Hunkerin' Down Roberts Style!

So Mommmy and Daddy took hunkering down pretty serious at our house, just like Mayor White said...We all loaded into our hallway and slept there. Of course I was really the only one that slept all night...Even Dallas, Flash and Roxy were scared and stayed up with Mommy and Daddy. Luckily our house came through pretty much unscathed, we did lose a shutter and got a little water, but no trees through the roof or water throughout the house...the whole end of our street flooded, so we are thankful we didn't...Anyway, here are our Ike pictures...

Our backyard Saturday morning, the poor pups went out to potty in this mess...yuck!
Roxy "hunkered down" she and Flash slept with Mommy on the cot...they were scaredy cats...
Um, there was a hurricane last night? I didn't even hear it...
Still "hunkerin down" just in case...the trees were still moving quite a bit...
Checking for looters with Daddy...
A little street flooding...it was much worse the next day, but the camera was safe and sound with Mommy and me at Mimi's...we will try to get them from our neighbor...if she ever gets power...

The most priceless sign we saw...of course Daddy almost got us shot trying to check it out :)
20 inch tree on my Impala!!!
Basketball courts by Mimi's house...there is a playground down there as well...
A house one street over...after seeing this, we were glad we "hunkered down" in the hallway!

Meeting the COWS!!!

Sorry for the lack of blogging, we just finally got power, still no internet, so I decided to blog from Mimi's house...sorry, there are tons of pictures!

When Daddy's grandparents evacuated well ahead of Gustav, we decided to go to Huntsville to visit and check out Grandpa's cows...I loved seeing the cows! They were BIG! And I loved watching them!!!

Playing at Grams, check out this sweet dress! Daddy's Godmother Brenda sent it to me...I look like a little doll in it :)

Checking out the cows with Grams...those are some big animals...even bigger than Flash... Mommy, stop with the pictures, I am trying to see the cows...

Amarillo and Kitchen Update

Last weekend Mommy and I went to Amarillo with Mimi for Oma's birthday! It was tons of fun to see everyone and play with Tyler.

Aunt Manda sent me this sweet bib and dress! Too cute :)
Mimi and I at the airport...I sat like a big girl in my own chair and talked to everyone that walked by!
Oma and I eating...

Claire and Tyler playing...
Aunt Manda reading to Tyler, Auntie and I...
I went to Mimi's old office and became a piece of mail! I got to meet all kinds of new friends and I loved everyone!!!
Kent and I played with my moose!
I have also been trying lots of new food, even some fruit...the new ones confuse me at first, but then I like them! So far I have liked everything I have tried...

I have also been trying to drink out of a cup...but I am not a fan at all! Mommy and Daddy are going to keep trying!
Kitchen Update! Mommy and Daddy removed the stove top and the rest of the cabinets last night after I went to bed...we are almost ready for the rest of the sheetrock...

New Pics!

Daddy, Mommy and I have been watching quite a bit of the olympics. I really like when swimming is on...It helps that Phelps is pretty cute :)
Daddy and I watching the opening ceremonies! I loved the drums!!!

First Texans Game! Daddy and I watched the first preseason game!

Last week we had a "Tropical Storm" day...as you can see, my pups and I were pretty scared! It was a busy day of resting!
What a sweet little face!

Kitchen Update

Mommy and Daddy were busy in the kitchen this weekend...they got all of the tile ripped up and it was a mess. Luckily I napped while they used the chipping hammer! After they got done, I took a swim in my new frog pool! Roxy and I both had fun in it! She used it as a giant water bowl!

Also, I have moved on to green beans and I am loving them!

Mommy using the "Bully Tool" scraper!
Daddy's turn...
Now on to the chipping hammer...much faster!
Looking pretty good!

Here are all the new cabinets...Mommy and Daddy have some work ahead of them!
But won't they be so pretty!!!
Loving the new pool! Check out my cute swimsuit with the duck! Thanks Maddie!!
A little tummy time in the pool!

Big Girl Food!

Last weekend I started eating big girl food and I love it! So far I have had rice cereal, barley cereal (I hate it!) and green peas! I can't wait to try all the other goodies Mommy and Daddy bought at the store!

Checking out my new chair!
Looks yummy! Hurry up Mommy!

Grandpa came by so he helped feed me!
Not so sure about these peas...
Oh wait Daddy, I like them! Yum, yum!!!
Daddy and I are a little messy when I eat!

Trip to Colorado

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately, our computer has been messed up and won't get on the internet. Luckily Mommy and I are having a "tropical storm day" so she is loaning me her work computer. So two weeks ago we went to Colorado for Daddy's cousin Bryan's wedding. We stayed a week and had tons of fun! Here are some of my favorite pics! I loved vacation and I was so good all week! I didn't even mind the car, we rode 900 miles in our rental car!

Mommy and I on the way to Vail...the view from our rest stop! And it was cool!
After lunch in Vail...

I woke up at 4:45 the first morning, so since it was Mommy's birthday, Daddy and I let her sleep in and went on a walk! This was the creek we walked down...Mister Bunny and I loved it!!

We rode a Gondola up to the top of Vail Mountain and we went on a hike...

I saw my first snow, so Daddy and I wrote my name in it!
On the Gondola!
We also stayed with our friends Dave and Jan that moved to Denver...This is my new little friend, Emily, she was 4 weeks old when I was there! She is very cute and she shared her toys!!!
On Friday, Uncle Mark and Marli got there and we went to tour Coors! It was cool to see and there was lots to check out! I liked all of the tour and was so good!
Group shot!

Hanging out with Uncle Mark!
This was outside the rehearsal dinner, it was so pretty! Just a little windy!
Grams and I in our party dresses!

Group shot at the wedding!

On Sunday, we went to Colorado Springs, we started at the Air Force Academy...I was apparently not too impressed...I slept the whole time we were there!
After that, we went to Pike's Peak...I was too little to go to the top, so Mommy and I waited at a lake on the way up while the rest checked it out! Mommy was glad we had to stop, it scared her pretty bad when she was little!
Uncle Mark and Daddy at the top...looks pretty high up!
After that, we went to Garden of the gods...it was very cool!
Under the floating rock!

On Monday, we went to the Royal Gorge, we decided to ride a train out to check it out...the train was a little goofy, but I really loved it!

Getting ready to take off!
Mommy and I checking out the Gorge, I obviously was not impressed! But look how Mommy had me dressed, way too many patterns and bright clothes...
On the train on the way back...
Practicing driving...
