Birthday Girl

Jayla turned 3 yesterday! I can't believe my little girl is 3 already. When we moved the Florida she was just 3 months old and we said she will be 3 years old when we move, it seemed so far away! And now she's 3...looks like graduating is coming up next!

For those of you who don't get to see my little curly haired tornado on a daily basis I'll let you know what she's like. First thing is the morning Jayla demands chocolate milk and cartoons. But that's about all she eats. This child does not eat or sleep...or STOP!! She's go go go. She loves story time, play grounds and running out the front door every chance she gets (and that did happen when dad was supposed to watching her and he "closed his eyes for just a minute!") She is very good with her little sister, adores little Jordan and cries for Daddy to come home all day long. She's such a girly girl and loves to dress up in her princess dresses with high heels but every night we have to frog hunting. She's so sweet and some times comes up and hugs me and tells me that she loves me, but she also has little horns that hold up that halo. She is the most stubborn, strong willed child I have ever met, but when it comes down to it we know that she loves us and she knows that we love her so so much!

This year Jayla had a Mickey/Minnie Mouse birthday party. I made a mickey cake, mickey cheese and crackers, mickey suckers, and mickey or minnie ears for all of her guests. I had some games planned to play outside but they wanted to play on the play ground. It was so cute to see her smiling and chasing around all of her friends. The we had a scavenger hunt to find the suckers, played pin the bow of Minnie and had cake! I wish we had a bigger place. We ended up having 28 people in our little apartment so we didn't have much space to move around. But Jayla had a great time. It was so nice of all of our friends to come and they gave Jayla such nice presents. She loved them all! When we asked her what she wanted for her birthday she told us a piggy band and a sword. I'm not sure where she came up with those but when she saw the wrapped presents she asked us which one was her piggy bank...good thing I got her one or I would have felt really bad!

Happy Birthday to our AMAZING little girl...We Love You!!
