Funny Girl!

Dear Maizy,

You are quite the funny girl.  I was reading in a book that around this age you like to please your parents and make people laugh.  Well you go above and beyond that.  You please us more and more every day and you are hilarious!!

i had such a fun weekend with you and you being such a good, easy going girl makes our days much more enjoyable.  Your laugh and smile is SO contagious!

Friday night I got home from work.  You were taking a nap so I hurried and went to the gym.  I got home and we played and played.  Then I made this yummy basil, cheese, mushroom, onion pizza for dinner.  You liked it too as long as you had dip to dip it in!

Then we just played, had bath time,  read books and went to bed.  Our night went by too fast but it was awesome knowing that we could sleep in and just enjoy the next couple of days.

Saturday we woke up and had a quick breakfast.  Then we kind of slowly got ready for the day.  You were so good and entertained yourself while mommy and daddy got ready for the day.  Look at you just reading books to yourself.  Cutest thing EVER!

Then we got you dressed and brushed your teeth - with your sunglasses on of course - so that we could go on our picnic at the park.

Saturday was absolutely beautiful, windy, but warm and sunny!!  We drove around to see if there were any cool yard sales or anything on our way to the store.  There weren't any.  We went to the store and got sandwiches, salad and drinks for lunch, drove to the park and oh my gosh!  It was SOOOOO crowded, so we drove to another one and no one was there, it was awesome!!!  We had our picnic on the actual playground - we owned the place.  You are a "park playing pro"  you know your way around and know just what to do.  You would get a bit of sandwich, go down the slide and then come back for more food.  You were just too busy to sit down and eat.  Then after a while a little boy and his Grandpa came to play too.  They were really nice and cute.  We were there playing for a good hour even with the crazy wind!

Then we went home and got kind of cleaned up and headed to Todd and Sara's to get Glitter Toes!!  Todd's daughter, Maddison, is going to nail school, so she is learning to do glitter toes and wanted to do ours.  Sara was first and they turned out SO cute.  You were next!  i chose a cute light sparkly pink for you.  You did SOOOOO good.  You sat still and everything.  You were totally into it.  Then after it was my turn and you put your feet back up there - you wanted to do it again!! Ha ha ha!!

You had a blast playing with Colton and Christian.  Grandpa Frank came over and visited for a few, it was great to see him.  You were chasing Christian in the yard, it was a crack up and you were having SO much fun!!  You really are such a good, good girl.  You read books and colored in Christian's room while us girls had girl talk and everything.  I am such a proud, proud mama.  There were a few people that stopped over while we were there and they all commented on how darling you are.  You and I played outside too, it was a wonderful day!!  We didn't get home until after 11 p.m. and with only a 20 minute nap that day you were a total rockstar!!  Dad missed us but I am pretty sure he enjoyed his day of lounging around watching sports. 

Check out the pics of you at Sara's playing.  Yep that is marker on your arms and q-tips in your ear and nose - hey what else are you supposed to do with them! Ha ha ha!

We slept in until 11 a.m. on Sunday. When I went to get you out of your bed you decided you wanted to read about 10 books before even heading downstairs, so we did!  Then we went downstairs to a yummy breakfast prepared by dad - ham, eggs, toast and hashbrowns - YUMMY!!!  It was kind of crappy outside so we stayed in most of the day. 

After breakfast you were horsing around and playing in your stroller - even though we told you, you were too big.  Who cares though really!?!?  You were having fun!!  I LOVE your smile!!!  And I love it even more that you are always smiling!!!



Then you decided that you needed your sunglasses on to watch Dora.  Then it was bath time!!  I took your jammies off and noticed that you only had 2 of your glitter toes still on - you play and climb so much that they all fell off.

After your bath we read books, colored, ate lunch, you took a nap and I went grocery shopping, then when you woke up daddy made dinner - his  ever-so-delicious- beef stroganoff - while i made homemade chocolate molten cake.  You wanted to be part of the action, so I set up a chair right up to the counter.  When I turned around from grabbing another pan you were busted with your hands in the bowl of batter!!!! Ha ha ha!! I can't blame you though - that stuff is delicious!!!  Then I gave you the whisk to lick - so cute!!!  I swear you could have at least 3 baths a day if we had the time!  Your face was a mess!!!  Then we had dinner, dessert and since it was getting late we went and laid down in my bed and watched Dora.  You decided that you needed your sunglasses on to watch Dora. 

You are always cracking me up and melting my heart with your sweet anecdotes and that contagious smile, beautiful eyes and sweetest voice.  I love you babe!

Thanks for a wonderful weekend.  Next weekend is Easter!!  It's going to be a fun filled crazy weekend for sure full of candy, Easter egg hunts, family and yummy food!!!

Until then I know we are going to have a great week together.  Dad is working all week up in Ogden and he might stay a night or two up there, so there might be some girl nights only this week - FUN!!!

You are at Grandma Donker's today and I know you are going to have a good day!!  It's inevitable that you get spoiled no matter where you are!

Love you!

Love,
mommy
