It was nice enough the other afternoon that the M & M's didn't need any "winter gear" (which Matea HATES) so we played outside and I took some pictures....Big Mack was running around so much that all the snaps I got from him look a little CrAzY :) So you just get Matea today....

These are my new faves of our sweet princess...

A friend once told me that she thought the pictures of Miss. M where she is looking away from the camera are the most beautiful...agreed :)

People often say to me "Watch out in a few years, yikes you are going to be in trouble!"

When people say that I immediately think to myself--"What are you talking about...in a few years?!? I am in trouble with this one right now!"

And when I first saw this picture...

It became my new favourite (this week)
I can see her as a teenage girl -- eek -- but I know she'll be great, strong willed (a nice way of saying stubborn) and a little sassy (like her Momma)
She is beautiful.

i like to call this....

13 seconds of birth control.

Just kidding, I think she is teething, and has a scratchy throat....and is (according to The Nana) my twin when I was her age....HA!

My happily ever after....

We have been crazy busy! I swear everyday since our Spring Break has been packed full of blog-worthy action...and still no blog post from me, right? I got nothing....maybe...absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Here is some M & M cutness for you :)

Ten (Plus) Things You Never Knew About Miss. Matea....

Sometimes I feel like I never blog about Miss. Matea...

She loves to hold hands, she is forever taking my hand and wanting me to go this way or that.
She is a COMPLETE dare devil! She currently sports a beautiful array of bruises on her back after falling off a chair (like a little person chair) and somehow landing on another chair that was the exact same height?!?
She loves ANYTHING chocolate.
Even though she is over two years old, she still wakes up in the middle of the night--and has a PARTY in her room, and then falls back to sleep.
She is 100%, complete DIVA.
While she is absolutely adorable...she is by far one of the grossest kids I have ever met! For example, today she ate some crushed up chocolate SOMETHING off the floor of...wait for it....SAFEWAY - ugh.
She hates having her hair done...with a passion. It actually takes a Dora show, and at least one GOOD snack to get a few pony tails in.
She enjoys playing by herself. Often, when we have play dates at the house she will play with her friends for a little bit, and then head to the quietest room to play by herself.
She wears ALOT of pink, like a crazy amount. I am quite confident that when she is old enough, she will rebel against this particular color altogether, until then...I can't help it, it's all so cute!
Her brother is by far, her best friend.
She love, love, loves to read books...and sort of destroy them...sometimes.
She is so stubborn!
I actually thought that my second child wouldn't be as much of a tornado as my first child...wrong. Total tiny tornado.
She is so pretty, even with a toilet in the background :)
