4-Wheeling

One of Lila's favorite things to do after dinner is go for a 4-wheeler ride around the block with her dad. She's got a bossy streak in her (no comments, Mom) and insists on telling him which way she wants to go. At every intersection she points and says "That way."

She loves pushing the throttle...or any other button or control she can reach.

Easter 2011

The weather was perfect this Easter and Lila had a great time playing in the yard and hunting Easter eggs. We put an M&M in each egg and once she figured that out, she was running around the yard like crazy trying to find more eggs. After she'd found them all, she even sat down and started shaking them all again to make sure she didn't miss any M&Ms.

HOPPY EASTER!

The Birthday Week Continues

The Morrison's came to visit the weekend to help Lila blow out more candles. Lila loved seeing her aunt and uncle and had a great time playing with her cousin Jack. She wasn't, however, so sure about the candle on her cupcake. At first she just nervously looked at it saying "hot, hot," but she quickly moved on to screaming for her life. Oh well, maybe she'll be up to blowing out candles next year. :)

Lila's Birthday Week

Lila has already figured out how to spread her birthday out for a whole week. Last week, she received a package from her great aunt Diane who had found these great needlework fabric books while visiting Laos. Then, on her actual birthday, Friday, they had cupcakes and sang for her at daycare. She came home singing "Happy YOU, Happy YOU" over and over. Lila finished off her day with a visit from some friends bearing more birthday gifts.

Saturday we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and take the kids out for a hike.

The park we went to is near the airport so we had to stop often for Lila to point out planes.



Sunday, she had a play date with a friend so she could pickup even more birthday goodies and next week, the birthday celebration continues with a visit from her grandma and grandpa Wolff. More pictures to follow, I'm sure.

Sledding

This Saturday we finally had enough snow and a warm enough day to go sledding. Lila had a great time and was exhausted by the time we were done.

After a mini snowball fight, Lila had to go around

collecting all the snowballs that were still on the ground.

Lila even shared a sled with one of the little girls we went with.

Bath Time Bubbles

Lila, also, got bubble bath for Christmas and now we can't get her out of the tub at bath time. I eventually have to open the drain when she's not looking and feign surprise and disappointment as the bubbles disappear down the drain.
