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.

Christmas 2008

I had alot of fun this Christmas. I was so excited about my gifts this year. I love presents. I was such a good girl that Santa brought me a kitchen. I did a good job sharing my toys. Here are some highlights, fyi there are alot of pictures.

On Christmas eve I went out to eat at Applebees. The waiter actually commented on how well behaved I was!

My new "car"!

Santa even brought me a present in person!

Ohhh a baby!

This package was from Santa. "Ohh Look!"

A kitchen!

The first visitor to my new kitchen was my cousin Jay. I made her some lunch!

One of my favorite gifts was my barney doll! I love to sing the I Love You, You Love Me song!

I had a very good Christmas, but I also know that the whole reason we celebrate Christmas is because it's Jesus's Happy Day. This was my second Christmas and every year it gets better and better! I am getting bigger and learning new things. This year I have learned how to share, say "thank you", "your welcome" , "excuse me", and "please."I think Santa would appreciate all those things, even if I say "open please" when I find a present! I loved my babies, barney, clothes, crayolas, well all my gifts, but I mostly loved spending time with all the people that I love. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas!

Flashback Friday

This post goes back to when I first sang at the Oklahoma Opry. The first picture was when I was younger standing on the opry steps. I started singing their when I was about seven years old. The second picture is when I sang their a couple of weeks ago for there Christmas show. The third picture is of Day dancing on the stage. I love singing at the opry, especially singing with a live band. It is a lot of fun!
