I wanna be a Cowgirl....

Wed. 4/29

L-"Mommy...I need some jeans to wear!"

K-"Why do you need to wear jeans, it's hot outside?"

L-" So I can wear my belt...like Daddy..I know how to loop it!"

K-"Here you go!"

(the first pair I gave her wasn't right...tossed to the side....after the right jeans and a few minutes of frustration trying to "loop-it" like Daddy does...she gave in, even though she's "big"..and let me help!")

L- "Mommy, now we need to find Daddy's cowboy hat so I can be a real cowgirl!"

(Daddy's "cowboy hat" being a Panama Jack-ish hat he got when we went to Hawaii)

K-"Okay, let's go find it!"

L-" What do you think Mommy, do I look like a cowgirl?"

K-"The cutest cowgirl I"ve ever seen!"

And that my friends is how you make a cowgirl....complete with a Dora necklace..and perfect "ending pose"

National Infertility Awareness Week 2009!

I miss that little diaper butt....

not changing the diapers...

just the sound and sight of L running around in a diaper.......

she LOVED getting in the window.....

her hair was starting to grow..finally!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY A.J.M.

hard to believe that a year ago today...she arrived.:)

Little Fashionista!!

Those of you who know me, know that this is vvveeerrryyy out of the ordinary....L usually matches from bow to toe...and her outfit is neatly ironed.BUT, this was one of those days...that I didn't fight it.....I had a migraine...took medicine, napped...felt a bit better...about 70%., but we HAD to run a few quick errands....so, I told her to get ready so we could go to a few stores...

Her ensemble consisted of :

1. Tight spiderman pajama top..(that she slept in the night before)

2. Size 24 mths. skirt (too small..and wrinkled)

3. Turquoise headband ( which made me want to sing "Let's get physical"..and run in place...Olivia Newton-John flashback)

4. "High-Heels"-her brown sandals that were bought to go with her fiesta dress(don't mind the fact that they are too small...and her toes were dragging over the ends)

5. AND...unbrushed hair, unbrushed teeth..and, no bow!

YES, we got a few looks...mostly grins....she ditched the headband after awhile....said it "made her hot and sweaty"......BUT, errands were complete....it was nice to get out of the house...and I wouldn't trade my little pajama top wearing, toes dragging ground, headband wearing girl for the world.:)

Dumpkin-Huns!!!!

L was so excited today when a commercial came on today.....
L-"See Mommy, that's what snack I want at my house...that's what I've been talking about....look...Dumpkin-Huns!!!"""
(and licking her lips after she says it)
She has asked for Dumpkin-Huns before....but I told her I wasn't sure what she was talking about...she told me it was on tv...I told her to point it out to me next time she saw the commercial....so,today was our lucky day!!!

Here you have it

DUMPKIN-HUNS Brownies....Yummy!!

So, tomorrow while she is at MDO...I will be stopping by Target..and picking up some brownies for us to make when she gets home!

My girl is a chocolate lover!!

Splashing around at the Houston Zoo

Where did this 2 year old go?

I love doing Way Back Wednesday posts....but I also hate doing them..

The reality of L growing up always hits me....it seems like we were just at the zoo...I can remember her giggling, and splashing around in the water...I love that I have been able to stay home with her...and make so many good memories for us....but, can't someone invent a pill....or a shot...that I could give her...I want her to stay little forever!!! Before I know it, she will be in Kindergarten..and the thought of that...well, we won't even go there!! Gotta go kiss my sweet girl while she is asleep...she'll be grown and in college before I know it!

It's not easy being this cute...

..and it's not easy getting a picture of this child...without some sort of pose involved....L wanted to wear pigtails to school today....these pictures were taken this afternoon....they were so cute and curly this morning...
