Hey Valentine!

On Monday Kayden-poo and I made Daddy brownies for love day.  =)  During that, we had a mini photo shoot ;-D.

"RAWRRRRR!" hahahaha!

"Whatchu laughin at?!"

"haha!  Yeah, you're right!  I am funny!"

"and cute!"

And then I turned around for two seconds and she was doing this!! Heyyyyy!!

Lil Snookums Wookums.

This face lights up my life.  She makes my day.

Last night after she got out of the bath.  She loves the bath!

Did lots of crafts today and went to the post office and Hobby Lobby with Kayden.  I truly think she loves to go into craft stores with my because there is so much to look at =).  But off to spend some quality time with the babes.  =D

Goodnight, sleep tight.  Xo.

SIX months old with super cute bows!

Alright!  Back in action! =)  I'm pretty proud that I've taken so many pictures this week ;-).  I also, look at these pictures, and die a little bit inside, because I am dyyyying to get a new camera.  Soon enough..soon enough.  (I guess, to me, it's not soon enough at all lol.)  Anyway, I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing me whine about a new camera...

First off.  This chick is cuuuuute: =)

*OK, a little intermission here.  Check out Kayden's bow.  Notice how it says KAYDEN?!  Notice how nothing says Kayden out there in the big bad world??  That's because I got it custom made!  That's right!  Custom!!  Where you ask?  Here! At Chloe Chic Bowtique!  Her name is Amy, and is seriously amazing!  You guys have got to check her out!  I'm seriously obsessed!  (Mom, if you're reading...Kayden just had her 6 month birthday ;-) )*

Here's the chickadee with another bow from CCB! ... I have one more that I haven't taken a picture of yet ... but soon to come!  (And I'm sure I will be ordering many more asap!)

 Smilin up at pops with a simultaneous lick from Doz. =)

Oh ok!  Flexible much?

One of my favorite things to do is watch/listen to Dominic and Kayden play!  She giiiiiiggles and he lauuuuughs.  It's so much fun to watch, and even if I'm in the other room, I can hear them and it instantly makes me smile!!

She loves to do this now.  Grab the spoon that is.  It 1. makes feeding super difficult, constantly trying to dodge each hand, hold the spoon, make it into her mouth before it closes back up, hold the bowl of mush, and usually be a shield to the dogs who want to eat the mush.  And 2. makes a disaster!  But what can ya do?  Nada.

Silly guy. =)

She loooves Mickey Mouse play house these days!  She'll sit there perfectly content (which is rare) for the longest time.  I get those songs stuck in my head so badly.  

SATURDAY WAS KAYDENS 6 MONTH BIRTHDAY!!!

I simply can't believe it!!

We were going to go to It'z (a place here that is food and games, kind of in between Chuck E Cheese and Dave and Busters) because we were just being silly.  We decided that will be fun and goofy (to have a 6 month birthday "birthday party") and invited her boyfriend Isaac.  (To all of you out there that are freaking out that we would throw a birthday party for 6 months, we were joking!  It's a place we like to eat, and a place that is kind of kid-ish, and her boyfriend was coming, thus, we decided to call it a birthday party. ;-) )  Anyway.  We didn't think about it being a Saturday afternoon and that there are a million kids out there with real birthday parties, and a million real, rambunctious, rowdy children friends.  Who woulda thunk?!  We drove up, looked in, said "ahhhh!!!"  and walked back out.  We went to Chili's instead. =)  Anywho, Kayden and her boyfriend and their first birthday dinner date.  (Yes, it is officially not a birthday party unless at It'z, it changes to a date since it was at Chili's. Don't tell Dominic ;-) )

Haha, I love her face.

We then hung out with G&G Conn.  =)

More of the adorable munckin with her adorable bows! 

HAHA!  I went to get her up from a nap the other day and the silly girl had bed-head!! =D  She barely has hair!!!  But she got bed-head and I was excited!!  I tried to hold her up to the light with one hand, and take a picture with the other hand.  She, however, was so excited and refreshed from her nap that she was flailing around and laughing, so I could barely get one.  This is the only one that turned out that kind of showed her silly bed-head.

Oh heyyyy you.

Aw how nice!  Dozer usually would rather not get yanked on.  But yesterday he was a patient good boy and let her do what she wanted, which was yank.  =)  And kind of pet him....kind of.

Welp.  That's the update.  Had a pretty mellow weekend.  Hung out all day on Saturday (lunch, Rio Rancho etc.)  and hung out at home for Super Bowl Sunday with Dominic's brothers.  He made food, I made Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins =).  Now it is back to the week -- which I think is just not as fun at all.  ;-)  It's been freeeeeeezing the past couple of weeks -- so no walks for us.  But I am REALLY trying to get us into the routine of walking (AT LEAST!! ugh, how else am I supposed to loose this stupid baby fat?!)  

Hmm..what else?!  Just trying to promote, promote, promote Krafts Galore! ... going a little slow right now.  Com'n peeps, help a sista out.  Order!!  You know you need some "Any Occasion" Greeting Cards, or a new Notebook! =)

T.G.I.F!

Thank Goodness Its Friday!!

This week has been a crazy one (I know I say that every time, but it really has.)  Thus, I have been slacking, hardcore, on this blog.  Any my apologies.  I will try to go overtime the rest of the month.  Anyway...here's some pictures.

Kayden and Daddy playing Wednesday night.  Right hand....

Left hand...

Gotcha! =D

She would be concentrating so hard on each hand and the Dominic would grab her cheekies and she would be soo surprised! =D

Just me and the pups cuddling up.  They're normally not allowed on the couch, but we give in sometimes because we know that they've been missing our 100% attention.  So sometimes, lat at night, after the tator tot has gone to sleep, we let them up to cuddle and watch Grey's Anatomy.  =)

I'm not sure if I have already posted these, but had to.  My gorgeous flowers Dominic got me last month.  We had our 3 year anniversary!

And the latest cell phone pics because I've been so busy and totally slacking on taking pictures on the "real camera" which is really the crap camera that is broken, but we are working on getting a REAL camera.  =)

Kayden was rolling around on the floor last week and rolled right up on top of Riley's paws.  Riley sat there looking up at us like this for a long time!  Until Kayden rolled back off...at least a couple mintues!! Good girl =).  "Ugh seriously, you guys are just going to leave her there?"  Yup!  And take a picture! ;-)

And the little cutie with gorgeous eyes with a toy in her mouth and one in her hand.  At one point she had her toy just hanging out of her mouth, and her hippo toy in the other hand too, so three toys, but I didn't get a picture fast enough.  She is so funny.

 Whew.  This week has been chaos I feel like.  I started work.  And finished work.  Haha.  I got a job at ABC Cakes and started on Monday.  Dominic took off the day so we could go daycare searching in the morning and he could stay home with her for my first day so I wouldn't freak out (which I did anyway.)  We went daycare searching and it was soo emotional.  Then I had to go straight to work so it was a rough day.  I worked the rest of the week and family and friends watched Kayden, while I also tried to figure out daycare assistance.  (You have to have a job, and a daycare, before you can go apply).  Well, turns out, they have lowered the income cut off so we do not qualify.  After all the math I would be making $6.00 a DAY!  Crappy!  And not worth it.  So I will be staying home with Kayden.  (I'm not going to argue!!! =D)  I have been working on my Krafts Galore! orders, which I loooove.  (If you are interested please email me at kraftsgalore@gmail.com Thank you!!) So that is good.  And I'm hoping that it will be a bit of extra unexpected income, hopefully pretty steadily (probably not, but trying to be optimistic.)  So that is why the past week has been blogless and pictureless.  Which I also dislike, so I am pleased to be able to be back at home and taking pictures and blogs and crafts and taking care of baby girl.  All of my favorite things!!  

I am brainstorming Valentine's Day ideas that fit into our budget...I'm stumped.  Kayden's SIX MONTH BIRTHDAY is on Saturday!!  I cannoooooot believe it!  So fast!  (I know I also say this all the time, buts its TRUE!)  I think we'll have to do something...pictures soon to come =)

Mickey Mouse Playhouse.

Just a quick one of the chickadee enjoying her morning of Mickey Mouse Playhouse.

I'm not sure if she was even interested in the show.  She mostly just was happy sitting up playing with her toys.  But I was excited that my big girl was sitting up hanging out. =)  She's done it a few times, but its still cool to me.  I'm not sure how I feel about the constant sound of silly music yet though (not that this is a new sound, at all.  It just seems to be getting more and more constant).

We've had a very busy couple of days with LOTS of errand running it feels like.  I'm not sure if I'm just loosing my lists, or my mind.  I was told I got a job this week!  I start on Monday.  Mixed feelings about that as well.  It will be good for our family but I am supppper sad to send her to day care, especially when she can't talk yet.  I really had my heart set on not doing that.  But we'll see how it goes.  One day at a time right?  =(.  Hopefully she'll make some friends (I say this as though she can talk =/).  Ey yi yi.  I don't know about that.  

Anyway.  It is Thursday.  Which means its almost Friday!  Whoo hoo!  My last weekend of stay at home Mommy.  I better soak it all in.

Mama Paparazzi!! Play date galore and more.

Kayden has a girl friend!  Yahoo! =)  And I have a new friend too.  My old roomate, Lorenzo, his cousin, Alicia, happens to have a baby girl, Adelynn, that is almost exactly a month younger than Kayden.  We somehow, had never met, but became friends on Facebook, (I love Facebook).  So we finally hung out yesterday and made tutus (I will put a pic up asap!).  =D 

I love this one of lil missy.

Here are the girls after our trip to hobby lobby.  Pooped!

A bunch of the girls! =)

I am so proud of my sitting big girl!

Sadly, she was a droooooolly mess.  But still cute.

Almost holding hands! =D

Hahaha!

Later gator!

Pretty Alicia and the girls.  I love this picture!

She finally caught the camera cord, after all that grabbing for it! ;-)

"This is my mean face!"  This still really isn't her mean face, this is her talking face haha.  Or more like her gurgling voice.

We got to have another play date!!  This past weekend Stephanie and Isaac came by and we got a few pictures but sadly not very many non-blurry ones =(.

This is her boyfriend ;-).

Haha, showing him her mirror! =) (It's a mirror on the other side of that green toy.)

 "Ohh, ya know, just hanging out."  Ahh!!  She's such a big girl!  =)/=(

Haha!!  Daddy is walking her feet on the ceiling, and she is cracking up!!

This was just a quick shot yesterday before our play date... she loooves her glitter shoes!

I fed her bananas for breakfast this morning.  =)

I am working on Kiddo Valentines Day Cards for a teacher friend for her kiddos today.

(Please feel freeee to orrrrrrrder something cool and fun from Krafts Galore! =) Click here to check it out! )

Hopefully we will all go on a walk tonight!

Have a great Tuesday peeps!
