Lilly Claus!

In Lilly's bath last night she had too much fun with her bubbles.  We think she is getting ready for Christmas by the look of these!

Go COWBOYS!!!!





On Saturday 8/16, which just happened to be Lilly's 10 month birthday, we went to the Dallas Aquarium for a little family fun.  Lilly had too much fun looking at all the fish and seeing all the other kids in their stroller.  Here's a few pics!
Lilly loved watching the big sea otters from above the glass!
She points at everything now because I taught her to do "Go Cowboys!" so now she does it all the time.  And she points at things she likes of course....like sharks!
Mommy and Lilly watching the flamingos!




Lilly's new favorite snack and toy

We have discovered those little sugar wafers, except these are sugar free, and Lilly is in heaven!  She loves them and would eat them all day if she could!  Here she is sitting with Daddy eating a chocolate one, yummy!  She also has her usual sneaky expression that she does all the time!

Lilly is soooooooo big!!  Literally....look at those precious chunky legs!  I could just eat them!
Here is Lilly with the new Lion walker I got her yesterday.  I was going to get her one that she sits in but this is a little seat she can ride around in and the seat props up to a walker.  We are working on it, she loves the lion though!


Custom baby goodies!

I've been doing the tables for a while and now I am on to dresses and cute little clothes...mostly for girls but i'm trying to come up with some little boy stuff.  Here's some pics!





Save the date!

Lilly Grace's first birthday party will be Saturday October 18.  We don't know the time yet but it will be at our house and it will more than likely be some sort of princess theme....she is a princess and all, right?!  I can't believe she is almost one!  What a precious little gift she is, sweet baby girl!  We thought we would add an oldie but goodie pic of our little bundle when she
 was just a newbie!



Just plain cute....





Some cute pics from this weekend.....the last one is of the board that Clint made for Lilly with doorstops on it.  She loves the doorstops so he just got creative and she loves it.  

Ginger Man!



On friday we went out with Jason and Michelle, Brooke and Justin, Rory and Amanda, and Steph and Leslie and had such fun!  It is Steph's last weekend with us in Dallas so Pixi came in to watch miss Lilly for the weekend.  Lilly was a little sad when she left but we will be back in OK for 7 days over Labor Day!

Trip to the mall...

She already loves hot sauce just like her Grandpa!
Get up there little monkey!

We have discovered the play areas at the mall, Lilly had such a fun time and played with tons of babies.  It took her mind off her teething pains for about 30 minutes then it was time to go.  We will definitely be back!

Sweet angel baby....




Here is our little precious flower head in her eight month old portraits!

Sour face!!

Greatest pics ever...thank you Aunt Lauren for snapping them just in time!!




Lilly is already almost 10 months old!



Gosh we wish we had discovered this blogging thing earlier!  Lilly is getting so big and becoming a little lady right in front of our eyes.  Everyday we are so excited to see her the second she wakes up and she keeps us constantly entertained.  Right now she is crawling around like a maniac and loves to be chased.  She starts screaming and crawling super fast when you chase her.  She is also becoming fascinated with the stairs so the baby gates may be coming out asap.  She loves Stoney, not so much Beau, and of course her puppy Dottie.  We think they all like her too.  Right now she is saying "dada" and "nana," which we have determined means mama.  So cute!  She is still quite the passy addict, but we are trying to only give it to her at bedtime or in the car.  Lilly was over baby food really quickly and now she is eating everything.  Her favorites are sweet potato puffs, steamed squash, mac and cheese, spaghetti, chicken, mozzarella cheese, and any kind of noodle.  This little one will eat just about everything though.....but we don't think she likes bananas.  She must take after Uncle Jason (Daddy loves bananas so this is upsetting to him.)  She is so smart and knows so many things already it just amazes me.  She will find her favorite book out of her huge toy basket when you ask her to find "moo moo."  She will also share her passy with her big bunny, which is actually a stuffed bunny chair (thanks Meston's, she loves it!)  She also started giving kisses, which melts our hearts with love everytime!!  It is so amazing to me that she has only been here for 10 months and already she does so much.  Where did our little baby go.... 

Our story!

Hello family and friends!  Since most of you live out of state or far enough away that we can't keep you updated regularly, we have started this blog for you!  Our lives together as husband and wife started on December 31, 2005 and our lives really got exciting when we welcomed our sweet baby girl Lilly into this world on October 16, 2007.  She is the highlight of our days and a constant reminder of all of our blessings.  We hope you check this blog out frequently because we plan on posting bulletins often along with videos of our little Lilly!
