Aunt Liza and Stephen came to visit a few weekend ago. We went to visit the Bayou Wildlife Safari. You ride around in a truck and see lots of wild animals.
I was very confused about this. I thought it was more fun looking through the holes the other direction.


Aunt Liza has to look glamorous, even at a dirty petting zoo!

Here are the goats trying to eat my hair.

Kissy, Kissy, Kissy!


All by myself!!!! The lady was shocked that I could ride without my mommy or daddy next to me! Hey, I'm no city slicker!!!


Good Ol' American Buffalo


This is the camel that almost spit on Liza.




Clearly, I'd rather play the wii than pose for the camera.



Dancing with Daddy to a new Rick Trevino song called "Olivia." It's a little twangy but we all love it!








Valentine's Day

We spent Valentine's Day in Temple. I had so much fun going to my first Mexican Dance. I danced all night long. I didn't really like dancing by myself, having a partner is much more fun!



Playgroup was at our house for the Valentine's party. There were 20 kids there in all!!! The house was packed, but it was so much fun! We had cookies, muffins, juice, and of course, Valentine's Bags!

The J-Rods come to visit

Roman and Uncle J.R. playing with the awesome water guns at the museum. They added a cool new section with boats, rivers, water guns, and fountains.

Las Vegas


I won $100 at one blackjack table in about 45 minuts. And, yes, I walked away with it!









Cesar and I enjoyed a weekend vacation to Las Vegas. Olivia stayed in Pearland with Nana and Paw Paw. We won some money, saw a great magic show-Lance Burton, and relaxed.



WinterFest












Olivia had lots of fun at Pearland's Winterfest. She rode rides, played in the inflatables, rode a pony, and went to a petting zoo. It was a great day!



Swimming



Olivia is now taking swim lessons 2 days a week with her BFF Annika. She absolutely loves it! There are 3 girls in the class with one instructor, Mr. Brett. The parents wait in the lobby and watch the pool from the t.v. screen. Olivia is so happy to go every day and does whatever Mr. Brett says. She is so brave and fearless! It's even starting to create a problem, she wants to wear her swim diapers every day and drags her towel around saying, "Time to go swimming!"

I am so proud of Cesar!!! He got his MBA!!!


Sorry this post is so late! Now that I'm working 4 days a week, I just can't keep up!
