Tickets!!!

Getting ready on Monday morning, you started rubbing your face all over. I asked what you were doing and you said I'm trying to find tickets. Tickets?!?! in your face? You meant to say ticks! You found one on your face the day before and thought they might still be on you. You confused me there for a second trying to find "tickets" on your face. :)

I've been neglecting posting again...

The new year and first few months have been crazy. It was not the best start with so much snow and one car dying on us. You had to miss school for a whole month and half of that month you were with Grandma in Grand Island. Dad and I had to share a car and it was already hard getting around with just the two of us. But we finally got another car so we can get back to being normal again. Some things that has happened since I last posted:
Grandpa came back from Laos, I'm not too happy about that. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about but if you don't ask you about it and I'll explain.
Grandma still wants you to go live with them which i refused. She seems to think she's the only one missing you. :)
I decided to join N-10sive bootcamp which got me in shape and it motivated me to start running again. Before you were bore I used to run all the time. It was how I got aggressions and stress out. So I started running and signed up for the half marathon. Finally taking charge and setting personal goals for myself. I just finishing running the 10 mile run and did great. You and daddy didn't get to come cheer me on. It was cold and was raining. I do expect you to come cheer me on for the half though. :)
I started spring cleaning in your room. I really hope you change your bad habits to throwing things around. Seioulsy could not see the floor in your room. While you're at grandma's this week, I took the liberty of going through more toys and books and donating it.
Daddy got you a new bike and threw your old ones out. And he thinks you're actually going to ride a bike without training wheels this summer. Not that I don't have faith in you but you might be a little young. I have a helmet for you don't worry. :)
I just had a birthday-funny i never used to enjoy birthdays but i was really looking forward to the day. My 30's are the best years of my life so far. I think it's because I grew up a bit and appreciate all that I have. I have been blessed to have the best family and friends. I felt loved and I have not felt complete until I was 30s. We don't have the best things but we are healthy and happy and I can't ask for more.
One more month and you'll be 4!!! I can't believe how fast time has flown by and what a wonderful little girl you've turned into. I dont' want you to grow up and yet I can't wait to see how you turn out. I am proud that you are mine.
You've come out of your shell a bit more in the last few months. Talking and trying more things. It's still a challenge to get you to eat the right food. You still weight the same but grew a couple of inches. I finally started buying you size 4 tops, bottoms are still size 3. Your shoes size: 9. Almost made me sad.
Oh you asked for a little dog. I can't believe I was actually considering it but I think we'll just dog sit for friends instead. :)
What else??? I'll post more. I still need to think back to some of your funny sayings. I always forget to write them down. Love you my sweet.

Missing you

It's my 3rd day in Chicago and I'm missing you badly. I've traveled many times before and I miss you everytime, but I end up missing you more and more each time I go out. I just want you to know that I think of you everyday while I'm away. I wake up with you in my thoughts and I think of you everytime I fall asleep. I wonder what goes through your mind while I'm gone. Where is mommy? Why is mommy gone so long? I know you're in good care with grandma and daddy so it puts me at ease. I'm counting down the days until I see you again. Just a few more days until I get to cuddle with my sweet little angel. Love you so much.

some of your many poses and creative fashion statements

No Tears!

I can't believe it!!! You actually got your ears pierced on Saturday and you didn't even cry! :) I am so proud of you! Some of your relatives had asked me to take you in while you were still a baby but I wanted to wait. For one you kept scratching your ears when you were a baby and for two I wanted you to enjoy the experience and remember it. I'm so glad I waited. I was 50% sure you were going to back out of it and asked you at least 10 times if you were for sure you wanted to get them done that day. You reassured me by telling me you wanted purple diamond ones. So so proud of you sweetie.

there was no thunder or wind last night

Guess who climbed into bed with me last night and said "see i not scad of tunder and wind". I only let you stayed because I had already fallen asleep and too tired to be the bad guy.

Crazy Aunt Katey

So I guess Aunt Katey said she really wants to get you a cat when she gets back here from Japan. She found these Scottish fold cat that she is in love with and I happen to mention that you would love it. Of course she got all excited and thought it would be a good idea to give it to you as a gift when she comes back. I'm sorry babe but I had to tell her no. It is the cutest thing but I refused to get another pet and put more worries/responsibilties on myself. And Aunt Katey wanted to make sure I put this on your blog so you'd know that it's not her fault that you didn't get this cat as a pet.

And just so you know...you are a cat lover at this age. :)
