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.

Craft Day

Today's craft day at my moms house, a tradition that my family(grandma, 2 aunties, cousin, and my mom) have been doing for years. We all get together 1 Saturday a month and we craft, scrapbooking, knitting, crochet, paint, whatever you feel like doing. It's so much fun, I'm now introducing Lily to it, she will be our next generation crafter! I should post some pics of all of us around the table crafting... I need to take some first.

Love Birds

I was looking at some old pictures and ran across this pic of James and I, this was taken at the beach summer of '06. That night was lots of fun, we were sitting at friends house about 10pm we decided to go to the beach and have a fire. Back then we were able to get up and go, no worries. Well things have changed, in a good way! I think it's fun to look back at old pictures, you really start to day dream... Oh the memories :)
