Lily's Birthday Bonanza

Jordan chilling with the Goose

Spunky little Chloe

This was the best picture I could get of all the kiddos playing. Notice Lily is the oly one NOT wet. She wanted to play with her little friends but was terrified of the kiddie pool.

Chloe was one of the few to brave the spraying beach ball.

Lily's solution to her fear of the pool was for me to hold her and play in the water safely from my arms. 

We had great friends drive all the way down from Bountiful to come to Lily's big day- the Stewarts along with the Youngbergs.

And Lily's second family (Justin and AJ's family) came from West Valley. I can't decide if Ben is Lily's favorite person or favorite toy...

Lily's 2 year Stats:
Height: 69th percentile
Weight: 55th percentile

Happy Birthday to my silly Lily-kins! Life has been so much fuller since she came into our lives- Seeing her turn two is bitter-sweet as I miss her as a little baby yet she is such a fun and happy 2 year old!

Cupcake Fun

We were able to convince the kiddies to take a break from the water toys by saying just one word, "chocolate". They came running from all directions.

Who gets the wish, Jordan or Lily?

Best Friend in Training

Lily has taken it upon herself to instruct Lucy in the "Bestest Friend Ever Course". This course includes training in, "Wheels on the Bus",  dancing, and of course Tea Parties of the herbal nature.

That's some strong (herbal) tea sister!

Jamming out to Lily's favorite juke box, her DI laptop.

Newborn pictures

Personal favorite

My dad surprised me with this one!

My feeble attempt at newborn pictures - Lily was once again my little "helper" and helped make Lucy very angry and wanted to be right next to her little sister. 

Jordan's first day of school

Top 10 MBA program - here comes a HUNK! 

We all dropped Jordan off for his first day at school. As we pulled up we saw a nicely dressed young man getting out of his nice truck cool, calm and collected. It was a sharp contrast to Jordan getting out of our grandma car with "Old MacDonald" blaring, Lucy screaming  and 3 out of the 4 of us still in pajamas. I hope he doesn't get teased.....

At least he looks sharp.

Lily wouldn't be smiling if she knew she wasn't going to see her Daddy again until Thanksgiving break...
