27 Candles

Turning 27 wasn't too big of a deal overall it was a very relaxing birthday, spent time with family, friends and even had a couple hours to myself :) Mike and I went to our new favorite restaurant BJ's Brew-house and I even got some free dessert!

Dessert tastes better when it is free! 


My friend Stephy


Went out for drinks with the girls I worked with at Kohls

Jana and I

Blowing out the candles on my cake...Lily wanted to go to bed and Leo just wanted the cake! lol



Being funny and hiding in my birthday luggage for NYC

15 months

Lily had her 15 month appointment last week she wasn't too happy about the shots but she enjoyed the paper on the exam table as usual.

I had packed her bottle for after the appointment but
 she found it while we were in the waiting room, sneaky girl!

"No I don't want any shots!"

15 Month Stats
Height:30 inches
Weight: 22 lbs



Crunchy Tissue Paper!

 Another new thing in the life of Lily is that we have started putting her hair in ponytails, I know it's front page news :)

Helping Mama

Big Brother duties sometimes involve hair styling

Sporting her new do'


 She also has become very very very mobile and fast! She loves to get into the diaper bag and it seems like she is always chasing one of our cats. Her favorite game is peek-a-boo, she could do it for hours! We have also started to hide to animals water bowl, she likes to splash it all over in the kitchen.

acting innocent after emptying the bag.

Jenkins didn't even know she was after him, he was too involved in  smelling the shoe.

Peek-a-boo!


Fresh from her nap, hair was a mess!!

She isn't walking yet but she loves to walk-along and pull up on things all the time. 

She also has been following right after her brothers footsteps by getting into things and making messes! They have really become a team now that she is mobile!

Fall Fun

One afternoon at Grandma's...

Smiling at Grandpa

Taking a rest looking at the "ky"

"Oh Mama you are so funny"


He was having a blast!




"No more pictures Mom..."

Blondie always has to give Lily kisses

I actually was able to snap a decent one  since he sat still for a  second :) 



"Can we go back and play in the leaves now?"

Mr. Polite

Leo has always been very good with his manners but lately he has been right on the ball with his "please and thank you"..or more often then not "no thank you"

"Leo would you like _____ to drink or eat" in which he always responds "Oh yes please!" Yesterday Mike (jokingly) says "Leo do you want to go to Olive Garden?" Leo started jumping up and down "Yes Please! Yes Please Daddy!" too funny!

Potting training and naps/bedtime are filled with alot of "no thanks yous" but that is expected.

My favorite thing Leo is doing right now (just because he sounds so cute) but whenever he burps, even if you don't hear it, he always looks over at you smiles and says "scuse me hahahaha" it seriously is the cutest thing.

He always says thank you when you hand him items which I find especially cute.

Waiting for Popcorn, yum!

Overall Leo has just been so adorable lately with all the things that have been coming out of his mouth! Some are maybe TMI but they are too funny not to share, for example, Leo was going to bed last night and he was a little lets say...gassy and out of no where he just starts laughing hysterically saying "gas is coming out of my bottom!" I giggled all the way out into the living room.

Out of the blue he will tell me he's "gotta go" and runs to get the keys and heads out the door which is very quickly followed by him coming right back in sayings "it's cold out there!" We did buy him a Thomas hat that he loves!

"I can't get my Cheetos Mama"




He loves to "cook an egg" every morning, if he actually eats it well that is rare.

"I need two!"


"I do it"

Leo always so softly "sshhhs" Lily when she is upset and he has started to rub her back while he does it.

When I get in the shower every morning within seconds he still pulls the curtain back "are you done in there!?"

This is how he decided to take his nap one day

"What Powder?"

When Mike gets home from work it is usually followed by Leo asking "What are we doing tonight Daddy?"

For several months now (and it has really stuck) when he doesn't want to do something anymore he has to tell us "I don't want to go to bed "anymo" "I don't want diaper anymo" etc...and  he uses his "anymo" with everything. "I don't want daddy's game anymo" which means Mike's TV show haha!

He likes to play this sleep/wake up game where he covers himself up in blankets and "snores" followed by him immediately popping up "I'm awake!"

Thomas, Percy and James trains are played with on a daily basis

Trains, Trains, Trains

He caught me taking his picture!

Dinosaur Hunting!

Coloring at Grandmas with "benden" 

Mad that the make up wouldn't wash off easily


He loves messing with my makeup and somehow always gets mascara all over himself but at the same time hands it to me asking me "on your face?"

He has for awhile now but it still amazes me that he can dress and undress himself completely on his own and put on his shoes and socks alone also! (His shoes are all still velcro)

Shrek is still playing on a daily basis...it looks like his birthday party with be Shrek or Toy Story, we will see come March!

Wanted to take a picture for Mama...

Didn't want to take a picture for Mama...
He is growing so fast!!
