...my darling daughter, Kailyn and all her cuteness. Since starting school she has been getting so much better at her speech, she is speaking in complete, almost perfect sentences now. She still can't say her F's or L's very well but we're working on it.
...how Kailyn says Flip Flops. B/c she can't say her F's very well it comes out "shlip shlops". So stinkin' cute!
...my wonderful husband. He makes everything possible and is my absolute best friend. I wouldn't want to live this life without him. And he can still make me blush like you wouldn't believe. My love.
...my first cup of tea in the morning. There's just nothing quite like it.
...
Spring!! And everything about it, the blue skies, the sun shining, the flowers blooming, wearing t-shirts and flip flops. What I don't like: the allergies that come along with it. I haven't had allergies like this in a long time. Go Away!!
...
gardening. It's hard work and I don't like getting all sweaty and sticky and I am allergic to weeds but seeing the end result makes it all worth it. I love going outside and watering my plants and seeing how much they've grown. Yes, I do talk to my plants. Kailyn loves to help out too, she loves digging in and getting dirty, and she isn't a wuss, she'll pick up huge arm fulls of leaves and weeds and put them in her bucket. She's a tough cookie...most of the time. Oh, and she loves bugs. Ew.
...pictures. They. are. everywhere. In fact, I need more frames. I LOVE looking at photo's of all my friends and family. I have a million of Kailyn b/c she changes and grows so freakin' fast that I have to capture all her adorableness and display them, especially if I get a good one of her and my honey, they are my loves. :)
...a newly ajaxed sink. Yes, I know it's a weird one but I do, I love how nice and white it looks when I'm done scrubbing it. I just wish it would stay bright white for a while.
...when my hubby calls me all the time while working, just to say hi. I miss him bunches when he's not home.
...feeling like a kid again. We've been going to Pump It Up lately and it has been fantastic. I love seeing Kailyn so happy, bouncing and running her little heart out. But what makes it better is doing it with her, she gets the biggest kick out of it when she sees me or daddy climbing thru the tunnels behind her and being silly. Not only that but it's a great work out!
...hanging with friends. I don't get to do this as often as I would like but when I do, it's so refreshing. Especially if it's with one of my best friends I have known since I was 11. Oh boy, when we get together we revert back to our younger years and for that moment in time, it's absolute joy. All the giddiness, the bad, dirty jokes, the gossip...fantastic. There are just certain things that I can't or won't talk about with or around my husband. To be honest, it's pretty immature and I'm ok with that. Who wants to be a responsible adult
all the time? We have to let go every once in a while, right?
...Kailyn copying everything we do. Ok, so I may not
love this all the time but sometimes it's hilarious. I call her sweet pea, darling, sugar, sweetheart, baby, K, sweetums, honey, sweetness. Well, lately, she has been using these on me. If I am having a frustrating day, she'll pat me on the shoulder and say, "it's ok sweet pea, it's ok." Or she will say, "excuse me honey, can i get by?" you get the picture.
...Kailyn and Coda, "best pals". It's so cute seeing Kailyn and Coda, our white German Shepard, running around the house like crazy. They have their own games they play and she rides him like a horse all the time. He puts up with a lot more than I would if I were him, but he loves her to pieces. She drives cars all over his body, uses her Bullseye horse and gallops over him, she pokes him in the eyes and pulls his tail. Even while enduring all this, he has the biggest smile you have ever seen on a dog. Kailyn calls him her "best pal" and "best friend". Love it.
Well, that's all for now!
Have a great weekend everyone!
mother anybody could ever ask for and I am so thankful to have you as my mum and Kailyn's grandma. I hope I can be half the mum to Kailyn that you have been to me! Thank you for being there for me through all the tough times, the happy times and everything in between! I don't know what I would do without your guidance, your words of wisdom, or sometimes nothing at all, you just being there for me, no matter what, means the world to me. I want you to know how much I truly appreciate everything you do for me. I hope Kailyn grows up knowing that I, too, will be there for her, no matter what because she is my daughter, my heart, my life. I love you mum and I wish I could be with you on this Mother's Day!
The day my mum met my daughter, she was 5 weeks old.
