Lila's First Fish

Lila got her first fish yesterday... which we promptly killed. We figure there was something wrong with the water so we're letting the filter run for a while and then we'll try putting some more fish in the tank. Lila was excited while it lasted and wasn't too sad about loosing her fish after I told her we'd get her new ones.  Try, try again...



River Fishing

Lila and I got to try out the new boat with Eric this weekend. She had a great time playing with the worms and handing Eric minnows when he needed them. The fishing was a little lacking but it was a beautiful day and Lila didn't even mind when she fell in the river a couple times.



Summer

Lila has been having lots of fun at the new water park down the street from us.  She still isn't swimming but she sits on the tube and floats around the river and plays in the wave pool.

She still loves to walk around in my heels and is getting better at it even though I'm sure we'll have a few good wipe outs before too long. 

Easter 2012

We packed a lot in to Easter weekend this year. Erin and Thad came up on Friday, Saturday we spent a few freezing minutes at the dog park before we gave up and headed to the mall so Lila could practice her hide and seek skills in the clothes racks and Sunday we went out to the river with some friends and had a picnic and Easter egg hunt.

I think Lila spent over an hour just throwing rocks into the river -

She loved watching Janet fish and even got to reel a few in -

Lila's first fish! Eric was letting her real in the line when it hit - she was pretty excited.

Three Years Old!

Lila celebrated her birthday in the Black Hills this year, and had a great time spending time with all her family. Thanks to everyone who spoiled her to death - even her daycare said she came back a little more "demanding" than usual.

and loved her carrot cake -

She even blew out the candles her self, unlike last time when she just panicked about the fire being hot -

Lila's unicorn

I forgot a picture on the last post. I drew Lila a unicorn on the concrete and the second I turned around she was riding it. She did, at least, accept my logic that it would be good if she got off long enough for me to draw the bridle and saddle on it. We named her Tinkerbell.

Another sunny weekend here in Billings. We went to the dog park and walked with Lila around the block while she rode her trike (actually I attached Jake's leash to the handle bars and pulled her around the block, but whatever). We also went for a 4wheeler ride and I was pretty exited to see that Lila would actually wear both her sunglasses and helmet through the entire trip.
