Went to Madison last Saturday to celebrate my brother-in-laws 50th birthday. Enjoyed spending time with Randal's family and friends.

Caylee-Grace followed her big cousin Jacob around and tried to do everything he did.

My two favorite people

Caylee-Grace striking a pose in her new "Hello Kitty" outfit her Grandmother gave her for Christmas

Sunday night, Randal wanted to make homemade pizzas. We made them with Vension Bacon Burger and Vension pepporni. They were delicious. Caylee-Grace doesn't like pizza but she loved these.

We have been going over the ABC's and 123's with Caylee-Grace and she is doing well recognizing them on paper. We are only to the letter H, and 1-5 numbers. She is so smart. She knows her colors, shapes, ABC's and can count to 20. She has just said her 3rd bible memory verse too. So proud of our baby girl. She is such a joy and blessing.

Play Doh Fun

Not much going on. Just hanging out playing with CG. She loves play doh. Here is what her and her Daddy did one day. It is Mommy, Daddy and Caylee-Grace.

Out of all her toys she got for Christmas, I think the blocks and playdoh are her favorite. She also loves to watch movies, we have been watching Max & Ruby, Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony. We have also started trying to teach her to recognize her abc's. She can say her abcs but we are TRYING to teach her to recognize them and write them. We also have moved on to her 3rd bible memory verse. We are working on Eph. 5:19 now. She loves to sing bible songs.If we could just get her to tell her Sunday School Teacher her memory verse.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! CG and I went to our yearly church New Years Eve Singing last night and sang until about 10 pm then went downstairs and ate finger foods, didn't stay until midnight because of CG. She didn't even fall asleep on the way home ( I guess it must have been that chocolate chip cookie she ate that Nana gave her). She didn't go do sleep until 11:45. We did take a 2 hour nap earlier that day.

Had a wonderful New Years Day worshiping. After church this morning, had the good lunch with pork and blackeye peas. I just knew CG would take a nap with me since she stayed up late last night but NO she wanted to play with Nana. So I let her and I took a 2 hour nap. Good thing she got to play outside today with Nana, because it is suppose to be cold this next week and we will be stuck inside.

After church tonight, CG wanted to go to McDonald's and eat inside. So we went and ate, she feel asleep on the way home so she went to bed tonight at 7:30.

I always make New Years Resolutions and most of the time, I don't go thru with them. I didn't last year but the year before I did. I said I was going to ready the bible all the way thru in a year and I did but I didn't do that last year. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't read my bible near as much as I should. That is my resolution this year is to draw closer to God and focus on being a better Wife, Mother and first and most of all a better Christian Woman. God has blessed my life so much, especially this past year, giving me the opportunity to be at home full time with my daugther. I want to be a better Christian so that I can teach and raise Caylee-Grace to be one too. I need to be a better example to her. She is so smart and loves to sing bible songs and has already learned to bible memory verses.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed 2012. Lets focus on why we are here, to prepare a place in Heaven for us one day if we are found faithful. This world is not our home, we are just passing through. We need to prepare and live our lives for Jesus so we can be with him in Heaven one day. I'm starting a new devotional book tonight called "I Grow". I'm excited to start the New Year studying and meditating on Gods Word. Just 15 minutes of quality time with God is going to change my life. I should have the whole bible read by end of the year and a closer relationship with my Savior.
