Happy Halloween 2010

Happy halloween, family and friends! My mommy's camara was back into full swing and I was a trick or treating little princess. Or should I say dorthy. This year's Halloween was fun filled with parties, trick or treating and lots of sweets. On friday night mommy decided to start a new tradition of carving pumpkins with the family. Little did she know that I was not into the "gutting of the pumpkin". That was discusting and I refused to help.

On Saturday, mommy, daddy and I went to a Halloween/birthday party for my friend Cal. It was so much fun. They had all the bells and whistles a little girl could ask for.

Ugh, mom. Can we stop the mushy stuff. I am not three months old anymore.

On our last pit stop, we went to my cousin Katie's house. Katie, Greg, Chia and Ry Ry were all there to greet me. It was superb!!!

Big girl bed

I first have to say that I am upset with my mommy for not taking a picture of this Kodak moment. Tonight daddy came home from school and proceeded to go upstairs and take apart my crib, per mommy's request. I wasn't sure what in the world he was doing at first. All I knew was that my bed was being taken apart. Little did I know that he was turning it into a BIG GIRL BED!!!!!

As soon as he was finished, my mommy, daddy, chia and mimi began cheering loudly. I looked at them like they were looney until they explained that I was a big girl and could now sleep in a big girl bed like everyone else. Wow. I felt so confused and excited at the same time. I then smiled and walked over and jumped right in. Huh. This could work out to my advantage. I could get out, stall on going to sleep or simply play at the drop of a hat.

When it was time to go to sleep, mommy and I went through our usual night time routine. Upon finishing, mommy tucked me in bed and we said our prayers. Little did she know that she wasn't getting off that easy. Noooo maam. I then asked her if she would "lay down, mommy". Translation...lay down with me. She did and I was so excited. After patting my back and leaving, I proceeded to get up and see if I could open the door. I did this twice. Little did I know that my mommy could see me on the monitor and was holding the outside of the door closed. All in all, it wasn't too bad. I ended up falling asleep and making my parents very proud.

PS. Mommy lost the camara, which is why there are no pics!!!

Flu mist is evil!!

There are no pictures to describe how hard this last week has been for me, mommy, daddy and even Izzyman. All of the fun started last friday when my mommy took me to get my two year check up. Yes, that included shots and my first flu vaccine. (flu mist) It was not fun and I cried for a few minutes, but was up and playing in no time. I felt so great that my mommy let me spend the night with Maw so that they could go on a date.

All was well until the next morning when my mommy came to pick me up and I was complaining of my legs being sore from the shots, as well as running a low grade fever. Mommy took me home and gave me some tylenal and we went about the rest of our day. That night mommy's cousin (Katie and Greg) invited us over for dinner and it was yummy. After being there for about thirty minutes, I began feeling really, really bad. My mommy felt of my forhead, only to find out that I was burning up. Mommy and daddy took me home and put me in a lukewarm bath, in an effort to get my temperature down. After getting me out and wrapping me up, a few seconds later I became unresponsive. My parents began panicking and saw that I was not breathing and became stiff. Daddy called 911 and took me to the emergency room right away. Long story short, I had a febrile seizure. It scared me and everyone else to death. Two days later I had another one.

Moral of the story to all mommies out there, be careful with the flu mist. It is a live virus, which can give the virus to you. That was what happened and it was my mommy's worst nightmare. My mommy said she would never do that again and I am so glad. I had a high fever for five days, had two seizures and got the flu. Wheewww. Glad this week is almost over...

JJ/Moises bridal shower and Maw's 1st bi-weekly family night!

Wow, what a busy weekend we had. Mommy, daddy, chia and Ry ry loaded up and drove to BB and Pappa's house to help my aunt JJ celebrate her upcoming wedding. All I know was it was a party and I was invited....which was all I cared about. I had so much fun eating all kinds of sweets that BB would sneak to me when my mommy wasn't looking. I met JJ's new horse, I mean puppy, Ginger, and I thought she was facinating. In total, we had eight adults and five dogs under one roof. It was interesting.

Here I am with Uncle Moises. We bonded instantly. My mommy wasn't too happy that he was trying to get me to say, "Gig Em, aggies" but she did become satified when I corrected him by putting my guns up and saying "Go Texas Tech"! Nice try, Moises....

Here pappa and I are looking at the beautiful view in the backyard. If I could just get my parents to move here......then I could have the biggest yard in the whole wide world....

And here we are at Maw's 1st bi-weekly family night. Mommy and Maw decided that they wanted to get the families together twice a month, since everyone is always on the go. I thought this was a great idea and would give me an opportunity to see some of my favorite people all in one place. Mikey cooked his usual gourmet meal and it was superb. I was able to see Jessie, Kolby and both boyfriends.

So, after eating are delicious meal, I decided I wanted to play teacher. I told maw, my student, that it was naptime and go lay down and go to sleep. She did, and I decided I would lay down with her. Maw is so much fun to play with..

Here I am with Kolby's boyfriend. We bonded instantly, as you can tell.

Great weekend with friends and family! JJ and Moises, we love you and can't wait for the wedding!
