(Video) Raspberries...

Here's a video of Lyla playing with her ball after TJ got home tonight! It's pretty funny! If you can't hear it, she was blowing raspberries on the ball, and thought it was hilarious!

The weather outside is frightful...

I'm posting some pictures from previous weekends! TJ's parents came up to spend some time with Lyla so TJ and his dad hung Lyla's swing. Now every time we open the back door to let the dogs out Lyla wants to go and swing! Even in the cold weather. There is also a picture of Lyla in her precious velvet leopard jumper! It's so cute! Stay tuned for Valentine pictures!

We are sitting here tonight relaxing and watching TV waiting to hear, or not to hear, about the Winter Storm coming our way. We'll see what happens. I don't want the day off. Our make up day is the Monday after Easter and I will really need a break from the wigwams about that time in April! We go until June 3rd this year, which is crazy, so we need as many breaks to rejuvenate ourselves as possible.

TJ was summoned for Jury duty and has spent portions of the last two days in the Georgetown Court House. He was selected so hopefully the trial will be short. It was nice to have him home today before 5:30pm!

Ha ha ha...

The other night Lyla was finishing her dinner of pizza and yogurt when she tried to take her own bib off. She got a face (and nose) full of yogurt, the part she dripped all over the front of herself. She didn't think it was funny at first, she was stunned, then she started cracking up. Here's the pictures of this funny memory!

Vroom, Vroom...

We were outside the other day playing with Nolan and Ms. Kristin when Lyla turned and started running for their house. I tried to distract her and get her to come back and play with her toys that were out but she had set her sights on something in their driveway. After a big, hairy fit I finally gave in and let her show me what she wanted. Nolan's red car! She went right for it! See how she reacted made me think...is it worth a giant fit everytime she sees his car. NO! So, I went and got her her own red car! She loves it! (I had thought about getting her this toy awhile ago just never got around to it.) Lyla loves to play outside and until recently did not have any "outside" toys to play with! Now we have a garage full! Daddy has to park his car on the driveway until we decide how to fit everything in our garage!

Our celebration!

We rang in the New Year by going to my parents and playing games while having adult beverages! Lyla played until 10:30pm! She liked Uncle Bubbie's boots!!

Well, since my brother and his wife were here we decided to spend the night instead of driving home. Bad Idea! Lyla was asleep but of course woke up when we went to bed. All five of us, TJ, myself, Lyla, Titus and Sophie, all in a queen sized bed! Lyla was in bed with us because she woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep! Every time the dogs moved or shook she woke up. Finally, at 2:45am I said, "Forget this, we're going home!" Good thing we don't live far away!

We got up the next day and got ready for my cousins to arrive!!

Happy New Year!!

We said "Goodbye to 2008" with a little stomach bug yesterday. Poor Lyla was sick, but recovered quickly. After the first round of urps yesterday we were watching Ellen and she was dancing and laughing with Ellen. I wish I had a video of it! It was so funny! I'm posting a picture of Lyla carrying around her barf bucket yesterday morning! She liked to play with it and never had to use it! I will post pictures from our New Years Eve festivities and New Years day tomorrow!! Happy 2009!
