Happy Birthday papaw!

Taking my papaw to breakfast on his Birthday. Happy Birthday, we love you!

Target

What kid does not love Target! Soley found this hat and started trying it on in the mirror. So sweet!

Trying to catch up...

I'm working on catching up on all my posting! We have missed so much over the last few months. To start Soley got a swing set for Christmas from both sets of grandparents.  They both asked what Soley what she would want so I thought if I could get a really good deal on a playset (which I did) then we should get that! Well we made it work I got one on sale and a coupon and here it is! She just loves it! She spends most of her time on the swings but on her belly, she also likes to stand on the outside of the Glider and look upside down, she is a little bit of a dare devil! Her favorite thing to do is to go around to the stools on the side and order through the window, you can kind of see it in the first picture to the left.  She always is the customer and I have to go inside the clubhouse and she always orders brown rice with soy sauce and water in a Minnie cup! SO FUNNY!  But then her game is when you ask her to pay for the food she runs away and pretends to not pay and wants you to chase her! So much fun! I love this little girl, she is too smart!

Happy Birthday Olivia!

What a fun day!

Just a quick hello!

Happy Friday night! Enjoy the pictures!

What can Soley do?

I can't believe how much Soley can do these days, I like to say that she is much smarter then the average 22 moth old but I guess I am byes, I will let you decide!

* Speaks in 3-5 word sentences
* Knows her basic shapes ( square, circle, rectangle, heart, star, triangle, oval)
* knows her colors
* Can count to ten
* Knows her full name
* Knows all her family and close extended family's real names ( usually calls Daddy Jon, pretty fun) ( the other day I heard her say, Jon can you hurry up?) LOL too cute!
* Loves gymnastics, knows, pike, seat drop, lunge, tuck jump, straddle, apart together)
* Can jump with two feet
* Loves doing forward and backward rolls

I'm sure there is more but gives you an idea... She really is a sweet little girl, I can't tell you how many times a day she says thank you! She has such good manners, always says please and thank you, or no thank you.  (very good at that :)  She prays before dinner each night, her normal prayer is "thank you god for this food, thank you god for this day, AMEN!" If you ask her how she got so tall, pretty, nice, anything she will say God and Jesus.  She truly is a gift from god, and I am thankful for her everyday!  We are doing preschool right now and working on our days of the week, months of the year, creation circles ( order in which God created the earth) and much more! Will keep you updated!  Enjoy the pictures!

 Soley Playing with her best friend Olivia in the bath tub! These two are like sister, they love each other so much!

 Soley really loves basketball! For Eater we got her a basketball net and ball! She is tall enough, so we will see!

 Soley and her Cousin Lilly Kate at the Disney store, Soley LOVES playing with Lilly Kate, she calls her Cake, it's pretty cute!

 Riding a tricycle!

 Painting a pretty picture! Soley loves doing crafts!

 Playing with all her Mickey mouse clubhouse stuffed animals!  She is Obsessed with Mickey Mouse clubhouse!

 Soley and Livy always watch bubble guppies after taking a bath at Livy's house, then Livy goes to bed around 8 and we head home to play until 11! Then Soley goes down! LOL

 The park, what kid does not love the Park!

 Soley's trampoline, it has a net around it, we ha just got this part set up and she had to ju on it right away, but Papa (Jon's dad, put the net up very shortly after, we love this!)

 Play-dough! A favorite in this house! My mom did not allow it when we were little so I enjoy doing it with her!  She really loves making a snake and putting eyes on it!

 Getting her ribbon in gymnastics class!

 Sand and Water, what a hit, got this for her first birthday, boy what a good toy! All the kids in the neighbor hood love the sand! I'm the only mom that allows sand!

On your mark, get set, GO!

Easter

I know I'm behind so here it goes... Easter was So So much fun this year. I remember as a little girl loving Easter and all the Holidays! All of you out there who have children k ow what I'm talking about, getting to experience things through your children is SO much more fun then you ever had as a child! I just live being Soley's mom! Here are some pictures from Easter and a video of Soley looking for her eggs. This year we did the Easter bunny but Soley kept saying that it was Jon who was doing it, guess she is too smart! I also spent a ton of time teaching her to memorize that Jesus died on the cross for us! Take a look! Just figured out can only to pics on the iPhone app. Will load video later. This is soley at church and her and Jon that afternoon at the park.

Catching up...

I have added a App to my phone to maybe start trying to blog again! I really do miss it! Have a good Derby Day!
