Happy Birthday Liliana!

Friday was Lily's big #2! No, not that #2. But she'd get an M&M for that!

I can't believe my baby is 2. Wasn't she just born? Wasn't I just leaving the hospital yesterday with a tiny little life?

Well now that tiny little life is a little bit bigger, goofier, and an amazing little smarty-pants.



She obviously takes after her mom in the cuteness department, dontcha think?

We filled her room with balloons on Thursday night after she went to bed. Scared her when she woke up. Oops! This is after she decided that the balloons were okay and fun to play with.


Then we went to Memorial Park in Wilsonville to play in their awesome water feature. If you havent been there and you have kids, go there. Take them. They'll sleep well.




Grammy & Papa got her a new kitchen for her birthday. We gave it to her on Saturday before her party. She loves it. I get dinner made for me every night. A little plasticky though...

I think she's trying to cool off in the fridge.


I haven't been able to download party pictures yet, but there arent many. Our awesome camera sat on the charger all day to be ready, then when it's big moment came, it freaked and said the battery was dead. What a drama camera.

I'll post those later.

Lily did get to play with her new fingerpaints last night. A little messy and kind of stinky. They smelled like pumpkin? But she had fun and the paints didnt stain the table (Love that!). That's what matters.

This whole birthday/party stuff really wore Chica out. I think she might still be passed out.

Second Birthday Resolution

Yes, I realize I'm a slacker and that I havent written a post in about 9 months (though the latest post doesnt really count, so it's really been over a year!). I'm going to make a new resolution to post at least once a week starting now. Won't be so easy since our laptop died and that's my only connection to the online world other than my phone. Have you ever tried to write more than a sentence or 2 on your phone? Yeah, not going to happen.

In other news...

My spunky, punk of a kid will turn 2 (yes, 2!!) tomorrow. Where has the time gone? Wasn't she just born?

And being the slackers that Jesus and I are, we've just now decided to start planning her birthday party. Tonight. Yes, her party is on Saturday. Yes, we'll get something figured out. Kiddie pool anyone?

I already invited everybody, that's the important part, right? See, I was thinking ahead!

Hopefully Jesus' parents will just decide to make a big, yummy, Mexican meal and we'll call it good.

I'm taking tomorrow off and since Jesus doesn't work on Fridays, we're planning to take her somewhere fun for her birthday tomorrow. We have a couple of ideas, but nothing in stone yet.

Here are our ideas:

Zoo

Water Park in Wilsonville

Water Park in McMinnville

The end

Anybody got any other ideas/suggestions?
