"Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we wanted them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come." Joseph F. Smith

Price of Formula
These are the measuring spoons that come in the cans of formula. We did not keep every single one but this is close. There are 48 in this picture. On average a can of formula cost $25. That is a total of $1,200! Wow! She is worth it! We probably paid $20 on average per can.
Lil's Favorite Books
She is back to reading "Where is Spot?" She loves "Goodnight Moon" and "A Mother for Choco". I love all three books. She loves finding the moon and the bear with a bag on her head dancing. It amazes me what she remembers and what she points at every time we read them. She picks what she wants to read and I try and mix in other books but she loves these three!

Big Fish!
Look what we found.....a BIG fish! We will use this fish as our Jonah and the Whale fishing game at our Fall Scripture Festival. I know it is not a whale but it was a cool find. It will be fun to take pictures with this fish while the kids fish. Hope they be obedient and not get swallowed by a whale of a fish!

Music....Sort of
Lil' loved this activity! She was occupied for a good twenty minutes. We talked about loud and quiet sound and hard and soft drumming. We turned the bowls right side up and the sounds were different. She had so much fun! They make great hats as well!
5 A.M.
This is what happens when Lil' wakes up at 5 A.M. She was waiting on "cookies" to bake after breakfast. They are not really cookies.
She is so cute. She spent the morning with Daddy.

Dragon Park
We headed to the park today with friends. Lil' had a great time running around, swinging, sliding and climbing. The weather was perfect for playing at the park.

Little Foot Steps
It is so much fun to hear the little patter of feet on the floor. We waited a long time to hear the patter of her feet. We are so blessed to have Lil' and our birth mom in our lives. We are so happy to be her parents. We love teaching Lil' the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is amazing to see her face light up when she understands and feels the spirit. We were watching General Conference on Sunday and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was singing and she was attentive and captivated. Lil' has cute feet. We want to guide, teach, and walk beside her and show her where to place her feet as she grows up. Show her that home is a place of love. Church is one of the places where we serve and teach each other the way to return to our Heavenly home. Temple is where our feet need to be to learn the ways of God and to make covenants with Him. It takes little foot steps and line upon line and precept upon precept. We love hearing her foot steps.

Popcorn
Grandma and Lilia love popcorn! Notice her hand full of popcorn and the other is filling her mouth. Yummy!
Feeling a little better....
Lil' has been sick since late Thursday night. She threw up twice late Friday night. Her temperature was as high as 103.6 F. She had her 18 month wellness checkup (shots (DTP)). Her teeth are hurting her as well. She became congested on Saturday. She has eaten a lot of ice pops and any thing else we can get her to eat. These pictures are from today. She was relaxing with me on the couch, taking her temperature and fell asleep on the floor instead of her bed, its been a busy day at home. She is feeling a lot better.
