I had a lot of fun Trick-or-Treating tonight. As you can see, I went as Jessie from Toy Story. I loved going to the houses and saying, "Trick or Treating" and they just gave me handfuls of candy!!! It was great. I want to do it every night, but Mommy said no. Here are some of my pictures and all of my candy!!! I can't wait to eat it all!!!

My 3rd Birthday Party

2011-04-26T22:37:00.000-07:00

We had my birthday party over the weekend and my Mommy and Daddy even rented a bounce house. I loved it!!!

We decorated the tables...

All my younger cousins helped me color Easter eggs

Then, we decorated our own Birthday/Easter cupcakes how we wanted!!!

This is what I wanted, icing!!!

Even better, icing with sprinkles!!!

You can't have too many sprinkles! Then, the party took a turn for the worse!!! The boys attacked Aunt Kari!!!

I helped her clean it off and pretended she was wearing lipstick...Come to think of it, I don't believe I have ever seen her wear it before! ;-) She helped by giving me some too.

Then, it was time to open gifts!!! Everybody was so nice!!!

They bought me a Mickey Mouse area rug for my bathroom!!!

Aww, it's so cute!!! I love it!!!

Then, they surprised me!!!

I got a Barbie Jeep!!!

I drove around and even took my cousin Tyler for a spin!!!

It was a great party and Thank You to all who were able to attend. I had a lot of fun and appreciate all the gifts!!! My birthday is in 4 days!!!

Beach Day

2011-01-02T07:49:00.000-08:00

Earlier this week, my Mommy and Daddy took me to one of my favorite places, the beach!!! I love the beach and I love to take my bucket and find neat shells and rocks.

I am exploring with Mommy

Finding rocks and shells makes me thirsty!

I love to build sand castles with my Daddy

Then, Daddy and I go play in the water together!!!

I had a lot of fun at the beach! When you come to my house to see me, I will show you the beach too! ;-)

Christmas Morning: Santa Claus Came To See Me!!!

2010-12-25T14:38:00.001-08:00

My Mommy and Daddy told me to think about what I would tell Santa Claus I wanted for Christmas when I went to see him. I wanted a bike with training wheels! I was very brave and set on his lap all by myself and told him what I wanted and that I had been a good girl... Phase One was done! ;-)

Phase Two: Bake him some cookies and milk to keep him happy and strong!

Phase Three: Leave them by the fire place and keep watch for him in the night sky...I hope he didn't mind sharing some of his cookies with me!

I kept watch but eventually I fell asleep...The stockings were hung and I had done my part, it was now up to him!!!

The next morning I woke up and Santa Claus had come to see me!!! I was so excited!!!

He ate my milk and cookies...

And Brought Me My Bike With Training Wheels!!!

Santa Claus even left me a note!!!

I love my bike, now I just need to learn to ride it!!!

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!

Leilani & Santa Claus

2010-12-18T23:15:00.000-08:00

I even helped make Mommy & Daddy's pizza too...

My First Waterslide

2010-09-24T20:13:00.000-07:00

While onboard the big ship, I went on my first waterslide. My Daddy said it was a perfect match!! I love sliding and I love water. He was right!!! I REALLY love the waterslides!!!

Then, Daddy had me do something more daring...to go down them on my tummy!!! I was brave and when I was done, I LOVED IT EVEN MORE!!!

I love waterslides!!!

My New Swingset

2010-05-11T22:49:00.000-07:00

I asked for gift cards for my 2nd birthday to go towards my Mommy and Daddy buying me a swingset. I was so excited when I realized what my Papa and Daddy were building over the weekend was my very own slide and swings!!! So, I present my swingset and me playing on it over the last several days...

My new clubhouse and swingset just built

A ladder I can climb on because I am a big girl

Yes...sometimes I get excited and take my clothes off to climb things ;)

It has its own chalkboard

I love to sit and look out my window

Then, Mommy added my own personal touches, Surfboards and my name

I love to swing

I love to slide

a good landing

soooo much fun

cant get enough of the swing

my other swing...

The drawback is that all the sliding and swinging can wear me out.

I was so relaxed on the swing, I just fell asleep!!!!

Thank you to everybody for your gifts!!!

Happy Mother's Day Mommy

Fun At Disneyland

2010-01-20T21:25:00.000-08:00

Last week, we went on a cruise with Mommy, Daddy, Mema, and Papa. Since we got off the big boat in Long Beach, my parents surprised me as we were only 20 miles from my favorite place. We went to CA Adventure at the Disneyland Resort. I rode one of my favorite rides, the carousel.

And...I got to give Mr. Incredible a high five...He was nice!!!!

For those of you curious, this was my 10th visit to Disneyland! I love it!!!

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT!!!

2009-12-29T22:37:00.000-08:00

After seeing Santa Claus since Thanksgiving in parades, tv shows, the mall, the grocery store, Disneyland (where I got too close for comfort), I saw he visited Bailey in South Carolina, the unthinkable happened to me!!! Santa came to my house!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

He brought me a play kitchen, lots of food, lots of dishes and pots and pans, A Barbie quad, a Little Mermaid tricycle that blows bubbles, Barnie DVD's, and a stroller, high chair, and bassinet for my babies! I must have been a good girl!!!

Happy Halloween

2009-10-31T20:29:00.000-07:00

For Halloween, I went as Squirt from Finding Nemo... This was my first Halloween where I could trick or treat without being held, and not nursing. (Nursing on mom while trick or treating is awkward). I was too small last year... But, I had a lot of fun this year!

For the record...I searched everywhere and never found Nemo!!!

Our Furry Visitor

2009-09-24T06:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I was playing in the backyard and came inside for a few minutes. I kept motioning outside, and Mommy saw what I saw. The neighbor's daughters have a lit'l bunny rabbit and it crawled under the fence to visit me... He was very cute and I even put some lettuce out for him to eat. But, he went back under the fence to his home.

I am going to keep a lookout for him!!!

Pinata Fun

2009-05-05T06:00:00.000-07:00

My parents had a pinata for my birthday party. It was a lot of fun
and I really enjoyed hitting it as you can tell...

The other kids waited in line and watched me hit it.
They all hoped it would break open soon!!!

My Lit'l friends hit it...

And my bigger friends...

It finally broke open

I sat on top of the pinata claiming my share...

But the kids took all the candy...

But, I found some for me!!!

It was a lot of fun!!!

My party theme was Minnie Mouse. I have included some pictures of my party for now, but I will add more of the pinata and me eating my very first cake. It was yummy and messy! I should have new pictures all week!!!

One Year Ago...

One Year Ago at 7:15 pm, God blessed us with a beautiful baby girl named Leilani. It is so hard to believe that a year has flown by and our little three pound fragile baby is becoming a lit'l toddler now. She is getting so big! She has blessed us with an incredible year of late nights, early mornings, laughter, pure joy, dirty diapers, spit ups, peeing on us, throwing food, feeling safe in Daddy's arms, and lots of kisses.

What a year it has been...Happy Birthday baby girl!!! Mommy and Daddy love you sooo much and we treasure you!!!
