"I'm obstructive because I don't believe it that there aren't any more Princess Vitamins!" Lexi

Lulu-Mommy? Do you like dogs?

Me-No, babygirl, Mommy really isn't much of a dog lover.

Lulu-Do you like ANYTHING?

Me-I like lots of stuff, babe!

Lulu-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's right, you do! You LOVE your pink bike!

We didn't end up having a very productive weekend, but it was fun nonetheless.

My little girl.

2010-04-12T14:21:00.000-07:00

Ten little fingers,
Ten little toes,

Two beautiful eyes,
And one tiny nose.

A beautiful smile
Pretty blonde hair

A perfect angel
Just standing there

A blank slate
For me to mold

A little girl
For me to hold

She watches my every move
Sure not to miss a beat

I can't believe I am a mom
It's different, but neat

My hero, my savior
My own little me

The love of my life
It's hard to believe

An unbreakable bond
Between her and I

No limit to love
When it reaches the sky

Sweet baby words, er...not so much, sometimes!

2010-03-07T10:45:00.000-08:00

I never want to forget. Never want to forget the cute things that my beautiful babe says. Some days I can't even fall asleep because I try and remember all the cute and funny and sweet things that this adorable little 3 years old girl that I know, says!

I try and write them down but I can never find them! So I think I will just keep updating this particular post so that I can come back to it and always remember how precious this baby is!!!!

"Mommy? Sometimes I just always love you!"

"Hey Mom, did you guess what? Did you know that I am a very really pretty Princess?!"

"Could ya hold on a second, Mom. I'm pretty busy right now."

"If you are gonna tell me what to do, then you can't tell me what to do, and I am not going to go to my room!"

"Cake cake ice cream and cake do the ice cream and cake"

"Mom, watch what I am going to say.....Life....LICK IT"

"I don't like to eat this, it's ridiculous!"

That's all for now, but I'll be back with more :)

I've got somethin' to showwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ya!

Title of her book: "Are you kidding me? Boys can be moms too!" OK????????

Dad,I love you six o'clock!

After Adam told Lexi to stop back talking, she stompped up the stairs and yelled down, " Wow DAD! Didja have a long day at work?!!!!!"

Ahh ahh Pinky gooooooooooooooooo? Low ers than the flowwwwwwwwwwww!

Lexi: Mom are you friends? Me: Friends with who, baby? Lexi:Ummmm, with me?

Irish said we are twins! Do you know what I said Mommy? I said no we're Malia (Mall-leah) not twins, you silly girl!

One lucky girl, has one lucky boy!

2010-02-22T14:01:00.000-08:00

I really am blessed to have such a wonderful guy. A guy that supports me no matter what. A guy that makes me feel like everything will be OK. A guy that loves me with his whole heart, and isn't afraid to show it! I love you with all my heart and I thank God that you are mine!

Girls night.

2010-02-05T17:57:00.000-08:00

UPDATE: No money was won, but I had an EVEN better time than I thought. Realizing what a great friend someone really is, is an amazing feeling. I am so glad that I got the chance to reconnect with an awesome women!

Can't wait to have dinner with a great girl! It has been way to long, it will be nice to be able to talk! After dinner we are going to play bingo! Hoping to win some Mulaaaa to make up for some lost wages!

Already.

2010-02-03T13:44:00.000-08:00

Happy he's mine

2010-02-03T13:03:00.000-08:00

Seriously, and completely in love with the love of my life.

This handsome guy came home from work early and brought me flowers, just because I was having a bad day! How much I love him, with all my heart! He really is the best! I could not ask for a better guy! He even let me usually be right!

My mama told me there'll be days like this

2010-02-03T04:48:00.000-08:00

When there is nothing you can do. When you just need to let go, and let God take care of your worries, and know that he will be there for you. That he will help you, and that everything will be ok........even when it seems like it won't be!

Oh my mama told me there'll be days like this!

Love this girl with all my heart

Atechalo

2009-07-27T05:23:00.000-07:00

Atechalo(Ate-cha-low)is the newest member to our family. He is an itty bitty imaginary bird, who is hurt very easily and has very sensitive feelings. His mother's name is Ling. His favorite thing to do is sit on MY finger. He needs a pink blanket and a bippy (nuk) to sleep with at night. AND I almost forgot to mention that...Atechalo loves to give his candy to my child. Here is Lexi with her beloved Atechalo on her finger...do you see him? Isn't he a doll?!

One dehydrated babe.

2009-06-19T22:32:00.001-07:00

Lexi got sick on Sunday morning but seemed to be in perfect condition until about 1pm. She started throwing a fit on the floor screaming that her tummy hurt. That lasted for about 10 minutes and then she fell asleep. When she woke up a few hours later she seemed to be better...well for a few hours. At about 6 she got sick again, and just wasn't looking good. She was pretty lazy the rest of the day with a fever of 102.6 degrees. She got sick AGAIN at 7, and the Tylenol wasn't helping much. I took Monday off cause I couldn't imagine her feeling much better in the morning after getting sick all day long. Monday morning she slept until about 9 which is a miracle in itself. I think she would have actually slept longer but I woke her up, checking on her, cause it is so unlike her to sleep past 7am. She was pretty slow getting up and moving around. She would just move from one pillow to another on the living room floor because she couldn't get comfortable....finally she fell asleep on the ottoman with a towel?!

What ever works though, right? I tried getting her to drink all day but she would get sick every time she drank. I was really nervous about her getting dehydrated especially because she is so little. She seemed to be getting back to her old self by about 3pm on Monday afternoon. For a few hours anyways. She drank a couple ounces of water (not much, but better than nothing) and then got sick at about 7pm. When she got up on Tuesday morning, she was still dry, which means she hasn't gone to the bathroom since Monday morning around 11am. When my mom got to my house I took Lexi to the clinic just to be safe and make sure she really wasn't dehydrated. Well after we sat in the room for 20 min. the decided they had to do a catheter in to get some urine. After that they sent us to the lab where the had to try 3 times to get one vile of blood. Then for us back to the waiting game in the pediatricians room. After about 40 minutes the told us that they had to admit her to the hospital over night because her dehydration lever was 14/24. So we got into Lexi's hospital room and about 20 minutes later they began the shenanigans of trying 12 times to find a vein in my small little baby girl. I was so sad for her, she was so scared. After every time they tried to put the IV in she would cry and cry, and with the saddest face, say, "I'm done Mama, I'm done." I was so sad to see my little baby in pain, I couldn't help but cry. I mean I knew it would make her better and that they were trying to find a vein, but it's hard not to get mad and yell at them to, "FUCKING FIND A DAMN VEIN ALREADY, You all are basically torturing my child." Ok, ok, I didn't say that but I really, REALLY wanted to. The next morning at about 11am she was discharged and we went home. She was a bit of an ornery one for a few days after being stuck there, but I guess I would be too. I am just glad it is over!

On a side note........ Lexi's Nurse had the same name as me (spelled different), she was due on Lexi's original due date....AND she is naming her little girl Alexis! How weird is that? It was so crazy. I was ridiculously excited about it. I love stuff like that. How ironic. I was going to ask her if her husbands name was Adam, but I didn't want to ruin the moment! Ha!

On a happier note....

Potty training update☺

2009-05-04T05:15:00.000-07:00

So far, so good! She had two accidents the first day...which by the way was the longest day of my life, and one accident the second day. She didn't have any accidents at all this weekend!!! I am so proud of my baby girl. I felt like this was going to take me 2 months with her, so I am very pleasantly surprised....and I am knocking on a ton of wood!!! I don't want to jinx it or anything, I am just soooooooo proud of her!

Crying, and whining, and potty training, OH MY!

2009-04-29T04:50:00.000-07:00

Potty training has officially begun. My doctor said to just wait till she asked to use it on her own, but my child is far too stubborn and I would like her to be potty trained before she is 5! I'm sure that she would not want to go on her own anytime soon, she doesn't mind having wet diapers, she likes diapers, she asks me to change her, she tells me when she has gone to the bathroom, IT IS TIME! I feel like it is going to be forever. Yesterday was the first day and she sat on the potty chair but didn't go in it at all, and she was NOT happy about it either. I think she changed her big girl panties about 4,981 times! By the time that lastnight rolled around at least she was peeing in her panties in the bathroom ☺ I am hoping that today there is a little bit of progress!

A love/hate relationship with the local grocery store

2009-04-26T21:38:00.000-07:00

RADERMACHERS Fresh Market

First of all, prices are outrageous. What would cost me $50 at a larger chain grocer, costs me about $95-$110 at Radermachers. I mean, yes it is close and yes it is convenient but that is double the price or more. It is frustrating, but I still go there. It is crazy how they can raise the prices so much because they know people will opt for convenience and it is...it is so convenient for me, but it so inconvenient for my bank account.

AND SECONDLY... what used to take me .35 miles and less than 1 minute to get to, now takes me 6 miles and 10 minutes. And go figure now that this little detour has come about, I find myself going there 5 times as much. Right now, it seems like this is a loose/loose situation.

The mama's and the papa's, I mean MY mommy and daddy!!!

2009-04-16T14:45:00.000-07:00

I love my mom and dad very very much. They have taught me so much. They are very dear to me and are so much a part of my life! I feel extremely blessed to be able to have the relationship with them, that I do. If I get my way with anything Adam always says, "Gall you are so spoiled." I always of course reply with, "No I am not!" But I have to admit...I AM! I am such a mommy's girl and well, I am a daddy's girl too! I love my daddy-o!!! I am truly STILL attached to my mom's hip. I see her almost everyday, and on the day's that I don't see her, I always get the urge to call her...like I can't go on with my day unless I talk to my mommy! My mom and dad are the best parents in the world and I am soooooooooo glad that they are MINE...and also that I am their FAVORITE child! Well my siblings think that they are the favorites, but who are they kidding, I mean...of course it's me ;)

...and these are a few of my favorite things

2009-04-15T20:04:00.000-07:00

What is your name?

What is your favorite color?

What's your favorite food?

What about your favorite show?

How do you feel right now?

Who was that

2009-04-02T05:19:00.000-07:00

EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. the phone rings Lexi asks who it is. I usually ignore her, and then once I get off the phone, she asks again, "Mommy, who was that" Ok I remember asking my mom that all the time too, but after awhile instead of answering she would say, "why, are you writing a book?" So I tried that too. BUTTTTTTTTT instead of a sweet yes or no I got, "Noooooooooooooooo? I not write a booooook(being snotty), books go in my pack pack, Mom."

Amen time.

2009-03-27T06:59:00.000-07:00

Just had to share this with you :) So rare to catch a sweet moment of a calmed child in my house!

So sad.

2009-03-25T04:58:00.000-07:00

I was at a training class last night, and just about had my heart broken. This women was talking about how she hates when her mom kisses her children. WHAT? I would be so sad if my mom didn't give Lexi kisses...babies need kisses! That's not even the worst part. She went on to say that SHE rarely even gives her kids kisses, and IF she does it is NEVER on the lips or cheeks, only on their forehead. No kisses goodnight, no kisses for a boo boo, no kisses for hurt feelings, no kisses for mad feelings. I just can not comprehend this, I DO NOT understand how you can go without kissing your own babies. It is so sad to me.

To me, kissing your babies is the ultimate in showing love and trust. Cheek kissing little kids reminds me of fake kisses like the double cheek air kiss thing. I don't know, maybe it's just me and the way I was raised but I can't imagine NOT kissing my daughter or nephews for that matter. I can see not kissing your adult children on the lips all the time that is a little different, but if you did, I don't thing there is anything wrong with it! My mom and dad still kiss me on the lips sometimes! I would never give up kissing my child!

After all how could you resist sweet little baby pucker lips?!

2009-03-20T13:09:00.000-07:00

Happy SPRING!

It's raining, but we DID get 3 walks around the block in, before it started... so it was still a beautiful day.

AND what better day for SPRING to land on than a FRIDAY! Woot woot...I ♥ Fridays!

Sweet baby kisses (don't mind the silly faces, we were really snugglin')

2009-03-16T05:06:00.000-07:00

My little bug was being so cuddley last night, which is not like her at all! I loved it and let her stay up until 10:30pm lastnight cause I was enjoying it so much!

THAT WAS MY MISTAKE...I am definately paying for it this morning.

Helter Skelter woke up at 5:15am this morning!! (I couldn't really capture her crabby-ness...but believe me, you!)

But it was worth it in the end, I love every second of my cuddeling, smooching, loving little girlface! It was the best snugglin' EVER!

Old school 90210

2009-03-05T22:17:00.000-08:00

I love love love this show. I am seriously addicted to it. I record pretty much every episode and will be very sad when I have seen them all. It kind of sucks cause I started in the middle so I have to watch to the end and then start at the beginning and go to the middle again....but I just had to get this out in the open!

Family pictures

2009-03-04T13:40:00.000-08:00

We finally got in and got our family pictures done! One of my daycare mom's gave me an amazing coupon for a free sitting and a free 10x20! I definately couldn't pass that deal up. I mean...REALLY I could not pass that up. Adam had got his wisdom teeth pulled at 2pm and our appointment was at 6:30pm. He was quite the trooper! I was very proud of him, and not to mention VERY greatful! The pictures turned way better than I had ever imagined.

Just how much crap CAN she stuff in to her little "pack pack"?

2009-02-23T19:44:00.000-08:00

Ok so I can not get rid of this bag (pack pack) It has become attached to my child. I had to draw the line when she wanted to sleep with it on her back...basically the only things I have seen her actually put in the bag are things that she doesn't want the other daycare kids to play with, which is the main reason I DO like the bag. It is good for her to have her special toys! Anyways, so today at nap time I was going to put the bag in the toy box, but it seemed pretty full. So I was curious what the heck she had crammed in there at this point. I had to laugh cause it just is funny the things that kids do or the things that they choose are important to them! This thing was packed full of stuff...not only stuff, but MY stuff. I don't even know where she found some of these things. She had a momma and a baby dog?, my bracelet, my lotion, my chapstick, her phone, her cd player, some rectangle foam thing that is obvioulsy cool, ONE shoe, Cheerios, and her favorite movie that I would guess is too scratched to watch now. Not to mention that I later found a $10 bill in the front pocket AND my tooth brush. WHAT IN THE WORLD?!

P.s. I threw the tooth brush away!

Fly like a bird

2009-02-18T21:42:00.000-08:00

Lexi has been "flying" everywhere she goes! She says, "I fly like birds, take a picture Mommy...I fly like birds!

Ps...I told you this dress was her one true love....

Apparently this dress is for all season

2009-02-16T17:36:00.000-08:00

I swear my child has a magnet to a certain dress. It can be -20 outside and she still wantes to wear it. First thing she asks for in the morning her her "peity" dress. She has a melt down on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sunday's because it is in the laundry. On Thursday she was dancing and it tore. Her little heart was broken. It was so so sad. I surprised her and fixed it and had it sitting out when she woke up. Seriously I have a hard time recalling a time when I have seen my baby more thankful in my life. It was like I gave her a million dollars. Every chance she has, she has to tell everyone that dress isn't "broken" anymore, it's fixed now! I love that little kids get so excited over the smallest things! It is definately heartwarming!

Loves my Valentine♥

2009-02-14T17:07:00.000-08:00

Adam had to work, so that was kind of sad, but he got of pretty early! Instead of going through the garage like he normally does... he knocked at the door and handed me and Lexi our valentine flowers and I got most beautiful card ever! It was so sweet. Lexi was SO excited about her flower and her condays(candy).....that she tore her flower apart within 20 minutes! Now she carries around the lego flower and says, "Mmmmm, it smells soooo good!"

Ok, so for all you hand santizing nuts out there....I absolutely LOVE Tiny Tillia. I bought mine at Target for $1.98 (on sale) now I have to pay full price on line because I can't find it at Target, but it is worth it. It smells surprisingly good, and is so cute! Lexi loves it and always wants to "wash her hands"!(In case my sister reads this....I am NOT getting paid to advertise this stuff! P.S. and I LOVE YOU)

Here is their story...

London-born designer Tiffany Lerman, creator of the successful Chester collection of fashion prints found on products ranging from handbags to scrapbooking, launched the children’s brand Tiny Tillia in 2006 with a range of all-natural bath and body items. With two small children at home, Tiffany realized that there was a lack of fun, fashionable product for children in the marketplace. Tiffany created a delightful collection of colorful characters using her sense of style and love of color and pattern that has made Chester so popular.

All Tiny Tillia products are people, earth, animal and environment safe and contain NO parabens - everyone can feel great about using Tiny Tillia on their kids - or on themselves!

The good, the bad, and the somtimes UGLY, words that come out of my 2 year olds mouth

2009-02-07T08:15:00.000-08:00

I woke up to a shrieking scream of a child who sounds devastated in the least. When I got closer to her door I realized what she was screaming all along was, "Mom, come get me...RIGHT NOW." I thought to myself, who is this child...So I get her out of bed, fill up her cup with chocolate milk and sat at the table with her as she ate the butter off of her toast. I tried to start a conversation with her, which are usually pretty entertaining at 6 in the morning. I asked her what she and her dad did last night, while I was at a training class. She looked at me like I was a complete idiot and said, "UGH...just stuff, OK Mom" I was pretty much shocked that these choice of words were coming out of my little princesses mouth. Did I mention that I am so excited to see how she acts when she is a teenager, if she is already being mouthy at 2!

My littlest bug

2009-02-06T06:33:00.000-08:00

Alexis just had her well check and is STILL only in the 8th percentile for height and weight, for kids her age. She doesn't seem that tiny to me. Her new Dr. had to check her birth date because he thought she was in for her one year well check. He kept going on and on about how tiny she was, I was getting kind of worried. BUT she is healthy, just short and skinny!

Fishy kisses

2009-01-12T18:27:00.000-08:00

Lexis got her first pet! Jack was her Christmas present from her Papa and Grammy. She didn't like him so much at first, but man o man is she in love with him now.Well except for when Daddy cleans the bowl, then he is "stinky peeeeeeew Jack" Lately she has been asking me If I fed him. Sometimes I am greatful for the reminder!

Harley Davidson 105th

....Me and Adam and his Mom and Dad went to the Harley Davidson 105th anniversary. It was SO much fun! We had a blast. BUT I MISSED MY BABY SO BAD. I balled my eyes out when I saw her. Oh my gosh I was so HAPPY to see her beautiful little face, her chubby little cheeks, her cute little lips that give the sweetest kisses ever, her blonde little pigtails, her pretty blue eyes, and hear her sweet baby voice. Oh I missed her so bad I can not even explain it.

My baby...I missed sooooo much!

Sick day

My poor baby girl was still sick today. She got a cold and was feeling MISERABLE. She had a fever of 102.1 for almost 3 days...I took her in and they said she just had a cold, go figure the fever broke about 20 minutes after we got home

We have had A LOT of snuggling time watching NOGGIN,the last couple of days just me, Lexi, and kitty!

It is so crazy how much you can be like or look like somebody in your family. I look at my adorable little cousin and my sweet baby cakes and am just amazed at how all of our personatities are so similar! It is really neat to see, because then I know how I used to act when I was at those ages! I love it! It is definately entertaining at times because you can relate! Anyone else think that too?
