By my ownself

By my own self is one of the many sayings from Ray.
She's a very independent little girl who can do it all by her own self. Which of course makes mommy really happy, because her big sister is not so much of the by my own self kind of kid.

Miss by my own self recently had a birthday in December. Our baby turned 4, and to her she is such a big girl and so much has changed in her opinion.
She tells us her hair is longer, she's smarter, she can swim by her own self, she's much faster and the list goes on and on.

She's still quite the little gymnast and still breaks out a cartwheel when the opportunity presents itself.

As sad as it is I think she's finally lost interest in the wizard of oz. I never thought this day would come, especially after I spend months trying to find her the retired polly pocket emerald city on ebay, being outbid numerous times.
Her new love is her baby alive "Malory" she is completely obsessed with this baby. 
The doll is literally rotting from the inside out because she feeds her everything. She is big into diapers for this doll and thank goodness due to kids you tube we found a much cheaper alternative to baby alive diapers. We use preemie ones from Walmart :)
She loves pre-school and is now writing her name very well. 

For her birthday we took her to frozen on ice, and went to dinner afterwards. We went with some very dear friends of ours, and Ray was so happy to spend her big day with her best little buddy Ava. Ashlee of course was super happy to be with her best buddy Abby.
Her birthday is very difficult being in December and I feel gets lost in the shuffle of Christmas festivities. We try very hard to make it a very special day for our little Bear.


We're all surviving the cold winter and can't wait to enjoy our backyard, warm weather, pool time and BBQ's
We recently got back from a cruise, such a wonderful vacation we all had. I will save that for another post.
Stay tuned for many other surprises from the Goddard's
