Cowgirl!

I found Daddy's cowboy hat and thought it was pretty cool! My outfit wasn't complete till I put on his boots!!!

First Day of Pre-School

Today I started pre-school and I loved it!! Lots of my friends are in my class and I enjoyed playing with them, doing a craft project, having a snack, going to the bathroom lots of times and even playing on the playground!!

I was also proud of mommy because she didn't even cry. She was so brave!!

I was so excited to go!!

Funny Things She Says!

Since I have trouble remembering what my kids did last week, I thought I would blog some of funny things Lilly says just so we can remember!!!

First of all, I wanted to give a Gage update!! At Lilly's doctor apt. on Monday we weighted him and he's gained 1 pound and now weighs 10 lbs.!!! He has also found his little and loud voice. He squawks all the time. He especially likes to squawk when he's in his bouncy chair. He continues to smile all the time and has even started to laugh. It's just the cutest thing ever!! He has also become proficient in rolling over. And while we are proud, unfortunately he rolled over during his nap yesterday and couldn't go back to sleep!

Overall, he's been a really good baby and I am loving my little boy! I think he has me wrapped, though! Carl says I spoil him too much, but I just can't stand it when he cries!!

Okay on to Lilly!!

Lilly starts pre-school next week and she's talking up a storm. The thing she comes up with just cracks us up!

Last week while in the Keys she found some snails outside. She was telling Carl and he just couldn't figure it out what she was saying. This is because her "V's" sound like "B's". For some reason everyone found this saying to be funny and we heard it from the older kids the rest of the week! This is what she said followed by what it sounded like!!

"Two snails moving over there." Two nails moobing ober dere."

The other night Lilly didn't want to sleep in her bed but rather in our bed. Carl was watching tv and she came out telling him her woes. When he told her to go to bed she said "I'm done talking about it." I don't want to talk about it anymore...I'm sleeping with you."

While Lilly and Carl were down at his parents Lilly stuck her tongue out at Pop Pop. Carl said "Lilly Grace" and she came storming over to him and said "Do you want to talk about this right now?" Carl responded "Yes, I want to talk about this" and she followed up by saying "Well I don't want to talk about this right now." Unfortunately everyone was rolling in laughter and she got away with her bad attitude. Where does she come up with these things?!?!

She also calls Gatorade "Alligator". And she has started saying "Oh my gosh." Not sure if I'm too keen on this one, but I guess she hears it from me.

I know there's more, but I can't remember anymore at this point!!

Our Vacay to the Florida Keys!

Last week we traveled down to Kudjo Key for a very needed vacation! We stayed with Pop Pop, Jackie, Mandy, Anthony and Ren in a house on the water. We spent the week visiting Key West, swimming in the pool and going diving/fishing on the boat. I had lots of fun and the highlight was that I started swimming on my own. Mommy and Daddy were soooo proud of me and I was pretty impressed too!

While on vacation Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 8 year anniversary. They went to dinner in Key West (with Anthony!!!).

Gage tried the pool, but was hungry & wasn't too happy about the water! Obviously he was happy once he ate!

My unique sense of style!
