Well today my baby girl turned ONE.
Can you believe it? ONE? Wow...I can't believe this year has flown by like it has!
She's growing up too fast. I wish I could keep her at this age a little bit longer!
She got up and we got her ready for daycare today in her fabric tutu, onesie, and bow outfit that we ordered from Remington's RadDesigns. She looked so stinken cute when I took her to daycare. We woke Daddy up so he could tell her "Happy Birthday" and then we headed off to daycare. I took some chocolate covered honey buns for the teachers to cut up and give to the kiddos for her birthday snack. I figured cupcakes would be too much for a bunch of little ones.
Tonight after work I'm going to go to the store and get her some Cotton Candy ice cream (she loved it the other night) and after dinner we are going to have a strawberry (like cupcake) roll with cream filling and some cotton candy ice cream for her birthday.
Her birthday party is Saturday and we can not wait to celebrate Miss Preslee turning ONE!
Here are a few pictures from this morning as we were getting ready and heading to daycare...
Here are a few sneak peaks of her 1st birthday pictures done by Stilling The Moment Photography (Dana)...
So as Thanksgiving falls upon us there is several things in life to be thankful for...
So here is my "thank you" list...
My husband - Thankful for my husband and the way he provides for the family. He makes ends meet and we don't have to worry about how things will come. He does little things that makes big differences (ie. cleaning the yard, writing a short note, moving something). I love this man!
Anastacia - Thankful for this girl. She brought the first meaning of real, true, passionate love to me 5 1/2 years ago. She made me a better person and want to better myself to help her through life and give her the best I can.
Triton - This little guy was miracle. When he was born he umbilical cord was in a true, solid knot. Doctor said she had delievered 2 other babies this way and they died before or during the birthing process. His umbilical cord was also wrapped around his neck a couple times. After he was born the doctor said he was a "miracle baby." With his birth it made me a stronger person. A person that now had 2 children to pour her love into and also 2 children to take care of on her own.
Skylar - My angel with wings. With the pregnancy she brought so many happy emotions, so many happy thoughts, so many wanted memories that I wanted to make. Then the world crashed around me and she was gone. She made me very strong. She made me the person I am now. The person that has gone through so much, for so long, and still holding it together. She gave me hope that I would have another baby and I would be ok. She brought Albert & I closer together and she showed me a side of me that I was not used to seeing - sensitive and not in control. I'm thankful for the 17 weeks of time that I had with her in my tummy. Those 17 weeks are unforgetable.
Preslee - My little angel on this earth. After Skylar we quickly got pregnant (not meaning to) - within a month. To me this meant she was meant to be here with us today! The pregnancy with her made me every so thankful for the true meaning of life. So people take for granted a pregnancy - me I thanked God everyday for that pregnancy. She has brought so much happiness into our family. She is our miracle/angel on earth from God. I wouldn't know what to do without her.
Mom - The woman that gave me life and brought me here. We have been through a lot of things together. We have had our ups and downs, are talking/not talking times, and the best a friendship. I love my Mom!
Nana - This is the lady that raised me. She made me a lot of who I am today. Though I've had many ups and downs with her I wouldn't trade her for the world.
I'm thankful for everyone else also. My brothers are another one that I can't miss. They have done things that I've needed, been there when I needed, and listened when I needed. I have aunts and uncles I'm thankful for. I have many friends that I'm thankful for and wouldn't know what to do without them.
THANK you to everyone for the support, love, and friendship that you all have shown me. Without you I wouldn't be who I am and wouldn't have the life that I have today!
Halloween has come and gone for another year. Kids had fun with their costumes. Anastacia was a flapper, Triton was Spiderman, and Preslee was a lamb.
Anastacia went to a carnival at church in Tulsa with Nana so she wore hers an extra time but Preslee wore hers to daycare for her party one day...Then Anastacia and Triton wore their costumes to school and daycare and then that night for Trick or Treating...
