This girl

Giulietta amazes me daily.
She's beautiful, compassionate, and intelligent.

Last night when I inquired about a self-portrait she painted at school she informed me that she made her head shaped like an oval, her eyes like circles, her nose like a triangle & her mouth like a half moon.

I was soooo impressed and thankful for what she is soaking up from school, home, and our everyday outings.

Boy, am I counting down the days until I get to feast my eyes on her masterpiece.

79 degrees in winter

When it's 79 degrees on a Winter day, us girls think it's the perfect time to enjoy a little Yogurtland!

Cheerios

This morning at breakfast Pella was getting a little bit restless! So, I decided to throw some Cheerios at her in order to help her pass the time!

I know exactly what you're thinking! "Katie would be pissed if anyone else was teaching her kids how to throw food!" And, you're right, i would be! But...I'm the Momma, Presley's giggles were ridiculously cute, and I managed to get a Cheerio to stick to her head!

Her first high speed ride

Presley has been going to theme parks since before she was born. She's been on the train more times then I can count, jumped in the inflatable bouncer with kids three or four times her size, and enjoyed the sounds, colors and movement of the easy going rides at Disneyland.

I figured with her 14 month birthday quickly approaching, it was about time she went on her first high speed ride. So, while at Knott's on Sunday we gave it try. Presley stood in line patiently with her older sister, walked up to her little race car and climbed in with me to follow, and looked nervously around once our seal belts were fastened. Once the ride started her face was beaming with a huge smile, and her giggles were uncontrollable. I think the Peanut's Race Cars at Knott's are going to be a must ride with both the girls from now on.
