Tortilla Chip turned Phone

Lilia kept saying over and over, "My phone broke".  She was using a tortilla chip as a phone. She was calling Poppy and Gammy.

Lilia 30 Months

Lilia you are 2 1/2 years old! You are talking a lot. You make up songs and sing for us. You love airplanes and know we go "high".  You will go potty for daddy in the toilet. You love reading books and we catch you reading in your room. Your favorite movie is Cinderella. You love to nap in our bed. You love to wear chapstick. Daddy swings you with his arms. Dresses are your favorite and they have to be "pretty". You now pray for us for every prayer. We try and help and you tell us, "shh" or "no, me".  You build towers with your mega bloks and knock the tower over. We love you Lilia.

****I had to add these pictures because she would not cooperate and take the pictures in her chair.  I am love her personalilty and think this shows it.



I don't want to have my picture taken.  You fold your arms whenever you do not get your way. 

Your scrunched up nose is so cute.  You are leaning forward so it looks like your body is small.

You started this the last month--fingers in your nose.  You think boogers are yucky but still stick your fingers up your nose. 



You have about 3 pairs of sun glasses.  You love wearing them.  I love this smile.

Elayna 7 Months (quasi)

Okay a little late.... We were in UT and then the rocking chair was buried.  She started to crawl while on vacation...a little knees and some feet crawling. Loves music and moves to the beat. Aunt Tuni feed her a lot of fun treats...frosting, crackers and other non baby food items.

Grocery Shopping in PJ's

I planned this...grocery shopping in pj's. This way they were ready for bed when we got home. Lilia loves to drive the car at the grocery stores. I think Elayna is having just as much fun. Lilia helped fine the bananas and cheerios. They are both yellow. They both went to bed soon after we got home.

The Door Stop and Elayna

Elayna is crawling!  She is everywhere and ventures off on her own. She found the door stop. It makes a great noise and a fun toy. What will she find next? She also loves my antique iron treadle sewing machine.

Dressed for the Day

This morning was an adventure....dirty diapers, change of clothes, dishes, drink of water, water all over the floor and getting dinner in the crock pot. We then headed to story time at the library. After story time we headed to see a friend. All of this happened before lunch. Busy day. *******Elayna is crawling now. She has no problem venturing off. *******

After Bath Playing

The girls love to take a bath. Lil' loves playing with the cups and painting with bath colors. Elayna loves all the toys and splashing.  Here they are getting dry and playing.

Elayna's First Ice Pop

Elayna loves ice pops! She made some funny faces. We needed to cool down and so we had ice pops. When we were done Elayna got mad there was not more to eat. Lilia did not want to share her remaining ice pop. We got another one out and split it into two and all were happy.

Chicken Pesto Zucchini Pizza

Lilia helped me make pizza. She helped measure the flour for the dough, tested the toppings for yumminess and make the pizza. She is a great helper. The dough is red because we used the juice from the whole tomatoes. This was a great dinner! Lilia even ate the crust and her part of the pizza.

Oreo Cookie

Here is Elayna's first keep cookie. She wanted to put the entire cookie in her mouth. She had a great time eating and loved the cookie. The faces she made were very cute. She did not let go or drop this cookie.
