day 123

what a day!!!!!!!! today i turned 41 and i can't think of a better way to start off day than to go on our first movie date, we went to see barnyard. it was the first time you had ever gone to the movies, so i was really looking forward to seeing how you would do..............and you loved it!!!!! which is good since i bought the movie pass for all 10 movies that is a part of the summer movie clubhouse. then when aunt nina got home we went to sticky fingers to eat ribs. aunt nina decided to get you your own plate and you loved those ribs, the more you ate them the louder you got "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm love it!!!!"

having you and aunt nina is the best thing i could have asked for!! i love you two more than life itself and i love the 3 of us being a family. so now is time for a funny picture that you will probably hate when you get older, but will i hope make you laugh...along with the movie poster of your first movie.

love you................

day 121

at church today you were in your class during the service, and i'm not if the service went long or if you had just had enough. but you starting crying towards the end of the service, so susie went and got you and brought you in to us. when we asked you what was wrong you said that you missed us....just even at 2 you know how to melt our hearts. later this afternoon we went SWIMMING!!!!!! which i think is becoming one of your favorite things to do.

love you...........

day 120

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!! it's time to go yard saleing to see if we can find you a tricycle, i hope we find one cause i think you will love it.
well baby girl we just got home and guess what............we found you a bicycle!!!!!!!! yaaaaaaay!!!! and i must say you love it. when we got home you played and rode on it for a good 45 minutes, you don't have the pedaling down yet but i'm betting it won't take long. then your grandma maggie came to pick you up and you were gone the rest of the day. aunt nina and i were like two lost little puppies, sitting around the house wondering what you were doing or if you were having fun. we even went to big lots and bought a soccer ball for you so when you got back home you would a surprise waiting on you. you were suppose to spend the night but at around 9pm grandma maggie called and said you wanted to come home and that they were on the way. aunt nina and i were so excited that you were coming home that we went outside to wait on you. we want you to always know that you can come HOME to YOUR HOUSE anytime you want to!!!

love you........

day 117

this morning we went to smart start for a bike rodeo, its where you go and ride your bike through an obstacle course and learn about bike safety. you loved riding on the tricycle they had there, you didn't want anyone to help you. i think aunt nina and i are going to have to look for a tricycle for you. i think we will go to some yard sales this weekend and see what we can find. they also had games inside where you won a book, a lollipop and a toothbrush, you really seemed to have a great time. candacs went with us and sissy amber and kevin came after his field day at school. then we all when to mcdonald's to eat lunch, then it was home for a well deserved nap.

love you.........

day 115

in most weeks monday is lazy day, the day are we just hang out at the house and take it easy. but today we went to starbucks to meet eddie, no sooner than we had ordered coffee for me and cream for you my phone rang. it was sissy amber calling to see if we could meet her at the goodwill and pick up a dresser she had just bought for candace's room. so after we had our coffee and cream and visited with eddie for a little while, we went to meet sissy and lloyd at goodwill. after we got the dresser to their house you didn't want to leave, so you ended up staying there still aunt nina and i came to get you at 7:00pm. you, candace and kevin were out in the back yard playing up a storm while sissy and lloyd were painting the dresser they had bought today. but when you saw us you came running to give us hugs and kisses. which i hope you never forget how special those hugs and kisses are to us, they are the sweetest kisses ever in the world!!!!!!!!!!!! as i am typing this you are asleep on the couch, you look like you are so peaceful and content.....my beautiful baby girl.

love you......

day 114

after church today sissy amber, kevin, candace, and sissy briana came over and we all went to sloan park. it was certainly a fun filled family afternoon, you and the other kids ran and played for a good 2 hours. then after ya'll were hot and sweaty we left the park we went to sonic's for ice cream. after we got our ice cream you quit eating your's and stole aunt nina's strawberry milkshake, which i thought was kind of funny... aunt nina not so much. so here's a picture that would put a smile on any parent that loves to see their child and laughing and having fun...which aunt nina and i love to see more than anything.

love you.....
