Kaya's Birthday Dress

Kaya had the most beautiful princess dress for her 2nd birthday that her Mimi made for her!  She looked so beautiful!! I cant believe I have a 2 year old!  She has grown up so much and is always saying the cutest things!  I took these photos of her at thanksgiving point in the gardens.. she just looked like a little princess walking around her palace!

2131?

So I just looked at my blog counter and couldnt believe the obscene number of 2,131.  I would love to know who is looking at this thing... so if you happen to visit would you please leave a comment... even if it's just your name on this post.... just for fun!

Mo' Piggies!

This is what Kaya and Mimi do all day!  Mimi was putting piggies in Kaya's hair and she kept saying "Mo' Piggies!"  Translation: Will you please put more pig tails in my hair Mimi?  She is so cute and has such a little mind of her own!   I am glad her and Mimi are best friends! 

Kaya and Ari

Ari has been one of Kaya's best friends since birth (which really isnt that long... but it sounds good!)  They are finally at an age where they can play with each other and kind of communicate in their own little language!! They are so cute together... they will be friends for life, because their mothers will make them be!!

Turning a new Leaf

Ever since I have been working full time I have had a really hard time finding time to work out!  Mostly because Kaya stays with my mom all day while I am at work and I feel so bad leaving her for even another hour to get a work out... so.... Kaya and I have picked up running... We have been running everyday for a week!  Yay!  As most of you know, I have always hated running... but, running with Kaya makes it  a little more fun.  We strap her into the stroller and take off and as soon as Mommy gets tired and starts to slow down, Kaya asks, "Mommy rest?"  and I say "Yes, Mommy rest".  Kaya gives me about 2 seconds and then screams, "Mommy!  Faster!!"  So, I run faster... she is a great running coach!  We have a good time and I have already lost 5 pounds!  Yay for me!  She and I will have to find another activity as soon as the snow starts to fall... any ideas?  In the mean time, it's me and my new running partner!

I Saw God Today

       




Sometimes being single, I feel my life is so busy and crazy trying to balance all aspects including working full time, being a mom, dating and having a social life.... Then there are days like today and I look into her eyes and I know that God is watching over me. He has sent me such a beautiful little spirit and I know that He is real and that He is always with me. Kaya is the biggest blessing in my life and I am so thankful that I have her.... I pray everyday that I can be the kind of woman that I want her to be..... Here are a few pictures of my little guardian angel......
