Christmas Cheer!

Sorry about the late post. But this new baby has been making me sick all the time and I haven't had the energy to post anything. Christmas seemed quick this year. It came and went before we really even knew what happened. Adrian and I both had to work Christmas eve so it wasn't really the same anyways. that being said we had a really lovely time both at my parents, (I made the prime rib!) and at Adrians. We only took pictures though of our small christmas morining at home. Lily was just figuring out how to open presenets. I'm sure next year she'll figure it all out. So to everyone we love Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!.

Happy 1st Birthday Lily!

Happy Halloween!

A year ago today I was in the hospital having lily and completely missed halloween. It was the first year that I hadn't dressed up. So we went to a halloween party and I was a movie star and Lily was a nurse. I've always felt like I was born in the wrong decade. I look to comfortable in my vintage clothes from the 50's.

The Great Pumkin Search!

It took 45 minutes to get to the Pumpkin Farm. Look at the happy campers!

Then we went for a train ride around the farm.

THE GREAT PUMPKIN SEARCH BEGINS!

Mommy I found one!

Can we stop taking pictures now?

One happy mom.

Weekend Update

Lily is walking! And yes...that is our backyard. We're not good with keeping up the yard.

Our new car

By the way we got a new car.

Funny Conversation

The folllowing is a conversation I had with my mom after showing her the top photograph.
MOM: "Lily is so cute!"
ME: "Mom thats me!"
MOM " Well Lily is still cute"

The bottom photograph is Lily

Easy as Pie

I never really understood the phrase "easy as pie" because i have found that actually making a pie is a little time consuming. Extra time consuming when you are also wathching the child becuase Sunday Night Football is on TV and the men folk can't be bothered

My new little Niece

Welcome little Adeline Grace! She was born September 6th weighing 8 lbs 15 0z and 20 inches long. She has more hair than Lily!

Blond moment # _ _ _ 8

We don't have working sprinklers in the front lawn. We have one that you plug into the hose and it rotates back and forth. Well I went to turn the water on and was looking out at the grass to make sure it was working. What I didn't notice was that Adrian had mowed the lawn and moved the hose and the sprinkler head right underneath the faucet. So instead of watering the lawn I watered myself.

Lily pictures!

Cousins!

It's been like a million years since we were all in the same place at the same time. So here is the commemorative photo to prove it actually happened.

I tried to get a picture

But Adrian wouldn't cooperate

Belated Birthday Post

Happy 4th July Weekend

It's too bad I had to work all weekend. Friday...check. Saturday...check. Sunday...check. So to all of you enjoying your holidays...I'm jealous.

To my daughter

I look at you while you are sleeping. Your breath rises and falls in a sweet cadence. I cannot believe that you are mine. I know that you are too small to understand but I want you to know something; you are one half of me and because you are one half of me I will love you always and better than I love myself.

Lily Loves CATS!

Every time she see's spike she heads straight for him

Lily Likes to help Mommy with the laundry

That's not the only thing that's new. She can pull herself up to a standing position and she can say the word mom! Ma ma ma mom. she doesn't know what she is really saying but it sure is cute.

She finaly likes Uncle Scott

It only took seven months and a bottle of powerade to make her smile

Lily with the family

When I'm at work adrian takes Lily to Brentwood to see the rest of her family

Yesterday...

Lily and I went to Tim and Nicoles place. We were invited for an afternoon of swimming. So I went to the store and bought Lily a swim suit. I was a little concerned because she cries in the bathtub. Luckily she didn't cry and she actualy was having fun by the end. We were only sad that Adrian was working. Oh well there will be other days.

Lily's first swim!

The Beast

Sacramento, CA. 1230 pm. 95 degrees. I looked out into the backyard to see Xander playing with the hose. It was turned on and he was splashing in the water. Cute right? Except I didn't turn the hose on. He did.
