Our pretty princess!

Lilia's 2 year photo shoot today at Sears. She was an angel. The girl was alright who took them but missed a lot of really big smiles that Lilia gave her. We got a few good ones. Here is a sampling. These are taken from Sears website.

These are the only two I ordered.



Doesn't she look prayerful? She's actually staring at the giant flash light.

Peek-a-boo

We took her shopping in this outfit the other day and as we walked through the doors a woman at check out said "She needs an agent!" She's our pretty girl! Thanks for the cute outfit Aunt Rebecca!

Happy Birthday my handsomest hubby!

We had a party on his birthday for both David and Lily.
very excited to open his presents from us

I hope every wife has the blessing to say "I have a fantastic man beside me each day, I call him my husband." I certainly can! My David turned 33 on Friday. He works a job he doesn't love for me, he serves the Lord faithfully, he shows his love and affection for me and our little one, he laughs with me, cries with me and holds my hand. He works hard at his job, he works hard at "conquering the universe", he has mad skillz! He's an amazing Daddy and a caring husband. We pray for him when he leaves and we rejoice in his return. He's a smartie pants and doesn't act like it. His life long goals are to take our family to the celestial kingdom, to learn, to teach, to serve and to become a "jedi".

David,
We love and adore you! You're my favorite person to laugh with, the person I turn to cry to. You never insult us or put us down. You're the man of our dreams that Heavenly Father blessed us with. As our temple sealer once told us, I love you more each day than I did before. Happy Birthday!
Love, Your Pretty Princesses

Happy 2nd Birthday Lilia Sue!

Happy Birthday Lilia!Putting up 2 fingers when asked "how old is Lily?" "2"

Trying desperately to blow out her candle. She needed a little help.When she blows her bangs move.
She needed no help opening her presents.She loves the princesses.She calls them "Booty", "Anna Anna Beast", "Rella", and "White"
We gave her wooden puzzles, a cash register, the princess dinnerware set, and wooden blocks. Thanks to everyone who sent her gifts. She loves them all!



Her new slide from Grammy and Pop!Grandma Joy and Grandpa Larry sent her 2 movies and a fridge magnet toy to learn the alphabet. We love you all!

On Saturday we had her party with kids 3 and under mostly from Church.They had a wonderful time.
Haley, Cohen, Eddie, Matthew, Lilia and Nina (and her mommy Heather)
We are a happy family!

It was a ducky party.

When I told Lily she was having a party, she cried and said "No Go Potty!"
She soon learned party is way more fun than potty.


All of the kids "helped" open presents. Each tried to open the gift they brought.
We did bubbles!
We played with a parachute! And played with her rubber ducks, bean bags, Pop made balloon animals and hats, they sang and danced around and ate goodie junk. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday party for her. It went perfect! Everyone had fun and it lasted the perfect length of time (90 mins).

This is video of her blowing out her candles yesterday. Check it out. Its super cute!
Lilia Sue,
We love and adore you! We love being your parents. Heavenly Father blessed us with you! These 2 years have been amazing and we are excited for each day to come. Happy Birthday!

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Oh a sailor's life is the life for me!

I love sailor suits and sailor style dresses. I decided to make one for our little boy. I made up the pattern based on a random one piece outfit just for size and imagined the rest. It took about 3 or 4 days to complete, mostly because I damaged my machine in the process but its all oiled up and working smooth now. I want him to wear it for his blessing. Hopefully it will be a good fit! Let me know what you think! (I bought Lily a pink sailor dress to go with it.)
