Our Bunny Round-Up

It's Friday! Woo-hoo! I have some fun girly things planned on Saturday. I'm having a breakfast at church for the women's club. They are having a inspirational speaker that is hopefully good. Then, Saturday night I'm going to a girly party at my friend Lori's house. They are going to drink and sing Karaoke. I'm going to eat, drink water and watch! Ha! Here's a cute pic of C yesterday before I took her to daycare.

Last night, we decided to let the bunnies out for some excersise. C chased them all over the yard! She kept telling them to, "GO". I'm sure their bunny hearts were going 90 mph!

Holding Emma! She loves to be held like a baby.
Poor Eddy was exhausted after all of his hopping! I love when he lays like this with his back legs all sprawled out. Look at his little bunny butt! That always cracks me up! Miss Ally found this big guy on our sidewalk. Eeek! It was HUGE!
That's all I've got for now. We are going to meet the girls and their kids at BK, so I might have more later. Bye!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Today looks like it's going to be a hot one! I just wanted to share a few new pics. I'm loving my new camera that my husband got me for my birthday! I'm always snapping pictures now.

Here's a close up of C. She's always saying, "Cheese" for me now and smiling this little grin. Yesterday, she was trying to get me up to get her something. So she said, "Let me help me." She meant, "Let me help YOU". It was so cute! Sometimes I can't believe she puts together such good sentences. It looks like she has a mole on her right chin in this picture, but she must have had something on her face.

We went to play at the little park behind our house Sunday. She ran all over and she loves the little slides there. They are all her size, small!

I'll leave you with a few pretties from around my house! My HUGE sunflowers (they are the size of dinner plates!), a four-0-clock that somehow came out this wonderful combination of yellow and pink, all the other ones are white, and a canna.

Happy Wednesday! Bye!

Recent Happenings

I have so many things that C is starting to say that I need to write down in her journal before I forget them! Everyday it seems like she says something new. Yesterday morning I was trying to get her hair put in these piggy tails and she was fussing. So I said, "Let's make your hair pretty." So she said, "Cayee's pretty, Mommy's utiful!" I have been trying to get her to say "I'm beautiful" meaning her (not me~ha, ha). So, sweet and cute! When I was changing her diaper last night she started sing the alphabet, it was really jumbled, but I started singing it to her. She chimed in on the LMNOP and WXYand Z parts! Warren says we need to stop teaching her stuff, yeah, that's possible! Geez!

Here's a pic of the cute kittens my hubby found. I hope we have a home lined up for both of them! C has to say "bye" to them before we leave anywhere!

We went to the "pretty" park on Sunday. She had so much fun running and playing. She always says, "Mommy...Run!"

Here's a few recent scrapbook pages that I have done for her book. These really arent that great of pics, but you get the idea anyway. I just realized the other day that I'd have to start a new book soon. I have one for every year, 0-12mo. and 1 year right now, I'll need a 2 year before I know it...wiping tears :' )

And last, but not least.....I went into the local Goodwill store yest. at lunch just to see what was in there. They had some really cute, OLD, stuff! I found this adorable little dolly that I just couldn't leave there on their shelf. So, I paid a whopping 0.14 cents for her and took her home to her new mommy, Cayee. Who proclaimed that she was "cute". Then she wanted me to take her dress off of her, she's been wanting all her babies naked lately. So we have doll clothes thrown everywhere these days! I said to her, "Aren't you glad she came to live with you?" and she said, "Yes". Aww, she's really into playing with her babies. It's so cute. She picked one up last night and grabbed my purse, went to the back door and said, "Bye (waving to us) Lub You" Warren said, "I guess you'll come back when you get hungry." She's so funny!

Better go for now, once again I've got a loooooong post. Bye!

Pics From This Weekend

She really liked this turtle shell that the Albq. Zoo brought to our library on base. She kept knocking on it saying, "Turtle". This is what we did on Thursday afternoon.

On Friday we went to the zoo with some friends. C loves the zoo! She just runs around looking at all the animals and saying "Hi" to them.

Then, she found the geese! She has no fear, I swear! She was going right up to them and talking to them. She thought it was so funny that they were walking around with us. She ran around with them and I really thought she was going to get bit by a few that were hissing at her.

After the zoo we were pretty hot, so we decided to go to the pool with our friends Eve and her girls. The girls had so much fun swimming (well mostly walking around in the water and making their mommy's nervous by going up and down the stairs!).

Here she is pretending to be asleep! She's a nut! I've got more pics, but this blog is so long already! I think I'll have to show them another day! Bye!

Misc. Ramblings

I have some new pics and scrapbook pages that I'll try to post later today. We had a good weekend. We got to see and visit with our good friends "The Flips" on Fri and Sat. They recently moved back home to PA. We sure do miss them, but are glad they are doing so well. We also got to go to a friend's daughter's christening. This friend is works in the same dept. as Warren. His wife was pregnant (and almost due) when he was about to deploy. His little girl was born the day before he deployed. They brought her home just hours before he left! Praise God he got to see her born before he left! Then, her christening was planned for this weekend, well he was just running and his Achilies Tendon (I probably didn't spell that right) snapped. So they careflighted him to Germany and then to the US, just a week before her christening. He had surgery to repair it the two days before her christening and he was at the church on crutches to see it! Praise God! He works in little ways that we are sometimes blind to, but sometimes like that it's so easy to see these little miracles.

We went to church yesterday and it was so great to be around all of the people that know and love us! We felt loved in so many ways! First, they knew we were gone and told us they missed us, but they hope we had a good time traveling as soon as we got there. Then, this lady gave me a couple of pictures that she had developed of Warren teaching the children's moments. At the end of service this little handicapped lady came up to us. I'm not sure what is wrong with her, she's very short, her face is a little disfigured, but she is smart. She adores C. She always has since she was a little baby and I always kind of dreaded this lady coming up to her in her stroller. Why you ask? Well, being a first time mom, you are so scared that your precious little baby is going to get sick from germs, right? Well, this lady always stands SO CLOSE to you, which usually caused C to wake up if she was napping. Then, she almost always touches C's pacifier and tries to put it in her mouth. So that was enough then for me to just dread seeing her every week. Now, I'm of course so much less paranoid about germs. C's bigger and I know her hands are probably almost always germ ridden. So yesterday she came up to us and we said Hi. She talked to us for a while, tried to put C's pacifier in her mouth (of course) then she said, "C, I love you" Oh, it was the sweetest thing! I just realized that these people really love us, well mainly C ;). I mean they've watched her grow up there and I know that so many people really love seeing her every week. It was just so nice!

One more quick thing. We had a lady speak at church yesterday about her missions trips. She's with this mission group called Purpose. They've sent her to China to teach English at a University. She's not like a regular missionary that preaches to people or hands out bibles. Her mission is to just teach her students English and just live so her students will want to ask her why she's so loving and happy. How easy is that? She says she's not allowed to talk about her Christian beliefs openly unless she's asked specifically why. She says she's only been asked several times. It was a little wake up call to me that I need to start acting more like that too! I gossip, cuss, get mad, of course I do, I'm human, but maybe before I start to do these things, I'll think of her and remember to act better! ;o) We'll see if it works! Gotta go for now, I'll try to post pics later! Bye!

Fireworks, Dirty 30 and Mary Poppins????

We had SOOO much fun this weekend at mom's house for the 4th of July and my big 3-0 bday! One reason it was fun because my cousin and her family, my other cousin and her hubby, my mil and my uncle all stayed there with us! We bar-b-que'd of course, ate a ton of good food. Drank ALOT without putting on my ninja outfit or running through the street in what I thought was a bathing suit (but actually just a bra and panties)! Ha-ha! We all know who REALLY did these things.....right Patti! Oops, did I say too much? Hee-hee, I can get away with that because I'm her favorite sister. By the way, she gave me an awesome birthday party! The cake was beautiful, the food was sooooo yummy and she decorated it so pretty. Thank you Patti! I love you. Isn't she beautiful?

I got an awesome new camera for my birthday. Warren kept calling it my Dirty 30, which I didn't like. Here's a few pics from my birthday party we all had a lot of fun!

We went to see the fireworks and I was curious how C would like them. She kept saying "See the stars" She seemed to enjoy them. I love the 2nd pic of L holding her. She loves her "Uncle Gogie"

One more funny thing that C started saying this weekend was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I started having her repeat it to me syllable by syllable about a week ago, mainly to entertain us. I LOVE how she says "Super" Anyway, we were in the pool and I was starting her off by saying Super, well from there she just said the WHOLE thing by herself. It was so funny! Well, this morning I got her on video so everyone could see it and not think I'm making it up! With a drum roll please..........

Cay-ee

1. She says her name like "Cay-ee".

2. Her new favorite saying is "I said NO!" Yes, it's so lovely! Especially because she gets

louder and louder when you try to ignore it.

3. When she counts she misses 3 and 4, but can count to 11. Pretty impressive!

4. Whenever we go to a store she'll say, "Awww, cute" when she sees something she likes, just

like her mommy.

5. Usually after getting in trouble for being ugly (saying "no" or hitting), she'll come up and say

"Mommy, sorry" and give me either a hug or a kiss.

6. Tonight at dinner, her and I were having chocolate pudding and I caught her eating it off of

her spoon just like I was and didn't realize it.

7. When we go out on the front porch she calls out "Froggie, where are you?" She loves to see

a frog hopping around out there. She'll usually scream when she sees one, then say "Where

did it go?"

8. Her favorite meals are still mac & cheese and spaghetti o's. She does love fruit, but I can

never get her to eat veggies, except for tomatoes. I hope she comes around on the veggies as

she gets older.

9. When I fell off of my bike tonight (thanks to our horse-dog Hoss chasing after a bird~yeah,

he really thought if he took off after it right in front of my front tire, he'd catch it) boy the

gravel sure hurts a lot more these days. Anyway, my sweet passenger kept asking me

"Mommy, ok?" I kept telling her "yes, Mommy's alright". Luckily her little trailer doesn't flip

when my bike does.

10. Love, love, love her funky dance moves! Check them out.
