Weekend at the Lake

We got to go to the lake again this year to celebrate Independence Day. We had a BALL! Tilly was lots of fun in the water, and had a great time too.

Breakfast!!!!

Although she would not let me go "fast," Tilly let me drive her on the jet ski. She's still a pretty big chicken...

Tilly was really excited to see the fish that G caught.

Tilly and Aunt Ashley

So much for a sweet little girl.... I'm pretty sure Ashley taught her this...

As always, Tilly was dressed for the occasion.

This is my favorite! She was really posing!!! :)

Tilly and Aunt Amanda.

Now, Tilly (and everyone in my family but me) are sound asleep after a fun weekend! I'm already looking forward to next year!

Tilly Unplugged

So, Tilly just pretty much LOVES to sing. I get pretty cracked up at how she'll make up her own songs (one about a bumble bee?) or how she'll sing certain grown up songs like "Poker Face." Anyway, here she is singing one of her favorites... Be sure to watch all 3. She's pretty dramatic, and I think that rings clear in these videos! Pretty funny to me, anyway!

Sparklers are Scary!!!

It seems like at least once a day that I ask Tilly, "Are you a chicken or a girl?" because she acts scared of everything...bugs, noises, and you name it! The girl is a big ole chicken!!! However, I was really proud of her tonight when she was playing with sparklers. She was scared at first, but then she started to really enjoy it. She was pretty cute with them... of course!!!!!

Dinner with my Dad

Tilly and I got to have dinner with my dad twice last week. VERY fun--we had a lot of laughs, and Tilly loves her G!!!

Clearly, they were both worn out after two nights of big dinners!

Do you think they like each other??

Tilly was pretty bossy (as usual!) and made G keep fist bumping her.

We said, "last time" and she kept saying, "last time, one more time....one more time...." Of course, G keeps on as long as Tilly wants!

Thanks for dinner(s) dad!!!!

Family Reunion--Way More Fun than it Sounds!!!!

These pictures are about a week late, but with VBS last week, I was too tired to even turn on the computer! (But it was worth it!) Now, after not one but TWO hate emails from my Nana... I've decided to post the pictures from our family reunion. We go to Lake Martin in Alabama which is truly the most beautiful lake I've ever seen, and it is always a BLAST!

Here is the amazing view from the lake house where the reunion is held... Tilly loved the lake, but I know her favorite part was getting to "tee-tee" in the water. :)
Thanks, Mandy, for telling me about puddle jumpers--Love them!!!!!

She did excellently in the car thanks to Dora and being simply worn out...

This is me with our "matriarch" Aunt Muriel. She is my great-great-great aunt. Love her dearly!

In this picture, Tilly has Nana's gambling money! We play a card game called "Blitz" every year where three quarters are at stake....

Oh, the faces this girl makes!

Here she is showing me her dirty hand from a little fall she took... this bothers her greatly!!! ha!

Such a fun weekend! Can't wait for next year!

First Pool Day!!!!

Tilly was ready to go to the pool this morning (as you can tell!) It was a great morning with not too much sunshine, and Tilly and Micah had a great time. They were both super excited about the water and were perfect the whole time!

We'll be going to another pool tomorrow... It was already planned, but Tilly really didn't want to leave so I PROMISED her we were going swimming again tomorrow! :)
