Random February

Lilah having a little breakfast with her monkey and baby doll. She put her monkey in the chair then asked me to put the baby in her highchair. Then she asked me to put a bib on her baby as well. For about 30 minutes she ate her breakfast & fed it to her 2 friends as well. I’m loving this pretending stage! So cute!

Lately Lilah loves going to the bathroom by herself in her own miniature potty instead of the seat we place over the regular toilet. She’s getting pretty good at taking her own pants off, but has a harder time putting them back on. So this is what I get a lot… a baby running around pants-less.

Wow, thanks again mom & dad McConnon for the anniversary gift! Even though it was kinda funny making jokes about it, we really appreciated it!

One of Lilah’s favorite past times: riding in Costco carts with over-sized animals.

Lilah loves to pretend she has “owie’s.” She’ll get out an ice pack and hold it on there while she fake wines…. super funny. Her favorites are on her head, & knee.

Here’s Lilah doing some “dedidize” (exercise).

Lilah all ready for church:

Ward Talent Show

I found out about the talent show this year and decided that I wanted to perform. Most my talents aren’t easily or often shared, so I jumped at the chance. I decided to do some cheerleading stunts with an old BYU squad friend.  I partially wanted to do it to prove to myself that I could still do hard things & things that I enjoy when I am in pain. Being in pain makes everything seem more difficult, but sometimes I just decide to push myself and do something I really enjoy even if it is going to hurt. The doctor has told me he doesn’t think I could cause more damage, so all I have to deal with, is the pain. And sometimes being able to do something that makes you feel normal is worth it.

I had a great time, and I know my ward enjoyed it as well. Thanks again KC & Grant!

Hybid Withdrawls

Since visiting Hybid Farm back in November and getting to ride the horses, Lilah is going through some serious withdrawals. Sometime I even find her sitting on her little thumb-sized animals saying “weee…” Then she tells me she’s getting a ride “yide.” Here’s a few photos we happen to capture:

And my personal favorite:

ABC’s

I still can’t believe my little girl is old enough to know how to join in on a song. She’s growing up so fast! I love this age!

Valentines Celebration

Our anniversary happens to fall on the day before Valentines day, so we usually have quite an exciting week full of celebration! On Valentines day we decided to celebrate as a family. We decorated the kitchen and our dinner menu included: baked asparagus, dill carrots, quinoa with saffron and onions, sparkling apple cider, and strawberry cashew ice cream!

Everything turned out great and we all enjoyed it. I think Lilah could tell that it was a special night and she was super sweet the whole time. She was totally spoiled with her sparkling cider and cashew ice cream!

Our Club

We went up to Grandpa Haworth’s farm this weekend and came across this little gem. I think I was probably the one to write it. My spelling struggled….

Love it!

Garage Soccer

Wow I did not think this would work, but from the sound of it, I think the boys had a great time. They were originally supposed to play at a different location that fell through, so Tom suggested they play in our garage! Pretty funny! My favorite part of the evening was when Lilah was sitting at the table and pointing to the garage she yelled, “BOYS!” I hope that is not a sign of what’s to come….
