Red, White, Blue....and PINK!

Happy Independence Day, everyone!

Hope your entire week has been great!

Yes, she is wearing a pink shirt....

even on a red, white and blue holiday!

 Just in case you missed my last post

 about her obsession with pink

you may find it here.

♥♥♥

And yes, that is a Jessie doll from Toy Story in the background.

Jessie is her favorite toy - even Elsa and Hello Kitty
 have taken a back seat to Jessie.

Oh my, how she loves her Jessie!!!

The other day she was visiting just before Toy Story 4 came out

and my hubs asked her if she was excited to be seeing it...

she looked at him excitedly and then lost her little mind! 
She ran around the house smiling and screaming

JESSSSSIIIIIEEEEEE at the top of her little lungs.

She is a quiet child. This was unusual behavior.

She really DID lose her mind when he asked her about it.

And she ran so fast around the house she had forgotten
 the lip transition  where hardwood meets kitchen tile
AND FELL FLAT ON HER SWEET FACE. 

Now, she isn't a crier and she's really pretty tough - she looked up
 at her grandpa (she's not even three folks)  and said:

"Well, maybe freaking out about Jessie wasn't such a good idea."

We still aren't over laughing about her saying that.
She is so hilarious and so precocious!
Glad she wasn't truly hurt!

So - opening night of Toy Story 4 two weeks ago
 momma, daddy and toddler went to see it together as a family.

On the way there V was happily showing off her new
 "Tiny Baby Jessie" toy from her happy meal treat.

She outgrew her boots, so it was hot pink Wellies to the rescue!
(A cowgirl's gotta wear her boots!)

♥

She dressed up in her rootin' tootin' cowgirl outfit for the premier.

(She won the hearts of the entire theater I am told.)

She didn't take her eyes off the screen the entire time!

So if you haven't seen Toy Story 4 yet be sure to go see it soon -
but ONLY if you've seen the other three first!

It's not our very favorite - as my grand says:
 "There just wasn't enough Jessie in it."

But it is like visiting old friends - 
Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep - the whole gang was there!

We just loved it.
But no one loves Toy Story more than our grand.

I also loved the new movie "Yesterday" that's out!
It was FABULOUS!
Best movie I have seen in a long long time 


As always, thanks for visiting!

Hugs and smiles!

Her Favorite Color is PINK!

Hi, friends! Remember me?

Well, I sure hope so 'cuz I certainly remember you!

In fact,  I think about my blog friends every single day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought it was long overdue that I update you on some pics

 of my sweet grand girl in some of her special pink moments.

(I honestly don't think I have many pics of her NOT wearing pink.)

Let's just say this is a pink pic heavy post of catching up. : - )

Her bedroom is a pink explosion. 

Her shoes, coats, boots, jammies, tops, pants, headware -

all pink and pretty much the only color she ever wants to wear!!!! 

She's grown a bit since the last time you saw pics of her, hasn't she?

♥

She wore pink at her very first movie theater experience:

And when she dresses up as a princess and attends the symphony:

(Yeeeees, she is wearing a tiara. She's a princess!)

When choosing a new suit with unicorns on it for a trip to Florida

she must pick pink, and bonus for pink with unicorns:

(and has matching flip flops shown later)

And it is imperative that she wear pink whenever riding a unicorn!

Or when simply being the happiest kid on the planet:

Oh, wow - actually wearing something non-pink!

(Oh, wait, no, there's that pink bow!!)

Ah, here are those matching unicorn flipflops!

(She absolutely loved that scooter seen parked in Fla.)

And yes, she is wearing shiny pink beads. Every day is a holiday.)

Another fav - her pink sloth jammies

(with her matching pals Pierre and Snowball!)

I guess sloths are a thing now. Who knew?

She wears pink when being a diva studying her pretty face 

whilst looking into a pink hand held magnifying mirror

 while wearing her very special Hello Kitty glasses.

I just realized those glasses are about the same size

as the ones I wore in the late 70s, haha.

Mine weren't quite as "fabulous," though!

This one is from way back in December -

 but gotta love she wanted to hug the soft pink blanket at the store:

And yes, she played in the snow with pink head-to-toe!

And wore pink when she went to see the Zoo lights:

When she woke up soooooo early in the morning at her house

 to learn there really IS a Santa;

and brought her pretty pink ballet tutus because she is a

 good little girl, and asked so nicely for one!

 And maybe Mom let the rules slide and let a little girl 

have chocolate from her stocking before breakfast

and then a little girl got that chocolate mostly all on her face and tutu

but it was Christmas and it just didn't even matter! 

She yes, she mostly wears pink when she's hanging upside.

And her face turns really bright pink when doing so too long!

There is almost always pink showing up at a tea party:

Or when eating the brightest pink ice cream in the world:

(I cannot believe my daughter allowed it, haha.)

Some of you may remember how much this grand daughter's momma hates the color pink, right?
My daughter prefers to wear moody earth tones - yet has finally realized she cannot win this pink war for now. V's favorite color will change soon enough to something not nearly as fun...sniff...

But I must share the funniest thing my grand daughter said recently:

I asked her what her favorite color was (cuz it is so fun to hear her shout a resounding "PINK!"
So then I asked her what her Momma's favorite color is and she shouted louder "NOT PINK!"

As always, thank you for your visit!

Hugs and prayers to each and every one of you!

xxoo,

Pretty in Pink

Well, I am a day late for Beverly's 

PINK SATURDAY linky party,

 but golly, late is better than not, aye?

If you haven't visited there,

HOW SWEET THE SOUND blog

 is a pleasant one to read.

It's been a while since I've had the chance to post,

sorry about that!

I have missed you all very much!

But I assure you that life is going well

 in every way - so no worrying about me, ok?

I am purging, organizing, crafting and keeping quite busy

 with Lenten choir music practice. 

♫ ♪

Oh, and we also have had (and will be having)
all sorts of birthdays in our family lately,

so there's that keeping me busy, too!

I have saved the best pink pic for last!

Here is my sweet girl posing

in her Mrs. Potato Head Pink Glasses!

Yes, those silly "glasses" are totally upside down!

Yes, she has such sweet glowing pink cheeks

and a pink tongue and pink lips, too.

And that smile - oh, be still my heart. 

As always, thank you for your visit!

Hugs, prayers and smiles

♥

ps: anyone notice my new blog header?

Sweet Baby in a Pink Hat

Greetings to everyone!

Just popping in to share an adorable pic of the grand

in a sweet pink gingham and white sun hat

 touching grass for the first time.

She just turned 8 months.

She has fattened up beautifully and is the picture of health.

She has two bottom teeth, is crawling and occassionally

 pulling herself up to a standing position.

She giggles and is so happy - and sooooooooo reminds me

 of her sweet and funny momma when she was a baby!

♥

Like the way she sleeps once she learned to roll over.

(Just exactly like her momma when she was this size.)

I just love her cute pink pig pajamas!

Here she is in pink again- 'tho another grainy pic sorry

 - back lighting is awful in pics-

wearing a cute pink bib with bugs on it.

Some of you may remember her nickname is

"Baby Bug."

I snapped this pic fast with my phone the other day

because I caught her in the beginning stages about to make

what we lovingly refer to as "poop face."

i just ABSOLUTELY adore that face!

Her lips disappear and she kinda stares.

Oh my, yes, we do know what that means, don't we?

Let's just say that I don't think potty training

 will be difficult with this one, either.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

We're appreciating your prayers lately with our sad troubles.

 And to top it off: yesterday I think I broke my toe. 

Please: keep those wonderful prayers coming, we need them.

XXOOXXOOXXOO

I hope you all are having a wonderful Lenten Season.

I miss you, and hopefully will be back soon.

Until then, enjoy springtime!

God bless!

Pretty Pink Valentine Decor

Well, St. Valentine's Day has come and gone for another year

but I couldn't stand the thought of putting my romantic pinks

away for another year till I shared just a few of my pretties.

I have used red many times over the years,

but this year I did subtle, I did less, and I did soft pretty pinks.

I don't know, perhaps I used only pink this time

because usually it is snowing in February here in Ohio;

this time it was warm..... reminding me of sweet spring

just around the corner!

I had a pretty tablescape for six all ready for 

a lovely afternoon tea that never happened.

Life has me so busy lately, and I am sorry for that,

as I so love to host an afternoon tea for my friends.

I grab a cuppa on the go

or sip while working these days.

I must remedy that soon....spring is around the corner....

oh, truly that is the very best of tea party seasons.....

at least for us pink lovers!

As always, thank you for visiting!
