Little Miss Independent!

When do you ever get over how quickly your kids grow up? Milestones are a big part of life, and this milestone is probably the biggest of her life yet. I thought walking and talking were a big one, but when the child has an understanding of what is happening, it seems to be an even BIGGER milestone because you see and understand that they aren't the little baby you gave birth to anymore. They are now INDEPENDENT and excited about it!

Alexa is, at the moment, at her first day of preschool. She has been talking about this day for the past 3 months, from the first day we went and checked out the preschool. Talking about how she is going to "highschool" (I was really nervous about her saying that! lol NOT YET!) and telling everyone that when she goes, she will never see them again.

Last night she was giving everyone hugs and kisses, saying her "final" good byes and letting myself and great grandma Joan know that we couldn't stay at school with her. Ok, this kid really is independant, and shouldn't be this excited to go to school, should she?

This morning she wanted her backpack on immediately and was rearing to get going. All the way to the preschool she couldn't stop asking when we would be there. She walked right on in the front door, put her apple with her name on it in the attendance chart and said, "ok mom, now you have to go home. I will see you later. If you need me call me, for anything" Ahhhhh.....children!

Way TOO LONG!

 

 

Well it has been almost a year, maybe more since I have updated my blog, and those of you who used to watch it religiously (you know who you are!) have probably moved onto bigger and better blogs! But hopefully this post will inspire you to keep checking back for random updates!

Ok, so I guess I should fill you in on our life over the past year. Alexa is 2 and ¾ and is going to turn three "when the snow is on the ground, and someone comes to my birthday" according to her. She is probably the smartest and most hilarious kid in the world, and I am not just being a bias mother either. You can ask anyone who comes into her life, she amazes people with her quick wit and hilarious innuendos. She loves most things that 2 year olds like, like Dora and going to the park and colouring and reciting her ABC's at the top of her lungs, but if she were put into a situation where there were kids to play with or adults to sit and talk to about life, she would choose to include herself in the conversation with the "BIG" girls instead of going and playing with the kids. She is quite the character!

I am currently limited to things that I can do around the house, as I broke my leg, but Alexa is always there to lend a helping hand, wanting to know if I need a massage or if she can hold a door open for me, or help bathe me. Sometimes I forget that she IS only 2 and can't do some things, or doesn't quite comprehend things that I say to her at all times, although she does try her best!

We now live on our own, thank GOD no more roommates! We moved into our beautiful one bedroom apartment in March, and are loving the freedom of not having anyone but us two around, when Alexa is around. Her second home, and sometimes I wonder if it is her first home, is my Grandma Joan's house. Alexa loves it there, and would much sooner go there then come home any day, mostly because right now mom isn't much fun at all with a broken leg.

Well I am sure I will post more in the near future, but for now I am tired and we are planning a trip to the big city tomorrow, so check back soon for more of our exciting adventures and thrilling, enticing stories!

Miss KODA LYNN

This is some random hotness I found on my computer. And its just too much to keep to myself! haha

Don't know when it was taken, but I am guessin....I wasn't there when it happened! haha :)

I think it is a crime though when your little sister is soooooo gorgeous though, and your uncle takes wedding pictures of her already! lol

Dakota love ya, but I hope you get a big wart on your nose! LOL!!

Crazies!

Well I am really tired, but just thought I would blog since it has been a while! Alexa is growing up fast, and as beautiful as ever! She is honestly like a teen in a baby's body! She has an attitude the size of the Grande Canyon, and is not afraid to tell you how it is! She is talking so much and even creates crazy sentences, mostly to lip off, but still puts words together that make sense! I can tell I am going to have my hands full with this child as she grows up!

I am totally loving motherhood though, even though I work to much to spend good quality time together, the time we do have together is full of her making me laugh, even if she is upset at something, I laugh because of her crazy faces and honest to goodness look on life! I can never be mad at her cause she makes me laugh so much, the poor kid will be so confused with what discipline looks like! She sure is a HAM though! She loves to dance and sing and just full out annoy you in anyway she can!

Gotta love the gift of life though, I still cannot believe this precious life God placed in my life to love and cherish! And that is exactly what I shall do, love every moment and not hold any regrets! "Love is patient Love is Kind"

Mom, what you doing down here?? (I bent down to take a pic, and she followed suit!)

Here is some attitude shining through! She's got some pretty hilarious facial expressions!

She loves to draw and colour, on anything and everything!

Picking some grass! She loves it outside, loves walking and never wants to be indoors!

Update .....FINALLY!

Well, I finally bought a new camera! YAY for tax returns! And now it is time for an update on Alexa and myself!

We are still living in Fort St. John, I got a second job as a radio announcer at a local radio station mooseFM (www.moosefm.ca)! It is awesome, although I am not liking that I am away from Alexa 7 days a week, but we are surviving! Hooray for amazing friends who don't mind watching my beautiful girl most of the time! And Grandma Joan, who practically is raising Alexa, and doing an amazing job at it, I may say so myself!

Alexa is growing so fast! She is talking in sentences and cruising around like its nobodies business! She loves shoes and driving, and already I am worried! A teen at 16 months already??? Yes, it is her 16 month birthday today! Its the nineteenth, I just realized it!

Ummmm...not too much else is new, so feel free to give me a shout if you would like to find out more on our crazy life!

I swear I don't know where she gets her attitude from! Couldn't be me!!:P

Christmas Pictures

I know I am posting these a little late, but these were done just before Christmas. They are pretty much the most recent pictures I have of her because I lost my camera at Michael's wedding (hence the reason for not posting sooner!). I also didn't receive these pictures until now from my uncle because he has been ever so busy!

I will try to get a camera in the near future and post more pictures and maybe get a video of her walking and talking (she does it real good now)!

Mama's little Angel

Giving Mommy some Angel kisses

This sums up her personality! HAPPY!

The Grass looked good enough to eat!

What an Angel!

Five Things You Might Not Already Know About ME!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Ok, so I was tagged by Ian and Kristen, so I figured I should blog. Although no one will probably read it cause I have not blogged in soooooo long!

1) I LOVE my job. I know most people hate theirs, but I LOVE mine. It is crazy isn't it? I dunno, maybe it is the people I work with that make it so great, but whatever it is, I love doing it!

2) I am totally broke....100% of the time, even when I have money, it really isn't mine. It belongs to the people I owe money to, like the great government of ours, who so kindly lent me $10000 to go to school, but unfortunately I owe it back! YAY!

3) I have NO allergies. Absolutely none! I can't even begin to sympathize with Kristen, who sounds like she has one heck of a time living! :) Although I am extremely sorry that you are allergic to horses. I know if I was, I would probably die! haha

4) I have the softest sheets known to man! My wonderful mother bought them for me for christmas, and now I don't ever want to get out of bed! Honestly it feels like being asleep in a cloud (if I knew what that was like for real, but I can imagine!) Whoever wants to, please feel free to come over and give them a try! They are amazing! Micro Mink is what they are called just in case my description made you want to go and get some! :P

5) I absolutely loved giving birth to my daughter! It was the most amazing thing I have ever accomplished. Most women say it was sooo painful, but honestly I can't remember the pain, just the joy of doing what God truly made my body to do! It was incredible, I want to do it again! (I am not crazy, just in case you are wondering! )

This was something very hard to write, as I am very open so most people would know everything about me! I hope this has made you more aware of who I am exactly!

I will tag, the first five people that read this!
