Black Thumb

I found this sprouting up in the back yard. Does any one know what type of flower it is? Is it a tulip? Do you think there is anything I need to do to "take care" of it?

I am really good at killing plants.

Little Sniffles

The Bear has a little runny nose. Good thing she can take care of it herself now!

Thank you!

Glen and Jen-
Thanks for watching the Bear for us the other night.... Y'all ROCK!

"I love you Cosmo!"

"Want some Wa- Wa?"

"Want a bite?"

The Pricer

Here are a few pictures of the little dude that I caught this weekend. I love this kid like he was my own, that's probably why you see him so much on this blog. Isn't he SUCH a cutie?

Playground pictures

The BIG 2-6

I had a birthday this weekend. It was the best one that I have had in years! Usually, I have to spend it at work.... but this year I spent it at the happiest place on Earth (no, not Disney) ... WACO! My mom, Kayleigh and I met Jen and Glenn, Lee, Kristy and Price, and Molly at Bush's for a birthday lunch. Afterwards, we went to the playground to let the kiddos run themselves crazy (pictures tomorrow). The night of we went to La Fiesta and had a girl's only slumber party at the Boyd's house. I loved getting to see my family and friends on my actual birthday!

And are you wondering what Sean gave me? Exactly what I asked for.... and let me tell you this is the BEST toothbrush EVER!

Oh, and instead of a cake I got a 9 x 13 pan of my mom's cinnamon rolls with EXTRA icing. I am sad to say that I have already eaten half of them. Good thing I have been running.

First Braid!

When I picked the Bear up today, the lady that keeps her had braided her hair. I am soo impressed that she sat still long enough to let her do it! Sooo cute!

I feel like I am the type of person that can make just about anything.... but I have NEVER been able to french braid. I have tried and tried and just can't make it happen. So I guess you won't see many pictures of braids unless someone else does it!

What a Day!

Well, we had a long day. Sean was at church all day (with his phone off), so I had the Bear alone. We ran a few errands and came home. When we got home, I ran the dogs outback to go potty. I usually take the Bear, but this time I left her inside (yeah, you can see where this is going.) Don't call CPS, I could see her up against the sliding glass door the whole time. Well, she picked up the stick that we keep in the track so no one can break in and she put it back in the track..... locking herself in the house. My heart dropped. I jumped over the fence (haven't done that in 15 years) and ran next door. After the neighbors and I tried to get her to pick it up, we had to resort to calling the fire department. An hour and a half after she put the stick in, I had the Bear in my arms. Don't worry, she wasn't too upset. She found her bowl of Goldfish and ate them while she watched the firefighters. I feel like a horrible, awful, no good, very bad mom. I cried, hugged her, and then made sure I got a quick picture for the blog.

Vrooom, Vroom!

PICTURE FROM MY CAMERA PHONE

I usually grocery shop at Walmart, because well... I love Walmart. On Friday we ran into Tom Thumb really quick to grab a coulple of things. I let the Bear take a ride in one of those germ infested cars stuck on the carts. Of course she LOVED it. She "drove" the whole time saying "ZROOM, ZROOM." When I parked it, I got her out and she ran to another one. I had to drag her out kicking and screaming from the store.

Daddy Dressed Her.....

nice, huh?

Already?

I guess it is about time for us to invest in some of those annoying door handle thingies. I trully thought we had AT LEAST 6 more months before this would happen. Little stinker.

Tiny Dancer

I have seen ALOT of this little dance lately. It amazes me how smart she has gotten, she knows that she has to push the toaster 3 times to get to the song that she likes!

Oh, and at the end she sees Cosmo outside and gives him a kiss through the glass.

New Kayleigh Words

Here are the words that the Bear has been using in the correct context lately:
Cosmo
Mommy
Da-Da
baby
puppy
bath
please
thank you
hi
bye bye
love you
night night
diaper
stinky
ball
kitty
cracker

I Ate the Middle

My mom seriously makes the best cinnamon rolls ever. I only get them once a year at Christmas. Long story short, I had my wisdom teeth out 2 days before Christmas and so I couldn't eat my share, so I hid a pan of them. Sounds like I have been around this guy too long!

I decided to eat the middle tonight, because everyone know that is the best part! Sadly, after saving it I over-nuked it in the microwave and it was hard as a rock. I almost cried, and then I ate it anyway.

Instead of a birthday cake this year, can we have cinnamon rolls with double the icing? I am serious. If you have time? Please?

33 Bags!

Sean and I literally spent an entire day raking the leaves in our backyard. 33 bags later, I am laying in bed aching from all of the work! Oh, and the picture was Sean's idea, I am training him well. Everything thing we do now he asks if we should get a picture for the blog.

This was the extent of the Bear's help.

Shooo!

I don't know why we continue to buy this child toys, all she plays with are shoes. I thought these looked funny! She is very talented, she can put them right side up and step into them. She does not need any help! Then she walks around the house. I will have to get a picture of her wearing Sean's boots, they make me giggle everytime.

Big Girl!

The Bear ate her entire breakfast this morning sitting at her little table. I just can't believe how my baby is growing up.

And yes, she is eating Captain Crunch.... Old Mother Hubbard has not yet made it to the grocery store since getting back in town!

A Smile!

Kayleigh Bear is so serious all the time. I finally got a cute little grin out of her after nap time today!

Christmas!

I would love to post pictures of the fabulous Christmas that we had, but I have lost the card with them on it. I have searched high and low and it is NO WHERE! I will post them when (or if) it turns up!

PS: This is my 365th blog post on this blog. There were 110 on Kayleigh's blog, so that makes 475 posts!

PPS: You should go check out the present that I made the Pricer for Christmas. I went a little overboard, but I had so much fun making it! Click here.
