Lilah's 1 Year Photo Shoot!

Again Holly did such an amazing job! Lilah wasn't being the most cooperative child ever but she still got some awesome pictures. Its too bad she doesn't do this for a living. If you want to see more of Holly's work you can check out her blog at photographybyholly.blogspot.com

Happy Mother's Day To Me!!!

Its my first and its very exciting! It's been so long since I've blogged I know, very bad. What have I been up to? Well I am addicted to facebook! Its sort of lost its spark already though. I did find my old old old best friend who moved away almost 10 years ago though! I added her to my friends list but she hasn't confirmed back yet:( I don't know why, maybe she doesn't check her's very often. I was so excited when I found her and all her 5 siblings. So in that way facebook is really neat. What else? We celebrated Mom's 46th birthday on tuesday and my grandpa's 80th birthday yesterday. Sooo many May bdays. Lilah's party is on May 26th but her real bday is May 30th. I'm so excited for it! Lilah and I went to Aaron's sister Julie's for lunch and cake. Aaron has to work today so he missed out. Not much else to say. I can hear Lilah playing in her crib when she is supposed to be sleeping so I'd better go check on her.

Aaron's 25!

It was Aaron's 25th birthday yesterday. Even he can't believe he's already halfway to 50!
We went to El Nopels just across the Sumas border. It was really yummy. My whole family and Aaron's whole family was there. 18 in total. I think Aaron had a really good birthday this year. He definitely knows he is loved!

Hawaiian...?

No, just darn cute!!!

Mommy's Girl

I made the mistake of bringing Lilah to mom's group today. She was miserable:( I usually leave her at home with my mom so she won't miss her morning nap. She doesn't do well without it. I always thought I would have a child that would go to the nursery no problem, not cry for mommy, and be content and happy with perfect strangers. Not to be. She's definately becoming a mommy's girl. I need to leave her more often in the nursery. I haven't done it at church yet but I guess now's a good time. I know she would do much better after a nap and probably be perfectly fine, but we won't know unless we try!

I thought this picture was really nice of the 3 of them! Such proud grandparents!

Easter Pictures

Me, Lilah, Teresa (my cousin) and Emrickka (her daughter). This was taken at church in the Coffee Connections.

Easter Pictures

Me and Lilah on Easter Sunday at my Grandparents for lunch. This dress was a gift from Lovella and Terry! They got it in Hawaii so it is very special and very adorable!

Daddy and Daughter

What a day!

Well it was another beautiful day today! Mom, Julie, Lilah and I went to the junction to Urban Planet to do some shopping. They had lots of things for 50% off. I got a jean skirt for $5 and quite a few other things but not for as cheep. I love a good deal. Mom and Julie didn't have such good luck. Poor little Lilah has a nasty cold right now and a very bad flemy cough:( She's been waking up a lot throughout the night which is not fun for me.

On another note Aaron's car (the Honda Civic) is not doing so well. It has over heated every day since he insured it a week ago. I knew this would happen. Older cars almost always have engine problems and this one is no different. I think Aaron will have to get a second job just so he can keep his cars running! Just kidding!

We are going to Aaron's dad's for Easter dinner on Sunday! He just bought a house and we haven't been there yet. And than on Monday we have dinner with my mom's side of the family. It should be a busy weekend.

What a Beautiful Day!

Okay well this picture wasn't taken today but that's pretty much what it looked liked (minus the winter jackets!)

I met my girlfriends Candace and Colleen and their daughters Reese (6 months) and Farrah (11 months) at Tim Horton's today for lunch. Than we went for a walk around Albert Dick Lake. It was so nice and warm, definitely no jackets needed. It is so nice to have close friends with kids around the same age as Lilah. She is almost 10 months old now! Wow time flies. Tomorrow I am going to Surrey to visit with Melissa. Another play date for Lilah. I am also waiting to hear of 3 babies that are supposed to be born within the next couple of days, very exciting!

Time for an Update

So what have I been up too lately? Well I am painting mom's kitchen and hallway for her! She felt like she needed a bit of a change. She picked out a nice olivey green color. Lilah has been growing like a little weed. She is so much fun and makes us laugh all the time. Yesterday Aaron and I took her swimming for the first time! She was so cute. We went to the Mission Leisure Center which was really nice. The change rooms were clean! Unlike MRC, eww gross:( Anyways the kiddy pool was a little cool for her and she started shivering so we took her in the hottub which was about the same temp as her bathtub.

Aaron has had a cold for almost 2 weeks now and I am so ready for it to be gone. He coughs so much and it is driving me crazy! He only took 1 day off work but his schedule now is 2 days on 2 days off 2 days on 1 day off so if he takes an extra day off you can really notice it! I guess the furniture store has its slow time of year and instead of laying someone off they each work one less day. Hopefully it will pick up again soon.

I don't really know what else to say? I have been trying to keep busy because I hate this time of year. I'm glad its spring though. I feel like I need to get outside more, but I don't walk in the rain. Mom is a little bit more ambitious than me and still walks most of the days. A vacation, thats what I need! Maybe next year. I guess thats all I have to say for now.

Teething?

Lilah cut her first two teeth today! Very exciting! I had no idea she was even teething because she's been sleeping so good at night and having good naps as well. I'm definitely not complaining:) I thought it bothered them before the teeth poked through but maybe not Lilah. Anyways that is all I have to say for now.

I know its been quite a while since I've updated. We've been trying to stay busy. I really hate this time of year and envy anybody that gets to go on vacation. I miss the sunshine. The days seem like they just drag on. Yesterday we went to Mt. Baker and went skiing! We went with our friends Travis and Colleen and Colleen's dad Carl. It was really fun except for the weather:( It was raining and at the top of the mountain it was snowing and very windy. It made it really hard to see anything! By lunchtime we were all soaked and didn't go back out, except for Travis and Carl. They braved it again. Its too bad but oh well.

Tonight we went to Aaron's mom's for our Sunday dinner! Everybody was there this week, Aaron, Lilah, and I, Katie and Ian, Julie and Greg, Holly and Mom! She made a yummy roast with all the fixins, and a homemade apple pie for dessert.
