A day at the park

What's better than playing at the park?

Playing at the park with friends!

Mary Bibb (Bibby)

Sarah Laine (SaLaine)

Bibby's Aunt Momo brought a bubble fan! Instant fun! And instant mess!

Pop!

Sarah Laine: So how long do you think it'll take them to notice we're ON TOP of the table?

Lillianna: Don't look over there...shhh! Don't let them hear you!

Let's go get Sarah Laine...

It's so great to have best friends!

Let's swim!

Brad and I went to dinner with friends Saturday night. yea! When I put on my dress, Lillianna said, "Pretty dress Mama. Eeeanna wants a wear pretty dress!" I saw this top that I got free with a purchase off ebay. I put it on her and tied the back. She then put on some of my bracelets and asked for us to "Take the camera."

Since Saturday, she has worn the dress at some point the last two days.

I never thought my not-yet-2 year old would already enjoy playing dress up. It's soooooo cute!

RAINY DAY PLAYGROUP

Yes Mommy, I can't wait to share my toys with my friends! You know how good I am at that!

Sarah Laine: Sam, would lyou like me to cut you a piece of plastic pie?

Sam: that would be lovely! Especially with my tea I just made.

Finally a place of my own...away from all these girls!

Sweet Mary Emma plays the first round of "Name That Tune"

Sarah Laine shows off her precious smile

Mary Bibb directs everyone to the door with her spoon.

We had a blast! We had some tamtrums! We can't wait to play again soon!

So lately Lillianna is into "take the camera" which translaes into "take my picture." She also means that she wants me to flip the camera screen around so that she can see herself. So really it's a photo shoot with herself. I think it's adorable and I get the cutest pictures of her ever!

Outdoor photoshoot:

I want that!

Papa James sent us home with fresh corn on the cob from his garden. Yummy!

I cut some off for Lillianna to eat and then Brad and I picked ours up to enjoy.

Lillianna saw us eating it and said "I want that! I want to hold it too."

So I got her a ear and she went to town. For 20 minutes she just chewed and smiled.

She's a grand ole flag!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

These adorable pictures were taken at Sue Sue and Pop's house this past weekend. Pops put up a new swing in the front yard and Lillianna LOVED swinging and dancing while Sue Sue and Mama tried to sing (in tune) "She's a Grand Ole Flag."

So last night was organic-turkey-wheat-spaghetti night at the Parsons.

I know you wish you had been here.

There was one BIG fan...the best eater in the house LOVED it!

"Hi Mr. Noodle! "

"Mmmm.mmmm. Finger licking good."

"Mom! You didn't tell me you were taking pictures. I would have posed."

"Like this."

"Or even better...like this! Cheese!"
