 Like father, like son :)
 James didn't like the cake at all!  He-he-he!

 Yippee, I'm one!!
 Yup, I'm digg'n it!
James just couldn't get enough cake!  Slurp, slurp!

Breakfast Time!

A Hill Visit

 Our little lad :)
 Lillian loves riding on Grandpa Stan's shoulders!  Gorilla prefers Grandpa's head :)
 James watching his sister.
 If you look hard enough, you just might find a Lillian and Grandpa Stan!
 Look out bellow!!
 Happy couple!
 "Higher, Higher!!!!"
 Riding the cow!
 At nearly one, James is able to slide down the slide by himself!  At two and a half, Lillian can climb most of the bars, which is quite an accomplishment!  Both seem to have no fear and that scares me so!
 Our little princess :)

Tool Table and Sweater!

 James got a tool table for Christmas and it's been a total hit with both the kids!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Hill!  
Lillian looks beautiful in her handmade sweater by Grandma Hopkins!

Christmas 2011 - James' First Christmas!

 Discovering treasures in her stocking!
 Sleepy boy... :)
 O.K., I'm awake!!!! 
 Light Sabers!!!
 This is exhausting work!! I gotta take a break and rehydrate!
 This one's mine!!
 Few!  James isn't kidding!  When's nap time?
 Lillian's dollhouse!
 So, this will be my bedroom...
 O.K., I got dibs on the loft!
 We got several hand-me-down presents this year from our good friend Erin Lopez!  Why buy new when you can get something lightly used for free!  It's good for the planet too!! Our modo this year, "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!" The kids just LOVE the kitchen, dollhouse, and refrigerator!!  Thank you, Miss Erin!!!!!
 Hmmmm... what should I make for breakfast...?
 We purchased a whole box of used Lincoln Logs for penny's on the dollar too!  Total score!!  James and Lillian are already beginning to construct their own little buildings!
 I got several wonderful gifts this year!  Thank you to everyone!! Here, I am showing off some beautiful earrings that my mother-in-law made for me :)  Ooo-La-La!
 Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Stan (I mean Santa!!) got Lillian a totally tubular Balance Bike for Christmas
 Oh, yes!  We got another slightly used present for the kids!  This easel is a chalk board on one side and a white erase board on the other.  Lillian and James spend hours creating!
O.K., James, you write with your left hand and I'll write with my right hand.  O.K.? :)

Monkeying Around!

 Bunny and Butterfly!
 I'm a Big Boy!!
 Ummmm, excuse me, but why is he sitting in my chair??
 He-he-he... 
Ride 'em Cowboy!!!
