Pretty in Pink

I'm not a big sneaker kind of girl but these were too irresistible to pass up, and besides she needed some new shoes since her fat toe was coming very close to scraping the floor in her sandals. And I'm guessing that she loves them as much as I do because she said "wheeeeeee" when I slipped them on. Or maybe that's really her way of telling me she wants to go to the park.


And as soon as I shot this photo of her, I could not help but crack up. Where did that pose come from??

She also got this cute pink backpack over the weekend and she loves it. She looks like such a big girl when she wears it. And as a bonus, it even matches her stroller....and if you happened to catch my facebook status, yes, the same stroller with the flat tire....courtesy of Papa :-|

And on a side note: Dinner with the Crelia's yesterday consisted of shrimp cocktail, grilled salmon, steamed veggies, and roasted potatoes. How on Earth are we supposed to top this on Sunday?!

Dinner with The Crelia's

I'm not sure how this all started, but somehow we have begun meeting Aunt Yaya and her gang for dinner twice a week. We meet at their place on either Tuesday or Wednesday and they come over to our place for dinner and swimming on Sundays. And the gang that isn't doing the cooking is responsible for bringing dessert. Well somehow Aunt Yaya forgot about our date tonight. I called her on my way home from work like I usually do and she mentioned that she had sort of forgotten about dinner tonight. Um, hello? What? How? Why? Disappointed, I offered to reschedule but she insisted that we go over anyway and that she would have a surprise for us. Mmmm....who could resist an offer like that? Everyone loves surprises! We were expecting pizza or something of that sort but when we got there they had warm Mexican food from Pappasitos waiting for us. Yuuuuum, it was oh so tasty!

And since it was our turn for dessert, we decided to stop by here for some sweets:

Cassie totally made us giggle because even though we had only been there once, she was already saying "mmmmm" as we were pulling into the driveway.

I snapped this one as we were driving over the bridge that gets us to Aunt Yaya's. See the tiny cluster of buildings to the far right? That's downtown Houston! It looks so tiny from way up there on the bridge.

Cassie making herself right at home at Aunt Yaya's.

Having fun with some fake food! Her imagination never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for having us over guys! As usual, we had a great time. See you on Sunday ;-)

Lazy Sunday

It's been so hot around here lately that the urge to want to get out of the house is a very teeny, tiny, small one, well unless it's for a trip to Marble Slab of course. Cassie and I spent Saturday hanging out with my Mom & sister Yaya and it was so hoooot out there. It had been a while since we tagged along on one of their Saturday shopping adventures so we were excited to have been invited. And even better, we got treated to a free lunch. Hmmm....maybe we should tag along more often!


Still recovering from a long day of shopping, we lounged around most of the day on Sunday. Cassie took a nap on Papa's chest right before we were about to go swimming but we decided to wake her anyway because we just knew how much fun she would have, especially since her cousin Mikey was coming over too. I can't tell you how much Cassie loves the water so how about I just show off a few pics instead?
