The new backyard hangout

The slide is super fast...it's been fun to watch all the adults try it out!

Lila's new favorite spot...the swing! The first night we got it up she sat in the swing for over a hour!

Our little monkey has already mastered the rock wall!

Lila's Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to You! Lila's first cake attempt didn't go so well so after a nap we did a "do-over!" Needless to say she was a much happier girl :)


Lila's fancy Luau Cake

Hmmm.....I'm not so sure about this.

Where's Lila? Faith, Allysen and Wade digging in on Lila's leftover cake!

I gotcha ya! We lucked out and had great weather despite the weathermen saying there was a chance of rain all weekend.

Wheeee!

The men went around the neighborhood playing bocce ball.

Thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate Lila's 1st birthday!

Happy Birthday to Lila!

We have not forgotten our birthday girl!! We went all out for Lila's 1st Birthday Party this year...put up our new swingset (thank you Tim!), planted trees and made a new flower bed. You would have thought we were having a high school graduation party!! Obviously Lila rules the roost and is the apple of her daddy's eye :)

Little Miss Lila has grown-up before our very eyes...I'm not sure where the year has gone. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. The little stinker is taking her sweet time learning to walk. At times, I think it would be easier if she would even though everyone says to enjoy it while it lasts! She keeps on wearing through all her pants with all the crawling she does!

Have a good weekend everyone! I'll get pictures posted soon!!

Two Little Muchkins

We've been busy outside with planting flowers and watering...lucky me, I have 2 helpers!! Wade helps me plant and Lila likes to dig things up (aka eat dirt!).

Wade and Lila

After looking through our pictures I realized that I don't have many pictures of Wade and Lila together. Here is my attempt this week....

It got off to a rather shaky start.

Hmm...I wonder what he's telling her.

Playing nicely together (they both love to get into Wade's barn)!

A lucky shot...picture perfect.
