U R 2!!!

Two years has gone by since you came into our world and I cannot believe how much joy you bring into our lives.  We are so blessed to have such a sweet, fun-loving little girl.  You are growing up so fast and (aside from all of the diaper changes) I wish I could just freeze time and keep you little for a while.  You are so smart and such an excellent talker.  I almost always am able to understand what you are telling me which I think eliminates the amount of temper tantrums you are having.  NOW dont get me wrong....you still have your daddy's temper but I think the fact that you can tell me what you want and I can understand you helps a bit.  You are such a funny little girl.  You love to make me laugh!!!  Here are some of the awesome things you are doing right now!!!
1.  You can sing "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" all by yourself.
2.  You can say your ABC's all the way to L
3.  You can count to 10 in English and Spanish (Thanks Dora)
4.  Your fave song is "The Wheels on the Bus"
5.  You LOVE to watch TV....your faves are Dora the Explorer, Ni Hao Kai Lan, & Yo Gabba Gabba
6.  You are a really good eater...your faves; Strawberries, Mac N Cheese, Bananas, Carrots, anything dipped in Ranch, Cheese, Cheetos, Gummy Fruit Snacks, Pizza, Breakfast Burritos, Pimento Cheese, Ice Cream & Pineapples
7.  You are really weird about shoes....you will not wear sandals (of any kind) ESPECIALLY if they go between your toes.  You love tennis shoes and Crocs.....Mommy is gonna have to work on that.
8.  You love to be in the water....swimming is your fave.
9.  You are a lover of books.  Your fave is called "Raindrop Plop" everynight after we dry your hair you always say "Mommy read Raindrops"
10.  You love for Nana to paint your toenails and fingernails.  AND you love to show them off!!!
11.  Atlee is your best buddy!!!!
12.  You have finally figured out how to give closed mouth kisses (THANK GOODNESS) but everytime I ask you for a kiss you do something really funny!!!!  One day I asked you to give me a kiss and you said "No"  so I told you if you didnt kiss me I might cry.  So now everytime I ask you for a kiss you say "I might cry"  and then you plant one on me!!
13.  You are going to school at The Learning Tree and you just moved into the Two Year Old class with Miss Kim and Miss Karmon.  You still cry everytime we drop you off but you always get better and end up having fun. 
14.  We go to church every Sunday and you dont cry when I take you to the nursery anymore.
15.  And last but not least you are now sleeping in a big girl toddler bed!!!!!  No more crib.  I am so proud of you!!!

Happy 30something

Happy Birthday to that tall, dark and handsome man with a great smile.  Happy Birthday to the Daddy who can make his daughter squeal with excitement.  Happy Birthday to the man who works so hard to provide for his family.  Happy Birthday to someone who can make me laugh even when I am in a mad mood!  Happy Birthday Jabin :) We love you!

Happy Memorial Day

This memorial day weekend was spent with lots and lots of friends and family.  The weather was very very warm and what better way to cool off than a dip (or two) in the pool.  Here are a few pics of my two fave girls over the weekend!

Who needs swimsuits?

Splashin on Nana's raft

Smile Daley LOL

See she does grin ever so often!!!  Just put her in the water and she is happy!

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Memorial Day!

BUSTED!!!

The other day I was sitting on the couch watching Daley and how focused she was on her meal!!!  I just had to snap a few pics while she wasnt looking...cuz in case you didnt know she isnt too fond of the camera.  Well lets just say mommy got caught!~

Round Here

I have been told by a few of my followers that my posts need to increase in quantity!!! Now does that mean they will increase in quality???? I doubt it.....but lets be honest people most of you come for the pictures of the cute little girl. Well let me warn you if you wanna see a picture of her....skip this post.

So here goes:

Can I talk about how excited I was for this:
 

Ok now dont get me wrong I loved Crystal.  As a matter of fact I think she had one of the best voices of the season.....but he is so dang loveable (and cute).  My thoughts on the finale:
1.  Alice Cooper is scary.  I thought this was a family show....seriously I was scared of him I cant imagine if there were children watching what they thought of him.
2.  Michael McDonald + Michael Lynche = utitlization of the fast foward button
3.  Carrie Underwood is A-mazing
4.  Alanis Morissette is really pretty
5.  Janet Miss Jackson looks awesome without a weave and I love to see a curvy girl owning her figure!
6.  Poor Casey James.....he truly looked like he was in pain performing the group numbers
7.  BUT....he totally rocked out with Bret Michaels.  My fave moment of the night!!!!  I mean really....that dude can play guitar and not to restate the obvious but he is soooooo pretty!
 
I did think it was a total bummer when I found out yesterday that Crystal and her weird, american flag pant wearin boyfriend Tony broke up.  She claims that he is a small town guy and he totally cant get into the whole musical spotlight, live in L.A. gig so he decided to go home.  I mean come on Tony....couldnt you have waited two more days to break up with her????  I mean dont get me wrong the girl is gonna be fine BUT I did feel for her a little bit. 
 
The new season of The Bachelorette started this week:
 

 I got together with some great girls to kickoff the season.....I do have to say that the casting department of this show must have taken a vacation when it came to this season.  Seriously this show is usually crawling with HAWTTIES.....not this season.  I mean dont get me wrong they dont make you want to turn your head BUT they arent drop dead gorgeous like in seasons past.  I think this season is gonna be chock full of drama and you know I love the drama (as long as it isnt happening to me)!
 
I am planning my little girls 2nd birthday.  I really cant believe that she is about to be two.  I mean REALLY cant believe it.  She is growing up so fast!!!  Kinda makes me sad....Not sad enough to want another one yet but sad just the same.  Her birthday party is planned for next Sunday so I am sure we will have lots of pictures up for that. 
 
I am excited for a three day weekend.  Who doesnt love those right???  No big plans but I am hoping to get some sun!!! 
 
I really need to see this movie:

I am really excited that summer is here and I cant wait to take Daley to the pool....not to mention I really need a tan.  I also need some new summer clothes....I am hoping to find some cute sundresses!!!!  I totally love this one:

 

Old Navy

Thats about all I have!!!!  See I told ya nothing interesting :)

Oh yeah one more thing:  You can be jealous if you want.  Yesterday afternoon my mom, sister and I got our tickets to see these guys August 9th at American Airline Center in Dallas.

Soooooo excited. I dont remember the last time we had a girls night just the three of us but we have never had one like this. Cant wait :)

This one is for you Crystal

OK so you said I was slackin on my posts...so here ya go. Whaddya think??? Would Jabin go for a swagger wagon??? Nah....I doubt it. Totally cracked me up though!!

Workin at the Carwash....Woa Woa Woa Woa.....Workin at the Carwash Yeah!!

Yesterday after Daley and I got home from church Daddy was washing his car and Daley wanted to help.  So we went inside and changed into some play clothes.....here are a few pics I snapped of Daddys wet & soapy little helper!!!!

I dont even think this pic needs a caption!!!

Bungee Jumping Toddler

On Saturday afternoon after a yummy lunch in Denton we decided to go to the mall to do a little spring shopping.  After stopping to buy the girls a cookie something caught my little girls attention.  In the middle of the mall was a bungee jumping activity.  We sat down and watched some big kids get strapped into a harness and jump up and down on a trampoline and do flips in the air!!!  Daley was intrigued from the very beginning.  After watching for about 5-10mins she loudly proclaimed!!!  "Nana, I wanna jump!!!!"  and of course Nana said "Ok"  I told my mom that I was not ok with her doing it and I thought she was too little.  We read over the instructions and found out that the minimum weight requirement was 20lbs and that they had a small harness for "little dare devils"  Against my better judgement I spoke with the owner of this death trap and she informed me that it was totally safe and that if we strapped her in the harness and she got scared we could take her out and we wouldnt have to pay.  Of course I knew once she was strapped in it would freak her out and then we would be done.  I have a feeling this is the first on many things in which my daughter will prove me wrong.  She loved it!!!  She kept yelling "Nana...Look at me",  "Kelli, Look I jumpin"  It was so cute....not to mention the longest 5 mins of my life!!!!

She didnt weigh enough to launch herself into the air so mommy had to pull on the straps to make her bounce

Where should I put my hands mommy?

Seriously....look how high she is!

Is it over already?!?!?
