Jackpot

3 Dec

I’m pretty sure I won the lottery of life.  I get to share my days with the funniest, cutest, most sincere and enjoyable people I know.  I get to love them and they love me back.  Life is not always easy, but it is always good.  I am one blessed, blessed little momma.

 

Have you ever…..

3 Nov

wanted dimples?  Well, apparently, according to ask.metafilter.com and my daughter’s new little mark of beauty, you can give yourself one without a doctor or goofy cheek piercing.

While we were in Panama, Kyah and Big Daddy were playing with a pillow.  A little something like this video, except on a slick hotel floor with a big wooden door. Incredibly, she didn’t even cry much.

So, after the cheek-sized bruise subsided, I began noticing this adorable dimple, quite large might I add, whenever she smiles, chews, or laughs.  I began questioning my vision.  How had I never noticed this before?  I’ve taken 10,000 pictures of my baby, but never seen this?  I looked through pics from a few weeks prior and it definitely was not there.  While talking to my momma on the phone I mentioned this new dimple.  My little nephew has the cutest dimples, but he’s had them since birth.  Why did her’s just show up?  So, my mom, in all her infinite wisdom and googling skills informed me that bruises, when deep enough, can in fact turn into a dimple.  Something about damaging the cheek muscle which causes it to pucker.

It is reversible…with plastic surgery.  I think we’ll just opt for the new addition to her sweet little face.

…is crazy!  We live only a few miles from one of the coolest waterfalls I’ve ever seen in person.  Sure, Niagara Falls might have us beat, but you can’t swim in the Falls.

We can climb up to three different pools of water to either swim, slide, or jump.  The entire thing is probably 20-30 meters high.  It’s a fun place to hang out as a family and just enjoy God’s creation.

The bigger the better

2 Sep

Many people believe this to be true.  The bigger house the better.  The bigger salary the better.  The bigger your son is the better.  The bigger church the better. Chicken fried steak?  I like mine plate sized.  This saying had me thinking about birthdays.  I turned 30.  I’m okay with it.  I feel a little sexier at 30.  Don’t judge me.  I’ve had many friends tell me that 30 is where it all gets started and I think I might believe them.  An old friend from high school wrote on my FB wall and said “You’re not just a year older, you’re a year better.”  I am choosing to believe it.  It’s been a great 30 years and I am excited about the next phase in my life. I was able to celebrate with my parents and felt the love big time from all my friends back home.  A special shout out to my sweet friend Kelly for making me feel so special and all the ladies at GP for your overwhelming love.  Love you friends!   Cheers to the next 30.

Cards and gifts from the sweet ladies at GP. Love them!

Waiting on Gigi and Papa at the airport. She wanted to make a silly face. I love my girl.

These wild horses come in our yard and eat our banana trees. They came just as I was opening my gifts. =)

Operation Easter

8 Jun
Easter 2011
Costa Rica does not have white eggs…at least not at the places we buy groceries.  Luckily, we came across a store with white eggs sold by the dozen and a fourth.  It’s still weird to me that eggs are sold in packages of 15.  I can’t wait until my very own chickens start popping out eggs.  It’s going to be a whole new adventure. Here’s a little peek at our first Easter in Costa Rica.
Easter egg time! Wootie-woot!

Dance break between each egg. I love this girl!

Ready to hunt and she insisted that she hide them first. Big Daddy and I were instructed to go close our eyes.

We went out in the yard and "found" the Easter eggs rather quickly. We let Big Daddy hide them next and she quickly got the hang of it after that.

Best hiding place ever.
