Go Texan Day!

Amy celebrated Go-Texan day in style!!! Thanks to her friends Miss Julia and Miss Erin! The dress is a hand me down from Julia's little girl and is absolutely precious :) And Miss Erin got Amy boots from the Stockyards in Fort Worth!!! And they are so cute!!! It did take her a while to get used to walking on the heel, but she likes them now!!! She will be set to go to the rodeo! Sorry, these are not the best pictures, she was on the move :) And just ignore the concrete...we are hoping to have the tile installed soon!

Update!

Mom is a little behind...so Amy's birthday was fabulous! But both of her aunts beat me to pictures! So you can check out their blogs to see her birthday pictures!!! She LOVED her cake and getting all the attention! She also had a lot of big cousins to open her presents, so she just got to play with the tissue paper! Here are some other recent pictures...

She really loves Mimi's piano! Although Mimi keeps telling her she is not Elton John and needs to learn to play sitting down first! Please ignore the diaper...these pants are a little big!)
While Tyler was down, Aunt Manda read them a story...look how sweet, he even put his arm around his baby cousin...

Then maybe the arm got a little rough! Luckily Aunt Manda separated them :)

Also, Amy has become obsessed with the fish tank at church, we had to play by it 10 minutes on Sunday...so Mimi bought her her own goldfish! She loves them! She had to sit last night and check them out!

First Birthday!!!

Today is Amy's birthday!!!! We can not believe she is a year old!!! Time flies when you are having fun! We go to the doctor today and we are excited to see how big she is officially!

Also, she is now officially a walker! Last Wednesday after school the dogs were out back and she just took off walking from the couch to the back door to visit with them...Now she is all over the place!

We took her this weekend to have her one-year old pictures and I put some of our favorites below:

He kept trying to give her a stuffed animal, but she only wanted the football, so we gave in and let her play with it instead :)

Little Piano Player

Last night, Daddy was helping Mimi get things set up at her new apartment, so Mimi and I took a little break to play the piano...I LOVE IT!!! It was super noisy and fun!!!
