Moods of the Day

Uncle Derek performed a "Moods of the Day" for us before his mission.  Now, here is Lilia doing the same.  I don't know if the audio will come through.

What I see at the end of my bed...

Lilia! It is a great sight! She knows how to climb up on to the bed.

Summer Cold

This last week or more we have been fighting a cold. Lilia and Mommy feel a lot better. Poor Daddy is very tired! We hope to be better soon!

Pajama's

Lilia is wearing the pajama's Grandma H made for her. They are a little big still. This winter they will be perfect. She looks darling in them.

Silhouette of a Family

We took a walk today so we could get outside. It is not fun when the whole house is sick. Lilia is doing much better. It is mom and dad who are dragging. When she brings her shoes to you and then sits by the door you know she has won. The walk was great.

Rollers and Happy 4th of July

Lilia loves to play with my hair rollers. I put them in her hair. She wore them for a few minutes and pulled them out. This is her 4th of July outfit.

Happy 4th of July!
We are so thankful to live in this country. Bless all those who have served and who are serving that they will be protected and given peace.

Blackberry Picking....... Eating

Last year she sat in her stroller and this year she was everywhere. She even picked her own and ate them. I had to watch and encourage her to get the black ones and not the red ones. She loved eating them. You can see her mouth is stained and her clothes. Yummy! Here is Grandma R and Louise (Melelani). She is clean because we have not started yet. Friends met us there and we had ice water and water melon for dessert after picking berries. This is a great tradition for the fourth of July. We also got peaches. Lilia loves peaches. She ate 1.5 peaches.

Going After the Ball!

Lilia was playing a game with a ball. She would roll it under the bed, lift the bed skirt, get the ball out. She never went in with her head, just arms. She did this over and over. So funny.

Garden Soil

She loves the garden. I love the smell of soil. I pulled a few weeds on the side of the house.

Slide and Swing

Lilia loves the slide. She climbs and goes down by herself. She is not afraid. After this picture I caught her standing at the top of the slide. She claps when she is done. She likes to swing. She would let go and then grab back on to the swing. She thinks she can do anything!
