Friday Favorites

-
I sit here ready to write my Friday Favorites, and I hear my sweet little girl playing with animals and telling them a story.

My favorite little girl is....

Lucy Elizabeth Ballard
10-18-05
Current height and weight
36", 32 lbs.

Lucy is a fun little girl to be around. She likes to make people laugh, and if you laugh at something once, be prepared to hear it again and again!! She loves to dance and sing, and is major into Disney Princesses and Dora. She has been talking since she was 16 months old, and it is hilarious to hear what she comes up with everyday. Her voice is the sweetest little munchkin voice, and it is so cute when she says things that end in r (like Walker, monster, hamburger), because she puts an n at the end of the word (Walken, monsten, hamburgen). My sisters are always asking her to say stuff that ends in r, just to hear her say it with an n. She is named after Monty's mom, Lucy Shaw.

Some of Lucy's favorites:

favorite foods: bananas, broccoli, macaroni and cheese, strawberries, oranges
favorite drink: CHOCOLATE MILK
favorite songs: ABCs, Hakuna Matata, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
favorite toy: Disney Princess Kitchen, her big Cinderella (its as tall as her), her ballerina skirt
favorite movie: Lion King, Cinderella, Little Mermaid
favorite activity: the zoo, the park, seeing any of her grandparents, seeing Daddy at his "piggy bank", where he works
favorite thing to do at home: Play-Doh, read books, stickers
favorite sayings: You're drivin me crazy!, that is SO much cool, we gotta problem

What I love about Lucy goosey: Since she has turned 2, she has definitely gotten more independent, and likes to test her boundaries, and she is a pro at "not hearing" mama or daddy, but she is a great girl and such a compliment to our family. She loves school and church, and is great with other kids. She is a wonderful playmate for Walker, very patient with him and lets him get away with too much, they are best friends. I love how she will put her dishes in the sink when she is done with her cup or bowl from her snack. I love how she snuggles into her Daddy when I am trying to pick her up to go to bed. I LOVE how she has always been a great sleeper, and will go to sleep on her own without the dog and pony show her brother needed. She is happy to let her crazy mama dress her up in fun clothes and big bows, and, truly loves the attention it gets her.

Well, I can go on and on about my favorite girl. Thanks, Lucy, for making my world beautiful!

I love that you did a "Favorites List" with Lucy! It is so fun to ask the kids about their favorite things regularly. You may have read my blog about this a few months ago, but we play a game at the dinner table and on car trips called "Favorties". Each person gets to come up with a "favorite question" and everyone has to answer it. Occasionally, I will write down everyone's answers just to have for later. Sometimes it is a simple question like, "What is your favorite color?", while other times it's a question like "What is your favorite thing about God?" It is so special to me when the KIDS come up with the deep questions!

You may have noticed already, but those favorite things change regularly for kiddos.

Thanks for stopping by to read my blog! Blessings, as you start back with your routine next week!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...

What's so great about living out in the country??

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend
