Sunday Easter

To continue from the previous post, we spent Easter Sunday at my mommies house! Let the pictures roll!

My mommy made chocolate dipped strawberries, they

were sooo yummy!!!

The girls on Easter! They look so pretty

in their Easter dresses!!!

A little bit better pose, it's VERY difficult to get

2 and 3 year olds to sit still for what seems 

to them a 'long' period of time!

Also, for Easter, my nephew's got to read an Easter scripture

passage before we ate. Elijah did very well! 

I was able to get lots of gorgeous pictures of the girls outside...no captions needed!

I do realize that I am waaaay overdue on posting things on time, but we've been uber busy with life! As we all know things just get ahead of us! Yes, yes, I am trying to play catch up at this point, so the following post will be filled more with pictures than words!!!

Saturday Easter

We usually have two Easter Celebrations in my family-one at my Dad's house and another with my Mom's side of the family. The weather was starting to get a bit chilly and windy outside before we hid the Easter Eggs', so inside we went for the Easter Egg hunt this year.

Here come Syndey and Lilah all ready for the hunt! 

*side not, these are the outfits the girls got for Easter, thus the mismatching on their parts! hehe They loved the dresses so much they did not want to put their other clothes back on!*

And along comes Micah!

Sydney, I found one Auntie!

Lilah had a secret advantage this year-majority of the eggs were at her level! Yep, there is a benefit to being a Little Person besides being so darn cute!

Mom, look at all this candy inside the eggs!!!

Mmmhmmm, gonna have to figure out a way to eat this while Moms not looking!

Look what I found inside my egg Auntie!

Sydney asking if she can eat her candy!

Jayce is counting his eggs and comparing the number with his brother...

sibling rivalry, even over the number of Easter Eggs!

This is my brother-in-law Jerry catching Esater candy in his mouth! 3 out of 3!

Such a cutie here! Micah posing for the camera!

I know it's waaaay late, but hope everyone had a very happy and fun Easter!

Spring Weather Play

Since the weather has started to warm up this past month, we've taken advantage of Papa's deck and the interesting finds in his back yard! Lilah found this pink and purple car in papa's back yard, sitting all by its lonesome! Mommy had to take some water and a scrub brush to it, but it's practically brand new!

Ok mom, the sun in directly in my eyes! Hurry up and take the photo so I can drive outta here!

On this day, we stopped by the park for some play time.

My cool girl in her new Hello Kitty Shades from God-Mother Teresa!

She wasn't to sure about what this was or if she even wanted to ride this bull-dozer. She would walk back and forth about 5 or 6 times, look at, touch it then walk away. I finally convinced her to get on and she loved it!

I was so excited because she was going to go down the slide and was hoping for a great picture. Instead the slide faces directly to the West and the sun had been hitting the slide for the past 4 hours or so- no condition for sliding! She's pointing to the slide and saying "Mama it's hot!" You can see the "hot" face!

I love spring weather, all the pretty flowers and photo opportunities! I need to get some cute spring photos before the rain washes all the pretty colors away!

Straight Hair

I am sure most of you have already seen these photos, but I thought I would do a mini blog about them. It has been almost 2 years since I had attempted to straighten Lilah's hair.
The first time I was so scared to straighten her hair because I thought it would not go back curly after I did-boy was I wrong! As soon as she started to sweat, as with most achon's, it curled right back up! That straight hair episode only lasted about 30 minutes or so!

This time I wanted to straighten her hair to see how long it really is. When she was taking a bath, her hair was floating in the water! And the water only sat right to her belly button when seated-so you can imagine how long it really was!

She was great while I straightened it-sat and played in my jewelry box the entire time, and I think it took almost as long to straighten her hair as it does to straighten mine! A whole 20 minutes or so! Glad all those who saw the photos before liked them-and I hope you all enjoy them here as well!

She was so ready NOT to take any photos!

I asked her to turn around so I could take a photo of the back of her hair, this is the pose I got instead! 

Heartbreaker??!

And this is her hair from the back! Look how long it is!

She looks so much older in these photos-I'm so happy she still has all her curls!

Chuck E' Cheeses!!!

The place where Lilah goes to OT I think is STRATEGICALLY placed right down the street from Chuck E' Cheese! Every week we drive to OT and Lilah ask if we are going there! Not today, no baby, not today- so this past week I caved!

Previously in the week we were able to play outside and this day was wet and icky, so we headed into Chuck E' Cheese for some fun, photos, and PIZZA!!!

Oh, and because I was running late, as usual, I forgot to grab my good camera and had to settle for my camera phone! Oh well, she's still so cute!

She got to take a picture with Chuck E'Cheese himself!

And she also got to talk to the big cheese himself also!

Is it really him mom? Barney?!!!

I think she was looking at some of the boys playing!

After about 10 seconds of driving Mario Cart she was done, but mom had to get our tokens worth!

So she sat and sat as mom poorly drove 3 more laps, but hey, we won!!!

Pizza break! As much as she loved pizza, she wanted to play the games more!

Future Equestrian? She rode this pony about 4 times!

Still needs A LOT of practice though!

We had such a great time at Chuck E'Cheese that day! Wore ourselves out climbing, playing, and spending tokens! Now I need to find an alternate route to her OT!!!

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!!!

Sesame Street Live

A few weekends ago Sesame Street Live came to Wichita and this was a new experience for Lilah! As soon as I heard they were coming we got tickets! I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked to but the show was awesome and Lilah loved it!

This was the beginning of the show

*She didn't get a nap in before the show, thus the VERY tired look!*

This was the next morning, she grabs my camera and says,

 "Mama, take a picture of me!!!"

"Ok, wait, lemme get Elmo!"

We had so much fun at the show! The Elmo 'thing' spins and lights up-I'm so glad I waited until the end of the show to buy this things! I would have been getting hit in the eye during the whole show if I would've bought it early!
