August 2011
(May-December in Review)
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Phil. 4:8
August was filled with more family time, mommy/ daughter dates, and Elsie's adoption. We have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to praise God for!
Date with Tia, Uncle Eric, and Mama at Chic-fil-a!
LilaGrace, 14months
Snuggling with Tia and Uncle Eric on the couch.
Cooper is a good big cousin.
Found the pots and pans!
Playing with cousin EK.
We get to see her the most, since she lives less than 2 miles from us!
Uncle Eric Loves his Nephews and Neices!
Kisses from LJ!
Sweet Smiles from MM!
Mommy/ Daughter Date to Steak-n-shake and Target.
We giggled, got lots of attention from others in the restaurant and had a really fun time.
"Mama, put your hands there!" -Lila Grace
"You can't put them there? 'cuz I have my feet up." - LilaGrace
This girls LOVES rocking chairs! Rock Rock Rock!
We were wearing out party tutu because we were celebrating EK's Adoption!
Cousins Duke and Booker playing with LilaGrace in her Kitchen.
Loved getting to see my cousins' children and our children playing together! Such fun!
Smiley Girl!
Date at the Mall... she LOVED the independence... and the slide.
She kept going up and down... and didn't want to share with the other children. :)
Taking a walk with Mama at the Park. She kept her sunglasses on the whole hour! She's stylin'!
Playing in our room... who needs toys?
Ever since she started walking she has been on the move!
Cruising with her baby stroller throughout the house.Just stopping long enough to say "Hi." to daddy.
Check out my jeggings! Thanks Aunt Melissa!
Michael and I had the honor of taking LJ and CJ to their meet-the-teacher day at school!
Levi in front of his new 1st grade class!
On our way to Coop's KINDERGARTEN class!
It was kinda funny, as soon as we walked into CJ's room, the teacher recognized me!
We had played intramurals in BCM... many MANY years ago!
Then she asked if these were mine... I quickly said, "Oh no, these are my nephews. I have a one year old."
(I was thinking; "Is she crazy?! I am not old enough to have a kindergartener! (laugh at self!) oh my gracious! I am! I could even have a middle-schooler just like the teacher!" fun times!
Mama date to target... trying on crowns.
Mama takes a turn... now it's Lila's turn. I think it fits! :)
This girl LOVES salsa!
Lila watched Daddy eat some salsa and chips, we thought if we gave her a taste she wouldn't beg for it! NOT! She loved it! and kept eating it over and over! Now when we go to chili's, her favorite part is the chips and salsa. Silly girl!
More please!
Today we were running errands and I picked up a pack of Peanut Butter M&M's... Lila had done so well shopping that we both deserved a treat. :)
This was her FIRST taste of M&M's... I think she liked them? :)
more please!
And I will leave you with this... her face when I said that they were all gone! :)
I love this girl! She brings so much joy and delight into our lives. Each stage, each day... more and more our love grows!
