Twin Spires

We went to watch the horsies race today. We bet on the horses and the very first race, Mommy won! She was excited. And they took kids on a tour and we went up the moving stairs to the high floors. We got to take our picture by the tall building [famous twin spires at Churchill Downs].

I like it when we watched the horsies walk by us and they get splashed with water after they race. And then the horse that wins gets his picture taken. I don't think the horse smiled though.

Strawberry Fest-i-bull

We went to the Strawberry Fest-i-bull [that is how Riley says "festival"]. I was talking about it all week since I heard about it from Aunt Cindy. Mommy put us in our strawberry outfits.

I played some games and jumped in a bouncy thing. I met my friend Kaidyn there. We jumped together and kept getting in trouble for picking up rocks. And I ate some cotton candy!

Luci ate a little bit of it too. Look at my blue tongue! Hahaha!!!

Then me and Daddy made our own strawberry shortcakes. I put so much strawberries and whip cream on it that you couldn't see the cake. It was yummy.

Feeding Luci

Mommy and Daddy say that Luciana is a picky eater. She doesn't eat alot of things like me. I even ate some sushi the other day. Uncle Tim was impressed. Sometimes we play games when we are eating. I like it when Daddy does the slide or the airplane to me. So I wanted to do the airplane for Luci so she would eat her banana.

Poco

We went to a party for the horse race (Kentucky Derby). We went to my friend's Lilly and Emma's house. There were lots of kids there. All of the kids got to make their own horse. Mommy helped me make my horse and I named him Poco. There was a race for all of the kids and their horsies. I was trying to run fast but then I saw that I wasn't going to win and I got mad. I was upset but Mommy told me that it was okay because some of those kids were older than me. Daddy said that he likes that I want to win all of the time.


I know that look like I'm still mad about the race in this picture but it was still a fun party though. [Daddy note: if you get 2 out 3 smiles, you take it] I felt better after I ate some fruit and cookies. I got to play with Lilly's and Emma's big Barbie house. It was good day and I even got a horsie to take home.

Big Balloons

Daddy took me to see a bunch of balloons. I didn't know how big the balloons were. I asked Daddy if they were as big as my stuffed bunny rabbit. He said they were way bigger. Bigger than our house. They were big. Very big!


It was neat to see the balloons get blown up. They looked like a big blanket on the ground before they blew up and starting flying.

It looked cool when I laid on the ground!

Daddy's friends Tim and Sarah hung out and played with me. They helped me touch the bottom of the big pink bunny balloon [Daddy note: Energizer Bunny] before they blew it all the way up. I had pink bunny ears just like the balloon.


When it got dark the balloons would light up. You don't push a button the wall to turn on a balloon. They have a fire at the bottom and the fire goes in the balloon! I was a little scared of the fire at first but then I got used to it.

Easter Pics

We had a fun Easter. Here are some pictures of me and Luci hunting for eggs. Mommy put us in our special Easter dresses. It was a fancy egg hunt.


I'm good at finding eggs. Mommy said Luciana was good at finding eggs for a one year old but I found a lot more than her.

Luci - look behind you! On the window!

The Easter Bunny even hid some eggs in our kitchen set. Silly bunny.

Mommy let us play with the bubbles in the house. Just a little bit though. If it ever stops raining we can do some bubbles outside.

Happy Easter 2011

Hopping Towards Easter

I'm excited because tomorrow is Easter. I cooked some eggs and then put them in colors. We had a lot of colors. Red and purple were my favorite colors. I let Luciana have the boy colors like blue and green. She is a girl but she can't talk yet so I get to say her colors.


I can't wait for the Easter Bunny to come to my house tonight. Daddy took me to see the Easter Bunny movie today. It was called Hop. I was asking if the Easter Bunny was big or little. So I was glad that I got to see him. He is kind of little but not too little.

They showed lots of candy in the movie. That is the best part about Easter. And the Easter Bunny poops jellybeans. I didn't know that. The jellybeans taste good though because the girl on the movie ate them. I think she said watermelon, yeah it tastes like watermelon. So if you have jellybeans in your house it is okay to eat them.
