The best kind of days

Spring days at the park are some of the best kind of days.  

Be Mine

This Girl

{my little Kurt Cobain}

Has had a ruff couple of weeks.   Among other things, she got the stomach flu and threw up for the first time{s}.   It scared her and she just looked at us and asked "What is going on?"  There isn't much worse than holding your child as she's dry heaving.  And here we are a week later still fighting an upset stomach.  As for me I don't know why I thought I could cuddle a sick girl for a whole week and not get sick.  Ugh.

This girl has been working really hard on pronunciating all of her words right.  So she says things like Earf-th and teef-th  and Yell  low.  She loves reading letters on everything.  Signs on the highway, stores, books, you name.  She's getting quick and has picked up most of her lower case letters too. This girl still has a huge love of animals.  Pups first and foremost, then dinosaurs and dragons.  She loves to make cookies, read stories and chase.  Her legs get longer every day and she uses them to jump, twirl, dive, race, kick, and dance. 

This girl...

  

needs a nap.  I hope that blogger is still around when you are 16 Ivy.  You will love this picture ;)

Happy Christmas

Tuckered

Christmas is wearing this girl out!  It is a rare day indeed when Ivy falls asleep in the middle of the day {also known as taking a nap}.  We've been making our days Merry and Bright and it finally caught up with the little lady.  Our weekend was jam packed full of fun with Ams hockey, hanging with Grandma, playing in the snow and a waffle party.  And to tell the truth I'm a little beat too, so I can't blame her.  And this week is shaping up to be just as fun and exciting.  Isn't it the most wonderful time of the year?! I just wish it would slow down!

She cracks me up

"My pants aren't very sleddy."

"The Little Lord Jesus needs a pillow."

Last week we were driving to Hobby Lobby.  She asked if it was a restaurant and could we please eat lunch there.  

My Mom gave her a little stuffed reindeer named Chestnut.  Ivy can't quite get it and calles him Peanut Chest.

"We will fall in love and get married when I'm all grown up.  When I'm 6."

"Can you come and snuggle the Little Lord Jesus?"
