Ball Pit Madness

This weekend I decided to build Mini an indoor ball pit.  She loves balls, and she loves her slide, so what better than to combine the two?  I searched all over HEB to find toy balls, and after 3 trips to Walmart and a trip to Toys R Us, I collected 750 balls.  A lot, right?  Well, we need about 400 more to complete but it's a work in progress.  Do you think she likes it so far?  I'll let you be the judge.  :)

First time to watch Tangled....not too sure about it :)

18 Months

Hubs and I decided to take Mini to get her 18 month pictures done, but instead of spending a fortune, we went to JC Pennys.  I am not a big fan of traditional,  studio pictures, but I am very pleased with these.  Her outfit is a pillowcase dress made by Grandma K, and even has the letter K on the front.  I can't believe the toddler in these pictures is my little baby, my Mini.  She is growing so fast....it reminds me to treasure these moments forever.

If you don't laugh or at least smile at this video, there is something wrong with you! For real. Go to the doctor. :)

A Month's Worth of Pictures

Its been a while since I've posted pictures of Mini.  I really need to get better at the whole blogging thing in general, so my new goal is to write twice a week.  Here's the last month's worth of pictures of my sweet Mini.

Drinking her baba 

Enjoying a little Dora at Borders

Showing her excitement for reading the newspaper

Feeling sick, so vegging on the couch

Taking a quick nap with Dad

Sick again!  Mommy loves moments like these (the snuggles I mean)

Love those dimples!

I love my Aunt "Emmy"!

Snoozing in the car.  Don't I look like a baby angel?

That's my Papa!

Aunt Emmy is so fun :)

Counting with dad.  I can count to 5!

Brushing my teeth (or chewing the toothbrush) :)

Playing the drums 

Shaking my rattle

This music thing is pretty cool!

Kisses for Daddy

Playing with my toys while Shaw watches

I LOVE my tambourine! 

Action shot!

Ok Mom, this is how you do it

Frustrated about something

I'm a silly baby :)

Today I took Mini to have her 18 month pictures done.  Instead of spending an entire paycheck on super nice pictures, I decided to go to JC Penny's to have a few head shots done on the cheap.  They turned out pretty cute and have an Easter theme to them.  I should have them by next week.  Of course instead of buying a couple of sheets of pictures, I had to buy the entire CD so I can print what I want and however many I want.  That is just how I roll.  :)  Be on the look out.  She is wearing her adorable pillow dress that her Grandma made her.  It is amazing as usual!

Stars Game

Hubs and I were lucky enough to be invited to the Stars vs. Ducks game Wednesday night.  Not only was it free, but the seats were in a suite as well!  We went with our good friends the Cockerhams and had a great time.  There was food, drinks, and a dessert bar to top it off.  Even though the Stars lost (in overtime no doubt) it was an awesome game and fun experience.  Thanks for letting us tag along!

So proud of my baby girl :)

Animal Print Matches Everything

This post is specifically for my husband.  :)

My formal living and dining room are one room combined, and for the past year and a half I have had a huge blank wall that I didn't know what to do with.  Mini's one year pictures came with three 12x12 pictures, so I decided to have them framed.  The wall was still missing something, until yesterday when I my mom found the most perfect accent piece....this wonderful animal print bench!!!

The reason why this post is for my husband, is because he thinks it doesn't match anything.  Come on silly hubs, animal print goes with everything!

I mean honestly, how good does that look???  This bench makes me so happy every time I look at it.  :)
