The Antics of Aniston

With all I've had going on lately I feel like Aniston hasn't been getting enough blog time. I've taken quite a few pictures on my iPhone and I wanted to share. 

Aniston loves to play games (literally and figuratively). My mom bought her Perfection while she was there and I bought her Operation awhile back at Target. She loves both, as long as the batteries aren't in. They "scare her to deff".


Aniston has always been a sleeper. Getting her to sleep is sometimes hard, but once she is, she's out and for a long time. She'll sleep until noon if you let her. I let her stay home from school with me a few weeks back and she decided she would take her nap in the living room floor so she could watch her "toon toons". She fell asleep and Gunner and Daisy decided they would cuddle with her! 


She is VERY into music, and loves to "Rock Out"! She wants music played loud and she wants to repeat songs OVER & OVER & OVER! Here she is singing in the car with her "mikey phone".. aka a straw!


She is also such a girly girl! She'll ask me for my purse to get gum, and EVERY TIME I give in, she finds my makeup bag and helps herself. I'm driving, so she knows I can't get it back. She is a pro at holding the mirror and putting the "color box" (eyeshadow compact) in her lap.

Notice the band band that's falling and the sequin belt!


She loves being at my volleyball practices and games. She thinks she is part of the team, and so does everyone else. She is quite popular at all the games, and gets quite a rise out of the fans when she cheers. 

Here she is modeling her very own medal she got when our team won 2nd place in the tournament.


One of her favorite things to do is watch movies. She also loves popcorn. She loves movies and popcorn even more when she partakes in our bed! She knows the rule.. she has to stay on Daddy's side so she doesn't get my spot all "crumbly".


She also loves to help me around the house. She usually ends up making everything I do more complicated and more time consuming. She's good at making a disaster in the kitchen with water while she helps me do the dishes. I end up having to reload the dishwasher while she's not looking and completely redo her drawers after she puts up her laundry, but I love it that she is so excited to help.. as long as its her idea. If I ASK her to do something... its Days of Aniston's Life!


Another thing she loves to do is go to "Chunky Cheese" and spend "gold money". I took her one afternoon a few weeks back because she was being really bad. I know this sounds weird, but here is my rationale. She was really bad for about three day, then finally on the fourth day she was OK. I took her to Chuck E Cheese and explained to her that when she's good and she's a big girl, she gets to do fun things. When she's bad and acts like a baby, no dice. Since then, she's been a different kid. I think it worked.. Randy thinks it was a coincidence. If she does something "big girlish".. she'll say to me... "Mommy, I think Chuck E would like that!"


Here is a photobooth picture of us from the same day... 


And her playing.. she just looks SO big and grown!


This was her on the day she found out she was going to be a big sister to a new baby sister! She looks exceptionally cute before school so I snapped this while we were walking in....


She also loves to go to Samurai with Mal & I to eat. She loves the rice, soup and the "meggage cookies". Here is a picture Mal snapped of us while we waited for our food.


Another of her favorite things is getting her "ails" painted. I've taken her a few times to get pedicures with me and she's hooked! That's my girl! She told her daddy, the night we found out we're having another girl, that she really needed a pedicure because her feet were all "crackeled up". He looked over at me and said.. "oh boy, we're gonna have another one!". That's right daddy.. save up! Here is a picture she took of herself this week when we went to get Mani/Pedi's. 


She had her first soccer "praftice". She was decked out. Sweet Misty bought her soccer shin guards 2 years ago at her birthday and they still fit and we can use them. She's also found soccer cleats and soccer shorts at garage sales for us! We HAD to get her a "LOVE FOR SOCCER" shirt at Target last week. Her team is the Go-Go's and they're going to be pink and black! We're loving it! Her coach, Noelle, is super sweet and so great with the girls. Here is a picture of her posing and showing me her water bottle. That was a BIG deal! She loved getting to take her own water bottle. 


I'll post more pictures from practice when I have my camera. Oh how I love that girl and her ways! I can't imagine sharing the love I have for that girl! Everyone tells me you grow more love, but I just can't see how its possible! Her daddy and I are so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy, loving, caring, smart, and fun baby girl! Landrie will have a great example to learn from!
