LPA Regional: Day 2

For day 2, there was an activity room provided for the little-little's for the parent's to attend the various meetings planned for the day. There were a lot of little-little girls! The boys took over in the teenage department!

Taking some time to enjoy the weather before the DANCE!!!!

And, the most popular girl was...Lilah! Ok, so I'm biased, but she was a hit! I am SO thankful that the Sunflower chapter was able to host this regional, we both had an absolute blast!!!

LPA Regional: Night 1

This year, the Sunflower Chapter was excited to host an LPA Regional meet for District 7! Our area has not hosted one in Wichita for almost 7 years! The hotel we were at worked very well with the needs of those who were attending the conference. We had a blast both days of the conference and I know I am looking forward to many more LPA Regional, District, and National events. Lilah is at the prime age where she is able to gain information from other LP's at the conferences.

I have been waiting to take her to larger Regional and National events because I believe they would have benefited me more than her because of her understanding of knowledge. I have relied heavily on our POLP groups and social networks to handle situations on my end as a parent, but now that she is older, I believe she will want to know their are others who are just like her in stature. She will be able to talk with other LP's, relate to stories and various issues that I will not be able to relate to.

This conference really opened up my little girl socially! She is growing up so fast!!!

Petey, reading a personal story to the girls.

There was a quartet competition in the hotel the same weekend we were there. This group GRACIOUSLY sang for us not once, but twice during the weekend! They were excellent and it was fun for both the adults and children!

My runner!

Taking some time to walk the River and take pics

Katie showing the other girls how to do cart wheels. Looks painful, but she managed to do this for hours! Lilah is practicing to be just like Katie- ahhhh!!! *Can we say mom's pulling her hair out at the sight of this?!*

This is an AWESOME chair that was made available for the silent auction, which I bid upon and won! This is a pretty awesome chair that holds up to 160 lbs., which means Lilah will have it for a very long while!

Girl power! They had so much fun together! 

Sesame Street Year 2!

Another year of Sesame Street fun! This year, I decided to take my 2 nieces plus Lilah because I thought they would LOVE to go since Lilah enjoyed it so much last year. On our way there, one of my nieces had a different point of view and decided she did NOT want anything to do with big characters in costumes! Her brother took her place instead, which was still fun!

We started the adventure with a trip to eat, then off to the show!

"Auntie, are those real people inside of costumes?!"

Hopefully at 5 years old next year she will still want to go to this type of show!

More Cali Photos

Well, I was going through my phone the other day and realized I have MORE pictures from the Cali trip! On the rare occasions when I did not have my camera with me, I had my phone!!! Enjoy!

We had just arrived and were waiting on our rental vehicle- doesn't she look like she belongs in Cali with the bug eye glasses and sandy bleach blonde hair?!

Doesn't want to sit still long enough for a picture with mom!

Being silly at the zoo eating green Jell-O!

At the zoo with mom

On the cold and foggy Cali beach!

Oh catching this Sunset was the best thing ever! Wish I would've had my camera with me!

It was about 4 a.m. when this photo was taken, as you can tell by my nieces hair! Aunty loves you Syd!!!

Kitchen Helper

Lilah LOVES to help out, especially when she is with grandma! This day she got to help grandma make Lemon Cup Cakes-which were sooo delicious I might add!!! *Due to grandma NOT wanting to be pictured, the angles are limited!!!*

her sneaky grin!

doing a silly face for mommy!!!

Always a help in the kitchen... so she thinks!!!

A day at the Park

It was the most beautiful day of the year thus far and we HAD to head to the park! There is a new park, well it was new to us because I noticed it a few weeks earlier while driving. It was the best park ever because it was large and had plenty for her to enjoy and access!!! I didn't have my camera BUT my phone was still charged from the day!

*This was her extent of playing in the sand. There was a HUGE sand box, but I think they are just a HUGE version of stray cats litter boxes and refuse to let her play in public sand boxes* Sorry folks, not happening! Oh and don't get me started on getting sand in her hair!!!

And some scooter riding at Grandma's! We usually ride with the helmet, but this was an unexpected trip to the house with the scooter. She loves that thing and even enjoys riding it in Grandpa's basement! Lucky girl!

We hope everyone is able to enjoy the Spring weather that is on the way!!!

Cali Day 3

Our last full day in Cali we were off to the beach! This would be the first time my niece and her dad had EVER been to a beach, so they were both REALLY excited!

But when we got there, the temperature decreased by at least 20 degrees!!! It was mighty cold and we were only about to see about a quarter of a mile in any direction! The fog was awesome but did not make for the best beach weather!

As you can see, Lilah still has on her jackets AND leggings! Needless to say, we didn't stay at the beach long because the wind also started to pick up! But the kids were able to swim at hotel pool where the temperature was 20 degrees warmer and no wind!!!

We were sad to say goodbye to Cali, but we all had a BLAST!!! If tickets remain as cheap as they were I'm sure we will be making another trip in the very near future!!!
