Halloween!



For Halloween weekend we went to Colorado for a wedding of one of Darren's cousins. The wedding was a costume party, so it gave us an excuse to dress up! I went as Little Bo Peep and Lila was my little sheep (the cutest sheep ever, I might add!). Before the wedding we went over to one of Darren's aunt and uncle's farm. Lila LOVED seeing all the animals. I wish we would've taken more pictures there, but we only took a couple. Some of the other pictures include Darren's brother Kyle and his fiancee Whitney, who were dressed as a sailor and a nurse (inspired by the famous kiss picture). Darren's niece Emalia was Pocahontas, Darren's mom went as Cruella de Vil, and we teased Darren's grandpa that he went as James Bond since he was wearing a suit. Darren and his dad didn't make their way into very many pictures because they were the ones behind the camera, but Darren also wore a suit so we said he was a CIA agent and his dad dressed as Indiana Jones. We had a good time and we were glad for the chance to finally introduce Lila to Darren's extended family.

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
