Slideshow for Grandma and Grandpa Cloud

Presley received a big b-day present full of clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Cloud. They wanted to see her in the outfits because they wont get to see her in them in real life. It was hard to make P-lady change clothes over and over but it turned out cute! Enjoy:)

I've Been tagged

Linds tagged me, so here goes. I am supposed to list 6 quirks about myself.

1) I have to brush my teeth as soon as I wake up.

2) I hate humidity, makes my hair wavy and my face sweat:(

3) I hate clutter ( I throw all junk away) Ben has lost several items that way

4) I don't like to grocery shop, I want to get in and out as fast as I can, I hate all of those dumb shoppers wondering around slowly in the store (you are in my way!).

5) I hate to take Ben shopping with me. He has way different taste in clothes and always tries to get my to buy things I don't like.

6) I hate wrinkles. Why do we have to get old??(I curse the small lines on my face daily)

(ok Tiff, Amy, Mel and Brandi-- you are tagged (your turn))

The Day After - "Let them eat cake"

This was too funny not to post. I tried to give Presley lunch the day after her birthday and she spotted the cake on the counter and started crying and wouldn't eat. So I let her out of her chair and she ran over to the counter where the cake was and started screaming and reaching for it. I quickly grabbed my camera and luckily caught part of it. Too Cute (she takes after her dads sweet tooth!!!)

Presleys 1st Birthday Party

The day started off fun for Presley, she got several birthday calls, I made her eggs for breakfast and Ben gave her a ride in the laundry basket (one of her favorite things to do!) I took her to McDonald's for french fries with a friend and her baby girl in the afternoon. We came home and she watched Annie then got all dressed up in her birthday outfit that Ben bought her. I made Mexican food and invited a few of our friends over to celebrate (mom you would have been proud of my enchiladas, you taught me well). We had cake and ice cream, Presley ate her entire mini cake!!!! Opened all of her great presents (thanks to many of you:)), played for a few hours and finally went to bed an hour and a half past her bed time! I thought she was going to have a hard time sleeping because of all the sugar, but I guess her belly was good, she had a great night sleep and even slept in a little bit (hurray P-Lady)!!!

Presley is 1 today!!

I can't believe its been 1 year already. Time seems to go so fast. I feel so lucky that I have this beautiful, perfect, special girl in my life. I can't imagine my life without her, I love her so much. Happy Birthday Presley Love Cloud.

My new hair

Surprise, I cut my hair again. Too bad it doesn't look like the photo I took to the hair dresser, but its growing on me just the same:)

Dancing Queen

Grandparents, this is for you because we are so far away and you are missing the cute stages P-lady is going through. Presley not only has started to really grasp walking, she recently started dancing without holding onto anything, she's a little shaky but she is doing so well. She loves the "Doodle Bops" on TV and was dancing to their singing. So cute. Enjoy!

Kayaking

We finally got our paddles in and took the kayak out for a spin. It was alot of fun. I was a little scared at first because we had to take turns going alone while one stayed behind and took care of P-lady. But it was the best feeling to be so free out on the water, plus it was a great arm workout. I can't wait to get back out. If only we could figure out an easier way to lift it on our car. I had to climb all over it wile Ben held it up. Our neighbors all came outside and watched like it was the funniest thing they had ever seen. Glad we could put a show on for the neighborhood!

I will tear anything up that is in reach of my little hands

I stepped out of the room for a second and Presley had terrorized my fake house plant. I should have been mad but she was so darn cute and so involved in her plans that she didn't notice me. Gotta love her!

We Got Annie!

We just had to post Presley's favorite past time. She is in LOVE with the movie Annie and she cant seem to get close enough to the TV when I let her watch the movie (as you can see in the photo). (Who would have thought that an 11 month old could pay attention to a movie like this??)

Labor Day

For Labor day we hung out at home most of the day. Then later that afternoon we met some of our friends at a park to BBQ (one of Ben's favorite things to do). Presley really enjoyed herself. She loves to run around and hang on everyone. She is certainly not shy. She tried so hard to walk everywhere. I guess it wont be too long until she has walking mastered and then I will be in real trouble (chasing her everywhere)!!!
