Mommy and Daughter Day at Dollywood

What a great day this was!!

On Saturday morning I woke up and Casey was here I said "Let's go to Dollywood!" She told me mom won't let me. It ended up being that Mom would not let her go so I said I am going anyway! James had to work the whole day so I did not want to stay in all day when we could get out and do something. So we loaded up and went just Shaley and I. It is nice to get a Mommy and Daughter day! I know I stay home with her all day everyday until work at night but it is very different when you actually get out of the house and do something fun. We got there around 1 and stayed until around 5. We had a blast just the 2 of us! We rode on the ducks, Carousel, and a big train... It doesn't seem like we did much but we definitely stayed busy with the park. I can't wait to go back with James next time as a family. Here are some pictures of our day...

This is right when we got there, Shaley was so amazed as to how much was going on

She got to rid a Duck Ride, I rode in the back seat with her

What a face

Waiting to get on the carousel

I took her on a Carousel and she got to ride one of the horses like a big girl

I love this picture even though she is not smiling

I told her to hold on

This cracks me up!

We went on the big train ride they have around the Smokey Mountains but had to wait before getting on so Shaley took a break to eat a banana

I had to take this picture because she stuffed a big bite of banana in her mouth and her cheek puffed out

Us on the train

I asked her something about what she was looking at and she said I dunno

The train put her to sleep

We went to a show and she sat there and looked at the map letting me know where she wanted to go next

Eating Lunch and being a goof ball


At the end of the day she had to show off what mommy let her get, it was a monkey with a sucker



Being with my baby girl all day was a great way to spend my day! I love being a mommy and every new thing I do with her is so worth making my life so much better!

Typical Day

Shaley does the same thing every morning when she gets up. I love that I know how my morning is going to go due to what she watches on tv once she's up. Her 3 favorite shows that she watches are Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Imagination Movers . These are the only 3 shows she will actually sit through. I find myself through out the day singing songs from these shows.

I am posting a video in here of Shaley waving and saying hi to Mickey Mouse... If you listen to the video Mickey will say Hi-Ya Friends and than you will see what Shaley does...Very Cute!




I have a few other pictures I would like to share with you... These are a couple pictures of how she keeps herself busy in her carseat..

Laughing

Waving

And than there's the one where she has to make sure her feet don't stink :) Crazy Child!

Diamondbacks and Wranglers

I had to show everyone how I dressed my daughter today... Her Aunt Nicole sent her a diamondbacks jersey for her birthday and than a guy from work brought a pair of wranglers for Shaley. Now since I used to be this big redneck and wore wranglers and boots I thought it was so awesome for her to have her first pair of wranglers. I am a huge diamondbacks fan so I was so excited to see the jersey! Here are a couple pictures of her from today!







And of course she had to add the purse to the pictures. She is such a girly girl!

Museum

Today we took Shaley to the Children's Museum in Chattanooga. I think it was still a little to soon for things like that for her. We were worried at first because she wasn't wanting to do anything but be with us. There was alot of people there and tons of stuff to do. Finally she did start to warm up to everything and wanted to play. They had a cute play area for toddlers that she just loved. James and I loved it too and would love to do her room like that. We took some good pictures for ideas :)

Her favorite room of all was the music room... She had a blast in there. As everyone should know she loves music! So of course it would be her favorite.

After we got done with the museum we went down by the river. I made lunch for us last night to eat while we were down there so it was very nice to have a family lunch down by the river. Shaley had a rough day with her going potty (poo poo) like she has since she was born and is on medicine for it but today was a very rough day with all of it. It just kills James and I to see her that way. I cry along with her most of the time because she is in so much pain so today was hard. At the end of the day though everything was worth what we did even with the baby not feeling good. It is so nice to have family days where it is just the 3 of us together.

Watching the Boat

Hi Mom!

Unloading after getting back... James was saying wait wait I gotta take a picture of you actually working :)

Boom Boom Pow

I forgot about what she did the other day... I have to tell you about it as well. Her favorite song right now is Boom Boom Pow from the Black Eyed Peas. When we get in the car I always turn the music up for her and she just dances. Well knowing that is her favorite song it came on while we were driving so I turned around to see if she noticed it was on and she didn't. She was just looking out the window so I turned it up a little more and she screamed "Boom Boom!" She was so excited her song was on... I loved it!

Here a couple videos of her dancing to it.. The funniest thing I have ever seen! My daughter is the best :)

Belly Button and Money

Shaley started showing us her belly button. We never have to work with her for more than 3 days. She is very smart and learns very well. I am posting a video from her showing me her belly button and am also going to post a picture of her with a dollar... it is kinda blurry but it was the funniest thing. James and I bet last night about something and I never pay up but I actually did and he won a dollar from me, well Shaley found it today picked it up and laughed saying "this,this" "yea" It was the cutest thing!

Alexis is Here!!

Yay Alexis made it! She was born on July 25th, 2009 at 11:39 pm... She was 6 pounds 13 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. Poor mommy was in labor for over 24 hours. I am proud of her though! They made such a beautiful little girl! I have posted a couple pics because I am so proud!

Proud Mommy-She looks great just after having a baby and going through a long labor!
