Lily was a ladybug this Halloween.  A great find at the Target after holiday sale last year (still pregnant), I think I paid a whole $3!!!  This is my 10 minute home made spider web costume.  You like?

Halloween morning we went to my mom's elementary school so that Lily could parade with all the kids.  I think Grandma had just as much fun as Lily!

We bought Guitar Hero World Tour for our Wii, so that's what we've been doing in our spare time.  Lily thinks it really fun!

I just had to post a picture of this adorable pea coat I found for Lily.  I love it!

a 'little' perspective

I know, I know, it's been a while. Lame excuse? Camera is out of batteries. I told you, lame excuse. Last weekend we ventured on down to warm and relaxing St. George with Buz's family, (we missed you Hailey!). Can't say we did much, but Buz rode in a 100 mile bike tour. He hasn't quite reached crazy since he didn't go all 100 miles, but he's definately riding his way there! He rode with his dad and our sister-in-law's dad and little brother. Lee, Craig, Teal, Buz (notice the first three are wearing their matching jerseys. Way to be a rebel honey!) We did, however, make it to the playground. Can you resist that sweet face? I mean really. Thanks to Steve for bringing his amazing Nikon Digital SLR so that we could catch some great pics!

here we are.

Lily has become quite the little cuddle bug these days!

Tasting the petunias...they don't taste too good.

Real piggies!

**Please note, when I set her down, the basket had all the toys in it and was upright in the corner.  The mini boppy was propped against the wall and the basket!  How does she do it?!?!

Miss Piggy

Can you believe it?  She looks like such a big girl to me with one little piggy tail!  Sadly enough, I haven't been able to manage to get one in since this day, Lily is quite the wiggle worm!  I'll keep working on it though, it can only get longer!

We Want YOU!!!!

The past week and a half, and for the next few weeks, we've been going through recruitment.  What is that exactly?  It is essentially being the worst parents in the world.  Buz is applying for jobs right now, and there is an endless slew of open houses, game nights, dinners... most of which are not for children, just applicants and their spouses.  Thanks to our moms for watching Lily so much and giving her the attention she needs when we can't!

 Hopefully it will all pay off soon.  We'll be done with all the events by the end of September, an should know where Buz will be working by November!  It will be a relief to know he has a job to look forward to after graduation.

Speaking of recruitment, Lily has officially joined the Army!!! Not really, but she's started army crawling!  She's even daring to get up on her knees for a few seconds.  Don't have any pics yet, and I don't have a cord to connect our video camera to the computer.  I'll work on that!

Shhhh

It's a miracle!!!  It's 11:30 am and Lily is actually taking a nap.  I risked just about everything to take this picture, but I had to document.  For those of you who don't know, this little one has decided sleeping is a thing for lazy people.  Day or night, she's up for playing.  This may be part of the reason she's not growing!!!  Not really, but today I decided to just see what would happen.  So I tried again.  She fussed for maybe five minutes, then nothing.  I went to check on her since she is known to quiet down and just play, but I beheld this blessed sight!!
