I'm late ...again

I know it is Sunday.... but here is the Photo Friday pic. I took this pic in 2008, on  a trip to Portland.  I loved how it turned out.

Aileah lately

It seems like Aileah is growing up so fast and changing every day!  Here's a little catch up.

Aileah's favorite shows to watch

Special Agent Oso

Caillou

Aileah's favorite movies.   She asks to watch at least one of these every day.

Despicable Me

Tangled

Up

Aileah loves to sing.  Her favorite songs right now?
  *Just The Way You Are- Bruno Mars
  *Firework- Katy Perry
  *Hey, Soul Sister- Train

Aileah is talking like crazy.  She wakes up in the morning talking and sometimes falls asleep talking.
  Some of her most commonly used phrases:
 "Let's get outta here."  She says this when she is bored and wants to leave stores.
 "I need kisses"  and "You need kisses?"  This is pretty adorable.
"I so funny!"
"Everything ok?"
One evening I was getting dinner ready and feeling awful.  (When I am sick I get weepy.)  Aileah came into the kitchen and asked me if I was ok.  Through my tears, I told her I was ok just sick.  She went to her room and got her big panda bear for me to cuddle.  What a sweet girl!

Some of Aileah's other favorite things:

Emptying her bed of all the toys she likes to sleep with.  Here she is laying on the couch surrounded by her toys.

Being outside.  Here she is talking to a worm.  She was saying, "Don't worry, worm.  It's just fireworks."

Playing in water.  Little water baby!

Riding any rides.  She loves the train that goes around the Provo Mall, the Ice Cream truck at Wal-Mart, and anything at Chuck E. Cheese's.

I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  Even though money is tight,  I am grateful to be able to be at home with her so I don't miss a thing!

 

It's Friday again!

This is an old shot from one of our hikes.... back before Aileah :)
But I still like it.

Another photo Friday

I took this pic in our front yard on Aileah's birthday.  I spottted this perfect tiny leaf in our grass.

Photo Friday

I know... I am a terrible blogger.  Sometimes,  I just don't feel like enough is going on to blog about .  My sister, Sheri, informed me yesterday, that it had been 5 weeks since I updated our blog.  So... in an effort to blog (at least something) more often I decided to start posting a picture I have taken every Friday.  I enjoy photography, although I have LOTS to learn.  I hope you enjoy this new addition to my blog.

Water lily taken at Thanksgiving Point gardens.  I like the contrast between the flower and the background.

You make me smile

I love my little family!  I am grateful to be a mom and a wife!  How can you not smile when you see this little face looking back at you?

Showing off her sweet fashion sense!  It's 95 degrees out?  Furry boots are the best choice!

Action shot.  Running girl!

We set up her pool.  If the tree is spraying, she would just stand there and drink.  Silly!

Another reason to smile!  Baby #2 will be here around Feb. 14th.  Whoo hoo!
Smiling through the morning sickness!
