BAD NEWS / GREAT NEWS

It's over for another year and I slept late this morning cause I was one tired puppy. All that confetti my uncle took for us was AWESOME!

BAD NEWS
I did take my sign with me and I did talk to the reporter. BUT although he thought it was very funny..he didn't offer to put it on TV. He wanted to know "if I was getting extra credit out of this". You gotta admit I tried!

Then I went one step further and invited my teacher to the parade with us...and she came!!!! We had a great time. She's a great confetti thrower. She hit me LOTS of times and she really socked it to Dad...he had more confetti on him than all of us put together! GREAT FUN!
GREAT NEWS
My cousin and I got our picture in the Sunday paper....it was nearly a half page in size. That photographer lady did a good job considering all the stuff flying around. Thanks, Ms. Whitney you took a great picture. (You know, if you click on these pictures on my page...they will get bigger for a better look.)

It's not the first time we make the paper...I guess you could say we've had our share of fiesta pictures in print.

Enough for today....until next time and another fiesta....VIVA FIESTA

Preview

I have my sign ready for the big night. My secretary made it and daddy took it to be printed. We didn't make letters or use those smelly markers...we're really hi-tech around here. BUT, we had to make it black and white cause having it printed in color would be wayyyyyyyy too expensive. My parents don't like me that much...(smile)

Thought I would post it so you would know exactly what to look for.....be on the lookout for it during the parade...hopefully I can convince those lady reporters to show it on TV. All I will have to do is give them a big smile and maybe a wink....that should do it.

Till next time when I'll have an update on my project...Viva Fiesta!

It's EARTH DAY

Hi All.....today is Earth Day... but of course everyday should be Earth Day. We all need to work really hard to make our planet a clearer place. We've been studying all about this stuff in my class. We all need to do our part.

There are celebrations all over the place. I took some pretty recycling bags to my teacher and others at my school today. My Mom fixed them all up really cute for me to deliver. Then she went to the store by her house and took this picture of a giant shopping cart. She wanted me to put it on my blog so....here it is. It is the biggest one I've ever seen.

After all I've learned this week I will pay closer attention to what I drop on the ground....and try to clean up after myself at all times. I've been working on Mommy too....she needs put her trash in the can and not drop empty cups on the ground. I tell her I'm going to call the Recycling Cops on her...lol

STAY GREEN - SAVE THE PLANET - RECYCLE

IT'S THAT TIME!

My picture should give you a big hint!

It's Fiesta ..... I can hardly wait! Did you know they close down the city and I get a school holiday just to celebrate. This only happens in TEXAS!

There are several parades planned this week. I love to watch all the floats pass and dance to the beat of the drumlines. You may have seen me and my extended family every year on TV....we cover the street with confetti... and make one big mess. I like to yell "Show me your shoes" as the floats go by...you never know what those ladies will be wearing under those big dresses. Sometimes they wear bunny slippers, or flip flops, or maybe even boots... you name it... they wear it. This is Fiesta SA you know!

This year I have a special task to accomplish..... I've been commissioned to create a poster telling EVERYONE at the parade and hopefully on TV that my favorite teacher (Mrs. Ortiz) is the best at my school and that (Coach Ortiz) "ROCKS!" So be sure you watch the parade on Saturday night. It's on Channel 35... just to see if I make the big time. Do you think I can do it?????

Guess What!

My teacher chose ME to be the STAR STUDENT for the week. I've been in charge for 2 days now AND I've stayed on GREEN. All this is so exciting....I'll keep you posted as the rest of the week progresses...2 days to go. Remember it's a short week.

Do We Look Like Tourists?

I guess you could say we had a great day at the Zoo. Here are the pictures I promised. Lots of people but it wasn't crowded like
other times.

Ileana and I were playing like ambassadors @ large...we know our way around the place. We've visited so many times we could be tour guides.

Do you like our group shots? We were just having some fun!


How ya like my smile? Can you see all that chocolate on my teeth...my dentist would chringe.

We were having a treat....can you believe I was eating ice cream...I never eat that stuff. Even Nana was surprised. She told me she would buy but I BETTER eat it and I did...lol Taste pretty good...I may want more later on.

All for today just keep checking back...you never know what you'll find here!

Coloring and Hunting Easter Eggs

Hi all!
Just checking in to show you my egg coloring techniques. Ileana and I had a great time sharing the eggs and the dye colors. We each had 5 eggs to color...there were 3 cups on one side of the table and 2 on the other...we played well together last night. My Nana kept telling us to be careful because the water was hot and the vinegar smelled terrible...we were careful and had a great time.


This is me hunting eggs over at my Nana's house. You know, I'm a lucky kid cause I get to go egg hunting twice on the same day. I started here with my cousin Ileana then went to Grandma's for a hunt with some other cousins. I love to party. There was plenty of food at both places. I'm not much of an eater...you know. It's only nuggets and pizza for me. I just ran around all afternoon having fun while the big people eat.


Here's a final picture for today. Checkout all the confetti in our hair...it looks hilarious. You know those cascarons are fun but they also hurt if you get hit too hard.

Well, enough of this Easter stuff...have to get ready for bed...cause boy am I tired. Good thing we still have a day off tomorrow so we can rest. Ileana and I are going to the zoo with Uncle Mario, Aunt Margo and Nana. I'll post some pics after we return.

I hope you had as much fun today as I did.
Happy Easter!

Any Bluebonnets Out There?

We were wishing for bluebonnets out here this year...but no luck! So my secretary and I decided to go one better . We went into our picture archive (do you like that big word I used), picked a picture that showed how they usually look and here it is. Hope you like it. Man, I was really young in this picture.

Maybe next year it will rain early so we can have our pretty wildflowers.

Hippity, Hoppity...Easter's On It's Way

Here comes Peter Cottontail....oh you know how the rest goes. Just putting some Easter cheer on my page. Hope you like my dancing chicks over on the right.

Had another great day ....I took my teacher treats to school this morning and will take my classmates theirs tomorrow. It's just too much to carry in one morning. The teacher treats were a really cute bunny box with an egg filled with candy. But, four of them were extra special. These had BIG faux diamond rings in them. Had to choose these.....my allowance couldn't cover the real thing. Here's a pic of my Mommy modeling one..do ya like it?

Let me tell ya...the teachers who received them were really excited when they saw the jewels...but they got unexcited when each learned they were not the only one who received one from me. Boy did I have some explaining to do...I had to tell them I liked each of them equally and that the rings "didn't really mean anything". Man, do I have a lot to learn. When I give Mommy stuff she just loves it without questions. I guess I better get my Dad to explain how all this works.

Time for bed now. We're having an egg hunt tomorrow afternoon at my school. I'll let you know how that goes. Should be fun!

I'm Back

I know what you've been thinking.....where in the world has Dylan gone again? Well, I'm BACK! Did you miss me? Just kidding!

School (my job) has been keeping me really busy again. Like my Mommy says..."there just aren't enough hours in the day". We've been learning so many new things...I guess they really are getting us ready for 2nd grade. My teacher says everyone has to be ready for that BIG move.

Let me tell you, we have this page of math problems (80 to be exact) that you have to add and subtract in 5 minutes or less....you heard right....5 minutes. I barely had 20 right the first time. But, practice makes perfect...thanks Mommy. You'll be happy to know I got all of them correct and finished under 3 minutes. I was a happy camper. You should try it sometime...I can ask my teacher to email you a page if you like. She knows how to do all that stuff like texting and email.
Just ask Mommy...she sends her notes all the time. Some are good and some not so good if you get my message.


This was a short week...remember I told you we would have lots of them this month. We worked hard and then our treat was a field trip to the museum. The Witte was really a cool place to visit. I had never been there...but I do want to go back soon. Hint, hint!

Lots to see and do in there. There were all kinds of animals... really old ones of course....and many interesting things to play with. The part I liked most was the science treehouse. That was the coolest. I had a great time with my classmates.

Just a few pictures...hope you like them. Till later!
