Lily Quotes

Here's a few funny quotes from Lily.

This morning after giving Claire a hug- "Claire, you're a part of our family so we won't let you get in the shark pool."
I'm not quite sure where the "shark pool" is but I'd guess it has something to do with Ollie teaching Lily about sharks eating people.

Lily begging for more sweets...
L- "Pretty please?"
Mom- "No."
L- "Pretty please?"
M- "no."
L- "Handsome please?"
I laughed pretty hard but the answer was still no. :)

So Lily has this fear of slides. I think she has a hard time balancing so they scare her. I feel that once she learns how to do it she will love them so I'm always making her go down the slide. Today after going down the slide THREE times holding onto Mom's hand I got her a sucker. As I was giving her the sucker I said, "Lily, you can do hard things because you are amazing. I'm proud of you." Lily responded, "Yeah, I can do hard things so I can get suckers." Not quite what I had in mind. :)

Lily gave her first talk in church a few weeks ago. She was super excited to have a turn to talk in the microphone. She did a really good job!



This watermellon was from our garden. It was super delicious. We started with many but this one was the only one that survived.



I'm sure I win the mother-of-the-year award for letting my baby put balloons in her mouth... but isn't she cute?!?



Ollie is very into drawing animals lately. Here's a picture of his jumping dolphin. I'm sure I'm biased but I think he does good for a 6 year old.



Claire is our super cute alarm clock. She gets Mom up at 6:00. Then at 7:00 she gets the other kids up. The kids get up much better when they wake up to a cute little sister. :)

Lily's first day of school





Lily is doing a co-op preschool with some children from church. She was nervous about going to school at first but we had our first class at the park and had a party so she was excited about it. I love these pictures. You can almost feel her excitement! She is loving going to different friends' houses and learning about different things.

Ollie's first day of school




Ollie's been in school for a month now... but here's a few pictures from the first eventful day! He is at a new school but he's adjusting well. He likes his new teacher. His favorite subject is PE. This year he's started more testing and homework each night. He's growing up much too fast!

This, That, and the Other







Here's a few miscellaneous pictures. Hope you enjoy!
