A Day at the Strawberry Festival

On Saturday, we decided to go to a Strawberry Festival about an hour and half away. It was a little hot, but Lillie loved seeing all the animals. The horses were the highlight!!

Happy or Delirious?

We spent the morning at the park and got home a little late. Lillie was about 45 min. past her nap time, when we had lunch. She decided she couldn't stop laughing while trying to get her sandwich to fall from her mouth. For some reason, she also thought me saying "pieces" while whipping my hand in front of her, was hilarious. Happy or delirious?? You decide.

It's been a while!

A little of Lillie's favorite things to do...eat, count, animal sounds, singing, and the park.

Lillie has found a new breakfast food...French Toast!! Mmm Mmm good!


Today we ventured out to the park. It was BEAUTIFUL weather! Blue skies, cool breeze, and warm! Lillie likes these motorcycle "rides". She really gets into rocking back and forth.


D.C. is filled with nannies, au pairs, and babysitters. Lillie found one of them playing ring around the rosies and decided to join in.


Lillie loved climbing up and down the equipment. She's celebrating the fact that she semi-jumped down this step. When I say jump, I really mean Lillie did a little squat, jerked her body up, then stepped down off the step. We're getting there.


Lillie is such a socialite!! She walked up to just about every adult in the playground and said hi, or looked interested in the kid they were watching, or wanted to touch the baby they were near. This girl in the background, arrived at the playground and she and Lillie instantly gravitated toward each other. They sat on a step holding hands. It was so cute!! We found out her name is Ellie and she is 3 years old. When they both stood up, holding hands, another girl joined them, and what else...ring around the rosies!
We've got a Miss Clean in our house.


Lillie loves the duster in our bedroom. She likes going around the room and dusting...EVERYTHING!

Happy Easter

Lillie received an Easter package today. As soon as I brought the box in the house, Lillie squealed, yelled "Nana", and couldn't wait to open the surprise.

Easter is almost here and we are very excited! The decorations are up in the house and we are looking forward to this Easter weekend with some friends. Lillie "helped" put up some of the eggs and decorations.



Spring is here!!!...temporarily, at least. Today, the temperature was 82 DEGREES!! Can you believe it!! It went from cool, to all of a sudden pretty warm. Lillie and I decided to take a little walk and look around our backyard.


Flowers are starting to bloom, buds are peeking out of trees, and Lillie is growing by the minute.

The Ringling Brothers Circus is in town! Every year when the circus comes to town, they have some of the animals take a walk right through the city. Lucky for us, they walk right by one of the parks I take Lillie to. We stood on the sidewalk while the animals walked right past us.

The elephants were NOT Lillie's favorite, unfortunately. As soon as she saw their massive bodies turn the corner, she started backing up. Oh well, it was worth a try.


Here are some of the half horse, half zebra animals. I forget the name of them.


Lillie DID love the horses. She couldn't stop staring.



Today, Lillie and I took a 30 min. drive to visit a "new" friend for Lillie. Sydney, who is 3 years old, and her family, are in the stake and friends of ours. They live a little ways away, so we have never really had a playdate with them. Sydney's mom, Paula, and I finally decided to plan something. The two girls had a great time playing with eachother. Of course, the highlight was finding a new park with great play equipment. You'll have to watch the video below to see Lillie in action.

A New Friend

Who can resist a 75 degree day at the park. When we visited our new friends today, we went to a new park. Lillie is branching out with the things she decides to play on.

Lillie, on the Move!

Here is some fun video of Lillie at the park, practicing her balancing and hopping, and let's not forget her ABC's and 1,2,3's.
