I am so sad that I do no get to see my beautiful sister and niece every morning anymore, but we had such a good time and Layla loved to play with Mercedes! She was so nice to her and let her play with all her toys. Not once did they fight about anything. It was so cool to see them play together. Every morning when Mimi woke up I could her "Yay-ya!" It was the cutest thing ever.

 They had a blast making a mess out of everything.

I really wish they could pay together everyday. My sister called me and said that since we left Mimi goes into the room we stayed in and says "yay-ya?" It makes me sad. Layla has someone to play with here, her Tia Teresa, but Mimi has no one! :( I hope they move back soon!



Home sweet home!

So we are finally home from our trip! We had so much fun! Layla had a blast with her cousin and Paul and I got to relax! It hurt my heart to leave but she will be in town next month so I feel a little better! :))
Tomorrow I will post pictures bc now it's time for my least favorite part, unpacking! >_<

Yay me!

*tear*

So my memory card on my phone has finally started 'warning' me about the Amount of space I have left. -_-
So I decided it was time to upload them on to my external hard drive to be safe. I almost started crying!
My sweet Layla is soooooooooo big now and it makes me kind of sad. Looking at all the pictures of her before she was 'independent' makes me wish I had taken more pictures! (If that is even possible!)


Her little chubby cheeks make me melt every time. I really need to start scrap booking!
I have only a handful of pictures of myself as a baby and I want Layla to be able to have something to look back on and See just how much she was spoiled, loved, happy, and how much she loved to eat!!!
Today she started hitting the ball off the tee. She had done this before but today she was holding the bat the 'correct way' and was swinging it like a pro! You can imagine how her daddy's heart melted when he saw his little girl had an interest in softball! Lol
I have to record her with my fancy camera and upload it so I can share. I took a video with my phone and put it on facebook but the quality kind of sucks! -__-
Well it is almost one in the morning and I should probably try and get all the four hours of sleep that I will probably get. Makes me tired just thinking about it.
But the faster I go to sleep the faster tomorrow will be here and we can go on our trip!!!!! SUPER EXTRA EXXCITED!!!!!!! :))))))))

Always the last minute!

So tomorrow we are going on vacation, well kind of! We are going to Portland (TX not Oregon) and we are going to visit my older sister and my beautiful niece! I am so excited! I want to be there already, I miss my older sister so much, and I know the time is going to go so fast! :'( I wish she lived closer! I mean look at my beautiful niece's face, how can you not want to be with her allll the time!!!!

My sister is also beautiful, don't get me wrong. I just don't have a recent pic of her! lol
Any who, I, of course, waited until the last minute to pack, and Layla took full advantage of my spaced out thinking. The room was a complete mess. Clothes were everywhere, q tips all over the floor, toys that I kept stepping on, cracker crumbs all over the carpet, and she got ahold of my make up brushes and had black eye shadow on her cheek, she looked like she had whiskers! Can't get mad at that beautiful face! I tried to take a picture, but you can not really see it.

She is a cutie! :)
I am happy that I have posted for 2 days in a row, I gave my self a week (bet with my friend Edgar, he gave me 3 days! lol)

I will probably not post again until tuesday when I have settled in from our trip. Probably with lots and lots of beautiful pictures of Beautiful Layla and her Beautiful cousin, Mercedes!

I can not wait!!!

Now, to finish washing and packing! -_____-

My Lovely Layla

 

So hard to believe my sweet sweet Layla is 17 months! 
Seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home and all she did was sleep and stare at me like I was a crazy person! I feel like time is flying by and it worries me. She is growing so fast, she loves to pretend to cook and she talks like no one's business! First thing in the mornig I hear, "Ummmm...dababa ba la ga shaoww ball night nigh... ummmm.....daddy.....ummm sha sha sha.....mimi....ummmm"

I am sure she is telling me all about her sweet dreams, I just wish I understood.

Before I know it she is going to be a teenager and I am am going to go crazy, I now, understand completely why my mother was so protective of me, I of course felt caged in and had this "uggggh you never let me do anything" attitude but I a thankful of how she raised me. If I could, I would keep Layla in a bubble and never let ANYTHING happen to her!! ^_^
Knowing I have the responsibility to raise Layla to be a humble, mature, responsible human makes me nervous! I don't even really like how I am, and I am supposed to raise Layla to be something I wish I was? -_- I can feel the grey hairs coming!!

I hope to keep this blog going longer than a day (my record in 2010) -_-

Since my scrapbooking still has not started, maybe this will kind of make up for it! :D
