Trimming the Christmas Tree

we always put our tree up on or around my birthday because i can never wait. Lilly really loved helping me and handing me the ornaments. and Clifford always puts on the star. here is a glimps of our new place but i will post picture of that another time when i take some good ones.

Pumpkin carving

i carved a Pooh Bear pumpkin for Lilly because she loves Tigger and Pooh.

What You've Missed....Halloween!

This Halloween Lilly wanted to be Tinkerbell because she is really into those movies and she makes us watch them all the time. so i made her whole costume, even the wings and i re-covered the shoes, too. she loved it and when i put it on her she kept twirling around. we had a fun Halloween.

What You've Missed....

we made pumpkin cookies and lilly really loved licking the bowl and it was ok because there are no raw eggs. she got so messy. and we also drew faces on little pumpkins and colored them and we had a lot of fun. we really were making the most of the Autumn season.

What You've Missed

we have been up to alot. i am so behind on everything so here is a catch-up. every year i make a fresh pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin and this year lilly helped me out a little more by stirring the mixture and helping scoop the pumpkin flesh out. she really loves pumpkins and really enjoyed helping mommy. and here also are some pictures of Lilly at 21 months.

County Fair

Mine and Lilly's first fair. it was so much fun. My brother and his wife, Nick and Nathaly, came to visit in August and we all went as a family. Lilly loves animals and kept saying "go to zoo" and we went to the petting zoo. We also rode on rides and my favorite. shared a funnel cake. Yum!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

Today is my wonderful hubby's Birthday. He is so GREAT and I am so proud of him. He has started his second year of school and is doing good and enjoying himself. He is a very hard worker and enjoys helping people. He is a great Dad and gives Lilly all his free time and she just adores him. I love him so much and we are just perfect for each other!

We Miss Uncle Spencer

My brother Spencer recently moved to Provo, Utah to be the third sibling to attend BYU. Lilly grew a strong bond with him and mentions him at least once a day. we told her he moved so now she always says "Spencie Ovo".
