Yo-yo-yo.

Elle-Hat.

Elle the Tiger, 2007.

Ro-deo.

We made a quick trip to the Austin Rodeo, and the highlight of the trip was finally getting to see Whiplash, the Monkey Cowboy:

Safety First.

H.O.R.S.E.

The Yogurt Queen.

Snacks.

After a half-dozen trips between the living room, the ktichen, and the playroom - we decided to see what Isla was up to...looks like she thought little bear was hungry.

He doesn't know how lucky he is - she even shared her bagel:

SXSW.

Music was all over Austin this weekend, so elle had her first SXSW concert experience. By virtue of accidental timing and opportunity, we found ourselves at the front row of a show that was reported to be "the most buzzworthy act of the weekend". Sounds good, right?

Well...since I don't regularly keep up with the hardcore female rap scene in Baltimore - I had no clue what Rye-Rye sounded like, so we stuck around.

You will never guess who turned out to be the highlight of the show - Rye Rye even stopped one of her songs (Freaker on the Speaker, I believe) and asked if elle would come up onto the stage and join her backup dancers.

Luckily, elle was too busy doing the Snoopy-dance to listen to the lyrics.

After the show, Rye Rye asked us to come inside and she gave elle an autographed poster, and more importantly - a sticker.

She was so excited that we went home and put the poster on the refrigerator. Who wouldn't want to look at Rye Rye every time you need to get some food?

Elle : Three Years Ago.

Breakfast of Champions.

Shaggy.

27 Seconds.

All of these pictures were taken over the course of 27 seconds - wouldn't it be great to be (almost!) two again?

The Little Leprechaun.

Dancing Machine.

All Isla needs is some banjo music, a big dancefloor, and her calculator:

Open Wide.

Two Little Rats - March 2007.

Goin' Topless.

Hop, Hop.

Dipped in Pink.

Isla's first pedicure and paint:

Eggs!

Speedy.

Monday Morning Thoughts.

I think that her school has made things a little confusing for elle this past week - they were wrapping up the dinosaur lesson and starting the Easter talk.

Last night she asked if Jesus was going to tell the Easter Bunny to bring chocolate dinosaur eggs.

Nonetheless, here is some wisdom courtesy of elle:

3 Years Ago.

Isla's Bubble.

Corn Doggie.

Dinosaur Days.

What could be better than one triceratops? Three of them:

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Julie.

After spending some time making Julie - her new rainbow snake - elle had to make her a cage so she wouldn't get out and bite anyone:

Boing. Boing.

Another weekend, another bouncy house:
