Busy Busy

Well Jason's been working 7 12 hour days, but we've kept very very busy.  Last weekend we went to Geary Fair.  This weekend we went to the State fair and a birthday party at the zoo.  Dayona LOVES the fair!!    favorite part was the clown.  She thought he was hilarious!  She also loved being a "farmer".  She also rode almost all the rides in the kiddie land part.  At Geary fair, I was shocked that she rode these swings that went pretty fast.  At the zoo her favorite was the playground.  Right now she loves to play school, which is a step for me from playing house (she no longer gets groceries at of my refrigerator)  of course she is the teacher!  When I asked her what she wanted to be the other day she said a doctor, a ballerina, and a teacher.

This was a character Cox had at the State Fair.

She loved this and did it twice- Farmer for the day.

She loved posing in these I think I ended up with seven or eight pictures like this.

All of her goodies she won at the fair except the foofa (we bought her).

Hinton Fair 2011

Here are some recent pics.  The theme of the week is "Barbie House".  Nana Smallwood found Dayona a barbie house and we could hardly tear her away from it for two straight days. She even told me her stomach hurt in the morning before school.  I told her to keep laying down and rest, and when I peeked in later, she was playing with her house.  At the fair she loved riding "rainbow".  She also helped Nana at a garage sale.  She kept asking me for a dollar, and buying toys which she would take back in the house.  Then she would come out and I give her the same dollar and she would buy more toys. Yesterday we went shopping, she picked out another purse, then when we went to Ulta she had to have things to put in her purse.  She picked out lipgloss, lotion, and eyeliner, which she loves to put on.  She is gonna love makeup and be a shopper, don't know where she gets that?!  She is getting so tall!  In other news Jason has still been working 7 12 hour days, and finally has a day off today- labor day.  Its starting to get colder outside, and it actually rained a little yesterday.  Dayona is learning alot at school, last night she sang a little song and told me where the front cover, back cover, spine, and title page were on her book.  She can write her name independently well, write her numbers from 1-10 with a little guidance, She recognizes all the uppercase letters except L and N, she loves to "read".  We often read three books every night.  Here are some pictures from this week.

At the fair with Nana

Her elephant she won at the fair by throwing a baseball.

Before shopping one day, she was taking pictures.  She also picked out her outfit.

Riding "rainbow"  She would wait a turn just to be at the front of the line to ride this horse!

ETC.

Last night Day told me "Ive been hiding something from you, Ive been eating my boogers and its making my stomach hurt"  Oh this girl!

First Day of Pre-K

Well on the second day, the report I got was that she was confident and outgoing.  So proud of her!   Here are first day pictures.  She liked that her hair looked like Jesse off Toy Story and had to take some pictures with her hat on.

Last quick Chickasha vacation with daddy

We decided to take a quick vacation in Chickasha in a hotel with a nice pool (Best Western).  Dayona loves to swim (of course she likes to jump off the edge and have us catch her), but she actually liked the hot tub the best. Jason has been working alot in Cox City, so much so that when we went to Jennifer's open house, she told another little girl while playing barbies that "thats the father he's working so he stays at the hotel.  Here of some pics of our girl!

putting on my make-up in the hotel.

Almost time for back to school

Jason has been working six ten hour days, and the heat has been the theme of our summer.  We've had over a month of over 100 degree temps.  Today, we visited Geary school.  Then Day went to see her Nana Smallwood.  She locked herself in the bathroom and painted her own toenails. She did a good job!  We also went and looked at a house today with Nana.  I think it made Dayona nervous about Nana's current house.  She asked who was going to move Nana's house and then later at Nana's house Day went and wrote a "J" on the door for Nana's room and she wrote her name on the Door to Nana and Papa's bedroom, because that's her room.

She painted them all by herself!!!

Dance pics

We didn't get a recital but we got some cute pictures.  This girl is too smart.  Today I heard her yell "momma get your butt in here" from the other room.  I walked up to her and said "what did you say?"  She said " I said mommy your pretty!  I'm in trouble!  She went to the library today and listened to a book.  I was so happy about how much she participated.  What a girl!
