picture of the final result, aka, what i was shooting for 

apparently...

I like to take pictures of my Lily sleeping!




 It's just something about a sleeping baby that gets me every time!  I'm trying to take as many pictures and note the memories while she will still sleep in my arms as I know those days are growing fewer and fewer.

Does it get any cuter than this?

Not if you are Thomas James' and LaLa's mommy!

MGM Lights

Here are some pictures from when we went to go see the Osbourn Lights show at MGM.  Thomas was in awwwwwe of the lights and Lily hung out in the bjorn as usual.  We had a great time and enjoying watching Thomas dance and stare at the lights.

Pinterest creation #2

At it with the chalk board paint again!  This time with plastic wine glasses for our annual Holiday party with our close friends, before we had kids!  I can't wait for everyone to use them in a few days :)

Pinterest creation #1

Chalk board paint and silver platter from the dollar store!  I think it looks super cute and has been our Christmas countdown!  Hard to believe there are only 4, almost 3 days till Christmas! 

A day at the park with Nana

The kids and I went to the park one day with their Nana.  It was chilly out and we had a great time!  Here are some pictures of them on the swings, Lily's favorite thing about the park.

Already picking on her brother!

And just like that the little pea of the house is already picking on her big brother!  While Lily was finishing up her morning nursing session and Thomas was insisting on climbing up on the chair with us, Lily started pulling his hair.  She is going through the "If it's within reach I grab it phase."  Let the picking on one another begin...ohhh no!

Christmas Cards

Here are our Christmas cards this year!  I love them and have sent out 98 this year!  Whew!

Double Stroller Action!

This was the first time we used the double stroller with Lily out of the infant bucket and in the big girl seat!  I had to take some pictures of the kids in it because I just couldn't get over how big Lily looked!


Lunch at Rainforest Cafe

This is what happens when I try to take a picture of Thomas...

He runs around like a CRAZY man!  Hilarious!  I had to share!
THE BLUR!

THE ESCAPE ARTIST!

THE COVER MY FACE WITH MY SHIRT!

It's that time again...

to make baby food!!!  Lily is at the age to start eating solid foods, well she has been for a few months now.  She is eating 3 solid meals a day now!  Wow, when did that happen?!  Here are some pictures of some sweet potatoes, butternut squash, apples etc.  I tried it a few different ways this time, in the snack sized ziploc bags how I did it with Thomas and in ice cube trays to try and save plastic.  I recycle my plastic bags after I use them but it's better to not use anything.  



Lily girl!

My sweet girl!

the little man in full effect

After I put Thomas down for a nap one day I came back to the couch to find this!  How cute!
