Cat Family

 My kids are animal lovers, and thankfully we have very tolerant kitties!

Baby Lu gets so excited when Juan sneaks into the house, which typically happens several times per day. He always checks her out and licks her fingers.  She has just gotten to the point she wants to touch him.  

Lilly was about a year old in this picture.  She stills loves her cat as much now as she did then!

6 months

How is it possible that this little bundle of joy has been with us 6 months already!  

 At 6 months Lucy:
*weighs 16 lbs 3 ounces.
* is 26 1/4 inches long.
* is still sleeping and eating like a champ!
*loves, loves, loves being talked to and being the center of attention.
*is all over the place!  She is so very close to crawling and right now is rolling and doing a sort of army-crawl-arms-then-belly drag across the room.

One of her favorite places is right under Lilly's chair at dinner time.  Just keeping an eye on everyone!

Crafty Me

 I hit up Pinterest for a way to solve our headband and clippy mess.  Here is what I came up with. 

I bought a black frame on sale at Hobby Lobby, added some hooks to the bottom, spray painted it shiny purple, and stapled some ribbon to the back side.  Perfect!

Wordless Wednesday (a day late)

K-S-U WILDCATS!

This past Saturday, just like every other Saturday when the Wildcats play at home, we packed it up and headed for Manhattan.  Hanna and Grant were in town and Lilly was so excited to see them!  All I wanted was one good picture of the four of us. 

Check out my shoes Aunt Hanna!

No clue what Lilly is doing!

1 out of 4 looking at the camera.

Apparently trying to escape.

Some deep conversation.

Again, only Hanna is paying attention.

Let's be done already!

 I am going to blame my husband for never getting a good picture.  His method is to snap and snap and never count to three.  Wonder where he gets it from?

2 Little Pumpkins

 Pumpkin number one is Lilly and pumpkin number 2 is Lucy.  

I keep thinking Lucy is taking on her own look, and then I get out old pictures!  Amazing how similar they are!

Sidenote:  my husband just asked which kid is which!

Happy Halloween

I am so happy Halloween is over!  After all of the chaos at school, I just about didn't have enough energy to celebrate with the kids! Lilly and her besties (Olivia, and Zoe) got to wear their costumes to dance class the day before.  Cutest Dorothy, Snow White, and Olivia (hehe) I have ever seen!

 Nana Bobbi surprised Lilly in her clown costume! I think Lilly knew it was her, but was pretty confused. 

 She warmed up pretty quickly and thought it was pretty funny!

Lucy wasn't thrilled to be hauled around and put in and taken out of her carseat over and over again.  She was pretty mellow about the whole thing.  

We made half a dozen stops and called it a night.  Lilly came home with far more candy than she would even need.  Good thing she has a mommy with a sweet tooth!
