Brrrrrough

Someone recently described our weather as bi-polar....I certainly agree

This post is a variety of photos and you'll notice a wide range of apparel for the temper-mental weather.

This is Lilia ready to see her 1st play "Beauty and the Beast" at a local high school. more in a future post.

We spent Saturday in Ocean City on the boardwalk picking up ride tickets for half price. It was bitter cold and rainy but we were covered so it was alright.
The reason I do not pay to have my children beside any character or gift giver. They show no love.
Max's new jammies and I love them. They glow in the dark too!
loving the fire engines
Max's 1st real ride ever. We didn't know if he'd make it. Lily was ejected from this very ride a little older than Max is now because she kept standing up. He had a steering wheel and was very happy about it! Lily loved having him to ride alongside.
He also loved the motionless trucks :)
she hated this ride last year. Now its a huge hit!

Lilia recently found my old recital costumes and has performed much for us!
check these moves!
loving the coatless days at Birch Grove. Lily is getting very brave and tricky!
Yo! I'm a JerZ Boy!
I just love the faces he pulls :)
Max is so big now! He walks, he babbles, he plays and is into everything!
and I love this hat on him. My Rough Tough Brough Rider!

Birthday Princess

Happy 3rd Birthday to our Lilia Sue!

She received so many wonderful gifts, mostly princess, girly pink things. She had a great birthday celebrated over a few days. She can show you she's 3 but forgets to say it. She says now she's a big girl and today she asked to go to Primary instead of nursery. She's an amazing helper and loves to be a big sister to Max. She's smart, funny, and such a social butterfly!

She weighs 31 lbs.
she's 37" tall
wears a size 7 shoe
can barely hold up size 3T pants
adores pink and princesses
dances day and night
has stolen our hearts away!
loves her new butterfly Barbie from Grandma and Grandpa
too excited about her pink cake!
my favorite photo from her birthday!
loves Ursula and told Grammy she can be Ursula. (of course Grammy didn't like that idea) She insists her Ursula dolly is nice!
birthday apron I made her
(note: I also sell these $15)
Very Grouchy Ladybug doll and book from Grammy and Pop
They also spoiled her with Rapunzel and Prince Eric dolls!
Her new cupcake, butterfly, flower quilt I made her
playing on the quilt while introducing her new Snow White and Prince Eric
She told Ariel she had to share him.
loves and adores chapstick more than anything else I think!sporting her new duds from Grandma and Grandpa!



On Saturday we celebrated with a Princess Party. She had 5 little friends come and they decorate crowns, blew bubbles, played keep up with balloons, tossed bean bags, played toys and colored pictures. It was lots of fun!

While we were singing Happy Birthday at the party instead of saying her own name or saying "me", she inserting "stinky little kids" (something my dad often calls the grandkids while playing). It was so funny!
She loved her crown and her gifts!
She loved wearing her pretty pink outfit from Grammy and Pop!
I made the princess cake. using a barbie and covering the legs with plastic wrap and a tube of poster board. Then built a base out of cereal treats and covering it in pink marshmallow fondant.
It was fun to do but I didn't have the time to get all the flour off her skirt.
Lilia was upset and wanted her doll out of the cake. We had to assure her she would get it back right after we sang Happy Birthday and no one would eat her dolly. Then I asked her if the skirt looked pretty and she said "no it looks silly. no one likes silly cakes." She's a character! That was actually an improvement over her screaming "GET MY DOLLY OUT OF THERE!" By the time the party rolled around she didn't mind so much.

Happy Birthday Pretty Princess! We love and adore you! You make us smile and bring us joy each day. You learned a lot while you were 2 and will become even more amazing at 3!
