Halloween Preview
Muma had way too much fun shopping at Sam's Club. Lily and Jon got a bunch of toys and their Halloween costumes! Muma was right and both costumes are a bit big, so Lily tried on Jon's and really enjoys being a duck.
Play Group
Because I like chaos, I've started to host a playgroup for about 6 kids (and moms) once a week. We trample all through the house and then have lunch. Out of all the kids, Lily was the only one to eat lunch and she had a double helping. She is growing like a weed and LOVES to eat.

Jen,
Thank you for allowing us to "be there" while the kids are growing up. You do a magnificent job, and the kids are wonderful about providing the photo opps. It's really nice to be part of your lives this way.

I can't believe you just kept taking pictures while Lily poured water over Jon's head!!! I also can't believe he looks so happy about it!!! That is just too funny. And the full house of little ones looked like it must have been lots of fun! Miss you all!
Love Aunt Bev
Wow... halloween costumes already?? Lily is cute as a duck and I know she quacks very well. :-) What is Lily suppose to be? A playgroup.. Jen you must be out of your mind! (just kidding) I bet the kids love it. I love the pics of the water. I, to, can't believe Jon just sat there, he looked like he enjoyed it too. Lily can have her fun for now until Jon gets old enough to fight back!! :-) Well I have to get back to work, but I love seeing all of the new pics, keep up the good work. Love you guys!!!

More Dancing
My girl takes after me. It was freezing in the studio and she started to turn blue and was shaking uncontrollably. So what if it was 90 outside, I had brought her a sweatshirt and saved the day! She looks a little out of place but the instructor said that she did great and followed along with most of the instructions.
This Just Doesn't Seem Right
More Cake?
Lily celebrated her 2nd Birthday this week! She had a small birthday party with some of her little friends. It was a really fun time and she got some cool gifts. Thanks to all who came!
Lily, that is just gross! Even with as much as I love chocolate, that is yucky!!! But you look like you were having fun anyway. And your dancing looks fun too! I think you should give Jon back his chair. Some day he'll get even!
Love Aunt Bev

My Dancing Girl
Lily started taking dance lessons this week. She has got to be the most adorable little dancer I've ever seen! She absolutely loves her tap shoes.
Dancing In The Hula Hoop
Too Interested In Watching
That's My Girl
Doing her own thing. Who says you need to stand in a line to bow at the end of the show?
Deanna Rose
We spent a few days this week going to Deanna Rose. It's a working farmstead and they have lots of animals and fun stuff like that. Lily loves to feed the goats, chickens, fish, ducks and herself. Here she is playing at the park outside the farm because we were there before it opened. (We're diehards!)
Feeding The Goats
Where's Jon While We're At The Farm?
Slingin' it.
Or sleepin'
Where's Waldo?
Actually, Jon is really in this picture!
A More Clear View
The WALL
Uncle Dan and Aunt Niki came up towards the end of the week. Dan came up to help build "The Great Wall of the Fuller's" but he brought monsoon weather with him and it rained way more than I've seen it rain here before. It took the guys the entire trip to get the wall built, but man, is it a great wall. We now have a beautiful "level" playing area for the kids. Here are some pics.
Well, Dan and Niki, we can't thank you enough for all your help. I know the kids will really enjoy it! Lily's still asking for you guys at the dinner table. She really misses you!
Jennifa,
I love you too!! You're the absolutely best daughter anyone could ever ask for--you'd be the ultimate best if you were here, but I'll settle for absolutely best! These pics were the greatest. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, greatful that you do this for us. Lily is just too darn cute in her little dancing outfit. Okay, she's independant, but she comes by it honestly. Jon looks so cute standing up, my goodness, but he didn't waste any time did he.
The 'Great Wall of the Fullers' is beautiful. You've made it blend in with your neighbors. I'm sorry that the weather was so bad, but Dan said that he had a great visit. He really loves the kids and had fun with them. The kids are going to love having that play area. They still have plenty of nice hills to sled down in the winter (you and Ray, too, of course).
Thank you again for doing this for all of us. I'm off to Lily's page to check up on the last of her monthly pages.
Love to all of you.
Muma

We miss you guys too, seeing all the pics make me miss you all even more, especially the kids, they are very sweet!!! Talk to you soon!! Love you guys!!!

Posted by: Aunt Niki at August 22, 2005 06:18 AMNine days until I get to see you guys again! I can't believe I will get to see you three times this year, Jen! That hasn't happened since we lived two streets over from each other! I can't wait to see the kids. I can't believe Jon is STANDING! Lily is so cute in her outfit. She'll have to show me some of her dance moves!! Love ya!
Posted by: Auntie Katherine at August 23, 2005 09:46 AMThese are way to cute! I love Lily in her dance outfit and I love how she showed them all her way of doing it! Gotta love that hat she wears out! I just realized I like it so much because I use to have one like it many many years ago! And Jon under the table is too cute, won't be long and he'll bump his head! Your yard looks great, can't wait to see it in person, Dan and Ray did a nice job! How did Nicki avoid being in any pictures???? Miss you all!
Love Aunt Bev
Lily, you are the most beautiful dancer there! You look so happy. Nana is so proud of you!
Posted by: Nana at August 25, 2005 08:46 AMWhat A beautiful little dancing Lady!! I think she gets that from her Nana.
Jon is really growing up fast! Wow Jen , how do you keep up with them both??
