Arrrrgh Matey!

One of our friends just sent me this picture of Lila and her friend Cohen playing. It was taken a little while ago, but I think it really shows her "personality" so I had to share. She had good timing sending it since I just heard how she was picking on one of the boys in her class yesterday, poking him while yelled at her to stop. Such a little bully :)

South Dakota in July

It's a couple of weeks late but I'm finally getting around to uploading the pictures from Lila and my trip to Spearfish. Lila had a great time visiting with all of the Wolffs up at Wickiup on Saturday (you guys will have to send me pictures for her book). Sunday was spent at the new water park in Spearfish and Monday was jam packed with playing in Spearfish Park and visiting the fish hatchery.

Happy 4th of July!

This weekend we took a trip to Yellowtail Reservoir for a little fishing and fun in the sun. Lila did amazing. She hung out and played on the boat most of the day watching Eric and me shoot carp... well, she watched Eric shoot carp and watched me shoot at them. We also hiked up to a waterfall some friends told us about and took a dip in the pool. On our way back to the dock so Lila could take a nap she fell asleep, so she took a nap in the bottom of the boat while continued to cruise the lake. By the end of the day, we were all exhausted and all but Lila were pink from the sun but we had a great time.

Playhouse

Lila had lots of company this weekend. Her Grandma and Papa Vaplon and Aunt Krista and her cousin Allie came up to visit. The big weekend project was a new playhouse for Lila that her Papa built under her swing set. She is completely in love with it and spends every outdoor moment opening and closing the door on us.

June

Even with all the rain we got, we managed to fit a lot in to the few sunny hours and enjoy the weekend. Saturday, Eric and Lila had DQ while I was at class (leave them alone for 5 minutes and he's letting her eat fast food), and then we went to a friends house for a fish fry. The second she got out of the car she noticed the chickens that they had and wouldn't leave them alone for the rest of the night. We were constantly pulling her out of the chicken coop or down from the stock fence. I think she has a little ranch girl in her.

Sun!

Since there is finally some sun today, we decided to take advantage and hit the archery course. Lila did great! She moved around a little which was fun for Eric trying to shoot, but she didn't complain at all. I think she was just happy to get out of the house.
In other news, I finally beat Eric on one target. Ok, it's one out of 18 but the point is that I beat him.

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.
