Hanging with Grandma by the lake

I Love this picture!

Having some fun with friends at Lake of Dreams!

The joys of being a MAMA!! And I wouldn't trade if for nothing!

Five Cherrie Tomatoes, BBQ Ribs, Green Bean Cassarole, and two Monster cookies. Last nights dinner=======in my hands about 3:am. Yeah,  You know how much you love your kid when that happens.

With someone elses kid, I would have joined them.
I know TMI

Avea "Mommy what we gonna do after I eat my food and take a bath"

 ME "what do you wanna do??"

Avea " SHOPPING" Thats my girl!!

YOUR TWO LITTLE GIRL!!

I was doing something a little bit ago. Avea walks in and says with the sweetest voice, "are you having some issues mama"  I say what?? "ISSUES, are you having some issues"

CATCHING UP

Avea was  watching "so you think you can dance" girls dancing...Avea says "that looks like Mama"


Me "which one looks like mama"....Avea says "the oldest one"..... Me "sad"

Stuttering

Avea has been stuttering on and off for a couple of weeks now.  Today the stutter came back.  It was really bad.  I swear she said wha wha at least 12 times before "what" came out.  Of course there is something funny about this.  As she was asking me a question she started stuttering wh wh wh wh and on and on.  Finally she says "MAN, I CAN'T TALK TODAY" .  Sometimes I just have to laugh.  Actually, I always have to laugh.  Love my girl, and her funny disposition!!

Things she knows

Right now Avea is counting from 1-10 then she says eleventeen fourteen eighteen.
She is counting in spanish from 1-10 too.   I can't get her to do her ABC's hardly ever.  And her colors, she does pretty good at.  But I think she gets confused because she is learning them in spanish too.  I know teaching her both english and spanish is slowing her up.  I am sure it will be worth it in the long run.

She loves the song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.   She sings it with her lips sticking out.  I am not sure who she is mocking ;0/  She will be singing the whole song soon.  We play it over and over and over.

She just started dance class.  The first class, Mama had to go in and do most of the dancing.  The next class Dada took her.  He went in, then left her in by herself.  I guess she did okay.  She is ready to go back.  She has to wear just a regular Black body suit.  It looks absolutely adorable on her.  OF COURSE!! (biased Mama)

Our life with this little girl is unbelievable.  Everyday she just shocks me with things she remembers.  Things  she says.  Things that just plain old, make me laugh.  But today, she made me cry.  She is just the sweetest thing ever.  Sometimes, I just wonder where she gets it from.  Again, this is going to be her baby/life book.  So, I try to put the things she says and does,that I DO NOT want to forget on here.

SATURDAY...She was just kind of playing alone.  She came across a book that was all about Miniature Pinschers.  So, in this book there are a LOT of pictures of dogs that look like Keiko.  I was make cookies, but always listening to her.  She says, "Keiko get better in heaban, I will lub you foreber.  Get better for I can see you again.  Get better in heaban".   Needless to say,  I shed a couple of tears.  I know her and her DADA would love another dog.  But, I am not ready for that. I am justgoing to be happy with my
 little CHICA.

For some reason I love everyone one of these pictures.
