The atmosphere is just so great with the sounds of the holiday season. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Everywhere</span> you look you see lights, decorations and love. But with all of that comes the stress also. I can already feel the overwhelming stress of buying gifts for everyone on the list. When I think of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span> the first thing that comes to mind for me lately is Gifts, gifts and more gifts! When did <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span> turn into that? When did we loose the true meaning of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span>? <br />I want my daughter to grow in knowing what Christmas really is, and not what its commercialized to be. God gave us his son. Jesus was born on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span> day. That is something to be celebrated about! Christmas <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">shouldn't</span> be a time of stress it should be a time of joy and reflection over what an amazing gift God gave us. <br />So this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> going to be doing a bit different. I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">absolutely</span> love all my friends and know how much <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> loved by each <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">of them</span>. So please <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">don't</span> feel the need to spend money on me for a gift. I will not be buying for friends this year. Instead I will be putting that money towards a gift for someone that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">truly</span> needs it and I encourage you to do the same. <br /><br />Love,<br />TiffanyTiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-46210651939574797592009-10-06T12:58:00.002-05:002009-10-06T13:03:04.649-05:00Sweet momentsI took Ryleigh to the fireworks the other day by myself. We found a nice quiet spot up on the hill and layed out a blanket. I watched her run and play with some kids behind us having a great time. When the fireworks started we layed down on the blanket and snuggled close to keep warm. A few min later she looked up at me and said "Guess what Mama? I LOVE you!" She just made my heart melt and made me realize how blessed I am to have her. <br />There are still days that I look at her and think 'WOW, shes MINE!? I had a hand in creating this beautiful girl.' It just amazes me.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-16397990158451521842009-10-02T14:23:00.003-05:002009-10-02T14:34:05.392-05:00Im LovedIf you would have asked me a month or so ago how I felt about my life you probally would have gotten an "Its ok" or "Things are fine". Truth is it wasnt. Everyday was a struggle, everyday was a fight about something stupid that didnt really matter. <br />Then a friend of mine asked me to go to a Marraige retreat that talked about the <a href="http://www.fivelovelanguages.com/">5 Love Languages</a>. It totally turned my marraige around. I found out Bobby likes words of affirmation. I try and tell him something everyday at least once thats positive. "You look nice today", "Thanks so much for doing the dishes", "Thanks for fixing the closet door". Simple thing that I usually take for granted that he does. I try and take time out in the evening to spend with him and listen to him talk about his day. I appreciate him more. <br />My Love launguage is Physical Touch. Hes been doing a great job of making sure he kisses me goodbye, giving me an extra hug, putting his arm around me at church. Little things like that lets me know he still loves me for me.<br />God heard my prayers and answered them for me. Im happier than ive been in a long time.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-86291436306317447012009-05-31T13:57:00.000-05:002009-05-31T14:17:16.279-05:00vacation day 1So day 1 was absolutly not what we had planned. We left the house on time to get to the beach at 3pm. I started out driving and drove for about and hour and a half. I started to get tired so I pulled over at a rest stop and Rona took over. She drove for about 2 hrs then we stopped at another rest area to potty. Bobby decided he was ready to drive. We weren't in VA that long when Bobby hit the breaks and we slowed down. I looked over and there was a cop in the median. I said "how fast were you going". His reply was "80". We passed the cop and I looked back to see him pulling out and the lights came on. He pulled up behind us so we pulled over. I quickly got all the papers ready and Bobby had them as he came to the window saying "I clocked you at 82 in a 65. That's recklace endangerment" He took the papers and said he would be back. He came back ticket in hand and said he gave us a ticket for 80 in a 65 so we would just pay a fine. Whew! We were back on the road and before I knew it he's driving 80 again. I told him at the next rest stop he was done! I took over and we almost were hit 2 times. The first time I was in her blind spot and she tryed to come over. The second a guy swerved to miss a chunk of tire and Almost came into me. I had to slam on the breaks and swerve into the side of the road. Luckaly we were fine both times. I drove till we were an hour outside of myrtle. I'm a better navigator so Bobby drove and did the speed limit. Then the GPS said we were almost there. I was so happy after the days events. We get to where it said it was supposed to be and nothing. I looked at the address and Bobby had the S in the wrong spot. Instead of 1200 S ocean blvd. He had 1200 ocean blvd S. So we fixed it and drove 45 min to where it said. We again see the ocean and get so excited to finally get there and again nothing. I called them and they said we were 30 min away! So we get back on the Rd with the complete address and zip! Finally at 6 pm, 15 hrs later, we arrived and were safe. We get the room key and get all the luggage onto the messed up luggage carrier and went to the 4th floor where are room was supposed To be. Nope its on the 14th floor! So we finally got into the room and settled. Ry was dying to go to the beach. So we did. She had an awsome time and cryed when we left. <br /><br />She did amazing on the trip. Didn't per her pants and for the most part was a very good girl. I love that kid so much!Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-44131093307471940542009-04-21T16:04:00.002-05:002009-04-21T16:11:06.971-05:00Crap-Tastic MondayYesterday was the most horrible day I have had in a very long time! It started off like any monday and I started laundry. I went to the other side of the basement to pull some clothes out for someone on freecycle when I head splashing!? I went around to the other side of the basment and theres water everywhere! Ryleigh had pulled the hose out of the wash basin and layed it on the floor. So all the water that was supposed to be filling up the washer was all over the floor. I cleaned it up and went upstairs. Ryleigh was playing in the playroom downstairs. I went back down to switch out the laundry and theres water all over the floor AGAIN! This time she had added my laundry powder to the floor and all over everything else she could fling it on. While Im cleaning up that mess She goes upstairs and coats the TV in A&D, pees on the floor, helps herself to 2 brownies and takes the saline eye wash and sprays it in the toilet! I was SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!! I finally got her in her room to nap and then the dog throws up! After her nap wasnt too bad for the first hr or 2. Then we went to walmart where she procedes to throw a fit and throw herself on the floor sobbing all because I said we couldnt get sunglasses. We go to TRU to pick out a swingset and on the way home she says "Wheres Dubba mama?" (her blanky) of course she left it in TRU! So Bobby turned the car around and we went back to save dubba. <br />I hope I dont have any more of these days any time soon.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-92228897376746915292009-04-20T07:06:00.005-05:002009-04-20T07:18:53.301-05:00Beautiful WeekendThis weekend the weather was so nice!

It hit home. Sometimes I feel like a camelleon changing to fit in with the different poeple I hang out with. I hang out with certain friends and Ill say some curse words to fit in with them, then I hang out with another group and change something else to fit in better with them. Lately ive been doing a lot of sole searching and trying to find my puropse and none of those are it. Im tired of trying to be someone im not. I am a jesus freak, a loving mother who values the time I spend with my daughter, I am a loving wife who misses her husband because hes been working crazy hrs, a caring friend who is always there if you need me, a daughter who loves spending time with her mom, and sister who misses her little sister because shes always working. <br />Ill no longer try to fit into the crowds that dont except me for just being ME.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-41722068805637826022009-03-31T17:52:00.002-05:002009-03-31T17:57:34.946-05:00A sign from GodRecently I have been praying <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">a lot</span> about something. I asked God to give me a sign on what I should do, or what will happen about it. Last night I had a dream about it. I woke up wondering 'was that a sign?' Then after thinking about it, email a great friend, and pondering it some more I got in the car and as soon as I turned the car on, there it was plain as day, My song. This <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">isn't</span> just any song. Its a song that has been used as a sign many times throughout my life. <br /><br />So tonight is the night I chose to talk to this person about something that is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">extremely</span> important to me. Say a prayer for me that I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">don't</span> come off too strong, and do it in a way where they understand my point.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-21654301552293582562009-03-31T16:25:00.005-05:002009-03-31T17:52:06.758-05:00My Girl....Its about time I added some new pictures of the princess.

What we were passionate about, what we liked, what we are good at etc. This is a hard subject for me. I can talk so easily and freely about most things, but sometimes I feel so uncomftable talking about me. It seems like such a hard topic, but really shouldnt it be easy. Were talking about me here. Not rocket science. I mean Ive lived with me for 27 years and 11 months now. Shouldnt I know a little more on this subject? <br /><br />I feel like I was put here to be a mom, and I really try to be a good one and not screw it up. Some days I go to bed thinking wow did I crash and burn today or what. Other days I go to bed with a smile and think how lucky I am to have such a wonderful loving daughter. Sometimes those days to come enough. But I go to sleep and wake greeting the day ready to start our next adventure. <br /><br />What I like/good at: Ive always been very crafty and have a knack for looking at things and just knowing how to do it (for the most part). I started out in the jewelry buisness by attending a jewelry party. I bought a bunch of things and after looking at them figured out how to do it. Then I was looking online at needle felting and that didnt look hard either, so I bought the stuff and im rather good at it. Sewing is a whole 'nother story. I want to learn to sew in the worst way, but cant seem to get it right. I think I need a teacher for that. <br /><br />So thats a little about me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and Ill answer them.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-48024084940695192062009-03-30T13:21:00.002-05:002009-03-30T13:34:39.122-05:00Red LobsterUsually on Sundays Ryleigh and I go to my parents house for dinner. Bobby comes too when he isnt working. Since my dad went to VA with a friend to a NASCAR race we decided to go to Red Lobster and splerge a bit. My dad doesnt like it there, so this was the perfect time to go. Ryleigh decided not to take a nap yesterday, and before we even went I was on stressed with her behavior. We get there and she kept telling me she wanted a baby fork. (ie the fork they give you with your crab legs) I told her she would have to wait, but she kept insisting. Finally I distracted her with the crayons. The bread came and she nibbled on that a bit. The salads came and she dives into my salad and takes all the crutons. I dont mind giving them to her, but I do not want her hands in my food. Its not polite. The food comes and she dives into my sisters plate taking her broccoli. Again I tell her to ask and Na-Na (Rona) will gladly give her a taste. But thats not good enough. She keeps grabbing the broccoli and NOT tasting it, just taking it off her plate. Then shes grabbing my shrimp and sucking the butter off and putting it back!? Um...EWW! She asked to go to the bathroom and when I took her in there I explained to her that she was being very BAD and when we went back out she needed to put her listening ears on and listen. I pick her up to put her in the high chair and she SCREAMS bloody murder. I told her that wasnt acceptable and that if she did it again we would be making a trip to the bathroom and it wouldnt be to potty! I didnt even get to finish my cold dinner. I was so disappointed in her behavior. Looking back on it, I should have taken her to the bathroom and whooped her butt! <br /><br />So these are the terrible 2's...Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-29551117387035576122009-01-21T12:39:00.004-05:002009-01-21T13:35:10.647-05:00The Spotted Box Jan 09!I was so happy when the door bell rang yesterday at 11am.

Overall I would say it was a good year. Even though there were a few bumps in the road we got over them and learned from them. I think one of the best things that came out of 2008 was, I learned a lot about myself. Im a lot stronger than I give myself credit for. I have grown so much in my faith and even go to church by myself if I have to, just to go! Ive grown as a mom and I think I do a pretty good job too. Ive even become a little more patient too, and learned to pick and choose my battles. Ive even grown as a wife too, and choose my battles there too...lol. <br /><br />Ive learned a lot about the people in my life. I look forward to learning even more in 2009. Im sure it will be a good year with lots more bumps and learning experiences but Ive got great friends I can count on though. <br /><br />Thanks for helping me through 2008...Heres to a new year and a fresh start.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-67926963033206654742008-12-10T11:46:00.002-05:002008-12-10T11:50:01.974-05:00Smart shopper<a href="http://mommainflipflops2.blogspot.com/2008/12/smart-shopper-review-giveaway.html">Momma in flip flops 2</a> has the BEST giveaways EVER!

This has been the worst moth ever! It started out with my MIL needing surgery. It was scheduled for October 7th. On October 6th I get a call that I almost didnt answer from a lady that I didnt know. She seemed very nervous and there was complete chaos in the background. Shes asking for Bobby. I calmly say, hes not here, hes at work. She seems panicked now and telling me I need to get ahold of him that his moms house is on fire. I tell her ok and immediatly hang up, I still dont know who she is. I called walmart, and told whoever answered that I needed Bobby immediatly it was an emergancy, Bobby picked up the phone with in seconds and I told him " everyone is OK, but you need to go to your moms house NOW its on fire" (he ALWAYS tells me if there is something wrong to let him know people are OK first) He left and I start the process of trying to get a sitter for Ryleigh. I still didnt know the severity of the problem, but I knew if I was needed it wouldnt be a place I could take her. The phone rang several more times and it was the same lady wanting to know where Bobby was coming from, what he was driving etc so he could get through. My mom said she would take Ryleigh so as I was backing out of the driveway my cell rang, it was Bobby telling me he NEEDED me to come. I got to the hospital as the ambulance was pulling in. MIL was a mess to put it lightly. She was having panic attacks and her BP was sky high. After a few hrs in the ER she was discharged and went home with Angie. The house was a total loss. Surgery was postponed 2 weeks. She had it on Oct 21st. She was in a lot of pain. They removed a tumor from her face. On Oct 29th she had her follow up appt and they told her it was cancer. <br /><br />So today is a NEW month and we are going from there. We are going to stick together and pray like we have never prayed before and together we will beat this beast called cancer. Ryleigh is not even 2 yet. She NEEDS her mammie for a long time still....Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-10378892361506746692008-10-23T13:38:00.001-05:002008-10-23T13:55:54.224-05:00Nose Surgery *Graphic*My nose surgery is on its way to being scheduled. I just have to wait to get my paper in the mail telling me when it will be. If all goes according to plan it will be about a 2 1/2 hr surgery. It will take place in 2 parts. The first part will be performed by the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ENT</span>. He will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">endoscopiclly</span> reduce my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">turbinates</span>. Here is a definition of what a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">turbinate</span> is :The anatomy of your nasal cavity has shelves and folds that warm the air and add moisture to it before it reaches your lungs, which makes breathing much more comfortable. These shelves are called the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">turbinates</span>. Here is a website with a picture of them <a href="http://www.commoncold.org/undrstnd.htm">http://www.commoncold.org/undrstnd.htm</a><br />Mine are almost always swollen, making it hard for me to breath through my nose. After he is done the plastic Surgeon will do a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">rhinoplasty</span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">septoplasty</span> using the open approach. This is the part of the surgery that will take the longest...about 2 hrs if all goes well. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">rhinoplasty</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">I'm</span> getting <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">isn't</span> because I hate the shape of my nose, its necessary to help me breath. He will make a cut around the front part of my nose and "flip it up" (Hence the "open approach") after that he will break my nose and re-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">a line</span> it. He will make graphs with my cartilage and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">broaden</span> my nose. He said it would look better that way also because I have a very narrow nose. So it will end up 8mm wider when hes done. <br /><br />Here is the definition of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Rhinoplasty</span>. The second paragraph describes why I need the surgery. What Is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Rhinoplasty</span>?<br />Noses come in all shapes and sizes, and are often the focal point of the entire face. Today, noses can be reshaped, reformed and redesigned in nose surgery called "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">rhinoplasty</span>," also known as a nose job . <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Rhinoplasty</span> surgery can thin the nose, turn it up, augment it, shorten it, elongate it or otherwise bring it into balance with the rest of the face.<br />Although a nose job is often completely cosmetic — done strictly to improve appearance — it can include procedures that improve the function of the nose by helping open up the breathing passages. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Septoplasty</span> (surgery to reshape the septum, the vertical wall of bone and cartilage between the two nostrils) is done to ease breathing problems caused by blockages. It is often performed to correct a deviated, or crooked, septum. A deviated septum can be the root cause of a crooked nose, so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">septoplasty</span> can have both cosmetic and reconstructive aspects.<br /><br />It looks like the surgery will be in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">December</span> now. Hopefully the beginning. Ill keep everyone updated and also add some before and after shots of my nose. <br /><br />Please keep me in your prayers as it gets closer to surgery time. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">I'm</span> extremely nervous!Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-66345509859610716022008-10-11T06:53:00.003-05:002008-10-11T09:57:31.852-05:00Learning ExperienceI have learned so much this week about so many thing. First I have learned that im alot better in a crisis than I thought I ever would or could be. God has really shown me just how strong I really am. <br />Second god has shown me what is important in life and what is not. <br />Third I have found out who I can count on. I have been amazed at the support I have gotten, and who I have gotten it from. I have been so amazed by the items we have recieved so far and thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. Trust me though, you all will be properly thanked when things settle down. <br /><br />For those that have no idea what im taking about, My IL's house burnt down on Monday. The house was a total loss and they didnt have renters insurance. My MIL was there at the time. She was out on the pourch talking to the neighbors that were buying the house beside hers. She wasnt hurt at all in the fire. My Fil was at work. Its been a super tough week, but I think we all are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now. Clothes and household items are coming in and shes seeing the love all these people are showing for a lady they dont even know. Its absolutly amazing. <br /><br />Here is a link to pictures of the house <a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/Mils%20House%20after%20the%20Fire/">http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/Mils%20House%20after%20the%20Fire/</a>Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-69762311714209250432008-10-05T13:25:00.004-05:002008-10-05T14:15:25.339-05:00Pretty's in the sky...(Extremely pic heavy!)Yesterday we went to the Oglebay fest.

Ryleigh LOVED the cows! They were mooing at her and she would laugh and moo back at them. The whole day she was talking about the cows. "Moo Moo"<br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10811.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 358px; HEIGHT: 371px" height="371" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10811.jpg" width="342" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Then at the end we went up to where they have the crafts. We did ALOT of walking. Ryleigh did so well with it all. We only carried her for a little bit here and there. When we were up at the crafts, Ryleigh decided she was hungry. I was standing with my Bobby and Ryleigh waiting for my mom to purchase an item. Ryleigh walked up to some random stranger and tryed to grab her kettle corn bag! The lady was SUPER NICE and asked Ryleigh if she wanted some. Bobby and I both said, not thats ok we will get her some in a bit. Ryleigh was shaking her head yes and looking at the lady saying "Please!" So the nice lady opened her bag and let Ryleigh take a handful, then told Bobby to take a handful for the road for her. I was LMAO! Then after that my mom saw a lday she knew. She too had a kettle corn bag that she had for her granddaughter. Ryleigh walked over and again helped herself to some kettle corn.<br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10860.jpg" target="_blank"><img height="431" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10860.jpg" width="443" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10888.jpg" target="_blank"><img height="397" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10888.jpg" width="443" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10910.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 454px; HEIGHT: 389px" height="411" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10910.jpg" width="489" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10926.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 454px; HEIGHT: 331px" height="359" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10926.jpg" width="476" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10940.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 442px; HEIGHT: 335px" height="319" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10940.jpg" width="285" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10945.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 459px; HEIGHT: 348px" height="451" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10945.jpg" width="559" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After that we came home and Bobby and Ryleigh took a nap. We went back up for round 2 in the evening and met my inlaws there. Ryleigh was so excited to "bounce bounce" (Wait till she finds out what her mamaw got her for christmas...) Then she wanted to slide, so her cousin Olivia said she would help her up. Olivia had a hard time, so I took my shoes off and climbed up. Let me tell you that is HARD! Climbing with one hand and pushing a toddler up the ladder. After the 2nd time I physically couldnt have done that again!<br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10948.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 381px; HEIGHT: 332px" height="437" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10948.jpg" width="524" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10952.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 424px; HEIGHT: 323px" height="399" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10952.jpg" width="499" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC11002.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 427px; HEIGHT: 260px" height="304" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC11002.jpg" width="484" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC10982.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 421px; HEIGHT: 292px" height="361" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC10982.jpg" width="489" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After all that the inlaws went home and Bobby and I went back to the car to prepair for "the pretty's in the sky". We got our chairs, blankets, coats, and gloves and walked up the hill to get a good spot. For 2 1/2 hrs we sat on the hill in the cold waiting for the fireworks to start. That was the absolute BEST part of the day. Ryleigh ran up and down the hill, smiling and laughing and it was awsome. When it got time to watch the fireworks I told her "Theres going to be Pretty's in the sky soon. Its going to be very loud, but its ok, mommys got you!" I told her that several times. She would say "pretty's? Sky? Youd (loud) Mama" And I would say yep, its going to be loud. Bobby and I had a bet on what she was going to do. I chose she was going to "freak out" and we were going to have to make a mad dash to the car. He thought she would be fine, and she was! I lost :(<br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC11008.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 357px; HEIGHT: 248px" height="412" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC11008.jpg" width="593" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC11010.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 385px; HEIGHT: 336px" height="428" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC11010.jpg" width="493" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC11014.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 394px; HEIGHT: 358px" height="358" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC11014.jpg" width="348" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/?action=view&current=SDC11038.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 403px; HEIGHT: 342px" height="373" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/Kipani4jc/SDC11038.jpg" width="443" border="0" /></a>Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07049352417660579980noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952047387507141911.post-48790857458696263002008-09-29T19:53:00.003-05:002008-10-05T13:24:37.714-05:00Birthday Party<div>Ryleigh and I went with my mom to a birthday party.
