Silly Lily


Lily's Birthday Party
These pics are from Lily's FOURTH, third birthday party. She was tired, but had a ball. Thanks Heather for snapping all these pics!

Chillin' With Parker


Presents!


Red Frosting. What Was I Thinking???








Go! Diego, Go!
Just ask Heather. Diego is like a member of our family. Thanks again, Heather, for snapping the crazy pics! Thanks, Nana, for the "Rescue Center".


Rocket
In my spare time I created "Rocket" from the kids favorite show "Little Einsteins". I know, again, what was I thinking? But, I think the kids really enjoyed it and it's still in our living room.


Lily & Courtney Being "Musical"


Happy Birthday Girl

A Story
On the morning of Lily's Birthday Party, I took her to Wally World to look around and get her out of the house. While there she wanted to test out the BIKES. So, off we went and she had fun looking at the girly bikes but really couldn't ride them well. Which is exactly what I expected. She just wasn't strong enough in her legs yet to propel her forward. Finally, I told her, "Here, if you can ride this one down to the end of the isle, I'll buy it for you". Well, she just took off on her little $30, BOYS bike!!! She is now the proud owner. The good news is that Jon will get it next summer (it will be the perfect size for him then) and Lily will get a new girly bike in the next size up (16 Inch). Here's my girl, very proud of her new skill.


Rock Throwing. Another Adventure





And Then, Jon Fell In; Way In
Thank you Daddy for taking the time to rescue him while I got a picture!

Wow, third post. Jen those pics are great. Looks like you had a lot of fun. The red frosting was the best, but what were you thinking??? It looks pretty shallow, so how did Jon get so wet? I do understand how hard it is to go places with two kids and only one you, so I guess it was really great that Daddy was with you then. You'd have had to rescue Jon and we wouldn't have the pic! Thanks for sharing. We love you all.

Hi Jennifa
I just checked out Lily's 3rd year page. Too cute! I loved it all, but specially where you had to sell your spare kidney to buy her shoes. Honey, Just so you know, you don't have a spare kidney.
Thank You for all you do to keep us posted. I love you lots!

Hi All,
This update was a fun one! So many great pictures and stories! Looks like Lily had a great 4th 3rd birthday party! And yes, red frosting doesn't look like the best choice, too funny. Lily's bike looks like lots of fun too. And the water adventure looks like fun! Thanks so much for keeping up your site, it is so much fun to see what the kids are up to.
Love Aunt Bev
