Cutest video ever!!!!

We had a little show put on for us before bed tonight! This is something she learned in dance. I don't even know what she is saying in the end but it amuses me :) I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Lily!!!!

I can't believe Miss Lily is one!!! We just had a little dinner for her right now. With it being around the holidays we are going to wait until June to have her big birthday bash. Lily will celebrate 1/2 birthdays. Plus, we can have an outdoor party, which is much more fun!! We love you babygirl!!!! Happy 1st birthday!!!!

Wildlights

We love the zoo, so every chance we get . . . we are there :) Sophie was so into it. She kept asking where Santa was and where the Reigndeer are. She kept saying the lights were so pretty. Lily doesn't look excited, well she wasn't!!! She wasn't excited about being out in the cold and she wasn't excited about being up past her bedtime! How fun is it going to be when she also gets into it??? I can't wait!

Aquarium

Really the only part of the zoo we could enjoy. Tyler was all about finding the sharks . . . such a boy :) Lily's look of wonder is just priceless. It is amazing to watch them, always learning, it's great!

Hot Chocolate!

Best part of being out in the cold . . . atleast Lily's favorite part :)

Petting zoo

Always the hightlight of our zoo trips. I thought before at Wildlights they had the Reigndeer here and you could pet them. Maybe it has been so long, I don't remember. But they were not this year, they were real far away and you just look at them. Kind of a bummer, but Sophie and Tyler will still tell you, "They pull Santa's sleigh and that is how you get your presents" So cute, they are going to be a blast on Christmas morning!

SNOW!!!!

Just a dusting, however, still very exciting for a baby who has never seen it :)

What a bad dog looks like . . .

Shhhh . . . don't tell Aaron, he doesn't even like him upstairs, let alone on the bed!!!! I was putting laundry away/changing the sheets and he just wanted to keep me company, thats all :)

Please Vote!!!!

You know we did!!!

She is learning something in dance class . . .

PLIE . . . cracks me up! Yes, I had to use google to look up how to spell that :)

Pigeon Roost Farm

Tyler is sooo STRONG!!!

Picking the perfect one

Lily's perfect pumpkin
How tall this fall??? The four amigos . . . partners in crime :)

This is such a great place! We love it there! I don't know if it was a good idea to go to Boo at the Zoo before we came here though . . . when we asked Sophie what she was going to do with her pumpkin she said smash it!!! Lets just hope when we do carve pumpkins this year, Sophie doesn't get upset like she did last year. This year she has her own "baby pumpkin" that we will are not going to carve. I hope that helps :) I know this will be a Fall tradition for years to come!

Boo at the Zoo

It was cold when we first got there, but by lunch time it had warmed up enough to take our jackets off. All the kids in their costumes looked so cute. They gave a lot of the animals pumpkins to eat. The best by far was the Gorilla. Sophie had a front row seat when he ate his pumpkin. They had vendors set up so the kids could go trick-or-treating. We love the Zoo, but this was a lot of fun. It was very busy, though! Which we are not used too because we usually go during the week.

10month/OSU/Halloween pics

Yeah, I know, I am a month late . . . I am a slacker!!! I think these pics turned out cute :) Except Sophie's side pony!!! Which I want the record to show I didn't do!!! She had pigtails and between rolling around on the floor and the way she kept turning her head, it turned out looking like a side pony . . . darn it!!!!! She is still beautiful anyway, plus Lily's turned out really darn cute!!!

Go Lily Go

We noticed this last night before bed - what a big girl :)

Cousin Ryleigh

She is just the sweetest thing :) Mimi now has 3 girls!!! Sophie loves her - cousin Rywe!!!!

Hocking Hills

Aaron and I took a long weekend to Hocking Hills this weekend with Jen and Jason. It was the 1st time in 2 1/2 years that we have gone anywhere by oursleves. It was a nice, well needed break. However, we were missing our girls terribly by the last day. We couldn't get home fast enough to see them!! Hocking Hills is beautiful!!! We love Jen and Jason!!!! We hope to make it a yearly trip :)

Sesame Street presents "The Body"

They didn't really understand they were learning about the body - All they knew was that they were having fun!!!!

Teaching her right

To all my Republican friends/family . . . you know you love it :)

Won't be long until she's walking :(

My baby is not a baby anymore!!!!

How big is Lily???

SO BIG!!!!!

Lily's 1st Spaghetti

I don't think there would be anything this kid wouldn't eat.

Helping Daddy

Yeah, Mommy doesn't bake!!! Tried . . . failed many times. I really enjoy cooking, but I have never had much success with baking. I will leave that up to Aaron and Sophie :) Oh Yeah, they are making apple bars, and they turnded out VERY yummy!!!

Apple Picking

My camera died (of course) This is the only good one I got (of the three!) I will have to wait for Jen to send me some more!!!
