Simple Pleasures

Lily has discovered and fallen in love with one of my life's simple pleasures-- Diet Mountain Dew!!!

Aunt Elizabeth will be so pleased to have another fan and supporter of guzzling the Diet Dew!

Anytime we are drinking a can of bubblely goodness, Lily has a watchful eye for when that can leaves our hands and is standing in Lily reach!
For almost anything she really likes now, she lays her hands on her chest and says ''Hmmm...."

You can watch Lily enjoy a "Hmmm...cold coke".

Oh, the weather outside...

is DELIGHTFUL! It is starting to feel a little more like ALABAMA.
Jackets and blue jeans are for the birds.
 Mr. Sun has made for some very nice Saturday outings.
We have made it habit to take Lily on a ride in her wagon and to the playground.
It has been absolutely splendid and you know where to find us on the weekends.

Play all day and Party all night!

The good life of a toddler.

Don't worry.

Work hard then play hard.

We always find time to READ!

It starts with "L"

What starts with "L"?

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
LILY!

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on learning letters with Lily. She has already mastered her vowels and now she can spell her name.

That's right.

L-I-L-Y and it starts with "L"

Big Party Girl

Since we got a little behind on our posting, I will have to do a little back tracking!

A couple of weeks ago Lily got her first invitation in the mail to a birthday party for her good friend Kennedy--exciting!
I went to school to with Kennedy's momma and our babies are only 4 months apart. We have been so fortunate to have them in our lives and a close friend for Lily!

Kennedy turned one with Poodle in Paris birthday party!

Mmm... CAKE!!!

"I hope it's chocolate for me..." (JG- for the Oztekin's)

It was strawberry... homemade... and delicious!

So Lily thought she would share!

Lily and Kennedy played so nicely!

Happy Birthday Kennedy Rhea!!!
