Chocolate Face & Purse Bandit!

While at REI the other day, Lillian picked a Luna Bar treat off the shelf.  When I opened it and saw that it was dipped in chocolate, I thought to myself, "Oh boy, this is gunna be messy..."  

When we got home, Lillian grabbed my wallet out of my purse and proceeded to grab a dollar out of the sleeve... preview of the future? :)

She then grabbed my REI membership card... Oooooch, this could be expensive... :) 

Wearing Mommy's Scarf!

While I was getting dressed for the day this morning, Lillian pulled one of my scarves down from it's hanger and began played with it adoringly.  I put it on her and she just loved it!

"Aren't I Beeaaauuutiiiiiful?"

Hang'n At The Park!

Riding broncos!

Hitting bells!

Happy Father's Day!

"On Father's Day, we let Daddy sleep in while we cooked a big breakfast and brought it to him.  He was a happy guy!"

"I helped him open his presents too! Wrapping paper is so much fun!!"

"Mommy held me upside down cuz I was being a goofball!"

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

Last Saturday, we went to a AA Stockton Ports Vs. the Visalia Rawhides game!

At first, the Ports were winning 2 to 0!  In fact, the first Ports guy up to bat hit a home run! This was going to be a fun game!! 

Then the Rawhides pulled out a few tricks and were up by nine in the fourth inning...

"My team got their butts kicked, but we sure had a good time!"

Caught Red Handed!

While my back was turned, Lillian found my purse, pulled out my wallet and successfully rearranged everything onto the floor!   

Carson Valley Days!

"Hey, I want those!"  Unfortunately, for those who wear them while holding her, Lillian is obsessed with possessing every pair of glasses within reach!

Carson Valley Days Parade!

With Auntie Nina! Yay!!!

Fast Asleep!

Early Riser

Lillian goes to bed around 8:30 p.m. and wakes up at 5:30 a.m. on the dot every morning.  She's like clockwork!

This morning, she took her monkey for a ride!

"Whatcha doin', Mom?"

"Wanna play?"

Off To The Races!

Mommy got a bike trailer for Mother's Day!!  It's super fun!

Spaghetti Face!

Apricot Fiesta!!

Hello from the Shriners!

The Balloon Platoon!

Daddy & daughter!

Zoro!

Walking with mom!

Berry Face!

Today, Lillian and I bought some blueberries and blackberries to try!  Lillian ate them with enthusiasm, which is proven with a very berry mask!

Which grew and grew!

The berries began to disappear...

Where'd they go? (our tummy's my dear!)

Lillian discovered berry hair gel too!

Parks, Trees And A Shaved Malamute

We started the afternoon out with a stop at the City Park where we caught some air...

Played in the grass...

Looked too cute for words...

Met a tree...

A very tall tree...

"I like trees!"

"Hey, that's a camera! Can I have it?  I wanna put it in my mouth!"

Later on, we stopped at our neighborhood park to play some more!  If you haven't noticed, Keith shaved Mr. Finn yesterday!  He's MUCH cooler in this CA heat.

"I've lost my manhood... sniff... now everyone will know that underneath all that burly fur, I'm really a skinny dog with a rat tail... I'm so humiliated..."

Little Miss Driver!

After a lot of begging, I gave in and gave my daughter her first driving lesson...

"Hey, you didn't say anything about leaving it in park!"

When we got home, she was determined to get some more practice in and began 'driving' her lawnmower for the first time!
