weekend fun

Last weekend we drove up to Tacoma, WA to visit our best friends the Hughes'. We all had a lot of fun. It was a nice relaxing time and the kids got to play. Here are some random pictures!

uh oh...

Here is my little OCD baby. And I mean that in the most lovable way...

She spent about 25 minutes, no joke, on peeling her crayons.

Here is her pile of "bare" crayons

and here is her pile of the paper!

I thought it was comical.

Happy Friday!

pink, pink and more pink!

I made this tu-tu from a tutorial that I found. It was super easy to make and I love it on Lila!
This picture was taken on our walk around our neighborhood. She wanted to take her baby along. I think she will make a great big sister someday :)

ponytail

I wanted to share this picture with you. This is her very first actual ponytail! I think she looks like a little girl and not a baby here...sniff sniff. But I do have a very beautiful little girl!!

Look what I made!

I covered these plain plastic travel wipe containers with funky fabric and trimmed them with a color coordinated braided edging. I am going to sew and make lots more mommy/baby accessories with high hopes of selling them.
Honestly, what do you think?

birthday fun

Saturday we were invited to go to 2 birthday parties. It was a lot of fun but first thing in the morning we went to Bailey's 2nd birthday at 10am. We celebrated, ate an early lunch and sang happy birthday. I purposely snuck out right before cake was served...
Then at 1pm we celebrated Austin's 4th birthday in SW Portland. We sang, ate some more lunch and decided to eat desert. It was a lot of fun!

"ooohhh PRESENTS!"

Look at all the kids sitting at the table, by themselves. CUTE!

Eating her cake french fries

Happy Birthday Friends!

spoiled

This was today at Toys R Us. We decided to take her and let her run around and have fun.

She test drove a pink car...
Took toys off of the shelves and tested them out...

And played trains with her dad.

All in all it was a fun time!

This is the toy we ended up buying her.

I hope you enjoy the video. This is her first shot!

P.S.

I just looked and my counter has hit the 1000 mark!

Thanks to EVERYONE who has been keeping up with our family :)

a little about me...

I know this has nothing to do with Lila but I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to lose weight. I joined an online support group called wellsphere and it said that one of the best ways to lose weight is to include your family and friends. SO here I am blogging about my weight loss goals.
I hope you don't mind me posting this on here. I promise it wont interfere with my blogging about the cute one. Promise.
My goal is to lose 15-20 lbs. My current weight is *GULP* 145! I would love to lose most of it by the summer because if everything is good in mcaulay land then we will probably try and add another cutie to the bunch :) Yes, we are thinking about trying to have another baby in the next 4-5 months. Thinking is the key word here though people...
I would love to look halfway decent in shorts and a swimsuit this summer too. So either way I want it to happen.
If you want to support me and cheer me on feel free to email me at:

THANKS!

memories

This was when Lila was only 3 months old. Already loving on her two fingers!

Ok, wow. I was just huge. This was the day before I had her!

I was backing up all of my old pictures on my pc and I came across all of her old baby pictures. How cute is this one!!

ouch! my eeeeyyyeesss...

I decided to take Lila out in the car yesterday for a quick errand. It was a beautiful sunny day and I thought she could use the fresh air. (We have been cooped up in the house since Sunday night)
I had a surprise I needed to drop off at my sisters house for her Anniversary.

**ahem**

"Happy Anniversary Tracy and Kevin"

anywho...


I need to go buy those shades that pull down on the window to protect your child's eyes from the sun. I think about this whenever she is screaming at me trying to shield herself from the bright sun. But low and behold I never do. Oops.

So yesterday the sun was in her eyes.
Being the genius that she is - She pulled her hood down!

Good job baby girl :)

sick...AGAIN!

Last night Lila was burning up with a temp of 102. She was absolutely miserable. I gave her some tylenol and she went to bed. Suprisingly she slept all night but woke up this morning even more miserable and with a high temp still. I called the dr first thing and got her in at 9am. They had to swab her nose, to take a mucus culture, with a small thin cotton swab like thing. They shoved it so high up her nose. I was honestly about ready to punch the nurse in the face. Lila was crying so hard. It was worse then seeing them give her shots! But it turns out that she has influenza type B. Its in virus form so there is no antibiotics that can help. I feel so bad...she cries a lot and is just so unhappy. Its not like her to be unhappy and not laughing...

this is her while we were waiting in the room at the dr's. she was so drowsy and fell asleep right in my arms. she hasn't done that is over 6 months!

this was her lying on the couch watching tv. such a cute bug :)

send some chicken soup and loves to her!!
