Mid-End of February Post...

2 weeks, 2 weeks and we will be in Disney World, I can't wait!!! 

Not too much to really post about but here are some recent pics of Miss Landrie I took around the house. She is getting way too BIG!!!

After work one day I decided to try and get some new pics of Landrie, we were just playing around in my bedroom, got some pretty cute ones I thought... Can't wait for warmer weather, I do so much better outside using natural light...





So sweet



Love her little piggies


Thought this one of her fingers was sweet




She was spinning and singing




Playing outside in her pajamas and wild unbrushed hair

So pretty





Cracking up at Mommy




One day when my parents were out of town and Cory was off with her he took her to she one of our best family friend's horse. Her name is Sweetie, Landrie loved her! Thanks "Aunt Cinsee" (as Landrie use to say her name) for letting Landrie come by and ride Sweetie, she can't wait to come back and do it again. 

(yes, can you tell Daddy let Landrie fix her own hair? lol)

January/Beginning of February Post...

I know, I said I was going to do better and I haven't. I am really trying, but it's been hard. I feel like we are just constantly busy doing something and so this gets put on the back burner and I hate it. But at least I am still blogging here and there. Right now Landrie has the flu yet again, 3rd year in a row she has gotten a shot or flu mist and has gotten the flu. I just keep telling myself that the shot/flu mist is keeping her from it being so bad and having all the dreaded flu symptoms. So far she has only had the high fevers, 104 Friday morning at 3:30 AM!!! Oh and she will say her head hurts when she coughs or bends over which makes sense, I remember when I had it my whole body hurt, but mainly my head. Even with alternating Motrin and Tylenol every 3 hours her fever doesn't get below 101 for very long but she is such a good sick kid. As long as her temp is below 102 she plays and acts somewhat normal but as soon as it hits that 102 mark she is whiny and clingy, can't say I blame her. I just hope and pray we don't get it, I got a flu shot back in October but this year it doesn't mean anything. But then again if we are going to get it I want us all to get it now instead of next month, I don't want anything to ruin our trip to Disney World. I can't believe it's only 5 weeks away!!! We are all getting so excited, especially Landrie. It is going to be so much fun to see it all through her eyes. I can't wait!!!

Here are some pics taken over the last month and a half...

We went and saw my grandpa and my aunt with my parents right after Christmas, Landrie had a blast at my grandpa's girlfriend, Betsy's house.  It's right off the lake and she had a piano you could set to play by itself, she LOVED it. My dad and her played for the longest time on it.

She can sure work that mouse
"Hollywood" in her shades
Making all kinds of silly faces at the camera


Such a poser
Trying to do the "hook em' horns" sign

My latest obsession... making "bling" converse, I love making them, they make the best birthday gifts



Funny sayings from Landrie...

We were in Target the other day and our conversation went like this...

L: Mommy my bobo hurts

M: Okay well we will go to the bathroom in just a minute and fix it

L: NOT WITH A SCREW DRIVER AND BATTERIES!!!

I died laughing, she is right though, just about every time something needs to be fixed we need a screw driver and batteries. lol

Christmas Day...

Landrie woke up about 8:00 am on Christmas morning all excited to see what Santa brought her overnight. Of course he brought her a "banity" (aka vanity) just like she asked for but apparently he didn't bring her the exact one she wanted.  Yes Gina and Tonia, she DID notice, you both assured me she wouldn't and not to worry about it. LOL I should have known she would be just like her Mommy, detail oriented and notice anything different or out of place. :) But it makes for a cute/funny memory and video. She still likes it a lot though, the princesses appear in the mirror and talk to her when she picks the right accessory from the vanity. But she loves looking in the mirror posing and primping. She also got a Polly Pocket Limo set, a boom box and Sugarland C.D. from Santa. Santa was very good to her this year, guess she was a good girl. Oh and for my friends who know the joke... no broken toys. LOL Her favorite things from Mommy and Daddy were the Leapster with a Princess game and Wall-E game she really enjoys playing with that. Other favorites were her princess crown earrings, princess jewelry box, Taylor Swift guitar picks, light up Cinderella dress with matching light up "glass slippers" and LOTS of other things. I got a backpack bag for my camera which will come in handy for Disney World in March (can't wait for that!!!), Leona Lewis C.D. which Landrie keeps stealing and wanting played in her room in her boombox, a COOL crockpot from Landrie that has a timer that I can set and after the time is up it automatically goes to warm and keeps the food warm for up to 14 hours!!! I also got the bracelet I have been wanting for a while, it's a silver charm bracelet with a picture of Landrie on it. I will take a picture of it and post it later. I love it though. Cory got a remote control Hummer from Landrie, some fishing Oakley sunglasses and a gift card to Bass Pro to help him buy a new trolling motor. We had a great family Christmas.

After we were done opening our gifts we got ready and went and picked up my niece and headed over to my parents to do Christmas with them. We had a great lunch, ate waaaay too much, but that's what the holidays are for and about. Then we all sat down and finally opened gifts, Landrie was about to bust waiting to open the gifts. I am sure to her it seemed like forever before we opened gifts but in reality it was only like an hour to an hour and a half from the time we got there, ate and sat down to open gifts. But I remember being that age and hardly being able to wait to open gifts. That's part of it being Christmas and being a kid, it's so exciting. Landrie definitely scored big time with my parents as well. She had so many gifts to open, there was so much paper all around her it was crazy. She had so much fun opening her gifts and then playing with them and trying things on. These last 4 Christmas' have been so much more fun with her in our lives, I can't wait to see the joy and excitement on her face each year. Hope everyone had a great and wonderful Christmas with their family. I also wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year!
