The Adventures of a Toothpick on a Mennonite Steamboat : For Alayna! ;)

So recently, my sister keeps telling me how much Alayna loves looking through the pictures that I post! She also says that Alayna remembers and talks about all the stuff she and I did together while I was up for 2 and a half months,and how she can't wait till I go up again with my family in a week!!(YAY!!) here is what she was telling her mommy,

starting off with,when Chila comes"we gonna have so much fun again""And we gonna go out on d swing and chila gonna push me on my bike. And we gonna run around da house again. And 'ayna gonna laugh and laugh and 'most pee myself!"

and of course it just melts my heart!!<3

Yes,we did all of that.

the crazy thing is that the first month or more that I was there, she would boss me around and yell at me! but through all that I tried to be patient with her. knowing that she probably felt intruded on, since i was mostly staying at HER house most of the time!;)

then the last month, she got over it!And we both had a lot more fun:)

So this post is especially for Alayna!girl,we made a lot of memories together and I love you so much even if you weren't too sure of me right at first!:)<3

Remember how much time we spent outside!? and how often i'd tell you to pose for a picture,and you'd 'nicely'(at least sometimes!)cheese?

you absolutely loved the swing!

and I felt so bad the time you fell off!!:/ and while you cried you kept saying 'chila, uh need a pepe';)

also when we'd go outside we'd kick this huge bouncy ball around!

But then sometimes you'd get annoyed at me for kicking it too hard or something and...

would go put it behind the bushes and tell me "not get it,chila!"

We both had fun taking silly pics together!

ha! this pic with our eyes shut reminds me of how you'd pretend to make food on little pieces of wood that were out on the lawn and then make sure I had my eyes closed while you prayed "Got is gwaet,got is food,and vee tank him fo our food..."

I tried to make good use of my time while you played by studying my drivers manual and then you'd sneak off with the camera!

you like traveling,and i like sitting beside you! we'd go over to Tio Patrick's sometimes,

and go wade through the river!

all the mail we'd bring in!

you often laughed at how i would run across the road with you on my hip!

Helping mommy and I make chili soup.

Tremendita!

Interrupting me while I sewed!

eating grapes together!

I got you to look through a photo album while your mommy and I cleaned!:)

And then, when your baby brother came!! at first it was hard for you to get used to him too and all the attention he got!but, you soon took on your big sister rule pretty well!
