Playing Catch-up, Christmas 2010

Yep, trying to do a full catch up again, so the pictures will be on OVERLOAD! I've been so busy with trying to get finish my degree and getting a new job, then with the holidays, and cutting back on my internet time, the blog has been neglected! :( BUT the camera is always in full swing!!!

Here are some photos of Lilah's time in IL with her dad's family. They all LOVED having her there and she was so happy to see them again! Even though Mommy missed her dearly, I know she had a wonderful time and an overload on Christmas!!!

I just love those slippers on her and she loves to wear them!

Surprise for Lilah's Great Grandparent's!!!

Last weekend Lilah and I traveled North to visit Trent's side of the family in Illinois. We surprised what would be Lilah's Great Grandparent's for their 50th Anniversary party. Grandma and Grandpa Ward were really surprised when we both came walking in the door! I was able to capture some great moments with everyone:

Lilah with Grandpa Danny

Uncle "Ry-Ry" and Tiffany

Grandma Judy and Grandpa David,

50 years and still going!!!

Grandpa Danny and his Princess

Lilah with Uncle Shane

Looks like Shane is getting a talking to by 

Grandma Judy!

Uncle Ry-Ry didn't know what he was getting himself into

letting her 'see' his phone...

This was about 10 minutes later...

And about another 20 minutes later-see how Uncle Ry-Ry is now holding

her phone? Not as cool because it doesn't work!

Ballon time!

Grandpa Danny got a perfect shot in with the ballon!

We had so much fun this past weekend being around friends and family-everyone loved seeing Lilah, all eyes were on her. It was nice to get a little extra sleep while I was there also! Thank you everyone who welcomed us while we were there. 

Happy 50th Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa Ward

We love you!!!

At the lake in Illinois

Yep, I found more photos folks! Like I said a few weeks ago, I am going to try and post more blogs, which means I have to space out the photos that I take!

Lilah and her boys at the lake: Uncle 'Ry-Ry' (Ryan), Uncle Philip, and Daddy. Oh this girl is sooo spoiled!

Yep, this is what her and daddy like to do now! He can spin her twice while she is in the air, and this is the best shot I could get of her spinning!

Lilah LOVES to do the ittsy-bitsy-spider, thus the reason why Grandma Vonda is patiently singing this song over and over and over again!

Waiting for the boat ride to begin!

Here with daddy, still waiting to see if this is the boat we are going to ride, or if we need to move on to the next!

This is the view of the lake from the balcony of a friends house. It was such a nice night out, the weather was perfect!!!

yea, I know that there are not to many pictures of me on here, but Trent actually captured a decent photo, so why not post?! I'm usually the one Behind the camera, not Infront of the camera!

I hope you have enjoyed our photos thus far! Oh and I want to send a very big

WELCOME HOME to our cousin Jeremy Ward. He just got back from his long deployment - WE LOVE YOU!!!

Trip to Illinois

As many of you know, we spent some time visiting with Trent's family. It was a great visit with them. Liah and I went to visit over Thanksgiving break last year while Trent was deployed, so they were waiting on Trent to get back from deployment before he would be able to see them again. The trips really aren't about us anymore, but we still enjoy our trips there! As you will see from the photos, the trip is all about LILAH!!!

I think at this point, her Papa Danny was ready to get off of the merry-go-round!

Lilah's face here was to priceless! She loved to go on the swings!

Spending more time with her Papa Danny.

Here she is with her Great Grandparents David and Judy Ward.

And even more photos with more Great Grandma's! Great Grandma Judy Ward and Great Grandma Monnabelle Beadles.

Looking so innocent on Grandma Vonda's lap!

And Grandma Vonda and Gary had to get there photo's in also! Oh goodness, she was full of photo's that day!

Thankfully the swing set and cousin Caryn were near by to help save the day from photos!

I wish I would have gotten more photos while we were there! But I was not able to, we were to busy chatting away and catching up with friends and family! I will have to 'steal' some photos from other family members in the near future and post those as well!!
