Father's Day

For some reason, Father's Day makes me even mushier than Mother's Day. There is something about Daddy's and their little girls.... It just makes your heart melt. Once again, Lila knows just how to wrap us around her finger....see below. (I think it is just the fact that it is Sunday, which means no nap at church, which means, totally exhausted by the time we get home from lunch.) Michael sure was in heaven though!

I am so thankful that I have a husband as wonderful as Michael and that Lila has such an amazing daddy. I couldn't ask for anyone more. One of my favorite parts of the day is watching Lila when Michael walks in the door. I hope that she always thinks as much of him as I think of my own father. When we were first married I don't think I gave Michael enough credit for things. I just knew that if Michael couldn't do it, then I could call my dad. In my eyes, my daddy will always be able to do anything, fix anything, and know the right thing to say and do. Even though Michael and my dad are very different in certain ways, I have seen Michael grow as a man of God, he is the most dedicated worker I know, and has also turned into that man who I look up to every day and is my world! God is so good to me to give me such wonderful Dad's. My own Daddy, my father-in law, and my amazing hubby! Happy Father's Day!

When I picked out what Michael was to wear for church Sunday morning, he didn't know I had planned for him to match his baby girl.

I had to show houses on Sunday, so we just went out to eat instead of cooking. I gave Lila bite of my strawberry and the next thing I know, it is devoured! I usually just cut it up in small pieces, but I thought I would let her have a bite. Too funny!

I will be walking soon!


This sure would have been a cute picture if the drill and my shoes weren't in the way. Can you tell I was over wearing high heels for the 4th day in a row? I am not sure I even made it in the door before they were off!

Wedding Time

It seems like as adults you go through phases where everyone is getting married at the same time, then everyone is getting a new house at the same time, then everyone is having babies, etc. etc. The year that Michael and I got married we went to 13 weddings and 2 different times we had 2 on the same day, and I was in 5 weddings! Since that year we haven't had as many, but for some reason, it has started back up again. I personally think it is fun and it reminds me of the vows that Michael and I took. I was in my good friend Amy's wedding last week. I will not go into details about my nightmare bridesmaids dress. I just had to remember that it was not about me! We had a great time and Amy was beautiful. They called me the make-up Nazi (surprise suprise). Hey, I wanted everyone to have their lips on so that the pictures turned out good. :) Anyway, here is a snapshot of Michael and me and me with the Bride. Fun times!

Favorite Fotos Friday

I went in to see Lila before going to bed and this is what I see. So funny!

Birthday Party Attachment

Please read post below first....This is a continuation from previous party post. FYI...I tend to edit my posts quite a bit, so you may have to read them multiple times before you read or see everything.

Lila is so loved that even my dear friends Jenny and Julie, who were not able to be at the party on Saturday, drove all the way from Morristown on Sunday to visit with Lila. As usual, they did WAY too much for her, but it sure is some cute stuff! Thanks Fen!

Pool and Jump House Fun!

Spoiled Rotten by AP(Coach)! We love you Angela!!

Lila knows and loves her Grandmother! (having the necklace helps too)

Waiting patiently for cake, ice cream, and presents!!! ( I truly wish I was thinking clearly and would have taken a picture of all her presents before she opened them.)

Now this is just plain funny...Aunt Karen is the BEST!

Whew...what a fun and exhausting day!

One Spoiled Little Girl!

Well, after trying to go through the 500 gazillion photos taken of Lila's birthday, I am hoping to actually post some today. First of all, I can't say a big enough THANK YOU to everyone who came out to celebrate Lila's birthday!!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who genuinely love Lila and care for us. The amount of toys and clothing this little girl received is quite unbelievable, but she has been having a great time playing, which is very helpful to mommy! Although it was ridiculously hot outside, I think everyone still had a great time! Thanks to the Morgans for their use of the jumphouse...it was a hit, as well as all the swimming pools to cool off in. I could not have pulled this party together without the help of my husband and wonderful family. My poor sisters and mom worked from the time they walked in the door till the time they left.... making cakes, fruit skewers, decorating, cleaning up, etc. It was non-stop, but it sure turned out super cute! This will be a long post, so I will try to keep the wording to a minimum and just let the pictures speak for themselves. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! I hope you had a GREAT 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

Let's start with opening presents. She was so funny and loved everything she opened...especially the cards!

Where is the cake?!?!?

Fun with Friends and Family!

Ok, I think I am overloading blogger. More later!
