Playdough!


My mom gave Kayleigh this playdough for Christmas. She loves playing with it.... well, really just putting it in and out of the container. She knows that it must stay at the table and does pretty well with it.

Are you serious?

First off, I LOVE my husband. I really do, but I just had to tell y'all this story.

So last Saturday (yes, I am THAT far behind in blogging) Sean got Kayleigh up and let me sleep in (see why I love him?). I was happily slumbering when he woke me up and told me to get the video camera. Did I mention that this was at 7:45 AM? Well, I jumped up and asked him what was wrong. He informed me that there was a possum in the trash can and he was going to tump it over and let the possum go. "Are you seroious?" Imagine my annoyance when I asked him if the possum could get out on his own and he responded with "no." So really, that possum would have still been there at 9:00 when I got up. So, eventually I got out of bed and got the video camera. Sean was excited to have the video on the blog, but it was extremely anti-climactic. You see, Sean expected the possum to jump out and do something funny. Instead, it did exactly what a possum is supposed to do, it played dead.

So, to appease my husband, here is a picture of the little guy.

Ucky

First off, don't worry, the Bear is not sick. She is obsessed with blowing her nose, runny or not. She politely asks for toilet paper and then she wads it up and blows her nose. Sometimes she will tell us that it is "ucky" and throw it away. Usually, she will carry it around for a while. I guess it is much better than having a kiddo with snot always on their face!

What does a bear say?


Me: "Kayleigh, what does a bear say?"
Kayleigh: "Hey (we are still working on adding Sic'em Bears)."

Bubbles!


Its been a few months since our first bubble fiasco, so I figured maybe we should try again. Well, Kayleigh has decided that she LOVES bubbles now... so much that we already used the entire bottle of Mr. Bubble. She loves to get them on her hand and have me blow them off into the air. She also gets a kick out of trying to scoop them up with her cup and pushing them all to one side of the tub.

Oh, and just look at that picture. Who is that big girl that kinda looks like me in my bathtub? Seriously, where did my baby go???

Adore.

Elmo "Bia-per"

Kayleigh loves Elmo and figured out that he is on her Pampers. Well, to save money I bought Walmart brand last time. Now everytime I change her she grabs the diaper and pathetically says "Elmo Bia-per (diaper)." Talk about making me feel horrible about switching to generic!

Great Weekend!



This weekend was great! We got to spend time with BOTH of our families in one weekend! Going back to work tomorrow will be hard!

Stinky

The Bear imitates EVERYTHING we do lately.

Mmmmmm....

I took the Bear out yesterday to see the daffodils (yes, I am obsessed). I showed her how to smell the flowers and say mmmmm..... She did really good until...

Yeah, that right. She started ripping them apart and telling me that they were trash. I (of course) got upset and just told her to sit in the chair with them and look pretty for a picture. This is the look I got. Eeshhhh...

Yes, I am still alive.

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. I have been sick, along with half of the kiddos I teach. I promise, I have been taking pictures. They will be blogged shortly.

Until then, Kayleigh wants you to take a bite of the green pear.

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!

Share Bear

"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?

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.

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.

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!
