Leila's Little Voice

Tea Anyone?

She is becoming such a little girl. She plays tea, and walks in my heels around the house saying, "Bye, going work." Love this little monkey!

Getting HOT HOT HOT!

When you don't have a pool, and it's 100 degrees out, this is one way to keep cool. Even if she isn't playing with the ball, I find myself turning it on as a mister for my patio. Sometimes I even find myself floating in the blow up pool. Whatever works!

Sedona Trip

We took a small vacation for 4 days to Sedona. It was amazing to see all the red rock formations that were created many years ago from the wind. We took a Jeep tour up to the top of Shnebly Hill. We also went to a little Safari zoo about 30 minutes away from Sedona. It was the amazing! There were Zebras, Giraffe, Watuzi Cows, Ostrich, Lions, Tigers, and Bears Oh my! We road in a bus and the would feed the animals from inside. The Giraffe would eat a carrot out of your mouth with his big long scratchy tongue. I have never been this close to these animals. Most of them are rescue animals and some are so agressive they are in a permanent time out. We had a great trip, and was great to see some of this beautiful state where we live.
















We had a nice trip. It is always more challenging to travel with a little one that hates the car, doesn't sleep well unless she is in her own bed, and is into everything. It's nice to take small little trips that don't require us to fly, because that's a whole different experience I'm not willing to try!

Oh NO!

I guess when you sleep for 12 hours you are well rested at 7AM and ready to burn off all your energy. Leila is always moving like this, running, yelling, jumping, and her throwing toys. She is happy, but boy does she wear me out....and yes she is wearing PJ's that say "I love Santa." Such a monkey!

Happy Easter

Let the River Days Begin

This is my favorite time of year. It is warming up, but not too hot. The water is still a little cold, but Leila doesn't seem to mind. She is loves the outdoors.

Getting the floaties on.

Such a ham!
