER meet!!!

Audrey LOVES Chloe.  It is so fun to see Audrey reach the age where she is torturing playing with Chloe.

Audrey has a new found "chore". She has started feeding Chloe.  It all started when she wanted to be the one to put Chloe's food in her bowl.

Then, that became a little old, and she decided that she wanted a little more control over the situation...

As you can see she drops one piece at a time for Chloe.

Then that became old so we have started throwing pieces across the room so Chloe has to chase after them. 

Poor, poor Chloe.  She has now just resorted to eating the food that Luke drops on the floor. Its just too much work to get it the other way :)

February Catch Up

I know I was MIA for a bit during February, so I thought I would just catch us all up on what we did last month.

We had a few days of cool weather, but we enjoyed them outside...

Spent one morning building a tent and reading lots of books while under it...
And of course when daddy came home from lunch he had to check it out as well :)

 Deba (my mom) sent these adorable outfits for the kids.  I tried to get a good picture, however this is what I got.....

"Laissez le bon temps rouler" (let the good times roll)  We had a few friends over to celebrate Mardi Gras with us.  We had the usual, jambalaya, salad, and of course king cake.  However, I thought I had the color sprinkles that I needed, but at 10:00 the night before I realized that I didn't.  My wonderful husband had the idea that we could separate the colors out that we needed (never expecting that I would do it)  You would think he would know be better :)  (and yes I'm a wee bit OCD)

 Poor Jonathan....

 But the cake was great!!!

We love looking outside!!

We also spent some time playing the piano. I played piano since I was too short to use the pedals. Its so much fun to have my little red heads wanting to play with me :)

However my favorite part about last month was getting together with Mona. She helped me make the kids Easter outfits. 

We had the best little model....

 I love this picture of her!!

I think they turned out so cute!!!

Well, that was our February!

Rodeo- Houston Style

On Monday we ventured to our first Houston Rodeo!! Our friends Mona and Barry kept Luke for us so we could take Audrey by herself.  We had such a great time!

We first when to the children's area..
Audrey loved the chickens

 They had this area where you could see the little chicks try and hatch out of their eggs..

 

In the petting zoo area they had baby sheep, goats, pot belly pigs, a fawn,  and an emu...

 Daddy trying to protect her from hungry goats....

My favorite...

 

 

 Bessie the cow

Longhorn

 A baby sheep that was 2 days old...

Then we went to the rodeo. Anytime Audrey would see horses she would yell and clap. It was so much fun watching her enjoy it...

 

 And of course we can't forget the food! We had a wonderful BBQ sandwich. And I had a fried oatmeal cream pie, yes fried!! It was the best thing I have EVER had!!!

We all can't wait till next year!!!
