The last of the birthday recap!!

Sunday was her actual birthday and we have made a tradition with just doing something as a family that day. We began that day with a long awaited present-a disney Cinderella castle! We got it back in June and since she saw it, we told her we gave it away, something she would occasionally remind me of. :) We then headed to Dunkin Donuts, and then ventured to the toy store where she picked out a new puppy she named chocolate. She decided she wanted pizza for her birthday dinner so we headed to Ledo's. After, we went home and played the rest of the day with her new toys since it wasn't great out and to be truthful, I don't think there was anything else she would have rather done. She LOVES all of her new toys and I can't believe how much more she is beginning to play by herself for longer periods!

We took a long walk that night, and played rocks and did daddy/daughter racing!

Monday Matt and I took the day off and had originally planned to take her to the zoo, but we decided to make it a lazy day and played pretty much all day! We started off with french toast-her favorite, and headed to the park to feed the ducks and play. We went home and all evening played with her toys. The next morning as we were leaving to go to work, without either of us saying a word, she said "thank you so much for everything for my birthday, I loved it!"-SO WORTH IT ALL!!!!

Day 2 of the snow....

Image
Today we got a batch of ice which so nicely laid over our 2-3 inches of snow. Luckily, I was off and didn't have to call in! Matt went to work a couple hours late so I made a big breakfast with eggs, bacon, homefries, toast, and orange slices! We played and watched a good bit of TV, I'm not proud to say, but with Matt fighting a cold, and me with a headache again, I decided to make it a low key day and she was thrilled! After her morning nap and lunch, "we" decided to surprise daddy with some cookies. I let her watch me and she helped stir and lick the beater. Yes, there were raw eggs, and no, I don't think it will kill her. Our finished product! I might add this was my best batch of cookies EVER! Playing with her pics.... I should add there will be no post tomorrow, because I am going with Pam and her family to the Dancing with the Stars show(the tour, not the actual show). I am SO excited!!!! It will actually be my first night away from Cayleigh ever, which make...

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Two years ago today I was headed to the hospital ready to have my baby... At 1:02pm on August 22nd, we had our beautiful baby girl... It changed our lives forever. Cayleigh(aka-Kiwi, pee-wee, lovebug, etc) we love you so much and feel so blessed to have you as our little girl. Your sweetness and kindness is so beautiful, and your hugs and kisses mean more than you will ever know. Watching you grow and learn new things every day makes us so proud, and it remind us to slow down and look at life the way you see it.
