{Dino Park}

A few weeks ago, we went to the 'Dino Park' (as Jett calls it) with my sister, Jamie and my friend Heather.  It was really fun, the kids had a great time running around together.  Lil Miss P has really been into dinos lately and LOVES the big scary animatronic ones inside.  Jamie and I thought it would be fun to get a photo of all 10 kids together.  It turned out really cute, until Logan fell off of the bench and hit his forehead. :(

Good times!!!:)

{Lily P, You Are So Pretty}

 How I ADORE this little child.  Lily Pearl was such a hard baby and now she is the funnest, sweetest baby girl.  She will be 18 months later on this month and it is so fun to see her personality coming through.

 She is so dramatic and makes the silliest expressions!  When you say 'Lily, you are so pretty!', this is the face she will make.  When ever anyone at the grocery store or other places says hi to her or shows her any kind of attention, this is what they get.  HaHa! 

I can already tell she is going to have a fabulous sense of humor, she is already a little nut!

*Please excuse the fact that Lily and her highchair are covered in food. :)  She just happens to be THE messiest eater ever!!!



{Pizza Guys}

These little boys of mine are so silly!  One day, I was making Totinos frozen pizzas for lunch (I really go all out) and Derek asked if he and Jett could play with the boxes.  They wanted to play 'pizza guys'.  :)  I didn't notice that Derek had taken the plastic wrap that was on the pizzas.  They were using it as their 'cooking hats'.  I love these little 'pizza guys'.  :)

{Pinwheels & Pearls Party}

For Lilys first birthday, I wanted to throw her a pretty and sweet party.  I came up with this little pinwheels & pearls theme.  It turned out really cute.  I loved using the pearls since Lilys middle name is pearl. It was perfect.  :)

I made this banner with Lilys name on it.  I printed out the digi letters and when I strung it all together I put some different sized pearl beads that  I found at Hobby Lobby in between the letters.  I love how it turned out, so sweet and fancy for my little Lily P.

The cupcakes were my favorite part of the party.  They were so fun to make and looked so cute.  I made little pink and green pinwheels for the tops with tiny pearls in the centers.

I mounted this photo of my baby girl onto a wooden board that I painted and used a texture cream over the top of it.  It looks so much better in my house than in the photo.  :)

I got some really sweet little pinwheels at Hobby Lobby for the party favors.  I made little digi tags with all of the kids names on them.

This is the cake I made for Lily to destroy.  Didn't turn out like I planned, but it was going to be ripped apart anyway, so I was okay with it.

Me, loving on my little Punkie P.

Oh, the cake was THE best part of the party!  Lily P loved it!!!  She just demolished it and ate almost every bit.  It was so fun to watch her.  I think she enjoyed everyone laughing and watching her.  She loves attention.

My little Piggy Pearl.  :)

After the cake, Lily got a much needed bath and got on her warm snuggley jammies.  Then she cuddled with Grandpa Walt and her new (favorite) baby from Aunt Jamie.

It was a fabulous party.  We sure love our Lily Pearl Pearlie Girl.

Our sweet little Lily Pearl turned one!!!  I can't believe it has been a year since she was born.  Her first year was a little rough with her always being sick and her ear infections.  She is doing great now and we are enjoying every minute with her.  She is one crazy cat and we love her so so very much!  Here are some things about our little Punkie P at one:

-She is a mommys girl

-She LOVES baby dolls and is always holding one

-She loves her pink soft blankie

-She is finally sleeping through the night

-She loves any kind of food except eggs

-She likes to make barking sounds when the dogs bark

-She loves books and likes to point at the pictures in them

-She is extremely loved!!!

{Thanksgiving - 2010}

My beautiful children on Thanksgiving Day.  I am SO very thankful for them. :)

Aunt Mandy (Adrians sister) stayed with us for  awhile over Thanksgiving.  We all had a blast with her!  The kids adore her.  It was so fun having her stay with us.
