Time for a Trim

We are combating baby mullet! I took Nyah in for her second hair cut...Cousin Tina did a GREAT job giving Nyah a stylish yet not too trendy bob. I need to post the final product but I haven't taken any pictures yet.

Not really sure what to call this one?

Nyah invited her friend Jayci to the Aggie game last week. They had a fabulous time...in the car...and at the game.

Nyah found my sunglasses the other day and came walking down the hall with them on. Ha!

Grandpa and Grandma's or BUST

We started our visit of with some serious cheering at Aunt Camille indoor soccer game. I think Nyah was the most rowdy in the crowd. She is used to cheering at Aggie games and applied the same enthusiasm for Camille. (isn't my mom a major babe?)

These are my mom's famous Valentine cookies. She has made them ever since I can remember. It isn't Valentines without them! They have to be heart-shaped, with pink frosting, and a single red cinnamon lip in the center. We ran out of lips this year hence the creativity on the back row. I didn't feel good about straying from tradition...but they needed something.

Nyah always has a blast being entertained 24/7 at Grandma's

Here she is with Great Grandma Moss having her usual... Easy Mac and Cheese

Grandpa let her break all the rules this weekend starting with eating Ice Cream with her very own spoon. Heaven on earth! Usually she goes from person to person around the table begging for treats like Helen Keller.

While videoing this my brother-in-law Dan made the comment that Nyah is not going to be the best part of our home videos... the weird and crazy stuff I say to her on video will be the most entertaining. I admit I'm a little over the top sometimes...but isn't that what kids love? Come on.

Nyah and Grandpa had some serious business to attend to. Nyah is conducting hers on the desktop while Grandpa is on the laptop.

Basic Instinct

Am I weird or is licking the beaters not a basic human instinct? I was making pink frosting for my mom's classic heart shaped valentine cookies...after I was done mixing it I held the beaters up for Nyah. She looked at me like "ya, so?" I actually had to demonstrate what came next. She does have the hang of it now...and my cookies turned out FAB as well.

Walkin in a winter wonderland

Nyah has been dying to play outside...so I bundled her up this cold day in 8 layers and let her make a run for it.
I seeeeeee... Olympic figure skater? Ok I'm sure Kristi Yamaguchi didn't perform a triple lux with her first experience on ice either. :) Nyah seriously loves to be outside! She also loves strangers and ran up to one on our walk yesterday and put her arms up to her.

Down and Out (except not out)

Nyah has been sick this weekend so we stayed home and tried to make the most of it... so Derek dressed her like Pocahontas and played hide and seek under a towel.

If laughter really is the best medicine we should be ready to roll by Monday?

Uncle B and Auntie Sher came up for a visit. Nyah had to unload Sher's purse and try on all the lip gloss, lotion and several items of clothing. I think silver is really her color!

Derek's Birthday/Superbowl Celebration

January 30th was Derek's birthday he is now 29 that's right! Only one more year until he is officially OLD! We celebrated in style with the usually breakfast birthday party complete with a gift-unwrapping-helper that doubled as the entertainment as well :)

We had dinner with our friends Matt and Shanae (which we got our very first babysitter for) that night and closed the evening with a classic birthday cake and song.

Sunday we had a superbowl party at our house. The game was great but the food and company were even better!

Go ahead and breathe, I know it's impressive...yes, I made these golf cupcakes myself for Derek's second birthday party. The picture is a little blurry because I may have permanently damaged our point and shoot camera...at least that's what Derek is "claiming" ;).

Here they are in all their glory the top is a whole in one! Derek has been dying to visit the green so these are the next best thing.

Our friends Rich and Sarah have a beautiful newborn baby Jane and Nyah thinks that she is her mother. She insisted on holding her all day especially when she would cry. I'm frightened that she is ready for a sister. YIKES!
