Richelle Turns 4

Richelle turns 4 last Wednesday, March 3,2010. We don't really have plans for her birthday so we consulted it to the celebrant on what she wants. And what she said is she wants to go to the mountain and to play on the snow. My husbands Aunt's and Uncle were here at the time so at least we have company not just us. We had so much fun and for a change and i could say it is a great idea. We just bought cake for her and some foods, i didn't prepare anything which is great :). Well one thing is my visitor watched what they were eating and they don't eat much and my husband and i don't want to end up eating what is left. Well we had so much fun sledding and having a party picnic at Prescott for a whole day and have a nice outdoor visit cause we stopped at Yarnell on the way home, there is a nice park that we liked over there. The next day the celebration is not over yet, we went to the Red Lobster for Richelle's birthday dinner. She is very friendly to the waitress, i think they get along pretty good. I a m so proud of her.. Her Aunt bought her a 2 brain quest booklet and she is doing great on it. Her Aunt says that she passed with flaying colors and that is for 4-5 toddlers.She said that Richelle is ready for 1st grade(her Aunt is a retired Elementary Teacher). I know i didn't teach her some of it. She learned it from the PBS kids on her computer and on TV.I could say that i recommend it to all the kids and it's a pretty good baby sitter hehe. She's gonna start pre-school next year well see, i know she's going to love it.

My 3yrs Old Hoola Hoop

Richelle's Doing The Hoola Hoop

My 3 years and 3 months old daughter knows how to do the hoola hoop! Gosh, i was so shocked and so proud of her. I don't know where she learned it, nobody is doing the hoola hoop in our house. She probably saw it on TV. One day we went to the store and she saw one and so eager to have one.Of cause i don't wanna buy her one cause i know she is still too small to do the hoola hoop but her father bought it for her anyway. I don't even know how to do it but i still showed it to her even though it doesn't stays on my body just dropped all the way. The next thing i know she is in the living room with her father and she knows how right away. She is such a smart one and i am so proud of her..The father has a video of her i will upload it here once he'll send me one.

Richelle Swing and Slide

Last Tuesday we took a trip to Prescott AZ for you know... just to get out of Phoenix and have some nice drive and some fresh cool country air.Gosh! we've been like random over hundred degrees weather now, it's like 2 or 3 weeks. It's a sign that we are close to summer cause it already feels summer. The last time i went to that town, like to look around was when i am like a month or 2 since i got here. I just remembered on the trip that Prescott is one of my favorite town here in AZ. I like there set up, there is up and down not flat like in Phoenix. It was a very nice drive enjoying around and on our way back well silly me didn't even went to the bathroom before the long trip back so i feel like going and holding on till Yarnell.(pssstttt just no.1 hehe). So we stopped at Flora May Park in Yarnell, that park is very useful in case of emergency when you are going for a drive that way and it's clean too. Richelle is enjoying the park given her a little time out for the drive. It's been a while now that we went to the park cause it is really getting hot. So she loves it there and took a picture and movie enjoying. She is now 3 yrs old and 9 days. She speak a lot and contradict a lot hehe. She is fun and such a darling.

Collage Pictures

Tonight i was playing on the pictures which my husband's Aunt sends us. One day when they were here in AZ last December, she took my daughter to the park. Took a lot of pictures too... She sends it to us and asked us if we can find a frame for it cause they were all darling pictures. So one day when i went shopping i found a very nice collage pictures frame and i even bought two just in case. And tonight when i was playing on the pictures forming it on the floor i had an idea of just using one big picture frame that fits all of the pictures. It's very nice though i like it, and the 2 collage pictures frame i could probably use it on something else cause she sends us a lot more pictures that took in a different days and just hung it on my daughter's room.

Perfect Gift for my Daughter

I am so excited... I just bought which for me is the perfect gift for my daughter. I won't till for now, might ruin the surprise maybe at Christmas. I can't stop thinking about it when i first saw it and what if all of it will sold and no more coming. So tonight before we closed i bought it and partially wrapped it of our free wrappers at work and double wrap it on a Christmas wrappers if i have time. Just so that nobody will know what is it hehe. My daughter will love it i know, it's the perfect gift for toddler. Oh can't wait t put it under our tree which we are going to buy a real tree on my day-off.

Halloween 2008

I know... I know Halloween is over, i just wanna put picture in remembrance for the Halloween 2008. As usual my daughter doesn't like dressing costume for the Halloween. Her 1st Halloween is a pumpkin, she's almost 8 months at that time so she doesn't care. The 2nd time she is a Leopard and she hates it. Her father's slowly convincing her to try the clothes just for the sake of pictures, she tried it just for a few minutes and cried cause she wanted to take it off. This year i thought she'll gonna like it cause it's Tinkerbell's dress. She is excited at 1st and then she wants change. No trick or treat i had work at that night and my husband don't want to. He's not really into trick or treating.

2 1/2 Years in Progress

I've been longing to write this for a long time i just didn't get a chance. Actually it's 2 years and 7 months in progress for my daughter. She is my sweety pie and such a delight to us. She cracked me most of the time with her surprising new development every now and then. She knows all the letters in the alphabet now (the big letters and she is working on the small letters now) and numbers 1 to 10, she starts learning probably when she turn 2 but before that she already have some few as she is watching PBS kids channel all the time. She's always paying attention especially about letters and numbers. Her favorites are word world, super why and word girl, her eyes always on this 3 she does watch and remembers and knows almost all of the characters of some of the shows too. As all kids are she is so curious and every now and then well ask a question. Everytime we go out a lot of questions and when she's done she get entertained by all the billboards and advertisements on the street and read it by letters. She sometimes sing along with our music in the car, she is such an entertainer.We call her honey, sweety, dear, love and sweety pie and she calls us on those names too. She is such a sweety!!! Her Favorite is "yes dear". She loved Lego's. Her aunt bought one when she is 18 months and she loved playing and building towers on it even until now. She loved puzzles too and still her favorite. She loved to play on the park but unfortunately summer is sooo hot so we skip it every summer and even on the porch where some of her toys are is still hot. Her favorite kids movie is vegetales and she got her own everytime we rent a movie and oh boy she'll watch it over and over. She is choosing her own clothes to wear now most of the time especially when we are going out and got her purse too. That's our daughter so sweet yet can be a rascal sometimes. She got a tantrum too and thank goodness that she has a father who will calm her down and patiently entertaining her and they got their tickle time too. She likes it and ask her father to tickle her. She is my sweety pie and i thank God for blessing me of such a wonderful daughter, such a treasure to us.

Picky Eater

My daughter is stressing me up sometimes when it comes to the food she eats. I give alot of efforts to cook a food for her just for her and most of the time she don't eat it and all of the time i cooked food that she also likes for us. Since yesterday my husband told me that she only take a bite on what he gave to her and that is when i am at work and i cooked her some more when i got home but still she ignores it she just drink milk and asked for cheese instead. This morning she eats her cereal but not much on what she used to and mostly ignores the lunch and just drink milk and cheese, good thing she likes cheese to nibbles but still it gives me problem. I cooked her food for dinner tonight still don't mind it so i run to get her 2 drumstick chicken and biscuit and what a relieve that she eats it all. They said that kids eat when they're hungry that's what my husband told me all the time "she'll eat when she's hungry" but as a mother it worries you when your child wouldn't touch her food. She's a picky eater i cooked foods for us that she likes too but sometimes she eats it and the next time i cooked it she don't like it anymore.

Turns 2

Gosh! How fast time goes by... My daughter turns 2 yesterday, I remember 2 years ago when i undergo an induce labor... I don't have enough fluid to protect the umbilical cord from being compressed accidentally by the baby and probably could cause more problems if i wait 37weeks. Well, she's only 33 weeks and it's only 4 weeks early. She came out healthy, born on March 3,2006 at 9:53 am, She weight 5.7 and 17inches lenght. I remember that i can't sleep at that night even though it's not painful anymore cause they numb half of my body, probably cause of excitement (i'm sure it is) and can't wait to see her. Can't describe the happiness of being a mother and even now i am so proud of my baby. She is my life and my everything... She is so funny, goofy and sweet little angel.

czarrmae

You know what CZARRMAE stands for? CZ comes from my name Cordellia Zamayla "a" is "and" and RR is from my husband name Rick Rasmussen, MAE is from our daughter RICHELLE. Cool huh?? 3 in 1 or that's going to be our brand name like if ever we're going to open a business hehehe. Do you know where we get our daughter's name? Well our daughter's name is Richelle Czarrina Mae and Richelle came from my husband's name Richard and Czarrina is from both me and my husband's name and the Mae is donated from my husband's mom. Before, when we are still planning to have a baby we already prepared a name of either a girl or a boy, if it's a girl we're going to call her Czarrina and that is our daughter's name and if it's a boy we're going to name him Czarr. Well, we don't have a boy yet but if God grant us to have another baby and if it's a boy we're going to name him Czarr Richard.

You know how fast kids grow and we missed alot of moments that we supposed to video and save starting on her birth and all we have are pictures. She so daddy's girl and the 2 of them get along pretty good. The father video her on her jump while trying to brush her teeth and her cellphone toy on the other hand. She is our cutie pie.
