May 31st

My mom took Lorelei shopping for my birthday! She was so excited she picked out an outfit and a cake for me.
I am loved.
oh, and i got to sit on the couch and watch cheesy reality shows.
And The Voice!!

May 30th

An extra day off work!
A trip to Target with a stop at Starbucks. The girl said Lo reminds her of Suri Cruise. Haven't heard that in awhile, but still get it a lot. Both Suri and Lorelei remind me of Amy!
Closet organizing. Backyard playing. Hanging with the grandparents.
Love this day.

May 29th

It rained last night! It was so windy out today that we stayed inside almost all day.
Meemaw Barbara came down and played with us. We ate chips, salsa, and guacamole. So yummy. We played Wii Fit and Wii Dance. Then we went and had sushi.
Lorelei was so great in the restaurant and used chopsticks to eat the cabbage salad. She also chowed down on some edamame. She was super polite too. I love her to pieces.
We came home and Peepaw was cooking in the backyard and Lorelei went out to play with him. They did some sidewalk chalk-ing and cuddled up in front of the fire. She loves her grandparents. She is a lucky, lucky girl!!!
Love. Love. Love.

May 28th

Ahhhh, the start of a three day weekend. We spent the morning outside playing in the 'pool' which is a really cool blow-up pool.
We are trying potty training since she peed outside while she was naked. Cross our fingers.
A nice relaxing day playing outside while Meemaw and Peepaw worked in the backyard. Lorelei was so tired she fell asleep at 5:30.
We then ate dinner and watched Avatar. It was good.
Love days like this.

May 27th

On a walk with Lo. Loving all the flowers.


May 26th

Lorelei's new thing is sitting with my dad in his chair for dinner. It is super sweet and cute. I love watching them interact. Well, really, I love watching everyone in the family interact with Lorelei. It is just so sweet.
I've been slacking a little on the blog but I have been pretty tired lately. I love doing this and hope to get better and a little more focused. I know how much we will enjoy reading this later in life. And it truly makes me happy to write all my happy thoughts at the end of the night. It is making a big difference in my happiness.
Love

May 23rd

Sleeping a lot.
Lorelei puts a pillow on the ground and stands on it and sings into her little microphone, like the pillow is a stage. She throws her arms in the air when the song is over and says, "nice job."
Lorelei also says bless you after someone sneezes. She will yell it from the other room. Seriously love her.

May 22nd

Another lazy day at home. Always a plus in my book. Started our morning by making frozen chocolate covered bananas, for later. Lorelei got to cut the banana's while I melted the chocolate then we covered them.
Lorelei was cracking me up all day with her silly sayings. Apparently, she thinks it is funny when her farts stink and I say so. A lot of other silly little moments got me today too. She is just so goofy.
It is only 6:30 and I feel like it is bed time...

May 21st

Painting my dresser with Lorelei. She is talking amazingly, and understanding so many things. It is getting to be so enjoyable to do things with her.
She starting playing a little to rough around nap time and I told her to get in her bed and she actually did and laid herself down and said, "Mommy, does this make you happy?" I said yes, and she fell asleep. Just like that.
Wow, once in a lifetime experience there.

May 20th

Cute pictures of the daycare kids.
Lorelei said, "I'm not funny, I'm gorgeous." Oh my. Really?
Lorelei cuddles. She fell asleep in my bed at 6 (didn't nap during the day), she fell out and climbed in hers. She slept another 30 minutes in there. Took her forever to fall asleep again but we got to lay in bed and cuddle.

May 18th

I have been seriously slacking off here. Not that I haven't been smiling everyday but things are a little hectic and testy with this little two year old :)
She is funnier than ever though. She ate dinner in the chair with her P-paw. She loves him so much. It is so sweet to see.
This morning when she woke up this morning she said, "peoples broke my dream. And Luci took my toys away and then she didn't take my toys away. And I was sooo happy to see Luci again. And Hannah, and Hannah, and Hannah, and her. Hannah is my best friend in the whole wide world."
Is there anything better?


P.S. Lorelei just tooted in her sleep. he he.

May 12th and 13th

Blogger was down all day yesterday and today. At the moment I am relaxing and enjoying a nice cup of tea while Lorelei watches 'the dinosaur movie' or The Land Before Time. Before hand she was telling me to sleep and then saying, "hellooooo" then wanted to watch the movie so it must be a scene from the movie. She is my little actress. It is crazy how much she remembers and how much of the inflections she gets right.
I finally got my invite to pinterest.com and I am so excited to start collecting all my little gems and ideas in one place! molosmiles!

May 11th

Lorelei has TOO much energy. I took her across the street to play. We ran, we played, we slid down the slide.
She was still full of life when we got home! She tried giving me some of her energy. Arms stretched out making funny sounds. It didn't work. :)  Bed time...awwww.

Waking up to Lorelei calling saying, "Happy mother's day for you, mama."
Love her.
The container store and the most perfect latte. Thank you Blue Bottle.
Great deals at the Gap Outlet.

Lorelei actually having a conversation with Aunt MiMi on the phone about sharing strawberries with her.
Sleeping in my own bed.

May 7th

Sleeping in until 8. Yes, that is sleeping in for me.
Hanging out with Amy in San Francisco. A delicious breakfast at Plow. So good. "legs and eggs", french toast, and a fresh doughnut.
Walking around downtown and carefully choosing the best knobs for my dresser. I love Anthropologie! They had a replica of the golden gate bridge made out of rice-a-roni. :)
Meeting new people.
Talking to Lorelei on the phone.

May 5th

"So, the black swan mowed somebody's carpet?"
Lorelei fell asleep on the floor next to her bed. Why? I don't know.






The picture is from the 30th but I just got it today and it made me smile, for sure. I love her.









I got to spend time with Shena and Jillien today. Love those girls.

May 4th

Lots of laughs today.
Lo and I played outside on this hot day. We attempted to plant some tomatoes and sunflowers. And we played with bubbles. The bubbles lasted forever! They stuck on the grass. They were so strange!

May 3rd

Lorelei was cracking me up today! She wanted to go with me to the store but she had to say bye to all her friends first, all on her own doing. It was so sweet seeing her go to each one, say bye, and give them a hug. At the store she didn't want to get in the cart and I let her walk as long as she stayed close to me. She would see all the bright colors and toys and say, "mommy, look at this" and I would tell her, "we don't need that" Then Lorelei said, "We don't need that, nope, nope, nope." and keep walking. Love it.
Then I bought some Tapatio flavored doritos and I gave her one. Lo was taking small bites and I asked her if they were spicy, and she said "No, they are yummy." Later, I tried to give one to my brother and she said "No, they are spicy to Jeffrey."










After that, she put on my shoes and walked down the hall saying, "Fee Fi Fo Fum." Like the giant. Ahhh, I love her.

April 28th - May 2nd

I slacked off a little. I will try to post pictures later.
We got to see a lot of family this weekend. It is always nice!
Zoo with Tiffany and Hannah on Saturday morning, then Vanessa's baby shower Saturday afternoon. Tacos for dinner with Meemaw. A relaxing Sunday morning at Novo for a delicious breakfast. Coffee, eclairs, chilequiles, crab benedict, and bacon for Lo. So delish. A walk around downtown SLO and then Hannah came over to play. Monday, back to our regular routine.
