Lydia's birthday!

Happy Birthday Lydia!

What a day! Lillianna and I had so much fun last Friday at Lydia's 3rd birthday!

Here's our sweet friend Lydia!

"Mom, can you believe how much fun I'm having?!"


"Mom I was just inside that! I hope you got a picture!"



"A trampoline is so much fun! How come we don' thav one of these?"



"The best time I had was when I actually sat and ate with EIGHT other kids! I've never been that happy around that many people before in my life! I am such a big girl, Mom!"



Me and my new friend, Svea, who is just 1 day younger than me!


Strawberries, grapes, goldfish...all of my favs!

My first CapriSun....so delieicious! My new very favorite!

Picasso, Monet, Parsons

Lillianna loves to draw. She asks to "dwah" no less than 20 times a day. She LOVES it.

She loves for Mama and Dada and BearBear and Elmo to dwah too.

I am thrilled with this new love and want to nurture it.

I just don't want to nurture it on our walls.

This is the 2nd masterpiece in the last couple of weeks.

Thank goodness for MisterClean Magic Eraser

Making cupcakes

yum!

Just is case you were wondering...

Lillianna still loves to eat!

One whole Turkey hot dog has already gone missing after her plate

Afternoon snack

Lillianna picks up Mama's water bottle...

What do you think happened next?.....

yep.

What a great day!

Started the morning with a great playdate with my friend Sam.

He is so much fun! He tried to keep me going even when I really just wanted to go take a nap.

He even played Handel's Messiah for me on his flutophone...what a guy!

Then after a nice nap...I went to the park with "Bibby" (Mary Bibb) & BearBear

We were so busy having fun!

Wow...and I thought I was tall.

Weekend Wrap-up

I sure had a GREAT time with my Sue-Sue- & Pops!

Now I should go help Daddy...

Nothing like a little yard work to make it feel like Spring.

Whew! I'm so tired. If only I had a GIANT, 5 foot tall, soft and furry bunny to relax with.

Oh wait. Aunt Donna and Uncle Mike brought me one today! Where is it?

aaah....now this seems just right.

Friday morning adventure

Tent! Tent! Tent!

Come join me and all my friends!

Hi Mama, Look I'm in the tent!

Okay, everybody this is what we're going to do next. Follow my instructions carefully!

I love being Queen of the Tent.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

In about 3 seconds....

These days, Lillianna can go from up, happy, playing, smiling...

to a horizontal position...grumpy, frumpy, kicking & whining.

It's really fun when it happens in a public place.

Is it Springtime yet?

There are some LOOOONG days in the winter...

This is what we've resorted to for fun:

Except here, Lillianna has decided this is not so much fun anymore:

Later that day we found a real playground with real rides:

Now THAT was FUN!
