Lily is 4

My Lily bug is 4 as of June 22nd. I can hardly believe what a fun, beautiful little girl she is. On her birthday she chose her gifts. She wanted a Lady buy pillow pet and a Fur Real dog. We also went out to eat and went to see RIO at the movie theater. A few things about Lily these day: She runs around like crazy all day. And then the second she sits down she falls right to sleep, in two seconds flat. It is hilarious the positions she fall to sleep in, I have never seen someone be completely asleep and sitting straight up on a seat with no back. She cracks me up. Her energy is contagious. She is a lot of fun to be around. She always wants to play with her friends. She love to cook with me. Especially if I am baking rolls or pizza. Her favorite part is to roll out the dough. And she likes to add ingredients to the kitchen aid and turn it on and watch is "spin". I wish I could explain the facial expressions Lily gives me on a daily bases but I wouldn't do her justice. She can make me laugh just by giving me a certain look. Her favorite color is "lellow", her favorite movie changes on a day to day basis but I think it is Little Mermaid these days, her favorite foods are pizza and burritos but she will eat anything and she loves to try new things. Lily and I have special dates when Calvin is in karate. We usually go try something new at a restaurant or go shopping for something fun. She is a very smart, fun and helpful little girl. We love having her as part of our family.

Jump, jump, jump!!

The kids love jumping off of the deck on to the trampoline.

Cute cousins!

Ava and Evelyn both 13 months old and both adorable and fun little girls!

BreAnna's Baby Shower

I am very excited that my sister is due to have her first baby in July. She is expecting a little boy and I was lucky enough to throw her a baby shower with my mom and sisters in law in my backyard. It was beautiful June weather and we had a good time. She got so many cute things. The blanket she is holding up was made by Nancy, Jon's mom. And the last picture is the outfit I gave her. I was anxious to give her this outfit because she loves dogs and it has a cute little dog and it says I love mommy. How fun it will be to have a new little nephew!

Family Pictures June 2011

We had a service auction for a Relief Society activity a few months ago. The activity was a blast and I won the bid on free family pictures from Cat Poulsen, owner of Knees and Toes Photography. We went up to Gardner Village on a Saturday morning in June and had a good time getting our pictures taken. Thank you Cat, we love how they turned out!

Lily's Preschool Graduation

Lily is done with her first year of preschool. She really loved going to Miss Janae's a couple times a week and she is excited to go back next year. She learned her numbers 1-10. Her colors and shapes. She also learned how to sort. She knows her letters and there sounds pretty well. She is a social bug and loves to play with the kids in class and Miss Janae said that she always listens to instruction and she is always nice to everyone. Her program was really cute. They learned songs about colors and sang them to their families. Her program was on my birthday. We went out to pizza and ice cream to celebrate both. It was May 27th and it was pretty cold and rainy, look at my mom and Ava all bundled up. The weather sure has been cold this spring.
