Last week we enjoyed camping in the Florida Keys. It was a good trip, although most people thought we were crazy. The only trouble was no good place to take a nap (you try to put a baby down in a sunlit tent and see how it goes). Despite this, there was enough new scenary to keep Daniley well occupied and happy, even napless! We will probably camp again next year, but most likely at a place much closer to home than Key West!

This picture says it ALL!
This is what she did when the supervision wasn't so super. LOL.

Happy Valentine's Day from a Heart Breaker!!!
We started our morning with some Cowboy Pancakes! Then we moved on to Reese's cups and other various junk! Daniley got a Valentine from her G-Paw and her LeLe & Maurice! From me and her Daddy she got some new sippy cups, 2 outfits, and a Wii game (Fencing, so she can just throw the controllers around through the air, hahaha).

This weekend we went to a birthday party (Happy Birthday Jaxson!). Daniley had a great time playing and was one of only three girls at the party. She could definitely take her pick and lucky for her there were lots of VERY handsome boys at the party! ;-)

Although Daniley saw a snow last year, I was unable to be with her due to professional obligations. So this was our first snow together! First, the snow was kid tested & mother approved.
Daniley played in her car. We even went offroad...but then the snow got all clogged up in the underside and I ended up having to carry the car and the passenger.
This picture is here only as a reminder that Daniley never slows down. It's go-go-go wide-wide-open all the time. I love that she is so active because there's never a dull moment.

I made this little outfit for Daniley...the shirt fits more like a dress so I'll have to shorten it. That's what happens when you get carried away with ruffles. LOL.

Before church this morning, Daniley was playing Cowgirls and Indians. She was both the Cowgirl...and the (wild) Indian.


These other pictures were of me chasing Daniley around the yard with my camera. I was trying to get a picture with the following requirements: 1. Looking right at me 2. Eyes really blue (just the right amount of light in them) 3. Smiling. Well I got some really cute pictures but not what I was going for. We had a good time playing chase though. :-)

One of my favorite pictures....

Daniley loves her Dadu!

(and he just doesn't care anything about her at all, can't you tell?)

:-P

All she ever wanted was a life as a cashier!
(Man, what some people do when they don't know they're being filmed) :-)

Happy New Year

Daniley was an astronaut for New Years Eve. This is kind of my own little made up tradition...dress in something fun and go to dinner. :-) We had a blast.

Then on New Year's night Daniley's first cousin James Dexter spent the night with us. It was freezing but I put them on 2 outfits each and we went out to play! Dexter couldn't handle the gloves so he had to wear the pink mittens. :-)

Then we dressed in our new Cowgirl paraphanelia and went off to Publix. This is THE CUTEST outfit...and the Wranglers are big so we'll get lots of use out of them and the belt too!

Christmas Eve...dinner with Pawpaw & Debbie, Aunt JoAynn, Uncle Danson, and Aunt Brooke. These are the only presents she opened. Christmas morning....she was busy with her Santa toys.....opening presents was no longer important.

Loot from Santa!

Loot from LeLe (grandmother).

Ready for Honey & GPaw's house...but let me make one more pot of coffee first...

Playing with loot after Christmas...

"Mom misplaced one of my gloves...but that's okay, I can borrow one from her."

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
The baby was stirring and putting things in her mouth.
She unwrapped some presents while while Mom wasn't looking
Then got in the snacks while Momma was cooking!
She ate through Dexter's present and then spit it out

I hope Santa's not watching while he's in route!!!

A few weeks back...went to the Summit just to let Ms. Cuteness run around. It was so fun and she was definitely the cutest kid on the block. ;-)

Happy Birthday to Fireman Talon! Thanks for inviting us to the party; it was so much fun!

CHRISTMAS CARD ALERT:
If you did not receive a Christmas card from me, it's because I didn't make any this year. :-( I've been lazy (for a change) and have had no motivation (for a change) to make them. But MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my loved ones and friends!

We had a great time at the Christmas party. I know we didn't get pictures of everyone but I was unable to pick up a camera the entire night. (Thanks to GPaw for these great images.) I hope I can do this Christmas party every year!!!
