Easter party

Lily's school had an Easter party. There were snacks, egg hunting, stories, big fun. Mommy came to the party which made Lily's day.

Sarah, Lindsey, and Lily. Of the 10 children in Lily's class, these are all of the girls! Sarah is Lily's best friend. "Sarah will always be my best friend, Mama."

Smiling during snack. You would smile too if your snack was apples, grapes, cheetos, gold fish, cheese, and cookies. They has enough food for about 40 kids.

Tiny Lily in line.

She's an excellent egg hunter. It's the famous hunts at Grandma's house that have taught her well.

Now where are these eggs hiding?

Crafty like her Mama.

Waiting for GO!

How does your garden grow?

We are planting a garden this year. It's been a pretty slow process at our house. The few things you see growing are marigolds, onions, garlic, and carrots. Yesterday we planted beans, peas, cilantro, and basil. We have all of the stuff to make another box and plant another bunch of vegetables. It's been very fun so far and Lily loves to go and look at our garden.

First try of Mommy and the garden. Annie wanted in on the action.

Me and the garden. (I think I was trying to make sure she got my head.)

J-Day 2009

This past weekend was J-Day. Lily stayed at home with Daddy, and I had a night with my friends. It was fun, a nice getaway. Here are a couple of pics from the weekend.


Sara-Beth and Christy at Golden Club. (Note to Christy: I really wanted to post the collection pic I got of you, but I restrained myself. You're welcome.)

Heather and Marie.

Here's where the picture of Susan and I should go, but apparently we missed the memo about looking fabulous. Use your imagination.

The group shot. I think we look great. My sister says we get fatter and fatter every year, but we don't like her anyway.

Momma, take my picture.

About to jump off of the couch.

Take it like this. (Why?)

How does she do that with her leg? She was posing for a picture.

Our story

Josh has a book that he's had his whole life. It's a book of magic and make believe stories. His dad, Lily's Pawpaw, used to read it to him. Now Lily and Daddy read it almost every night, by her request of course. It's precious. I love them.

Daddy and Lily reading.

Fresh from a bath, in warm jammies, drinking chocolate milk (Pediasure), listening to Daddy read. Does life get better than that?

Do you think she's mine?
