Lilly Loo is turning two!

Today is Lilly's second birthday! I woke up this morning to Ian singing Happy Birthday to Lilly at 4:00 AM. We are both off tomorrow, so we are going to take Lilly to the puppy park and also to Petsmart to pick out a few presents. Lilly has honestly been a huge part of our lives for the past two years. She has brought more joy and laughter than anyone can imagine. She has the sweetest disposition and the funniest personality. She is so good with kids and babies and also very obedient. We are lucky to have such a good dog.

People always ask us why we celebrate her birthday when she doesn't understand what's going on? My answer is as follows. Why do we all wrap up presents and put them under the tree on Christmas morning for a 3 month old baby? The answer,because we enjoy doing it. It is not so much that the baby understands what is going on or even cares, but the adults have fun doing it. And we have fun celebrating Lilly's birthday, even if she doesn't know why she gets to have such a fun day. Happy Birthday Lilly May!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my Mom's birthday. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday by going out to dinner at Johnny Carrinos. I am very lucky to have such an awesome Mom who will do anything to help us out. We love you Mom! Have fun in New Orleans!

Camping trip number 2.........

Ian and I went camping this weekend up in the Uinta's. We got up there Friday evening and stayed until Sunday afternoon. It was really relaxing and fun. We spent most of our time just hanging out and reading or going for walks. On Sunday morning we went out on the four wheeler and decided to take Lilly with us for the first time. We put her in my hoodie and let her pop her head out of the neck. Since Ian was driving and I was on the back she was in between us. She just sat and behaved really well the entire time. Now that we know how well she did on it we can take her on all of our rides. We are hoping the weather holds out for a few more weeks so we can fit in another trip.

The return of the long lost husband.........

Ian comes home tonight from Mexico, at 11:30 PM. For anyone that knows me that is seriously about 2 hours past my bedtime. Would it be indecent of me to ask him to take the bus? I am just joking, don't sign me up for the worst wife of the year award quite yet. I am really looking forward to our reunion so I guess I can sacrifice a few hours of beauty sleep, just this once. I have been checking the time about every 30 seconds. I am somewhat lost with out him. Lilly is pretty excited as well, she misses her dad. I am a pathetic creature, I know.
