Lily's Birthday Celebration

We invited our families to our house on Sunday, November 14th for Lily's 3rd birthday. We were excited to have them out to our new home. We have so much more room and it was a beautiful day. Matt had been hunting that weekend with Chris, Brett, Carson, Mav, and Guire, and they did not get a deer. Aww man! Then Sunday afternoon we were ready to party! I had made lasagna for lunch and Lily helped me prepare for our guests.

We opened gifts first!

Lily's very own Christmas tree from Gma & Gpa W. She loves it!

Lily had been asking for a TinkerBell bookbag for a long time!!! I was so excited when I found one. She couldn't wait to put it on!

What a big girl! Good thing a bookbag doesn't mean I have to send her to school. I am not ready for her to be that old!

Another request, TinkerBell movie. Thanks Aunt Gigi!

Thanks Gma & Gpa E.

ABC game from G &G Widdowson


We are very fortunate to have such a giving family. Lily did not need many gifts, but she was very thankful!

Lily sang the birthday song with us! ha ha. She has a Strawberry Shortcake cake.

Great job!!!!

He wonderful cousins that came to celebrate. Cute pic!

Relaxing after lunch!

The kids went out to play. Lily loves her some Maverick! :) He is so good with her.

I have so many pictures of just the two of them. I am glad they can be so close!

Lily and I got Matt a chiminea for his birthday. He tried it out for the first time on the deck today. It was neat. I can't wait to use it more often.

Posing!! Lily loves to try and keep up with Guire! He has so much energy.

Aunt Emily teaching Lily how to draw on her new marker board.

HA HA HA I like her expression!

We had a wonderful day with our family. Lily had lots of fun! Once everyone left, she was tired and we instantly played with new toys and put on her new jammies. I took out her braids and Woah!

My beautiful 3 year old!



November 16th!!!!!!!!!

Lily opened one present on Monday morning before she went to Heather's. We got her a little video game type thingy that has stories a stylus to write and she can draw and play games. Lily took cookies and pens to her friends at daycare.

So happy to be THREE!!

Mommy and Daddy couldn't wait to get off work to play with Lily. I picked her up and took her to the park and Matt met us there. She was so happy. Lily was giggling the whole time, running from slide to slide, asking us to go with her, laughing! It was such a joy to see our little girl full of delight. I am glad we could make her day special.


We then ate at Applebee's for dinner. We had them sing to her, but she didn't like that. She crawled onto my lap and hid her face in my shoulder. She gets so shy lately. But, she liked the dessert! :)

Probably one of her favorite gifts: chapstick!!

Jadyn got Lily a Barbie. Thanks Jadyn. The Barbie count is now at 2. She is now requesting more Barbie's. Oh boy, I wonder how many we will have next year? :)


It is hard to believe my baby is 3! This has been the best 3 years. Matt and I are so blessed to have a wonderful and healthy little girl.

We love you Lily Jo!

Maverick's Baptism

This was a special and memorable day for Maverick. Congratulations Mav!

After church we went to visit Mully. The kids played catch with the football and had races. Mullen would have been so proud of Maverick today.

Here is trouble!
