Mommy's Little Princess

Isn't she just so sweet? I have no idea what she is doing in this picture but I though it was so cut because this is typical of something that she does at any given time.

Yo Homie! What's happenin'?
What part of PRINCESS don't you understand?
I told you I would post pictures of Alaya in her dress up that she got for her birthday. I would have scrapbooked these pictures and made them super duper cute, if only I had Jill's Creative Memories digital program, but I don't, so the pictures are going to have to be cute enough just as they are. Which I think they are anyway, but DANGIT I wish I had Jill's program. She does the cutest stinking stuff on her blog with it and I am soooo jealous! One of these days I too will have that program and my blog will become utterly AMAZING! Well maybe, if I can figure out how to work the program as great as Jill does. She is incredible!

Another BAD Hair Day!

Another crazy hair day at school I just had to post about because they look so silly. Personally, I never would have gone to school like this, but the girls' love it and think it is so much fun. Ashley especially likes to go completely crazy, and she definitely has the hair to do it. These pictures really don't do their DO's much justice because they looked a lot crazier to me than the pictures really show. Ashley actually had little black plastic spiders in hers that you can't see in the pictures at all. It was pretty funny and she was worried about them falling out in P.E. I think she only lost one all day so that wasn't too bad. You go girls!!

Snow?

Are you kidding me? It's only October 12 for heaven's sake! That's Eastern Idaho for ya I guess, and I am not at all happy about this! I hate snow! I always have and I always will and nothing will ever change my mind about that. Including my husband who thinks it's wonderful. Of course he grew up in Bolivia where there was no snow until he was 13 and then the rest of his growing up was in Sierra Vista, Arizona where there obviously no snow there either. So he likes all this "beautiful snow". Yuck! I grew up here my whole life and you would think I would be used to it by now. NOT! I still hate it every year and winter is soooo depressing to me. Every once in a while I will go and build a snowman with the girls, IF I HAVE TO. The only thing I like about winter is getting to wear my sweaters and that is seriously about it. Thank the heavens that the snow was all melted later in the day. I was happy about that!

Alaya's 2nd Birthday!

So, Alaya is officially two years old now! She loved her little birthday party that we had for her and it was so much fun watching her get so excited about her presents that she got. Her favorites were her baby doll, her dress up, and her Dora Doll (or should I say Dorla, according to her) that she got from Grandpa and Grandma H. She didn't quite know what to think when we all started to sing Happy Birthday to her and all of our attention was on her and her alone. We had to tell her a few times to blow out the candles before she figured out that is what she was supposed to do. Her daddy made the cake!

She was concentrating so hard on getting her presents open and she was getting a bit frustrated when she couldn't rip through them fast enough!

This is her baby doll that she absolutely loves. It was the first thing she wanted open and then her dress up was the next thing. She couldn't wait to get her clothes off and her dress up on. I will post some of those pictures later because they are just too stinking cute to pass up.

Daddy asked her she wanted money for her birthday too. She said yes and he handed her a one dollar bill. She was so excited she started jumping up and down on the chair and was so proud of her new money!

This is the face of an excited and very happy little two year old! I personally think she is just too cute for her own good. Of course Icould be just a little prejudiced!

Little Miss Aymara

Ever since Aymara started Pre-school she thinks I need to take pictures of her every morning that she has school. I take them just to humor her most days! I am posting these because she just looks so dang cute I couldn't resist. Plus, whenever I am working on my blog or open it for some reason, she says, "Mom, show me ALL of the pictures of me." It's so cute that she thinks it's so much fun to see pictures of herself, so I have to go through my whole blog with her and show her all of the pictures that have her in them. I am also adding this post because Jill said I need to get with it and post again!

I know, I know, I am kind of slacking these days. I have had a lot going on in my life and have been seriously stressed out. So, needless to say, it isn't just my family that is suffering, but my blog as well because of my lack of interest in waking up each morning to face a new day full of stress and depression. My poor house is also crying for my attention and I keep saying, "Tomorrow I will clean and get things done.", but then tomorrow always comes and goes and I still don't get the things done that I need to. Just ask Jill! She has been over to my house a few times in the last couple of weeks. She can vouch on behalf of my house!

Anyway, life must go on! Each day I am feeling a little better than the day before, so at least my laundry is slowly getting done and I am trying to get to other parts of my house as well. I think the girls are just glad to have some clothes to pick from now. Sorry this isn't a very upbeat or cheery post, but this time of year is just kind of depressing for me, and when I am doing even better and can manage it I will explain myself in a later post.
