New pictures!

I have the priviledge of living close to my talented sister Brittany who occasionally takes pictures of my babe. We were over at their house a few days ago playing at the park and she took a bunch! Here are a few of my favs.

Goofball!

Here are a few pictures of Lily being her goofy little self. She's playing peek-a-boo under a blanket...

Trying to EAT the bubbles!



Playing with her babies. They are all lined up, diapered of course, and wrapped in blankets. I think this is her attempt at "cheese".

Is this MY passy???

19 months!

Lily is 19 months already. How did that happen?? Here are a few of her current "interests".
All her "babies" must be diapered....
She loves to color up on our island in the kitchen...You're probably thinking she'll fall off one of these days....but I hope not. I'm always close by.

She loves gloves! We have some small ones for her, but she usually likes to wear mine.

If her outfit has a hood, she must have it on!

And she's obsessed with the computer. She's turning on the monitor here, and will move the mouse around and type on the keyboard. She'll probably delete something important one day....

You might wonder how the two of us are related? We look nothing alike. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. :) (We just got back from the gym, so I'm lookin' pretty fly...but she looks cute so I had to post it!)

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Andrew and I just got back from Puerto Vallarta for our good friend's Jen and Steve's wedding! (Lily stayed with my mom this time...Thanks mom!!) We had such an amazing time!! It was warm, and relaxing, and so much fun to be with our friends. Here we are on the beach in old town PV before dinner. (Dad, you would LOVE this place!!!)

We all went on a Jungle zip line tour, which was very fun!! The lighting is horrible in this picture, but they wouldn't let you take your camera up on the zip lines, so this is all we got! (Besides, they make you wear dorky helmets and rock climbing gear...not the most flattering anyway!) There we 15 zip lines, some very high and very fast!! It was a blast!

Andrew, Jason (Gray's husband), and Phil (Heather's boyfriend) lounging at the pool at our hotel

The gorgeous hotel, Playa Fiesta! It's a small hotel, and the wedding party were the only guests there. It was so nice, intimate and fun to practically know everyone (especially by the end of the week). It wasn't over-crowded...the food was fantastic....it could not have been more perfect!

The view from our fabulous two-bedroom suite we shared with Jason and Gray. It was amazing!!

Wedding day!!! This was actually after the ceremony when they were all taking pictures. The sunset was gorgeous!

The four of us, hanging out.
Here are a few pictures I took during the ceremony. I don't want to post too many...that's why you pay the big bucks for a photographer...but here are a few moments I captured. Jen's flower girls, her nieces Delaney and Riley. They were adorable...and we were all very proud they made it down the isle!
The beautiful bride and groom! Can't you just tell how in love they are!? They are a perfect couple and we are so happy for them!!!
I LOVE this picture!! Isn't the view incredible!? I just can't say enough about this place. It was awesome!




We had such a good time! Thanks Jen and Steve for having such a great destination wedding! We love you guys!!!

Brunswick Weekend

We went down to Brunswick for a quick visit this past weekend and here are a few pictures of our trip.
Lily loves Meme and Poppa's kitty, Carmen. She follows her everywhere and squeals with delight whenever she sees her. Carmen is pretty patient with her, and tolerates her most of the time, but will hide in their room when it gets too crazy. It drives Lily nuts! She spends a lot of time at this door, trying to coax Carmen out!

Is she under there?


She finally found her....at last!

Riding the rocking horse with the help of her other cousin, Ethan (look familiar? Both Ethans love to help!)

Sweet little Emery, Lily's newest cousin, checking everything out. It's a good thing she's the third child. Lily smothers her every chance she gets!!!

The beach in January!

Only in Georgia can you go to the beach in January!! While we were in Brunswick, we went over to St. Simons Island for some beach fun! The weather forcast was for 75 degrees today, but as you can tell, once we got to the beach, it was a bit chilly. But we still went out and had some fun anyway! Lily really enjoyed the sand, and only tasted it once. Here's Lily heading down to the beach with Meme and Poppa. How cute is that??


Pulling the wagon through the sand is a very serious job!

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!! I had a few pictures left on my camera of miss Lily that I wanted to post. She's turning in to such a girly girl! The other day she wanted to wear my shoes (definitely not a news flash there!) Anyway, she was clomping around out on our porch, doing surprisingly well in heels. Uh oh!


She also likes carrying around purses; anything with a strap becomes a purse. She also loves phones. She'll tuck it under her chin and walk around talking gibberish. It's hilarious. Is that what I look like??? :) We found an old cell phone of Andrew's that she likes to play with, so the other day she wanted to be in her crib, with a little pillow and blanket, and was talking on her phone. So cute.


She is so cute and fun right now, and such a social butterfly! She says hello to everyone and waves really big. We are still working on her vocabulary. She thinks she's talking to us, but we can't understand a word of it. She can say mama and dada, no (of course), car, please (her version, anyway). But, I know it will click one of these days and I won't get her to stop!!
