Elizabeth's turn!

All the pictures and videos seem to leave out Elizabeth, so here is her very own video.

8 weeks old. She's smiling and cooing.

Hi Grandma & Papa!

Mark is saying hi with his milk face :)

Sledding with Dad

Another snowy weekend

We got around 5-6 inches of snow on Friday and the snow continued to Saturday. Mark's getting bundled up for some fun in the snow. Too bad Lily isn't here to enjoy it with us!

Jim made a sled for him out of a top to a tote.

Mark's snow angel :)

Baking Night!

Lily got a cookbook from GG and just had to make something the day she got the book. Here is her creation.

Then and Now...

Lily at 1

Lily at 8

My beautiful young lady!

Happy Birthday, Lily!

January 18th was Lily's 8th birthday. She enjoyed her birthday cake for breakfast that morning. Mark has to do everything his big sister does, so you can see them both digging in the cake.

Lily's 8th Birthday Party Part 2

Lily's homemade cupcakes :) Notice the 8 in the middle of the cake? Yep, brilliant Mommy spelled Birt(h)day incorrectly. Haha - I guess we're all allowed one stoopid day.

This is Mark's girlfriend, Ashlyn. :) You should hear him yelling her name around the house.

Her party was a success. It was a pottery painting party. She had a lot of fun! She isn't one that enjoys all the attention on her at all, but she sure likes her parties. I can't believe she's 8!

Lily's 8th Birthday Party

Lily wanted homemade cupcakes this year...

And Mark helped!

Yay for 45 degrees!

We get to play outside for the first time in a while. 45 degrees may sound cold, but when it's been in the teens and 20's, we will take it!

I love my baby sister!

Blue!

Snow Day!

School was cancelled last night around 7:00 p.m. due to inclimate weather, but the snow didn't come until around 11:00 a.m. today. The kids just had to get out and play in it!



Daddy took his mittens & scarf in the van to work, so he's wearing Lily's. :)

They were having snowball fights...

Does this remind you of anything? Yea, I put Mark in so many clothes that it was a scene right out of A Christmas Story when he fell down. Poor guy! Haha.

From our dusting of snow...Murfreesboro's smallest snowman! :)

Happy 21st birthday, Camila!

Camila and Lily decorated a cake

The cake I decorated :)

Lily & Camila's cake

We had a great fun evening!

I'm 1 month old today!!!

Wow...this month has flown by! She is such a great baby. She loves to be held. Mark & Lily adore her. Mark is so sweet...he calls her Ella, which is pretty funny because others have tried to tell him to call her Liz or Beth to make it easier on him, but he made his own name for her.

I'm 20 months today!

Mark is so much fun to be with. He can be hard headed at times and sometimes he feels like doing exactly what he's not supposed to, but most of the time he is a great kid. He has a great personality and is very smart. Although not talking as much as Lily was at that age, he knows just as much and has great motor skills. He can figure out how to do something on his own or by watching us once...scary! He is fearless and will climb on anything. He loves his sisters very much!
