What A Beautiful Girl!

Happy 3rd Birthday Lilyan

It's hard to believe that my baby girl is turning three years old tomorrow. It's crazy! Three years ago ... I was getting everything ready to get up in the morning and go have our baby. She was due on the 11th of May, but my doctor was going out of town, so she decided to induce me before she left. We were sooo excited to have a girl!! We had her PINK PINK and MORE PINK room all ready. PINK clothes all washed and in the closet. PINK car seat, PINK stroller.....Okay PINK EVERYTHING!! lol We went to the hospital at 5 a.m. and after the doctor had an emergency and had to "put us on hold" (lol) I finally had Lilyan at 3:06 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 20 inches long. What a beautiful baby she was!!!

Lily has always been the girl that thinks she's "older" than she really is. So we're always teasing her that she's going to have her 9th birthday soon. lol

Wow! How she's grown up. She's so independent and so so very smart. She follows almost everything of what the older kids do and wants to be involved in everything as well. She rides a bike like she's been doing it for years and wants her daddy to take the training wheels off cuz she's big. =) She says the funniest things and is also a little bossy. She tells you how it is and exactly what she wants and wants it NOW!! But....how could we not give her exactly what she wants....she's the baby!! hee hee She's for sure got some "AtTiTuDe!!" She loves hats and sunglasses and new shoes. She loves the dirt and the trampoline. She loves eggs and loves loves cheese crackers and hates pepperoni. Lily looooooves her Pepae! (Pepsi) She loves Dora, she loves the zoo! She is pretty brave and will do about anything but she's afraid of heights. She's not afraid of the dark or dogs or thunder, but she's afraid of the turtles at the pet store. lol She loves all the family. She always wants to go to Brooke's house and Grandma's. She loves Keaton, Weston, & Summer. She's not much of a snuggle bug, but she loves to get right up with her dad at night and watch a movie and fall to sleep. She loves to swim! She loves the color purple! I could go on for hours about my wonderful baby girl. I'm so blessed and I love her so much!

We love you Lily! HaPpY hApPy BiRtHdAy PrInCeSs!!

Guinea Pig's, Spring Break & Easter

I know I'm pretty easy and give into about anything the kids ask me to get them or do.....

But Guinea Pigs!!! What started out as a quick stroll through PetsMart - ended up as a $220 walk back to the car! Summer said that it was "calling her name". lol Weston just gave me the sad little "I'm so picked on" eyes, and Keaton & Lily just stood back and waited for me to say YES! I was a little nervous about what I had really done, but I have to admit ... They're not too bad. The kids all hold them and they have all helped in same way taking care of them. ( I just hope it last) They love 'em!!

The kids had the whole week off of school and although I spent the first three days stuck at WORK and FRUSTRATED and busy busy yuk.... the rest of the week was wonderful!!! We managed to get everybody together and go bowling, which was a blast like always!! My mom and I also took the kids up to Park City for a little get away for two nights. Summer and Ty and some friends got to go snowboarding once more before the end of the season and all the kids swam swam swam!!!! They went for hours!!!! Brandi & her kids came up as well and it was awesome just visiting, hanging out, and relaxing!! We came home and had a BBQ with Brooke and Kenny and colored eggs and set out the baskets to wait for the Bunny!! =)

Easter was great! Okay except for the fact that Cody had to work....Blaaahhhh Boooo Whhooo!
He was really cute though -- He woke every one of us up at 5 a.m., just so he could spend some time with the kids and see what they got from the Easter Bunny. We spent about an hour together before he had to go. Summer & Weston got iPod's and the little ones got new bikes. They were all sooo excited! After they went through their baskets, Summer went back to bed, Weston played the Wii, and Keaton & Lily rode their bikes around and around my kitchen until it was time to go outside.


Tim & the boys came over for a little visit and brought their new puppy and then the kids and I went down to mom & dad's for Brunch. It was a nice time with my family as usual!!! Keaton & Lily both fell to sleep, so I decided to go for a little 4.5 mile run. It felt great. The weather was lovely!! I can't wait to start running outside all the time. Yeeeahhhh!!! Cody got home about 7 o'clock and we all played a little Wii Fit and off to bed!


What a wonderful week and a wonderful holiday!!!
