Friends, Family, and Playing Games

Well its been quite a while since my last post. Mommy has been really busy studying, and even though I know how to turn the computer on, as well as operate the dvd player, I'm still not ready to type out my blog by myself! There are alot of pictures to get caught up on. Hope you enjoy the pics of my friends and family!

This picture was taken at my great grandparents 50th anniversary!

Here are papa and I in my play house. I love playing in my playhouse but sometimes I am particular on who I let in. Papa had built me the house that day so I thought it was only fair to let him in.

This is me and my new friend Jason. He is actually one of Daddy's work friends. Once I got warmed up to him, we had alot of fun. He even played airplane with me.

Here is my nana checking on a boo-boo. Of course kisses make any boo boo better.

Here I am with my friend Y.C. (Yellow Cat). I am trying to share my sucker. Sometimes I try to get Y.C. into trouble by telling nana or papa that Y.C. got me, but mostly I chase after him!



This is me with my cousin Kaitlyn.

These pictures are of me playing outside. My most favorite thing to do. Sometimes it can be hard for Momma to get me to come inside. I am constantly telling momma "go outside pease".

These two pictures are from my pajama party at school. They are of me and my friend Jalen. She is the only other little girl in my class, so we have to stick together! I love giving hugs!


I love shoes. This is me walking around in my daddy's work boots. How do like my pajamas, Aunt Suprina?


This is me getting in position to play ready, set, go. I am very fast. I love to race. When I leave for school I tell momma that I want to go play games. I think I am going to be like my daddy who loves to play games especially dominoes.

This is me playing getty-up pony with my cousin Tristan.

I am now 26 months old. Mommy and Daddy can't believe how big I have gotten. I am very proud of my mommy for getting into school. She has a hard time leaving me when she goes to school. I am starting to watch Max and Ruby, but my absolute favorite show is still Caillou. I love singing the theme song. I also enjoy going to church and school. When we drive past I always say "Day Day's school". The other day mommy and I shared a popsickle and she looked surprised because after she said we are going to share I said "ok, my turn momma", and then I said "your turn momma". I learned it at school. I have also learned songs at church. I love the B-i-b-l-e song. I also have been saying "look at me" alot lately. Usually after I put a shirt or shoes on by myself. Or because I have a hat on (sometimes its just something I made into a hat!) I still love books and babies, but sometimes my babies get into trouble. I have alot of great family and friends and I wanted to share some of what I have been doing with them this past month!

Happy Valentine's Day

I haven't posted in a while so I thought it was about time to update my blog. I had a Valentines Day Party this week. It was so much fun. Everybody loved their boxes. I wanted to sleep with mine, but mommy said I coundn't. At least I got to take it with me to Nanny's house the next day. Mommy started back to school full time, but I am adjusting well. Its been good for me to be on more of a schedule. For Valentine's Day this year I got some new outfits from mommy and daddy, a card from my Grandma Coats, a card and some hearts candy from Nana and Papa Byrd, a card from my Papa Joe, an elmo doll that straps onto me and some outfits from my Nana Smallwood. My favorite games to play right now are hide and go seek and ready, set, go (racing). I try to race mommy and daddy, but I think I tire them out! Sometimes I might cheat a little and yell "go" after I already started!

Checking out my stash!

Playing outside, "Oh, no I haven't seen Gene's dogs today!"

My first Valentine's Day box.

Mommy got a new camera this week and this is one of the first pics that she took!

The Nicest Complement

January 18, 2009

Mommy said she got one of the nicest complements she's ever recieved today. Amy Cudd told her she was a very good mommy. She said "you can just tell, Dayona cares about others, and she's learning so fast. Then Shirley told her that I was a little song bird and that I picked it up all so fast! It made mommy feel good that someone actually noticed how well behaved I am for a two year old. Of course I have an onery streak, but I am polite and am learning new things everyday!

My New Skills!

As of January 12, 2009 I have some new skills. I thought I would blog about some things I am currently doing. I can sing my abc's, and I can count. I go 1,2,3,7,8,9,10, but I can count! I walk up and down stairs which is scary for mommy! I love going to preschool infact I just go in and play mommy and nanny have to come inside to tell me bye bye. I love doing puzzles, playing kitchen, and watching cartoons, or dot com as I tell mommy. I can sing along with almost all the commercials and shows on sprout, I like sproutonline dot com. My favorite cartoons are Caillou, Lazytown, Oswald, Little Bill, Barney, and when Elmo comes on Sesame Street. I love to play, sing, and run around!

Happy Day, I'm 2!

Yesterday I turned 2. I had 2 parties. One was at my school, and the other was at home. At my school party, I served Barney cupcakes. I blew out the candle on my cupcake and then gave it to the little boy sitting beside me.

At my home party, I just ask the grandparents that lived close by if they wanted to come by before church. I had a "princess" theme. We opened presents, watched a video, and had cake and punch. I danced on the table and sang for my guests. I loved it when everyone sang the "happy day" song. I want to thank everyone for coming and for the gifts. It was alot of fun spending time with people I love! I even wore a tutu to my party. I however couldn't decide if it looked best pulled way up to my chest, or if I just took it off completely!






This is me with all my great-grandparents.

Me with my grandparents and two greats.

I had to give papa a bite of ice cream.

I loved opening all my presents this year.



The next pictures are my two-year old pictures. I am getting to be a big girl! The last picture was taken the morning after my birthday. I guess I didn't want my happy day to end so I got out my play birthday cake and put it on the table while I sang happy day to Day!

Picnic at Redrock

It was so nice yesterday that I told mommy and daddy we better go outside! We packed our lunch and went to Redrock to eat. They had a new swingset set up, so it was so much fun. I didn't want to leave! I am so glad we went because there aren't many days like this!

Flashback Friday

This New Years Eve pic was taken in 2004. It is actually from our wedding. Our anniversary is on New Years Eve. We were married in Eureka Springs in a little chappel, in a sunset ceremony overlooking the lake. It was beautiful weather for December. We even took some pictures outside! Sorry if I've posted some the pictures before.
