Busy as a Bee!

Dear Maizy,

We had an awesome, super, fun-filled weekend.  You are saying more and more.  You are also speaking your mind more and more too - maybe not always with words but definitely with actions.

Friday you were home with dad.  You two had a great day!  After your bath you went outside to enjoy the sun for a few.



Friday night I got home from work and was super excited to see you and was rethinking the evening plan's.  Your father and I had a date night planned with some friends.  We really wanted to stay home and relax as a family, but I had already cancelled on my friend earlier in the week, so we decided to go.  We took you up to Grandma Donker's where you would be spending the night.  She was SO excited to have you overnight and spend time with you.  You two have quite the awesome relationship.  Plus Grandpa Donker was there too and you two have grown quite fond of each other, it's cute.

So we took you up to Grandma's so we could hang with these yay hoo's. Your dad and I actually had a pretty good night out with friends.


Saturday morning your father and I woke up and we both had been dreaming of you!!  Your dad was dreaming you were saying the alphabet for him and I was dreaming that you and I were driving around looking at animals. We are silly!!!  But we obviously missed you and thought about you a ton. 

I called Grandma to check on you and you were still snoozing!  At 11a.m. So she told us to take our time before coming to get you since she was going to feed and bathe you once you woke up.  Your father and I decided to go to breakfast.  Then we went to get you.  We couldn't get there fast enough.

You were excited to see us I think, I hope.  You and Grandma and Grandpa had fun.  Even though you stayed up until midnight!!  Grandpa commented on what a good girl you are and how you never cry. This I know.  

We got you in the car and we were off to go find a park for you to play in since it was such a beautiful day!!!! We found a park and got out to play, but it was crowded and really wasn't that fun of a playground. We drove around and found a park at an elementary school and we were the only ones there, it was AWESOME!!!  You were having a blast.  You even walked up the slides all by yourself.  You are becoming quite the pro at the park.  Then another girl came to the park with her parents and she was lame.  You were so cute though you said Hi!  And was showing her all around the playground.  Luckily she didn't stay too long. 



After the park we went home to relax!!  It was super nice to do just that!  You fell asleep on the way home.  Then daddy BBQ'd us a really yummy dinner!  We had chicken, bacon, blue cheese sandwiches!!  YUM!!  You like blue cheese!  That kind of surprises me since it's such a smelly cheese.  We ate dinner outside on our new little table Grandma Shelly bought us.  You were in your highchair and you wanted down, even though dad and I were still eating,  you were getting so impatient that you started yelling "help! help!" We started laughing because we have never heard you say that before, then you started saying "pleeeeeeeeease"!  It was so cute and comical, so we let you down from the table.

Then Sunday we woke up and it was not only beautiful outside but HOT!!  Dad got the soap and water out to clean off the patio.  You decided to help him. 




What are you wearing you ask?  Well when you woke up as I was changing your diaper you grabbed this shirt and put it on over your head and wore it around. After you two cleaned off the patio we got your pool out and ready for you to swim in.  YAY!!  The water was freezing so we dumped a few pots full of hot water.  We also let you swim naked!!  You were in heaven.



You were having a blast getting in and out of the pool, pouring water in and out of the pool and playing with your bath toys.  It was such a great day to sit out and enjoy the sun with you.  I got butterflies in my stomach of excitement for the awesome we are going to have.

After a few hours of playing outside it was time to come inside and take a nap.  After your nap we played, snacked and relaxed. Then dad made a yummy dinner of pork ribs - delish!  We sat outside again, it was beautiful.  I just love my little family.  You bring so, so much love and happiness to our lives.  Your dad and I seriously crack up at and with you.  We're constantly saying "did you hear her?"  "Did you see her?"  Because you are always saying and doing something new and funny. 

I am always super sad to see our weekends come to an end, but then I am reminded that every day with you is a good day!

Thank you for being so fun and cute!  Check you out!




Check you out!  These pics were taken exactly a year from each other.  I wish the other one wasn't so blurry, but can you believe how much you've grown!?!!?

Love you babe!

Love,
mommy
