A while back I had a friend who was thinking of moving this way ask if we had any graffiti in our neighborhood. I laughed, and replied with an "of course not!".

I now eat those words. My own daughter the culprit.

But, hey! She's got her name down!

Food Storage

Use #728: Stage for a puppet show

Ouch!

According to Paislee, Mom has Boo-Boobs.

Huh.

She says to me...

"HOWDY!"

start 'em off young

Somewhat obsessed

with Uncle Jer,

and having the same hair!

Pretty in Pink

Paislee is officially learning how to shake her booty,

And looking so cute doing it!

Guess who turned 2?

Our Princess turned 2 today...

When turning 2 it is essential to wear a tutu and a crown.

Just in case there aren't enough cupcakes {there were}, make an extra one for the birthday girl.

Don't let the candles get you flustered - if you forget to blow there will be several "helpers" puffing from across the table.

And, hey, its your day - no worries, just enjoy!
Yep, that's 2!

Good Bye Mullet!

Paislee had her 1st haircut last week!
She was an angel and sat perfectly still the WHOLE time!

All smiles this time....

a little different than the first two!

mom's helper

Worcestershire sauce anyone?

growing up

Paislee has hit a few milestones lately!

♥she's talking lots more. she loves to call peoples names over and over til she gets their complete attention. But her very favorite word {making up 99.9% of things she says} - NO! It doesn't get boring though, she has quite the variety of ways to say it and thinks/knows she's pretty cute doing it.

♥she has followed in Luke's footsteps with an obsession for shoes {another new word}. Only the shoes she chooses to obsess over most of the time are these super cute white church shoes that pretty much look hideous with anything BUT her Easter dress!

♥she is stubborn and feisty! We have to pick our battles around here, proof being that she has worn these shoes several times in public much to my chagrin.

♥she is very independent. she can often be found wondering the house by herself with her own little agenda. last week she took all the letter magnets off the fridge, put them in paper cups and hid them behind the couch cushions, I am still trying to figure that one out.

♥ and {last the best of all the game} she is totally into cartoons/tv/movies! Yippee for me! I can sit her on my bed, turn on Noggin, and then get in the shower/change the laundry/check my email/whatever and come back to Paislee still on the bed, cute as can be with NO messes!

Love you Paizers!

Dancin' fool!

I had some major cleaning to do today.

I find I get much more done if I there is music blaring.

I was doing my thing and then found Paislee was doing hers.

This girl loves to dance {today it was mostly spinning},

and I love to watch her. ENJOY!

Don't get the wrong idea...

I tried to clean my house today...you know how it goes - I clean the kitchen, Luke and Paiz destroy the hall closet, I clean the hall closet - they destroy their rooms...{i could go on}

Paislee found this in her quest to empty my dresser drawers -pretty, shiny, sparkly - must be a dress up! She thought she was so grown up!{if she only knew!}

Pretty sure this is a 1st for said "dress" {can you say SEE THROUGH?!?} but hey, belated thanks to Aja for the awesome shower gift, 8 1/2 years later!

pigtails, bruises and a new word

We are LOVING the piggers!

Not the yucky bruise/bump so much!

Oh, and good news - Paislee added another word to her vocab yesterday....DUDE! {go figure!}

Fixin' it!

I am sure that I have mentioned many times that my husband is not exactly the kind you call handy.

Most times he is guilty of breaking instead of fixing things.

But Saturday was one of those time I stand corrected...

he was off to Home Depot early with a list of things to be done and quickly got going on his many projects for the day. I am happy to report that the tile in our bathroom looks complete, the walls are somewhat back to normal {don't ask} and my car is parked inside the garage!

The best part of all was his little helper, she ran to get her{Luke's} tools when she saw dad with his...I would hear Mike go BANG BANG BANG which was quickly followed by a TAP TAP TAP by Paislee!
And as soon as I got the camera out she thought it was time for a photo shoot...so I thought I would share a couple.

Happy 100th post!

I scream for ice cream {cones}

This girl is NOT really an ice cream fan

UNLESSS...

it has a cone and SHE is holding it!

And then... I DARE you to TRY and take it away!

HaPPy WeeKeND!

She's got it down!

I was told that I needed some video on my blog by one of Mike's friends the other day. Here is my first attempt, there is no sound on my camara, but no need in this instance! Just sit back and watch her wobble around!

Dress-up!

Sunday, after GC, we were all hanging out on the stairs (I know, kinda random) trying to decide whether we wanted to take a Sunday walk or a Sunday drive and out walks miss paislee with a few things on from adi's dress-up bin.

And once she realized she had the spotlight - she put on a show, playing peek-a-boo for us!

Gotta love the personality this girls got already!

Full frontal view!

Paislee - our almost 20lbs (18lbs 9oz) little peanut - took her first ride facing forward today. Not too eventful, I think she was a little confused at first, then found her shoes and got a little carried away trying to eat them...maybe we'll do some more cruisin' later on tonight and ditch the shoes!

No more luck on walking, her siblings are way too anxious to "help" each time we try and get her to walk :)

Paislee is ONE!

A few things we love about Paislee:

• you wave each time we leave the house
• you growl when you aren't being fed fast enough
• you give the best kisses {mmmmmah!}
• you are facinated with hair and love to play with mom and adi's when we hold you
• you always put your face in the bubbles while in the tub so you look like an old man with a beard
• you have a smile for everyone - some family members even call you "smiley"
• you give real, squeezing, snuggly, cuddly hugs to just about anyone
• you have BIG beautiful eyes {still mostly blue}
• you bring so much happiness to our family

We love you Paislee and are so glad to have such a cute one year old as part of our family! Happy birthday, princess!
