The other day I straightened Anna's hair... AND HATED IT! Observe the awesomeness... actually, I really missed the curls. *cries* I'm glad that they're back! Woot! You can click to enlarge. Before & after pics of the curly and straight hair.

Pizza

Mmmm. Pizza. I wish Anna ate pizza. She HATES pizza! With a passion. There are days that I really miss pizza lol!

Potty Trained!!! (???)

I think Anna is potty trained officially! We were out all day today and she was in underwear! She didn't have an accident! In fact, she never has accidents (Seriously!). I'm anxious that this all went so smoothly that it's not so, but I'm fairly certain that she's potty trained! She basically trained herself for crying out loud. I'm not boasting. I'm actually pretty SHOCKED that it was so easy and I'm a little paranoid, too!

PS--Tillamook Yogurt is sooooooooooooooo good! It's like eating ICE CREAM it's so good!

When I said "I love you" to Anna, she used to say, "I, too." Later, I would tell her I loved her and she would say, "I, you." Lately she says, "I yuh you." =)

Photos of Anna

Paul took these photos and I edited them 6-22-09

Music

Just added music to the blog. Put it at the very top so that if you want to stop the music easily, you can. ;)

"Move it or lose it, Buster!"

"What???"

"Just a little coordination..."

Even Mama's dizzy...

Little Gymnast

And of course...

She took the hard way down! (She landed on her feet! But scared the crap out of Mommy & Daddy in the process.)

5 Year Anniversary

Today is our 5 Year Wedding Anniversary!

Bows!!!!

Pony Awesomeness

She's basically always climbing.

Climbing, of course.

The pony.

Doesn't she make a sweet little puppy dog?

Yes, she's panting like a dog.

Bows O' Awesomeness

She wouldn't let me try them on her while she was awake, so I put them on her while she was asleep! Muwahahaha....

Anna sporting her bows that I made. They're not that great, but hey... they're not terrible for a first timer with no directions haha. :)

As Promised...

Swimming pics! :)

Wordless Wednesday: 1 Year Later

I've finally remembered to do a WW post on a WEDNESDAY. Usually I remember somewhere on Thursday the following week! hahaha

Later today I'll be posting all of the swimming pictures of Paul and Anna. :) They had a great time in the pool while I shivered and snapped pics! hahahaha :)

Camping Pics

I spend a lot of time taking pictures of her curls! hehehe :)

These are in reverse order. We're LEAVING the beach in this photo ^ and she didn't want to leave! :(

Jumping in the air!

Running!

Self explanatory sand graffiti!

Sand! :)

I love this photo!

She only liked the s'mores if she dissected it. She didn't quite grasp the concept. Some day... some day! :)

Daddy and the fire! Gosh, he's cute! :)

Mmmmm S'MORES!

We camped on the Oregon beach. It was very chilly, very uncomfortable, but I think it was fun, too. :) We just barely missed the rain. It rained the day before we arrived and the day after. Go figure! Anna didn't quite care for camping. She woke up at around 11 crying and asking to go bye-bye car. Poor thing. :( Anna and I ran along the trails--literally and all three of us watched a presentation on gray whales. Very interesting animals. Anna fell asleep half-way through in our arms. We were so exhausted. I fell straight to sleep, but Paul didn't because his head was hurting from laying on the ground (Note to self: set up appt. with the doctor for Paul!!!!) We woke up cold and miserable, but I think that if we had more stuff to keep us less miserable (i.e. air mattress) that it would've been better. Maybe next year? :)
More pictures to come: Swimming, Tillamook Cheese Factory, and Messes! haha :)
