Fun at the Park with Eli

Monday night Marlee and her friend Elijah went to the park together and had a wonderful time. Marlee constantly wanted to know "What Eli doing next?" and "when Eli coming back?" whenever he would wander off. I'm an overprotective parent and just cant allow Marlee to climb all around the playground by herself. I'm scared to death shes going to fall off one of the openings or the platform. I know Marlee would rather me let her have free reign, but i just cant do it quite yet! Marlee and Mommy are going to be going to an Easter Egg Hunt this weekend with mommy's best friend "Jessca" and we cant wait!

Spring Time Fun!

It was such a beautiful weekend, so we decided to let Marlee play in her swimming pool. She loved the pool last year and may love it even more this year! She has gotten really brave and is practicing her "wimming" by laying on her stomach and kicking her feet! She is also putting her whole head in the water and laughing! She must be holding her breath because she never has coughed! I think we will try swimmies this summer and see how Miss Priss likes them! Oh and yes Marlee wears a bow in the pool! haha. She tells me to "Put my bow on!" all the time, but she normally wont keep it in for more than 10 minutes!

Disney World!

My mom, Kayla, Marlee and I had a FANTASTIC time at Disney World last weekend! My wild child 2 year old, was PERFECT and that doesn't happen very often! She loved meeting all of the characters and even stood in line for 2 hours to meet Mickey and Minnie! Minnie Mouse grabbed Marlee by the hand to walk her up the ramp after meeting them, but Marlee politely told her, "No, I want Mickey!" and ran back to grab Mickey's hand! I wish we could spend every day at Disney World, it was like being a child again! Enjoy this special video I made of Marlee's trip!

Fun at the Zoo

Mom, Kayla, Marlee and I spent our Valentine's afternoon at the zoo. Poor Marlee had been sick since Saturday, but was starting to feel better so we went ahead and went. She is definitely more interested in the zoo this year than last year. Her favorites were the "Monkeys" and "goats." She was very disappointed that the pig had already been put to bed when we got around to the petting zoo. I'm pretty sure that we will be buying a membership so Marlee can enjoy the zoo all spring and summer. Notice the 3 pictures of Kayla and Marlee, that is their "sassy face," "silly face," and "happy face!"

Fun Weekend

As most of you know, Marlee was in the hospital twice last week for a nasty stomach virus that she just couldn't get over. When Marlee was discharged on Wednesday, we told her that we would make this weekend all about her!

Lastnight we went to Hollywild Zoo with "Nana" and "kayla." She did not enjoy sitting in line for almost 2 hours, but did enjoy feeding the "reindeer!" She actually fell asleep while we were feeding the goats their bottles!

Every year our neighborhood has Santa come around and give out candy canes. Marlee waited not so patiently for Santa to come today and was very excited to finally see him! She went straight to him, but decided not to talk to him this time, but she thouroughly checked him out!

We are so thankful that Marlee is starting to feel better, even though she's still not 100%. She goes back to the doctor tomorrow for a hospital recheck and hopefully everything will check out fine! We are looking forward to next weekend and seeing what all Santa brings Miss Priss!

Meeting Santa...Again

I just love this picture. I didnt think that Marlee had changed that much since last Christmas, but I was definitely wrong! Last year Marlee wasnt too sure about Santa, so I made sure to talk up meeting Santa several weeks ahead this time. When we got to the mall, Marlee immediately starting yelling "Ho Ho...Santa!" She went straight to him this time. Santa asked Marlee, "What do you want for Christmas?" Without missing a beat Marlee said, " I want Jo Jo....a barney book...and Chuck!" Yes, my prissy little girl wants Chuck the Dump Truck for Christmas!

We put up our Christmas tree yesterday and marlee enjoyed pulling out all the ornaments and placing them on the tree. Actually she still is....she keeps pulling off an ornament, bringing it to me and saying "help mommy." I'm pretty sure this is going to get really old after a couple days!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a very good Thanksgiving this year. We went to my Aunt Bidney's for lunch and Marlee got to play with all of her cousins. We cant wait to see everyone again at Christmas!
