Public Cry for Help

Hi everyone! Some of you may have recently recieved an email from me, but I am trying to plan a trip to Florida in August without Lily (that's the hard part!) I have had so many great people rallying to help, but I still have a few days where I need a babysitter. Here's what we're looking at:

Friday 8/14 from 11:30-6:30
Monday 8/17 from 11:30-6:30
Tuesday 8/18 from 9:00-4:00

I know this may sound like torture, but if you're willing to take even a few hours, it would be greatly appreciated! (Hint: Lily LOVES movies and popcorn...that could easily take up, oh I dunno...6 hours! :)

Matching Skirts

During her nap yesterday, I whipped together a little surprise for Lily and her best friend Teddy...matching Dora skirts! A 2 year-old girl's dream come true!



We've also been watching Robin Hood like crazy...probably 5 times a day, Lily asks: "How 'bout...Robin Hood...want to?" (She's a genius, I know) When I remind her that we're only allowed to watch RH once a day, she throws her body on the floor and pretends to cry. What a baby.

Monday Night

We're too prideful to admit that we may OR MAY NOT have totally had a family home evening last night. Nevertheless, we did have a lot of fun!
~Lily helped me water the flowers:


~Lily blowing bubbles at the park...she is so cute!



~The boys flew some rockets they built. The first was pretty cool, but the second went SO HIGH!! It was fun to watch...I think we got the whole park's attention!



~And Lily stayed nice and clean as we enjoyed some ice cream at Sonic.

Ali Ice Cream

Ali, Dari and I had such a fun Girl's Day on Saturday...we went to Dari's headband party, went shopping, and -of course- out to PF Chang's. MMmmmm! It was so fun to spend some time just as ladies!!

Life Lately

It's Pioneer Day here in good old Utah...so why don't you put on a bonnet and parade around town? Actually, please don't. That is so stupid and SO embarrassing.
In other news, I snapped a few cute ones of Lily and Charlie:

Lily also went to her friend Abby's birthday party and it was THE CUTEST party I've ever seen! Everything was cupcake-themed; decorations, games, pinata, cupcakes and cake, and the kids loved it. They were also super hopped up on sugar!


We are having fun with Ali here, and she brought Lily a present--A magic wand, tutu, and fairy wings. Needless to say, Lily loves them!

Brenna is so cute!

Brenna, Lily's favorite aunt of all time, watched Lily for me the other day and we accidentally left her Teddy there. Lily was so sad because she wanted to play with Teddy, eat with Teddy, wipe Teddy's bum and change his diaper, and sleep with Teddy. Then I got a picture message from Brenna that looked like this:

Lily loved it! It definitely kept her spirits up until we got Teddy back from Brenna's house. Thanks, Bren!

Kissy Kissy!

I love you, Dan Dan.
