I DID IT!!!!!!!!


Happy New Years Eve!

Well not so happy for me. Lilah has her first cold and she kept me up a lot last night. I am very tired so I don't even know if I will be able to stay up til midnight. I also don't want to get a sitter because Lilah is waking up almost every hour:(
On a happier note Aaron is off for 4 days now! He's been talking about making Lilah a toy chest! I would like a small white chest that she can throw all her toys into and I told him this and now he can't stop thinking about it. For anyone who doesn't know 2 years ago he made me a sleigh bed! With the help of his dad. It is the most beautiful bed that will hopefully be passed down as a family heirloom. I'm sure it will last that long too because it is so sturdy!
Thats all I can think of to write for now.

Yesterday for lunch I had my friend Colleen and her daughter Farrah over. It was fun to catch up about our busy christmases and let our kids play. Farrah is 8 months and Lilah is 7. They are so cute together. Farrah mainly likes to roll around all over the floor and Lilah is very content just sitting there watching! My mom also had her sister Judy over and her granddaughter Sarah. Sarah was a little unsure of Lilah. We were trying to take pictures of the two of them and Lilah kept reaching for Sarah's doll Isabelle. Well she didn't like that very much and all of a sudden a few tears rolled down her cheeks, and she didn't make a peep:( It was very cute. I guess Lilah was being a little grabby so we need to teach her to not be so rough!
Tomorrow Lilah is 7 months! I can't believe how fast time has gone and how much she has grown. When we say "Lilah how big are you?" she raises her arms up! And if you sing she puts her hands together! Hopefully we will get a picture on here soon.

Ahhhh. A Big Sigh.

Wow, what a busy and crazy day! Yesterday I mean. Lilah got so spoiled and she doesn't even know it! My husband said to me this morning that she would only be spoiled if she always got what she asked for but she can't even talk yet so I guess that means she's not. We all had so much fun watching her. By the end she was really good at tearing off the wrapping paper (and putting it in her mouth when no one was watching:)) We had my husband's whole family over to our house, well my parents house cause they've got more room and there was about 17 of us. Everybody brought an appetizer or dessert so there was lots of food! By about 6pm I was ready for a nap!
I think one of the coolest gifts Lilah got was a metal pink roadster that she can sit on and push herself around. Her feet don't quite reach the floor yet but when they do I'm sure we won't be able to pry her off of it! She got the car from her grandpa Trickett and his girlfriend Jeanie. Jeanie said he was looking around for a Harley Davidson motorcycle but when he saw this car he had to get it for her:) It is so nice.
I'm sorry I can't post any pictures. I tried but it just doesn't work from our computer. I will have to bring my pic. disc over to my mom-in-laws and try it there. Have a great boxing day!

Last Minute Shopping Anyone?

No its not me that still needs to do some shopping, its my dear husband! He is so silly. I don't think he realized it was christmas eve so he was calling around to a few people to see if they would go shopping with him. He may have done this last year too, I can't quite remember. Well he did convince his mom surprisingly. But first he had to stop by his mom's and have a visit with his nana and aunt and uncle. He was reluctant but I know it will make his mom and nana very happy. Today is a quiet day. We are all going to the church service at 5pm. Than coming home for home-made pizza. yum yum! Have a wonderful Christmas:)

2 More Days!

I don't think I've been this excited about Christmas since I was a kid! It will be so much fun with Lilah. She is such a little monkey. I had to rearrange the presents under my moms tree because we were trying to find my sisters pajamas. I had wrapped them but didn't label "open on christmas eve". We are kinda starting a new tradition this year were we only open one gift on christmas eve and its pajamas. I know of lots of people that do this and it sounded really neat. And i needed new pjs anyways!
I really want to post some pics but I don't know if I can on this computer. I will try again but who knows.

I took the plunge!

Yes, finally after a year of reading blogs I have finally created my own. We only have internet dial-up so I wasn't sure how it would work. But it did!
Now a little about myself. My name is Stephanie and I am 24 years old. I've been married to my amazing husband Aaron for 41/2 years. We have a beautiful daughter Lilah who is almost 7 months old! She is sooo much fun! We live in my parent's bsmt. suite on a wonderful little farm. Well thats all for now. I need to test this and see if it posts.
