Makin' Me Laugh!

So today the chicken nuggets were talking to eachother.

"Hello"

"Hello"

"What-a-doing?"

"Muse me" (excuse me)

Story Time

Probably Ayla's favorite thing to do. Read books. Good girl. She's growing up so much. I was downstairs and she was up and she heard me cough and she yelled "OK Mommy?" Yeah, I'm okay. She's so sweet to me. When I'm putting her to bed I sometimes pretend to be a sleep so she'll get the idea and she'll pat my head and say "awake, awake Mommy!" Then there's always the "Hello, Whatchadoin'?" This morning she came into my bed around 4 and when she saw me as perky as can be said "Hello!" She's so polite too, anytime Tony or I hand her anything - anything at all she says "Thank you" even if she is sad or has been crying those are the cutest times. She says please and sorry and nice when she's going to be nice. Things are starting to be almost full sentences even- when did that happen? Like "Aya want hotdog" (love how she calls herself Aya), and "don't want to." My favorite lately though is it's no longer just "no" when she's adament about something it's "No, no way!" I've written about how much she likes to help me clean, and she now knows how to spray the windex so she does the coffee table all by herself! She also begged me to unload the dishwasher yesterday... the kids idea of fun needs some work!:)

All simple things but I was laying in bed this morning after being awakened by the too perky almost 2 year old thinking about some of these cute things and realized I needed to write them down so I wouldn't forget them. She just jabbers all day! Jabber, Jabber, Jabber!

.

Whose having more fun?

Seriously! They played with it for quite a while... all of them!

After months of debating I finally decided to cut Ayla's long beautiful hair to even it up! This was really her first haircut (I had snipped pieces here and there but never really cut it yet). So a week ago Sunday morning I decided I needed to do it. I have never had problems with her pulling her ponytails and headbands out until recently, so I would do her hair and she would pull it out in the car so where ever we ended up her hair was straggly in her eyes. So Sunday morning I set her on our bathroom counter and started cutting, I showed her the first chunk of hair and she just stared at it like 'what are you doing?' for a few seconds! Anyway, I like it a lot, it's much easier to keep looking done. I think it's really cute on her. When we were finished she was more than willing to have a photoshoot with her beautiful new hair, she posed herself against the wall for a few shots and then decided that Bupo and Bunny needed to pose too and soon after her bike needed to be in it too! I tell ya, I've got this little girl trained to be a model all of the sudden.

Big Mountain & White Fish

We're still doing Kailispell pictures here! I think were almost finished. These are from our last Friday there, Tony got off early enough that there was still light outside so we went up to Big Mountain and walked around a bit. The first picture is the view of the valley from the top of the mountain. The picture of Ayla walking with her butterfly blanket and Bupo is funny to me, cause she had to take her butterflies everywhere, just like Bupo! The next scenery pictures are coming down from Big Mountain the view of White Fish Lake. Tony and I love White Fish, it's so prettty there. Then we stopped in White Fish and ate at the Craggy Range Grill Ayla had mac & cheese and as you can see she loved it! Have you ever seen anyone so excited about mac & Cheese?

The Kalispell Mall

Our hotel was connected to the mall. It's not too much of a mall, it's just one little corridor of stores, but right inbeween the entrance to the mall and our hotel was this little fishy pond, so that was fun for Ayla to go see. And the other fun thing was to go to Orange Julius and get a "shake." That's one of her new things, she always wants a shake, so she loved that!

Brrrrr!

We only took Ayla swimming once the whole time we were there, and that is because the pool was FREEZING!!! It was a beautiful oval shaped swimming pool but burrrrrr! it was too cold! Ayla was shivering and grinning the whole time! She still loved it anyway!
