A kiss for "Yily"

"Yily" is my beautiful sister. I like to give her kisses to make her happy.

Cheese!

We are both getting so big! Do we look alike?

My best friends

To infinity and beyond! Buzz and Woody are my pals right now. They sleep with me every night and I try and take them just about everywhere. Mommy found Toy Story pjs for me also.

Will be a hamburger with fries or a hotdog?

Look at the little lady in the kitchen.

Big Boy School

I started "Big Boy School" last week. I go on Tuesday and Thursdays every week. My first week was a lot of fun. I have my own locker and I get to carry my new red back-pack. Oh I can't forget to tell you about the school fish. His name is Nemo. I'll keep you posted.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

This is a cute video of Lily (Niny) and Mason. The giggles put a smile on my face.

Lily turns ONE!

I'm One today! It's hard to believe but my first year is behind me. It's been so much fun getting to know my Mommy, Daddy and especially my buddy Mason. I've mastered eating yummy people food, sleeping for 12 hours straight and of course, my famous scoot. I'm not walking (or crawling for that matter) because I have become very proficient scooting on my butt. I can't wait to see what year #2 brings!

Bounce Land

I went to my first Bounce Land Birthday party. It was a blast! Happy 3rd Birthday Maria!Check out how brave I am. I climbed all the way to the top and then I flew down the slide with a huge smile of my face. :-)

Fun with our friends in South Haven MI

We had a fun day playing in Lake Michigan.

Our friends Emma and Gavin


We ended the day with Dora ice-cream pops. They were very sticky and very yummy!

Lily isn't crawling yet but this is her scoot. This is her way of getting around the house. It is very unusual but pretty funny.

Summertime fun

Fun with Myles in the sprinkler.

John Ball Zoo

Nanny, Mommy, Lily and I met Uncle Peter and Aunt Rebecca up in GR at the John Ball Zoo. We had a fabulous day. We had so much fun watching all the animals. I kept telling Mommy that I didn't like the snakes and the lions. My highlight of the day was going for a camel ride and touching the sting rays. I would love to go back again. Soon!!Getting ready for the zoo.
I'm touching a sting ray here.
That's a light colored sting ray.
Mommy and I riding Sassy the camel. She only had one hump.
Smiles all day :-)

Fun at Meijer Gardens

We had lots of fun with our friends Aunt Heather and Rachel at Meijer Gardens. They have an entire area just for kids. It was a wonderful Michigan day!
I never thought playing in a fountain would be so much fun! Hopefully the water is filtered!
Rachel and I sailed boats around these fountains that are set up like the Great Lakes.
I'm a big girl having my first tea party.
"Oooo some trees have bumpy bark and others are nice and smooth".

Happy 4th of July

We had a really fun and busy 4th of July weekend. On the 4th we went down to the Tomlinson's (Myles) family cottage and enjoyed a Mexican fiesta. Mason really enjoyed the Mexican pinata and his first speed boat ride. Lily enjoyed cold cerveza . Just Kidding! On Saturday Mommy and Daddy met up with some good friends in Detroit with NO Kids. Mason and Lily were spoiled by Nanny and Pop-Pop.
