The Park And A Couple New Words

On Sunday, James, Devin, Lily and I decided to go to McNear Park. We brought a Frisbee, football, and Lily's ball to play with. I didn't think we were going to be there very long, but we ended up staying for 3 hrs. We had so much fun, Lily was running in the grass, chasing her daddy and uncle Devin while I was snapping pictures. When she got tired of running around she would come over to me and snuggle on her blankie and enjoyed some of her milk. We had such a great time we are planning for another trip to the park this weekend. We played on the slides and swings for a while, but she preferred to be in the grass running around. Fine by me, I get so nervous when she wants to try and climb up the jungle gym with all the big kids. She never wants to stay in the "little kid" part, its always the bigger the slide the more she wants up.

Over the weekend Lily has learned a couple of new words, Bathroom "baroom" and Turkey "Turtey" (Turkey is our nickname for Sprocket) She is now into saying Uh-OH! whenever something goes wrong, and ewww every time she sees the fly swatter or a nasty cigarette butt on the ground. Oh the things kids do that make you laugh :) I love it!!

Baby B's 1st B-Day PaRtY!

Last night Lillan and I went to my friend Kims son Bobby's first B-Day party, we had a blast! I loved spening time with my old friends Kim and Heather as we are the same age with kids! Heathers son Nathan is 3 but Lillian and him played the most. He came up to me a said Lily is pweety :) so cute! We were there for about 3 hrs and then Lily started to get crabby (it was past her bed time) so on the way home she fell asleep, it worked out perfect! I thought the cake and ice cream was going to keep her awake. I got some cute pics and should post them soon. Just a quick update!

Little update

Lily is now 15 months old, she is getting a bigger vocabulary day by day. Her new thing to do is say "ewwwww" whenever she picks up something off the floor, she will crinkle her nose up and run whatever it is over to you for you to see (sometimes there is nothing in her hand). When she went in for her 15 month old check up the doctor said he was amazed on how much her face has changed. He said she is losing her "baby face" I don't want to hear that, she is growing up too fast. She also has lost 4 lbs since her last check up, she is loosing her rubber band hands and her rolls on her arms from all the running around :( my little girl is becoming a little lady. James and I love to sit and watch her, she will take daddy's old cell phone that no longer works and put it up to her ear, she will put her hand on her hip and pace around and just talk away (we don't know what she is saying) she will do this for about 5 min. We have taken some pictures of her doing this but it just doesn't show you enough. What she also has learned is how to turn on our clock radio, she will turn it on and dance around to the music and when she is done she will turn it off and simply walk away. I want to post pics so bad, but not have the Internet at my house and only able to post at my moms and I never seem to have time to bring my camera over and download my pics. Just a little update, have a great weekend!

Potluck

Tomorrow is our yearly potluck, which is so much fun. We invite friends and family and usually end up with 30+ people. We have a huge b.b.q with lots of food and drinks, we set up a volley ball net and depending how hot it is we have water balloons and a pool. This weekend is supposed to be in the 100's so I think the pool and water balloons will be an essential. Last year Lily was only 2 months old, this year she is 14 months and I think she will really have some fun! I don't think this year there is going to be any kids her age, but she I am sure she will get enough attention from the adults.

Tonight James and I are going to my parents house (where it is held) and putting together the volley ball net and do some last minute yard work, they live on 11 achers so we have a lot of room to use. I will try and take a bunch of pictures, I always plan on taking pictures and never get a chance, the day goes by to quick and so much is going on. I better get going, TGIF!

Lilys House

For Lily's 1st b-day James and I wanted to get her something huge, something she would enjoy for a few years. We decided to get her a play house... We ended up putting in the living room, and she loves it. She sits in it, opens her windows and watched TV from it, so funny. Here are some pics of James and Uncle Devin putting it together.

Top Dog

I took this pic a couple weeks ago and couldn't resist posting it! He looks so funny! Oh Sprocket, he's such a good pup :)

Getting Ready for Summer

We are getting ready for summer, that means sunblock, shades, a floaty and a bathing suite. We have picked out Lily's swim suite for the summer, its a one piece Polk-a-dot pink, green, orange and white. She has her green heart shaped sunglasses her Beach Bum sunblock, and her Palm Tree pool. This weekend is suppose to be hot, around 90+. It gets kind of miserable in our house, it's so stuffy and no matter how many fans you have you still want to lay down and not move. We are planning on going to my parents house and playing in Lily's pool my mom got her a while back. She has used it a few times and loves it. Ever since I have been a mom I get so excited about summer, Holidays and toys! It's like I get to re live my child hood :) Sometimes I think I have more fun with Lily's toys then she does!!

I will make sure to take pics of Lillian in her swimming pool this weekend, of course if it's too hot I think we will resort to the bath tub.
