Happy Birthday my love.

Wow, the big 3-2. You are becoming such an old man. Hee Hee We love you so much. It stinks that you had to work today, on your birthday, but I am so glad we got to celebrate your birthday with all of our family and friends last week. You are more than I could ever ask for in a husband and a dad. You make me fall more and more in love with you every single day when I didn't think it was possible to love you anymore than I already do. We love you boo.
Love,
Your girls

Our Lillie monster is 5 months already?!?!?


Wow, 5 months since our Lillie monster came into our lives. Time is just flying by. Lillie, a little of what you are doing....you are starting out on solid food, yaaaay. You love whole wheat and sweet potatoes, but you are not so sure about the green beans yet...hee hee like father like daughter. Louie would be so proud to hear one of your faves is wheat...lol. You still talk up a storm, smile all the time and the best is every time we get you out of your crib, you look like a baby bird flapping your arms and legs trying to get up to us with the biggest grins. You are rolling over both ways and doing a great job keeping your noggin up. You still love to stand, and only need a little help doing it. You are working on sitting up and crawling. You scoot around like no mans business all of the time. hee hee You are definitely a licker, anything you can get that crazy tongue on is yours! lol You are the most precious little girl and daddy and mommy love you more than words can express. Don't grow up too fast little monster. xoxo

Birthday celebrations with my Dad and my hubby....







My dad and Dan's birthdays are only a week apart...dad's is on the 5th of March and Dan the 12th, we always combine them for twice the birthday fun! :) This year we actually celebrated it on my dad's birthday. So, in honor of such a wise old man (wink wink) I made all of my pictures retro style thanks to picnik, which I LOVE! Thank you so much Mel for finding that and sharing!!
So, back to birthdays, it was a fun night. Mom made dad a cute cake with clowns crawling all over it and I made french silk pies for Dan that he requested. :) Happy Birthday to the two most important men in my life! I love you guys!! xoxo

For our Chewybear...






I have always dreaded the day I would do this post, because it would mean he was gone. Louie's pain was just too much and we painfully decided it was time to help him. Louie left us on Friday, and it was the hardest day of our entire lives. He went peacefully in my arms as I whispered to him how much we loved him.
Life will not be the same without him, I know we will get better and our days will get brighter, but he will always have a part of our hearts. I was going to list all the wonderful things about him on this post, but first of all that would take forever and those that read this already know how wonderful he was. :)
Louie had been by my side since he was 8 weeks old and went through all of my ups and downs with me. He was lucky enough to meet Dan when I did, and Dan loved him just as much as I did even though he only knew him for 4 years. Through my ups and downs Louie also had his, his torn ACL, surgery to fix it only to re-injure it a year and a half later. I am just so thankful we were with him through it all and that he held on long enough to meet Lillie.
These past 3 days have been horrible, every little thing reminds us both of him, but we have to keep telling ourselves, he isn't in any pain anymore and is in a better place. And now Lillie has the best angel ever looking over her. We love you so much Louie and always will. xoxo

Our Valentine's fun...




This year for Vday Daddy surprised his two favorite girls with dinner out on the town! We had so much fun and Lillie was so good. She sat with us and played with her giraffe from Nana and Papaw she got for Vday, thanks so much you two!!
I made what I thought in my mind would be C-U-T-E cupcakes, yeah as you can see there is a reason I am not a professional baker, didn't really think the whole brown icing through and they look like poopcakes. LOL Oh well, they sure didn't taste like poopcakes!
Daddy also surprised his girls with flowers and candy, as you can see Lillie loved her flowers. She wouldn't keep her hands out of them. :)
What a wonderful first Valentine's Day for Lillie. Looking forward to many more! xoxo

4 Months!


We can't believe she is four months already!! She is so close to rolling over, she just can't seem to figure out she needs to move that other arm out of the way. lol She is doing so good with tummy time, even pulls her legs up under her with her booty in the air trying to move. She is still such a talker. Two nights ago she had Dan and I in stitches she was laughing and screaming so loud it was too funny. She is a drooler, a lover, loves loves loves to play on her matt and sometimes loves to snuggle. :) She knows what she wants and when she is tired she wants in her crib. Good for us but sad for my snuggle time. Every once in awhile I catch her so sleepy she gives in and falls asleep in my arms.
This month we try new things! Cereal!! I can't wait to see her face when she eats those, she hates formula so I can only imagine what she will do with this new stuff. I have been having to supplement a little with formula because I just can't keep up with the girl!
We love you so much Lillie Monster. We look forward to every new adventure with you! xoxo

Lillie got an adorable hat and mitten set along with some cute earrings from Poppy and Bama for vday. She seems to love the hat but the mittens are getting in the way of sucking her thumb! lol She sucked the glove anyways. hee hee Thanks so much you two!
