She has been working on potty training for a few months now. Actually since she was about 20 months old, she was telling me potty. She was ready, BUT we weren't. She had kind of quit trying for a while. But today I thought, lets try Panty's. Only one accident all day. SHe did wear a diaper for her nap though. Looks like this week is going to be the week. (as of right now). She thought EE EE should go on the potty too.

.



She says "Let's cuddle DA DA". It doesn't last all too long. But just hearing her say it is enough to make your heart crumble.



This is one of her favorite places to play. It is "ANOTHER TOY BOX" but in my kitchen.

This is her fake "cheese" smile


This little monkey is her favorite
We all know his name is George
And so does she. but she prefers
to call him "EE EE"
This is what I call beautiful.

Cold but soo much fun.






She would rather be behind the four wheeler going
fast, than have me pull her slowly and out of breath.

Looking like she's posing!! NOT it was ATTITUDE she did not want to pose for the Christmas cards. We got some great pictures later in just her diaper and a santa hat. I thought I had better not send them out.

This little girl makes my heart SMILE!!!

















I entered this picture along with four others on here
into the GAP casting call. Only 800,000 applicants
and she was not picked. ARE THEY NUTS!!!!








We didn't give you the gift of life , But in our hearts we know.
The love we feel is deep and real, As if it had been so.

For us to have each other Is like a dream come true!
No, we didn't give you the gift of life,

Life gave us the gift of you!!
