Welcome Great Pumpkin!

Lilia was fascinated by this sign at the airport. We are looking forward to seeing the Great Pumpkin!

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Imagine this...woken up at 6 am and Lil' climbs into your bed. She will not go back to sleep. She starts to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider. You can not understand her or the tune. How do I know it is Itsy Bitsy Spider? Hand motions! So cute! You can not help but smile!

Children's Museum of Denver

We went to the Children's Museum and it was a lot of fun. Lilia got to make big bubbles, crawl down a rabbit hole, grocery shop, make crayon rubbings, and slide down a slide. She had a lot of fun wondering around and touching everything. It was a neat place.
I will post more pictures later.

We drove by Molly Brown's house (the unsinkable Molly Brown).

We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. Lilia loved the chicken and broccoli. We got to meet Brandi(soon to be sister in-law). She is very nice and a lot of fun.

We went swimming again tonight and Lilia had a lot of fun. She spent a lot of time jumping off the edge, going under and then daddy bringing her up for air. She is a swimmer! She also did some swimming on her own and did not mind. We were there to grab her. She is fearless.

Swimming

I know this picture is blurry. We went swimming tonight after dinner. Grandma H went down with us. She took video for us and pictures. Lilia loved the water. She kicked and put her face into the water. She also loved jumping off the side. This summer we will have her take swimming lessons. She does not mind going under the water. She noticed her reflection on the ceiling and loved looking at herself and the others in the pool.

Denver Zoo

We are at the Denver Zoo and it is a free day. We are having fun. Lilia loves seeing the animals. We met up with Grandma and Grandpa H around lunch time. We started walking around and found Grandpa something to eat--hot dogs! We then met up with Uncle Mark, Aunt Amy and my cousin Cindi. We walked around and saw a lot of animals. We are headed back to a different hotel. We are here for my brother Nathan's wedding on Saturday.

Hacienda Colorado

We flew into Denver Colorado and got to our hotel. We asked about restaurants that were within walking distance. Hacienda Colorado here we come! It was across the street. Great service and yummy food. Lilia is congested. She proceeded to throw up all the congestion at the table. We were quiet and nobody noticed. They helped us clean her up. Lilia had slept very little all day and crashed when we were getting our luggage. She had a good nap but was very tired. She drank a lot of sprite and had a little bit of food. We ate our meal in shifts while the other walked Lilia around. She was very good considering how tired she was. It amazes me how strangers have to say hello to her and tell us how beautiful she is. We love our Lilia and she is beautiful!

Gladys Knight!

 

 

Went to a concert\musical fireside tonight. Gladys Knight was amazing and her choir. We loved the evenning.  The music was beautiful and uplifting.  We heard songs from all different cultures.  Gladys conducted the choir and sang a few songs as well.  They are performing on Sunday 17th at 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 107 Twin Hills Drvie, Madison TN.  If you do not have a ticket it is okay. They had plenty of room tonight for lots of extra people (300 or more). If you love gospel music and want to know more about the Mormon church here is your chance.  This is a free event.  Here is the webpage for more information:  http://www.suvchoir.org/ 

 

My First 5 K

I walked my first 5 K.  It was a small event but that was better for me.  Asher and Lilia participated as well.  Thanks Lovey!  We had a great time.  Momma went with us and kept me on track.  Samantha walked with us as well.  We talked and the walk went by quickly.  I am happy with my time and did better than I thought I would.

Leaves!

We went to the zoo today with friends. We had a great time. Lil' slept on the way home. We got the mail when we went outside and she was barefoot. She loved the leaves. I tried to get her to look at me but she was interested in the grass and leaves.

Grocery Shopping

We went to two stores today. Dinner is planned. Lil' got 2 stickers from Kroger. She had the stickers on her hands and moved them to her feet. She was so happy to show me what she had done! What a cutie!
