Beautiful Spring Day

Tilly's aunt Shelli took a ton of pictures of her today. (Thanks, Shelli!) A beautiful day and a beautiful little girl would make anyone want to take pictures, right?! ;)

Broken blog?

Nope, the blog is not broken. I'm just a little behind! With school and basketball it's just been a little crazy around here.

We have seen several basketball games in a few different states over the past few weeks (AR, TN, MO.) Ashley, my sister, and her team went all the way to the Elite 8 in St. Joseph, Missour, and we got to go watch her. They had a great season, and it was really neat to watch!! Tilly has been the number one fan. Sometimes though, the games fell during nap time, but that didn't stop her. She would just sleep during the game--don't ask me how!!!

Here's Ashley holding Tilly. Ashley is THE thoughest thing I have ever seen!

We got to visit my grandparents the last couple of days. We had a great time and loved relaxing and eating.
However, I can't say that Tilly was a big fan of the crawfish. But you can see that for yourself...

While I don't have a lot of pictures tonight, I will get back on the blog bandwagon very soon! Many more pictures to come...

ABC's and SNOW

Tilly's latest feat (almost) is learning to sing the ABC's. She recognizes her letters well, but singing the song is new. I love to hear it!!!



I can't say that I'm a huge fan of snow, because I HATE feeling stuck inside. BUT it was beautiful today. Tilly loved it. She kept screaming "snow--white---snow---white..." I know it's because that's all the books that teach colors refer to snow when teaching white. Guess it worked!

She had a ball, but I wouldn't let her stay out long. TOO cold!!!! Check out the little snow bunny.

Totally Tilly

Nell???

My sister Ashley and I occasionally think that Tilly acts like Nell..you know, from the movie... Anyway, tonight Tilly was in rare form and was acting like Nell, so I caught it. What I caught was actually not near as crazy as she can get, but I still thought it was blog worthy. Enjoy!

Here are some recent pictures...

Notice that Tilly matches her baby doll.

First Day of School...sort of

Tilly's Emmi (my MIL) teaches at a bible study every Wednesday. Since Tilly has turned TWO, she gets to go. Today is her first day, and she just left. I'm really excited for her because it's going to be her first "structured" classroom style environment to get her eased in to the whole preschool situation. PLUS, she'll be learning Bible stories and all sorts of neat stuff!

I even had to pack her a lunch....which meant I had to buy her a lunch box. How cute is that???

Tilly was really excited to see Emmi this morning!

Here's a full body shot... she was NOT into the photo shoot idea at 7:30 am...who can blame her?

A little something else going on with Tilly is that she HATES her bed. She does NOT want to sleep in it. She wants to sleep in the floor every night. We finally got her to sleep in her bed Monday night, but that's been it. She didn't sleep there last night.

Look how miserable she looks!!!

This is where she would rather sleep...

I mentioned in my last post that Tilly loves to hold rectangular shaped things up to her face and say "cheeseburger!!!," so when I tried taking a picture of her at Mandy's playdate Monday, here is what she did...

Here is the only other picture I got from the playdate. This is Tilly with Avery who is so cute and smart!!! I wish I would have gotten more pictures. It was such a fun morning. Mandy's house may NEVER be the same!!!

Just a little update

This should be our last year to go to Arkansas Tech basketball games. Ashley is in her final season of basketball, and Amanda finished last year. Tilly, of course, has fun at the games and arrives in style!!

Tilly and "Alli." Tilly seriously walked onto the gym floor like she owned the place. The guys team was even trying to practice after the girls game, but she didn't care. She tried to get right in the middle of it. I couldn't believe it because she is usually such a chicken! I guess basketball is in her blood. Unfortunately, I was only a carrier of that trait!!!

Tilly loves cameras these days. She loves to hold them (or anything shaped like a camera) up to her face and say "cheeseburger!!!"

Tilly had a very special visitor last week...KOHEN!! They haven't seen each other in over a year, and they had a fun time. The only way I could have them sit still was to give them suckers...

Don't they look thrilled???

Please notice that our BRILLIANT children are watching Elmo on the teeny tiny portable DVD player instead of the 50 some odd inch TV right beside it. Gotta love it!

Another special friend Tilly got to this week was one of my very best friends, Katie. She just bought a new house in Bossier and we were thrilled to see it! Love her...love the house!

Happy New Year to my 2 readers! ;)
