What is Ana climbing now?

I REALLY think Ana is part monkey. She climbes EVERYTHING! I will go to check on her and she is up on SOMETHING everytime. If I had a penny for everytime I said, "Ana get down"... She Ain't Misbehavin! She's just playing!

"Ana get down!"

I promise she is allowed to use a door if she wants to leave the backyard! This is just more of a challenge for her! :) Also, if you look closely, she NEVER wears her shoes. If we can't find her shoes, they are 9 out of 10 times in the backyard somewhere.

Look how she moves the car so that she can get higher to get up into the tree! Smart little thing!

"Ana get down!"

YES, we do have a jungle gym for her!

I'm just so grateful she never falls! (Knock on wood!) NEVER a dull moment! :)

You Know You Live in Texas When...

For those of you who followed my Korea blog, you know about my "Not Quite Right" postings of funny captions or things I'd see in Korea. WELL, I've discovered that Texas has some fun things to share as well! Only in Texas would you find this bathroom sign...the hats and spurs are TOO funny!
This tree has an awesome cactus growing in it/from it...very cool!!

There are churches for Cowboys! And is the arena where you tie up the horses?

Pick a longhorn skull ....any skull ya want!

OR just put the horns on your car! Maybe paint the flag of Texas on the hood JUST to make sure everyone knows that you are a true die hard Texas weirdo! YeeeeHAAWWWW!

Russian New Year

Jan. 14th is one of the Russian New Year's Days. New Year's Day is when the Russian's give presents vs Christmas and I thought this would be a fun day to share with Ana's class. I brought in two of our favorite Russian kids books. One is a general over view of Russia (explained in kid lingo) and the other one is about Father Frost (Russian Santa Clause). We also brought in some of our favorite Russian toys and items for them to play with. The kids loved it! Ana loved it! She was so proud and excited the entire time. I ended our talk with Ana passing out Russian candy. It was a great experience for all of us and I look forward to doing it again next year!

Happy New Year!

Christmas Kitty

Pooks was so excited about Christmas this year! She had gotten into her stocking and was playing with her toy before Ana was even awake. I took her toy away and put it back into her stocking and told her she had to wait for Ana. She went and found Ana, jumped up on her and purred and kneeded into her chest as if she was saying "Wake Up Wake Up Santa Came!" Ana woke up and we all went downstairs...Pooks followed us. Then she walked right back over to her stocking and took her toy out again and played ALL morning long! Funny Kitty!
