My Week with JT

With Lily at Mimi & Grants for the week and Brian visiting his dad, it was just me & Jake & the puppy dogs.

His first ice cream from the ice cream truck!

His chipped tooth! (this actually happened when everyone was home, but I didn't get the picture till now)

Blue fruit snacks in his teeth - yum! (such a good mom...haha)

The cheese-face!

Sticking his bottle in his bowl of mashed potatoes

Thinking he's pretty funny...

Drinking with the bowl stuck...

Lily's Week with MiMi & Grant

This summer, Lily spent a week at Mimi & Grant's house - all by herself! She was so excited to go & have them all to herself. They stayed very busy & (they say) they had a great time! :o)

Pool Time!

Motorized bumper boats! How cool!

Children's Museum

"Shopping" for ice cream - what else?

Feeding the ducks

The babies are so cute!

Aquarium

The shark train!

Looks like lots of fun was had by all! Thank you so much MiMi & Grant!!!

Just one question: Can I spend the week at Mimi & Grants?! hahaha

Sleeping Beauty

Lily has recently decided that a sleep mask is absolutely necessary for her to go to sleep. (Not sure where she got this idea, but I think Hannah Montana might be needing to find a different little girl to influence). All she talked about for DAYS was going to the mall & getting this sleep mask - and that she could be sleeping a whole ten minutes sooner if she could just get this sleep mask. (My suggestion was to turn off the night light if brightness was the issue, but my suggestion was quickly refused.) So after the third day of hearing nothing but a certain little girl begging to go to the mall, I relented and bought her one. For once in her life, she couldn't wait to go to bed. She slept with it for 2 nights & I haven't seen it since. Well, that was fun while it lasted!

Blue Bell Creamery

We took the kids to the Blue Bell Creamery for a tour (which Brian says he remembers doing when he was in kindergarten!). We all had a great time & Lily has a new career choice - after finding out if she works at Blue Bell she can eat as much ice cream as she wants!

Enjoying their ice cream after the tour

Paw Paw's

Getting a ride from Dad on the "wagon-horse" - Lily's riding in with her (water)guns blazing! :o)

Lily's Fancy Party Day

Lily's friend Addison decided she didn't want a birthday party this year - she wanted to go out with a few of her closest friends dressed to the nines! Lily was invited to dress in her finest & hit the town for a classy afternoon with Addison. They had lunch at the finest establishment in town - McDonald's, of course! (haha) and then went to have their fingernails & toenails painted at the nail salon. Lily came home super excited ~ and with BLACK fingernail & toenail polish! Very chic.
