The Gypsies

Honestly these day's I feel like a complete gypsy. Mommy and I are always on the go. We went to visit Jido and Teyta then we came to visit Auntie Mona...do you think we will ever stay home? I'm seeing no chance in sight for this so called place we call home lol. We are off to see Nana and Papa in Florida on the 10th of June. I am sure that trip is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!

We drove down to Auntie Mona's house this afternoon and boy ol boy is that a drive. I wanted to get out and run beside the car, I didn't think we were ever going to get there. We finally arrived around 4p.m. or so and auntie wasn't home yet, she had to go pick up Yaya from school and then come home. We waited for Sammy to get home and then decided what to make for dinner.

Yaya was so excited to see me, I didn't think that I was ever going to walk on my own two feet again. She carried me the entire night, even up and down the stairs. I love yaya, auntie, ammo and Sammy. I didn't get to see Reem much, she was really busy with her school entrance exams and ap tests to really sit down and play with me, but I guess I love her =).

Good food, Good friends who could ask for more?

Well, we had a pretty good day. Mommy, daddy and I just ran a few errands and hung out around the house. We have been invited to auntie Tiffany's house for dinner. I am totally stoked to go over and hang out with the kid's and play around the house.

Auntie had some friends over from Utah and thought it would be nice to get together and have a good time. Ferris, Khansa, Ahmed and Mohammad were still here and auntie Tiffany's mom and grandma were visiting too. The house was filled with tons of people and tons of great food.

All the ladies hung out around the kitchen laughing and joking as to how many arabs it took to grill out. If you went outside to see the amount of arabs it was amazing. I would have to say that there were at least 7 and we still ate late. We do everything on AST. We had the most amazing kefta, auntie won't tell mommy what her secret is so we will only get that one when we go visit. It was getting late so we had to head home, I was exhausted from playing and eating so much. I fell asleep on the way home and slept all the way through until morning. Boy that was a good time and I hope to have many more with all of our family and friends.

Start of a great three day weekend

Friday night auntie Saffia came out for dinner. Mommy and I just planned what we were going to have and hung our around the house. Daddy was up for an early morning meeting and came back around lunch time and took a phone call from the house and then headed out to the Mosque for Friday prayers. Daddy came back from Friday prayers, took a few phone calls and helped mommy and I finalize what we were going to have for dinner. We ended up making ahi tuna and rice pilaf, the rice turned out pretty good, but I think the fish was a little over done for my liking. I was so tired by the time auntie left, I headed straight to bed and fell fast asleep.

Saturday was a pretty uneventful day for me, I woke up around 8am had a yummy breakfast that mommy made for me. Daddy got to sleep in until about 11:15 or so

Why pay money to go to the water park?

Today I had to visit Dr. Kumar for my vaccinations and boy ol boy I was not a happy girl. In order for him to get back on my good side he had to give me some cool shades. I couldn't believe that I looked AMAZING in these glasses, but hello what don't I look good in lol. Ok I am just like daddy in my thinking that I am Creme De La Creme!

I think that I can forgive Dr. Kumar for poking me with that nasty shot, but only because of the glasses.

Mommy and I went and ran a few errands and then came home to find that it was blazing hot outside and I really could have used a cool down. Mommy thought about taking me to Frisco Athletic Club to swim, but hmmm I guess I had another idea, run for free in the neighbors sprinklers. I had a blast, the only thing that bothered me was the fact that my diaper almost exploded due to the water.

Mommy brought me inside and gave me a shower and put me in my pj's just so I could hang out around the house and be comfortable for the rest of the evening. I had a great day with mommy and playing in the sprinklers. I love you mommy and thank you for allowing me to just be a kid!

A week in review!

Friday - May 15, 2009
So we had an early morning flight because daddy got a great buy one get one deal to Albuquerque. Teyta hasn't been feeling well and Jido is having some problems too so we thought it was time to go for a short visit.

We arrived to find Jido circling the airport while waiting on us. Mommy installed the car seat and off we went. Teyta was waiting with baited breath for us to arrive. First two seconds in the house and she was all over me. My nickname for Teyta is the kissing bandit hehehehe.

Wednesday down...ahhhh almost Thursday!

Today I had a blast at soccer, it was my last class and I got some cool prizes for completing my class successfully. I got a soccer whistle, little rubber soccer bouncy ball, a ribbon and a certificate.


Here is a picture of my ribbon and certificate --->


I almost forgot that I got a soccer tattoo too, now that was totally cool. I honestly didn't notice that I got it at first until later in the day I was sitting on the floor and saw it and fought to get it off. I kept moving my leg, but it just wouldn't go away and I also kept rubbing it to to see if it would go away and did it...NO! You all have got to see this tattoo, it is RAD!

Visiting with Friends

Today mommy and I went to visit Adedayo and the kid's. Mommy found out on Sunday that Adedayo is pregnant again and is due in July. Jeleel got into an accident the middle of April so he has been taking her car and she is stuck at home with two kid's and swelling feet. We had a nice visit, but it had to come to an end. Mommy and had to get home and fix dinner and pick up around our pit.

I forgot to put this picture up yesterday and I just wanted to share it.

If you all ever need to hide your food from your parents do this...--->

This picture is of my chicken that mommy thought I ate, but I stuck it down my shirt. It's a huge surprise when mommy goes to take my clothes off for a bath time. I guess you could say that I was saving it for a snack later lol.

Best Mother's Day Ever

Well, mommy had a pretty good mother's day. Daddy and I got her an orchid plant --->












Nana, Papa and I got her a nice flower arrangement
that we had delivered to the house --->

Daddy started her day off with breakfast in bed. I woke up and gave her tons of hugs and kisses. She made me breakfast, changed my butt and we played around the house a bit. I took a 3 hour nap and mommy took a nap too.

We headed out to Sam's to check out oranges and some other fruits. On our way home daddy asked if we could please go to Lowe's to check out some plants for the garden. We went to Lowe's and got a tomato and jalapeno plant and a wireless keyless entry for the garage. Mommy made a joke that she got it this year for Mother's Day and next Mother's Day daddy will install it hahahahaha!

Deemah's Day

Ok this morning we started out with soccer and I have to say that we are all shaping up quickly. Daddy and mommy both took me this week and we all had a blast. In this picture coach was teaching us how to kick the cones over and to put them back up with our foot.

Soccer is so much fun, I am sad that next week is my last week. I wonder if mommy and daddy will enroll me in it again.


After my great day at soccer, we had to prepare for Deema's B-day party which is at 1pm.

We headed home and I decided that I should take a little nap before we head out to the party because I was tired from soccer. I took a VERY little nap, maybe half an hour so when I got up mommy decided that we should just leave a little early and see if auntie Tiffany needed any help with anything.

So we arrived at the house around 12:30 or so in order to help out and we found that auntie had completed everything early except the hats that were supposed to be cones for candy. We worked on the hats, typing the strings so they could be tied around our heads...I must admit they were pretty dang cute. I think we have some sample pictures of the hats on the kid's. Let me see if I can find one.

Yeah it's Friday

Ok well, we have another week under out belts. Can you believe it's May? I am telling you this year is going by so quickly, soon it will be fall, winter and the start of another new year. We didn't do much today, just hung out around the house and went for a walk. Daddy and I played in the back yard for a bit and he tried to snap some pictures of me, but as usual I don't stand still.

Here I am walking around the yard with no shoes on....hmmm wonder who's side I get that from?

I also have to make a comment on my flash dance headband thing I have going on hahahaha..."What a feeling."

I missed Thursday

I was so tired from all that I did yesterday that I totally flaked on my blog. It was a day full of walking and running. Mommy took me to the mall and I walked the entire mall and checked out every store.


Me checking out blankets and a sofa at Pottery Barn ---->







<----Me checking out stuff at Brookstone, getting daddy day idea's. Daddy sure does love that store.









And last but not least... ----> Taking a break outside Holister, by this time my little legs were dog tired.

You would think that by this time my day would be over, but mom had other plans for me. We headed home and I took a VERY short nap and then I had to help her get dinner ready. We made dinner, ate and then went out for another walk to the park. By the time I got to the park I was rested and then I ran and played on the slide. I love that slide, I wanna give it a big hug. Daddy and mommy let me walk all the way back to the house oh and along the way I found a mud puddle to play in...yeah mommy not so happy about that. We made it home, I took my bath and headed off to sleepy time.

The week is half gone

Ok honestly the week is half gone and I feel as though we haven't accomplished much at all. Mommy was up early to head over to auntie Tiffany's house to watch the kid's while she took her sister in law to have her check up with the ob/gyn. I stayed home with daddy and had a really good time. He fixed me some chocolate chip waffles. Daddy changed my butt and my clothes and we ran around the house playing until mommy came home. Mommy came home at around 11 or so and daddy had to run to a meeting in Irving.

We went to border's books to look at a book that mommy wanted. We also headed over to the library to return my elmo cd's mama checked out for me. Tomorrow I need to remind mommy that we need to go to Khols and return the clothes that she bought a few days back.

I have to say that mommy made an awesome dinner tonight! She made southwest turkey burgers with sweet potato fries. Daddy was in love with it and said it was a hit. I will have her post the recipe on here tomorrow. Ok I am off to bed as I am tired and worn out.

Monday - Tuesday blues

Well, Monday was pretty uneventful. Mommy and I did get out to take a walk around the new school down the street and through the neighborhood. I was exhausted and was in bed before 8 and mommy was in bed at 8, she wasn't feeling really well.

Tuesday was a pretty good day, we got out of the house a bit. Mommy called auntie Tiffany to see if she wanted to get out and about a bit, but she is staying shut in the house too. Mommy and I took a little walk and came back to hang out around the house. We ate dinner and all just relaxed around the livingroom.

Sunday sweet Sunday

Sunday is the end of the week and we are about to embark on a new week filled with exciting adventures and things to destroy. Again daddy had to work so we didn't do much of anything. Mommy and I did make spinach pies for daddy and played around the house. It was a little down day. We took a walk to the park that is at the new elementary school at the end of the block, it was fun but wet and dirty. I got my pants all dirty and played in the water puddle.

Is it MONDAY yet!

What can we say about Saturday...hmmmm daddy worked all day as his trouble from Friday carried over to Saturday and Sunday.

Mommy took me to soccer practice in the morning, which was bare due to the swine flu. There were only three of us in the class and I have to say that one of the dad's was really how do I say viewed himself in stately splendor? Oh yes pompous! OOPS did I say that out loud, sometimes my inner voice comes out when I don't want it to.

We made it out to Costco, did you have to ask if we made it to Costco this weekend...of course not because come rain or shine we always make it to Costco. We made it to Costco and honestly it was raining so hard, so hard the power went out. We headed home to finish cooking our grape leaves and wait out the storms. It stormed all evening and throughout the night too.

Big shoes to fill, but I can handle it!

As the old Chinese proverb says "A picture is worth a thousand words!" Need I say more ---->
These are some big shoes to fill, but I think I can handle it.





Honestly I was looking forward to the weekend, but when it came I wanted it to be OVER! We have been going crazy with being in the house all this time due to swine flu. Mommy and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. I haven't been able to play at the park due to this flu thing has come about.

Daddy worked late because he had some issues at the office. We usually go out to dinner on Friday's, but with daddy's schedule and issues going on mommy decided to cook. Honestly mommy was tired and could have used a night out with me and daddy, but we didn't get it...Oh well maybe next week.
