Basket Rides

This was too funny not to post. Brantley and Lilley were playing in the laundry baskets after I was done folding laundry and Brantley decided that it would be fun to push Lilley around in one. So, he put Lilley in, and dumped a bunch of toys in there with her and pushed her around the house for almost an hour. Lilley loved it and so did I! (Don't mind the lack of clothes. They love to be in their underwear or diaper!)

Tree House

Trying to get 5 kids to just look at you is impossible! (don't you just love the look Will is giving me? Hilarious!)

Lilley sticking her tongue out like always

Will is such a funny kid! Will and Liza were the teachers

Brantley and Benjamin were being really good students (Brantley has already learned to cheat! What are we going to do with this kid! hahaha)

Riding the bull

They thought that it was great that water actually came out of the cow when you milked it.

Playing chess. She played with these for the longest time!

Not quit sure what Grandma is making her do

Me, my mom and Aunt Bekah decided to venture out with 5 kids to the tree house for a little fun and fun we had! The kids couldn't get enough and had a blast playing with everything. I couldn't keep Lilley in one place for more then a couple of minutes except for at the chess board. She for some reason did not want to leave there. Hope she doesn't turn into a chess nerd! hahaha! Brantley had a blast with Benjamin and really enjoyed spending some time with is cousins Will and Liza since he doesn't get to see them to often. It was a great time!

Sand Dunes

They rode around like this holding hands. SOOOO cute! Brantley is such a great big brother and Lilley loves him so much. It just makes my heart melt!

Climbing up the dune

Going down

Lilley has started to say "cheese" when I take a picture and this is what she does

Landin and Kristy

The whole group

Lilley and Aspen

So we went on our first camping trip this last weekend to the sand dunes. We went with a lot of good friends and had a blast! The weather was perfect, kids were great, had an awesome time playing in the sand and we got in a lot of riding! It was so nice to get out and camp again. It got me all excited for this summer and all of the many trips to come!

EASTER EGG HUNT

This was Brantley when it first started saying MOMMY!!!

Kind of getting some candy

Getting into it all

So this year we ended up going to Smiths for the Easter Egg Hunt. It was nice cause it was indoors since it was so cold but the candy was only so so. Brantley was his normal self now a days and was real intimidated by it all and was real shy on getting into it. He wanted me right by his side. It was kind of funny once he started to realize what was going on he kept telling me that if he took some of the candy then the other kids wouldn't get as much! What 3 yr old is worried about how much candy others are getting? Once the kids moved down the isle a little he would go and pick up the candy they left behind. Funny kid! Lilley did a little better, but she would get distracted by putting everything in her mouth like always. The kids had a great time!! We didn't get a lot of candy but I was glad. All I need is more candy and temptation around me!

The Party

The Cakes!!!!

She was more into the wrapping paper and ribbon then the toys(tell she could play with the toys that is)

Doesn't have a clue on what to do and whats going on

Started right away with eating a flower

Shoveling it in by the hand fulls

She ended up eating half of her cake and with it everywhere! I loved the flower on the head and a piece of one in her nose.

Well it was a great night! Lilley didn't know what was going on and wasn't into opening the presents, but her big brother helped her out and opened almost all of them for her. What a great helper! She loved all of the attention that she was getting and LOVED eating the cake. She didn't even hesitate one bit and dug right in. Thank you everyone that came and all of the great gifts. She was so spoiled and walked away with ton of new toys, clothes and a quilt!

Happy Birthday Lilley

One Year Old

I can't believe that my little girl is already one year old. It seems just like yesterday that I was coming home from the hospital with her! It amazes me how fast time goes by now. Lilley wasn't always the best baby. We started it off bad with her having acid reflex and she was very colic! I didn't know how I got threw it, but I did. Even threw the sleepless nights, all of her sicknesses, and crying. She is now such a sweet heart. She will play by her self and only starts crying if shes hungry, tired or needs her diaper changed. Some of the things that she loves are mom, her big brother (she follows him around everywhere), playing with toys (any toys as long as there is something to play with), her bottle, she loves to play outside and almost any food. She has really started eating a lot! At 1 year old Lilley weights in at 20 pounds 9 ounces (40%) is 29" long (46%) and her head is 17.5" (30%). She is such a joy to have around the house. She brightens up our day everyday. It's kinda sad that my baby is not really a baby anymore and that I wont be having another one. But I am real excited for all of the new things that she is going to discover and learn in the next few years. We love you Lilley!!! Happy Birthday!
