It's Official!

I just booked the park for Kaylie's first birthday party....She is turning 1!!! Can you believe it? In a little over a month we will be celebrating our first born's 1st birthday. CRAZY!!!!

Where has this year gone?

I should have said YES!!!

Devin had plans to meet up with a couple of friends for a late lunch today....he asked if I wanted him to take Kaylie with him...

K and I stayed home, having a relaxing afternoon making a chicken and potatoes for dinner. After putting my chicken (a whole different story....) in the oven I noticed Kaylie playing with AND eating something dark.....I immediately wish I had said YES!

I didn't think to take pictures, I just panicked- BIG TIME. I scooped up my darling daughter who was in the middle of eating her poop, tore her clothing off and dumped her into the bath. I washed every crevice of her cute little body. She didn't understand why I needed to wash out her mouth so many times... but I didn't care, I let her scream.

I did take some after pictures of my kitchen floor, the nice art work K made, but decided to spare you....I think you can create the picture!

Did I mention I love her?!!!

Just Another Day In Paradise!

As close to snow as we are going to get here in CA!!!

(Don't mind the pots hanging out in the middle of the walkway....

they are enjoying the rain too!)

On this rainy day I am enjoying the simpleness of my day....listening to the sounds of my dishwasher cleaning all my dishes, my husband fixing up the bathrooms upstairs & the rain on our skylights..... but most of all, I am loving the smell of this cooking in my oven!

Hope your day is as simple and lovely as mine, minus the above mentioned post!!!

NAP TIME....whether you like it or not....

Nap time is from 12-2pm every day....nothing has changed EXCEPT....she didn't want to nap. At 12:45 she decided she wanted to play. So if play is what she wants to do, play she can do in her bed until 2:00...You can't see it, but on the side of her crib is an under the sea music thingy she loves watching and listening to.......Isn't she adorable?!!!

:) I'm going to be busy watching her play! I love my baby!!!

Adorable!

Found this idea here and loved it!

LOVE Love love her!!!

How can this NOT make you smile?

Facebook = Fun Friend Reunions!

I was a little hesitant about joining Facebook at first. I felt like I was too old, that it was a college thing. But some of my friends had signed up and I wanted to look at their pages, so I signed up & now I am SO thankful that I did. I have had contact with so many fun people from my past. I love love love that people from all different parts of my past have found me & I get to see what they are doing. I have even had the blessing of getting together with some friends recently & looking forward to so many more reunions!!!

My friend Jaime from High School...we played softball together. Her girls are so adorable and I love that we each have a Kaylie (Kailey), and Katelyn.
