Lily sayings.

So when I was dropping Lily off at her school there were 2 pigeons walking along the sidewalk. Lily got out of the jeep and said, "Daddy needs to kill those birds". Al has used his bebe gun to dispose of "pesky flying rats".

Tonight when Al picked Lil up she said "When pigs poop you get bacon". Um, right animal, wrong place.

Party, Party, Partay

Surprise!!!






One of many

The Birthday Girl...she finally joined us in the 30's!

Party Girls

Bar Maids

Will surprised Kim for her 30th birthday. Kim's friends and family (including Al and I) met at a bar called McMullans. We had a great time! It was open bar for a few hours with some awesome finger foods. So needless to say, we drank and ate way too much. After McMullans we went across the street to the Orleans Casino/Hotel. We went to Will and Kim's room and just hung around and talked. Al and I had a room at the Hard Rock. It was the first night in a long time we have been out with friends and no kids!

4 Months

Lauryn turned 4 months old yesterday. She is such a doll and her personality is just blooming. Lauryn weighs about 15 pounds (bigger than Landree & Lily at the same age). She smiles like crazy. We can just look at her and smile or talk and she smiles. She can be grumpy and if you just smile and talk to her she smiles right back. She is ticklish! I can just change her diaper and grab her leg she laughs. I don't think she has a spot on her little body that's not ticklish. We have been trying to feed her rice cereal every night. Lauryn spits a lot of it out so we shove it right back in. I'm excited to try actual flavored food, I think she'll just love it. As soon as we put Lauryn on her back she rolls to her belly. She also is reaching for toys and holding them and putting them straight into her mouth. Lauryn also spent the first night away from us last night. She stayed with Grandpa and Grandma.

Lauryn has been such a joy! We are blessed to have her and her sisters. It's been a wild ride with 3 girls and I am sure it's just going to get even wilder!

One to remember...

So I guess this one goes down in the history books. Obama was just sworn in. What do I think about it? I'll let you know in 4 years! What an expensive event for our economy in crisis!

A look into the future

If you ask Landree what she wants to be when she grows up she says a doctor. You go girl!

Cutie Patootie

PJ Pals

Today, Landree, Lauryn and I are hanging out at home. I should be cleaning, organizing, playing with the girls...instead I'm on the internet. So after this posting I'm off. So this is how we spend most of our Tuesday's. In our PJ's!

Preschool

My Lily started preschool last week. Yep, I know I'm just posting about it. She started at Childtime. The same preschool Landree went to. She actually has the same teacher Landree had when she was 3. Lily is doing very well. She is very shy and reserved, the complete opposite of Landree, so we were a little more concerned about her. She really enjoys going and has seemed to be adjusting very well. These are pictures from today before school. She's loving her uggs.

Smiley

Loved

Lauryn is definitely loved by her older sisters. They both love to hold her and talk to her. Lauryn is starting to really respond to them. Lily likes to tickle her on her neck, she just laughs. She stares at Landree, smiles and coos when she talks and sings to her.

Austin's 2nd Birthday Party

Firsts...

Eating rice cereal. Thanks Will & Kim for the CUTE bib!

Trying to hold bottle.

Rolling



My baby is rolling over, almost holding her own bottle AND eating rice cereal. She is getting to be such a big girl! Tonight after I fed Lauryn some rice cereal I laid her on the floor next to me while I played Lite Bright with the girls. Well she rolled over! There was a lot of grunting involved but she did it, from back to side to belly to side to back. No more leaving her alone on the bed!

Ummmm...sure

I forgot to post this picture. On the way to Utah Lily was whining that she had an owie on her finger. I look back at her because I had to see it. This is what she presented to me. Al and I just laughed. She had no clue.

Also, for journaling sake. My Lily-Put threw-up at least 5 times on the way home from Utah. The poor thing gets so carsick. She was playing with her new Leapster and next thing we knew-- yep, all over. When I was pregnant with her I would get so carsick as well. We could barely go across town without me getting sick. Now I know it was her swimming in there getting sick.

Today...

This is the area around where we stayed. It's actually called Swains Creek. It was a little area full of cabins. The zig-zag in the snow is a fence.



Al and the girls made a snow fort. There is a little table with seats to the left. Landree took me inside and told me there was a chicken with apples on the table for us to eat. Yum Yum, might be a little cold going down though.


Lily and Lauryn having a little chat. Lauryn loves when Lily talks to her. She talks in really high pitched baby talk. Lauryn just smiles and choos right back at her.

The view to Duck Creek- Stunning!

We made it back home early this afternoon. We had a very nice mini vacation with Nichole and Storm. It was really nice getting away from it all! We woke this morning to temperatures around negative 20. It was freezing!

Snow Angels

Baby it's COLD outside!

We woke up this morning to an additional 6 inches of snow and bitter cold! The high today was around 25 degrees and it is currently 7- brrrrrrrrr. (so no pictures of Lauryn outside) We are staying toasty in the cabin playing games. Nichole and I scrapbooked for a few hours today. The girls and I also made cookies. Al made a yummy lasagna for dinner. None of us are looking forward to packing up and going home tomorrow. We have had a nice relaxing stay. The girls have had fun playing in the snow and hanging around.
