Tangled

Can I just say that I love these shoes and this outfit is a 4T! I can't believe she is two and wearing 4t already.

We went to see tangled today and I really enjoyed it. Alayah got scared of the evil mother in it and said she didnt like the movie and thought we should go home. Luckily, a few snuggles from me got her over her fear and she finished the movie. I love going to the movies with my lil girl

Moment in Time Monday

Alayah got a new horsey shirt and she is loving it. Also we are restarting the potty training process this week too

Happy Birthday Grandma

I bought this outfit last year, but it was too big. I'm so glad it fits this year

Today was grandma's birthday so we had cake and ice cream and Alayah sang her happy birthday.

Alayah really enjoyed eating the cake or should I say just the icing on the cake.

I also accidentally shut Alayahs fingers in the trunk. It was horrible. She stuck her hand up there right after I pushed the trunk down and I couldn't stop it from getting her in time. It was pretty traumatic for me.

Box Braids

I put box braids in Alayah's hair for the first time today. They turned out pretty cute. We went to town to buy something for her grandmas birthday tomorrow. Alayah picked out some pig cooking utensils. They are pretty cute.

Thankful Friday

I'm doing thankful friday since I didn't do Thankful Thursday with it being Thanksgiving. I had to work today the worse day to be working in retail. I was so tired when I got home that I forgot to take a picture until the right before midnight. I barely made it. I am thankful for my parents who watch Alayah for me when I have to work. I don't know what I would do without them.

Happy Thanksgiving

We went to a buffet at a casino and it was alright. Not my favorite thanksgiving meal ever. Alayah ate pretty well and that's all that mattered to me.

When we got home we put together the tree and Alayah had fun helping.

Can you tell which branches she put on lol

She didn't help put ornaments on the tree, but she enjoyed watching the train once everything was all set up. It was a nice day with family and that made it extra special.

Blankies

I forgot to take a picture earlier today so this is what I got after she was asleep. A girl has got to have her bankies as Alayah calls them and one is never enough. She hauls several around all day. She has been attached to them since she was a little baby and its nice to have her attached to them instead of a pacifier or her thumb.

Hair

I'm getting in a phase of being tired of trying to do something with Alayah's hair everyday. Its hard because I can't not doing anything with it because then it will be a horrible mess to contend with. I just feel worn out on trying to come up with new styles. I haven't even cornrowed it in I don't know how long. I need to find motivation again.

Moment in Time Monday

Chuck E Cheese

We went to chuck e cheese tonight and Alayah had a great time. She was a little overwhelmed at first because it was so crowded and loud.

She found this horse to ride and pretty much spent the entire time and all her coins on this one ride lol. She did get a few tickets and of all the things she could have picked out she chose a spider and a snake. ick lol. Why couldn't she have chosen the necklaces or rings lol

The big book

I brought the Toys R Us big book home and Alayah wants me to read it to her all the time lol. She likes to pick out the things she likes and then tells me I need to go out and get it right at that very moment. She is so funny

Funny Alayah sayings

"eyebows"- eyebrows

"follow my leader"-"follow the leader

"biwd"-bird

"Alailah"-Alayah

Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful that it is still warm enough to wear summer clothes and its the middle of November. Woo hoo :)

Gone Shopping

Alayah loves trying on my shoes and wearing them around the house. Today she decided she was going shopping and she grabbed my purse and car keys as well.

I tried doing twists in her hair yesterday and I really like how they look when the are freshened up. It makes her hair look so much longer.

Dancing Queen

Alayah loves dancing and she is into posing funny for pictures now. She was breaking out in all sorts of funny positions and vogueing for the camera lol

Moment in Time Monday

This is how Alayah feels about getting her hair washed. She is definitely not a fan

Elbows and Kneebows

Alayah keeps calling her knee an elbow lol...I used to call my knee's kneebows when I was little and I've heard her call them kneebows one time. I think it is so funny that she gets them confused like I did.

She is still struggling with the I'm thirsty thing when she really means she is hungry. Hopefully, she will get it figured out soon.

Lazy Afternoon

We did absolutely nothing today but lay around the house. I seemed to just migrate to different rooms to lay down. Alayah found something to entertain herself with though lol

Thankful Friday

I am so grateful that my grandma went with me to get my christmas present early. She bought me a new camera so now I don't have to stress about missing out on any moments of my little girl :)

I am so super excited :) Alayah not so much lol

Thankful Thursday

Okay, my camera is completely done in. Thankful I was able to get one last shot out of it before it died

AAGGGHHHH!!!

My camera is dying and I'm freaking out. I don't have money to buy a new one right now and I can't go months without taking pictures of this lil lady...Agghh

Luckily, my dad let me borrow his today so I snapped a couple before Alayah and I headed to see Megamind.

She has such personality. :) She enjoyed the movie and I enjoy living somewhere that has matinees during the week not just on the weekends. This theater was huge and overwhelming for me and it is so weird to have so many options to choose from. I'm used to just popcorn and candy. It makes it simple, but this time there were hotdogs, pretzels, ice cream, starbucks, etc Seriously, crazy to me lol

Job Interview

I went for a job interview today and it went well. I really need to work. I don't like being away from Alayah, but at the same time I get bored of sitting around the house with nothing to do everyday and no money to go anywhere. I can't wait until she can start pre-school. She really needs to be around other kids her age. I am loving Vegas so far. I really enjoy the warm weather and I love that there is lots of things to do, I just wish I had money to go do them. I still feel like I am on extended vacation and it hasn't really sunk in that this is my new home.

Moment in Time Monday

Do I look Good In Glasses?

We went out to eat today and Alayah entertained herself by trying on her papa's glasses

She looked pretty darn cute I think.

How old are you Alayah?

"I two mama"

"Oh thats not two fingers? Ok let me try again

"I two mama" "Hurry and get the shot because this is really hard to do"

"How about you just take a picture of me just being cute...I'm good at that" :)

ready 4 bed

Baby girl is already for bed after getting her hair twisted and her silk wrap added for the night. I need to cut out the sippy cup at bedtime, but first things first...sleeping in her own bed everynight all night lol

The swimming pool

My parents have a swimming pool in their backyard and Alayah really wants to go swimming in it, but its freezing.

At least she is content to play around the edge and not actually get in.

I love this sweet girl

Wordless Wednesday

Getting Out

"Whats that you say?"

"We are leaving the house?"

"wah hoo!" "Let me do a little dance to show how excited I am"

"Yes I promise to be a really good girl."

 (if you buy me every toy and candy I want no matter the cost.)
