I Tell You...This Girl Has No Fear!

Yesterday, I picked Faith up from MDO. I had to run by the store and grab a few things. We got home, I carried in all the groceries, then Faith. She walked in, and grabbed a small pillow that hangs over a door knob and is beaded. She loves to carry this around like a purse over her shoulder. Well, she broke it, and the beads went everywhere!!

I still had milk sitting on the counter...but I had to stop and clean up beads! The joys of motherhood!

Faith thought it would be fun to grab the beads and put them in her mouth... so I found myself chasing her to get the beads out of her mouth instead of cleaning them! (Can't you picture this?)

I decided to put her in her crib for a few minutes while I vaccumed them up...milk still on the counter!

I got about 1 minute into vaccuming...and turned around to find Faith standing behind me!! Yes, she got out!!! I can't believe at 16 months she climbed out of her crib!! It is no longer a safe haven, and is now dangerous if she is playing in there! I have no desire to make it into a toddler bed either! When she is tired, she doesn't try to climb out, but if she is in her crib for anyother reason than sleep...she throws that leg over and is climbing out!

She definately keeps me on my toes!!

The Girls

Well, last week was our first time to pick Alissa up from school....Faith couldn't wait, and noticed her immediately when she walked out of the school doors! She loves her cousin, and calls her "liss." We came home, and I took the girls to the park for some fresh air and fun!

For those of you who know Faith well...you know that she is a crazy dare-devil and has NO fear! She loves to swing as high as she can, and the slides....wow....she slides down backwards, headfirst, and loves it! She absolutely has no fear!!

Enjoy these pictures!

Christmas Morning ~ 2008

Christmas morning was a bit more fun this year than last! Santa visited Faith for the 1st time! He left a very cute pink retro kitchen complete with pots and pans! There was also a stocking filled with books, a bottle for her baby, and a stuffed Reindeer! She loved it all!

Mommy and Daddy had a strange idea that santa would leave a kitchen, so they bought some wooden food, and an adorable shopping cart to help her shop for cooking! I think the shopping cart quickly became one of her favorite toys! There is nothing she doesn't put in there and push around the house!

Lots of presents from Santa and Mommy and Daddy

Lacy always has to stick her nose in things! What a good dog!

Fun ball bouncer toy - I love this thing!

I know just what to do!

Look what Santa left behind

The Gaylord Texan - 2008

We took Faith to The Gaylord Texan before Christmas. We had plans of going one Friday, and my mom called and said her and Mike were in town and wanted to meet us at the Gaylord - well...we were already heading there! So, they joined us for a short while. We went through the Ice Sculptures which was neat to see again. It will be more fun when Faith can go down the slide! And, wear a jacket so I don't have to carry her through it! Next year!
Joel, Faith and I stayed and ate dinner there, and walked around looking at lights, etc. Faith had her picture taken with Mrs. Clause and got to pet the real Reindeer!!

COLD Ice
