Diadeloso

Diadeloso is a tradition at Baylor...it's held every spring and a great time to relax and have some fun. Class is canceled for one day every spring and students get to hang out and play games, listen to music, eat food, and just have a great time. Eric and I have a lot of great memories of our time at Baylor, definitely including Diadeloso.

The alumni association carries this tradition on throughout the world. We participated in Diadeloso with the Dallas and Ft. Worth alumni groups on Saturday at the Ft. Worth zoo. Ashley loved it! Her favorite animals (ranked in order) are:
1. Giraffe (or giant ostrich) not sure which one she got so excited about
2. Elephant
3. Kangaroo
4. Shark
5. Monkey

We had a great time!

Rotavirus....AHHHHH!

Ashley was hospitalized for four LONG days with Rotavirus. No fun for mommy, daddy, gigi, or anyone at the hospital...including poor little Ashley! She was so sick...she wound up losing a little over 2 lbs. Here are a couple of pictures of her in her 'jail'.

Easter Lunch

We decided it would be fun (and a break for our parents) to have Easter lunch at our house this year. Everything turned out really well and I think everyone had a great time. Unfortunately a few family members weren't able to make it this year due to a nasty stomach bug, we plan on hosting again next year and can't wait for them to be able to come!

A visit to see the Easter bunny

Today, we took Ashley to see the Easter bunny. She kept trying to grab his whiskers, but she stopped long enough to get this picture.

Happy Easter!

Daddy got a new grill...and Ashley got a huge box. The picture looks scarier than it really was...she was fine...I promise. That girl LOVES to climb!!!

My little trapeze artist

So Ashley took a 15 minute afternoon nap today and I couldn't get her to go back to sleep in her pack-n-play...so I thought I'd try the swing. I heard her playing with something so I peered over the couch to see what she had since I only gave her a pacifier and her 'baby' (doll she sleeps with) when I buckled her into the swing. There she was leaning over the edge of the swing - her head was completely hanging off the end...the only thing keeping her from falling out completely and hitting her head was the straps on the swing. She was upside down and playing with a toy that was on the floor. Needless to say my heart sank as I ran over to rescue my little trapeze artist. I think it's time to retire the good old baby papasan swing. It has been a great investment and Ashley has loved it, but obviously since she has now figured out how to hang upside down from it....she will never be placed in it again! No picture with this post...obviously :)
