Playdate & Picture Overload!

There are lots of pictures today...so you have been warned:).

Yesterday I took the Princess on a playdate to Chuck E Cheese.  This was her first time to go there and I have not been there in YEARS!!!  I think she had a great time!  It was a great playdate!  Considering how hot it is here right now the parks do not sound that exciting...I was surprised that there really were not that many people there!  The picture at the top is of the two of us...there is a booth you sit in and it snaps your picture and then sketches it.

She was not to sure of this car when she first started riding it....but after riding it twice she liked to go back to it!

She looks like such a big girl here....just reminds me she is about to turn three in just one week and one day!

Look who came out and we just happened to be walking right toward him.  I ask him if we could get a picture and he shook his head yes!  Can you tell the Princess really liked him!

 

And here is another one!  We left there and came home and the Princess was asleep when we got home and took her nap before she ever had lunch.  I just brought her in and laid her on the couch and she slept for a while!!

So here is today's picture!  Maybe I will be able to get a better picture for today before the day is up!!

We Love Having Company In Town!

I think I have said before on here that the Princess LOVES ice cream.....in this picture it was yogurt!

Father's Day my inlaws were in town for part of the weekend.  Here are a few pics of the Princess with them and then also with hubby.

The Princess and her daddy....yes, can you tell she is definitely a daddy's girl!

Hope you all had a wonderful Monday!  I am exhausted.  We hosted a pool playdate at our neighborhood pool today....I still have to download the 2 pictures I took.  When the other moms and kids started arriving I totally forgot about my camera and to take pictures.  I do have one to post of the Princess though!!

Snapshot Saturday!

It's Friday!!

Yay!  It is Friday!!!  The Princess and I are excited because hubby is on a plane right now flying home!!  He has been out of town this week so we are excited he will be here just in time for the weekend!

I think I have figured out the theme for the Princess birthday party.  Hopefully today I will get a chance to go look around and make sure I can figure out how to decorate for it and then get the invites in the mail no later than Monday!!

Do any of you watch Downton Abbey?  Several friends have told me how great it is so I have been on the waiting list at the library to check out the whole season at one time.  I got an email yesterday that it is finally my turn!  You would not believe how many people have been on that waiting list!!  I am going to pick it up today and hopefully start watching it this weekend.  I am on the waiting list for season 2 also. Can't wait to see what it is all about.

Well, I need to make sure the Princess finishes her sandwich without sharing it with Sadie then do a few more chores around the house and get the little Princess down for a nap.  Funny how somedays seem to go by so fast while other days drag out...I can't believe it is almost 1:00.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  And by the way, I am going to start doing my "Snapshot Saturday" again so be watching for a snapshot (most likely a picture from sometime in the past 3 years) tomorrow!!

Almost 3 and Mother's Day!

I can't believe my baby is almost 3!!  Yesterday she and I went to look at stuff for her party.  You would think I would already have it all planned but I am having such a hard time trying to decide between two different themes.  I have to make my decision in the next 24 - 48 hours though because I have got to get the invites made and in the mail.  It is so tempting to just go with a color rather than a theme....that might be MUCH easier:).

This year I really want to start making birthday traditions with her too.  I told hubby a while back there is a restaurant that I think is really fun to go to and maybe we could make that her yearly birthday place to eat!  I want to figure out how to make that day super special for her and then carry on the traditions in the years to come.  Do you have any special birthday traditions that you do with your kiddos?

This week is flying by....Tuesday night I hosted a MOPS moms night out at my house.  We had a great time sitting around and just chatting.  Although I don't know how much I really chatted that night because I was so tired! 

 

Isn't this a picture of two cuties!  Hubby was traveling Mother's Day weekend!  This picture was from the Saturday before Mother's Day.  Friends of ours had invited us to watch their youngest son play soccer!  The Princess had a great time and got a picture made with "A" after the game.  

This picture is on Mother's Day.  Remember above I mentioned that Hubby was out of town that day so this is a picture that I took of me and the Princess...not the best picture in the world but at least I have one of us on Mother's Day.  This is not the first Mother's Day that Hubby has been traveling.  He actually was traveling the first Mother's Day after the Princess was born.  I am thankful for our friends Alexia and John.  Both years that he has been gone (2 out of 3 since the Princess was born) Alexia and John have invited me to join them for lunch.    We always have a great time....on the Princesses first Mother's Day we gave her a french fry...it was the first time she had ever had one....it is amazing how much she has grown up in just 2 years!

Mother's Day afternoon (after nap time) the Princess and I went to the Sonic to get ice cream.  You see the ice cream in her hand in the picture at the top...she really did eat almost the whole thing!!  She definitely takes after her daddy when it comes to ice cream!  Recently we were driving through a shopping area (that we do stop and get ice cream at some) on our way to Toys R Us I think....anyway, she saw Cold Stone and was wanting to go for ice cream...too funny that she knew exactly where we were and which store was the one with ice cream!

Happy Thursday!! 

Happy Wednesday!

The princess LOVES to play outside.  If I would let her we would probably spend most of our day in the backyard no matter how hot it is out there.  Here she is driving her pals (Woody, Jesse and Bullseye) around the backyard.

As you can see here Sadie and the Princess are best buds....do you see the hairband the princess has put on Sadie...and the beads that the Princess has on have been seen on Sadie before too!!

One morning I watched "H".  "H" and the Princess are friends.  "H" is about 6 months older than the Princess.  here they are helping each other get the little 4-wheeler up the hill.  Teamwork at its best!

Does the Princess looked relaxed here or what?  Her Mimi and Papa got her this wagon for Christmas.  Hubby decided we would take it to the local Memorial Day Event here in town.  They had a band and fireworks.  Obviously the Princess did not want to listen to the band and opted to watch a movie instead.

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!  I can't believe the weekend is only two days away!!

Here I Am!

So it has been a while....a certain little 2 year old keeps me very busy and on my toes!  By the end of the day I am usually so tired that I don't want to do that much!

This past week my mom mentioned to me that I had not updated the blog and then my father in law also mentioned it to me a day or two later.  I decided since they both said something to me that I probably should update the blog and try to keep it updated!

Obviously a lot has probably gone on since the last time I updated but I think I will just start with today and then go back as I can.

The Princess and I stayed home ALL day today!  So not that exciting of a day around here.  She is into everything and all over the place.

This weekend my in-laws were in town and on Saturday evening she started slapping her ear.  We decided to run her to the after hours clinic and have it checked out and sure enough she had an ear infection.  In the past she has always ran a fever with her ears and that is what has prompted me to take her to the doctor but this time she has yet to run a fever.  I think her ear is better as she has been bouncing off the walls since she started the antibiotic.  She fell asleep when we left the doctor.

The past two weeks the Princess took swim lessons.  We took from the same lady as last year.  The Princess did MUCH better this year I thought.  The last day we came down the slide!  It was a small slide but still she came down a slide and splashed into the water!  Here she is hanging out one day as we waited to see what the weather was going to do.

The picture at the beginning of the post is Saturday a week ago when we were going to her little friends birthday party.  Hmmm.....she did so well carrying the bag in and then it was a different story when we had to put the bag with the other gifts!

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!!
