Laundry day

Mommy and Daddy went to Sacramento for their Pre-Cana class today, and Oompah went to work. So it was just MarMar and me for most of the day. We had fun later in the day, but first we had to do the laundry. I don't know why most people don't like doing the laundry. I had fun!

It looks like I was tired, but it was just that MarMar caught me off-guard when she took the picture!Yes, I do know I was supposed to be folding it. But I had to check to see if it was really dry first, didn't I?
There's nothing like the smell or feel of freshly laundered clothing--don't you agree?

What's that, MarMar? Get back to work?

OK, but work is nowhere near as fun as playing!

Happy Easter!

We went to the cabin for Easter. Mommy, Daddy, MarMar and me. We met up with Grandma Patty and my cousin Frankie. Here's some pictures. I'll put some more up when Oompah's not so busy with work and other things, OK?

I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille!

What can I say? I'm trying to take Mommy's attention away from the fact that I'm playing with something I shouldn't be playing with. Cute always works!

Major league material

Mommy got a picture of me throwing my ball around. Usually, I just kick it, but all the grown-ups around here think it's a big deal that I can throw it already! I guess they're easy to entertain! Sometimes I giggle when I throw it, too. That makes Oompah even sillier!

Bup, Bup, Bup

Mommy took me to the park a couple of weeks ago and sent this video to Oompah to cheer him up while he's on the road. He says he loves it! At the end of the video, you can hear me say, "Bup, bup, bup!" I don't quite have it down yet, but it's my way of saying, "Up, up, up!" or "Do it again! That was fun!"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everyone!

Here's a website I think is cute. Some of my "homies" got together and had some fun. I hope you enjoy it!

Weight training!

Mar-Mar bought some weights to help us keep our girlish figures! I thought I would give them a try.

I have to mentally prepare--and stand next to MarMar to do it right!
Let me see...is it breathe in or breathe out as I lift?

Happy Springtime!

I know it's not really Springtime officially yet, but it sure felt like it today! I got up early and went with Mommy and Mar-Mar to Sacramento to watch my Aunt Sarah run in a half-marathon! She did pretty good! I couldn't do it! (I just learned to walk, silly!--Give me a few years!)

I was having fun just hangin' out and waiting for Sarah and Tony to finish!
Like my hat????

I got a hat just like mine for Aunt Sarah. So she invited me over to her house for pie after the race. Mommy and Mar-Mar went, too.

When we got home, there was yard work to do!

But I can't get any work done when all Oompah wants to do is play with me!

I forget who was saying what here, but don't I at least LOOK interested??

I don't know why Mommy stood so far back to take this picture, but I thought I look cute here, so I included it in today's blog! It's a woman's perogative, you know!

I don't think I ever got anything done, but I did LOOK GOOD in this outfit, didn't I???

This isn't your "mummie's" museum!

Hola! Soy Lily! (inside joke for Oompah!)
I had a lot of fun today! Mommy took me on my first official play date with my friends Luke and Kayley and their mommies. We went to the Children's museum in Stockton, where we live.

I thought the fire engine was smokin'! (Another "Oompah" pun--sorry!)


Here's Luke and me discussing the aerodynamics of helicopters. He's pretty smart for a boy!

I "bearly" made it out of there!
Actually, the bear's not so tough! He should see ME when I'm hungry!

Taking advantage of God's great sunshine!

It was such a nice day Sunday that I thought I would like to play outside. So MarMar and Mommy helped me get around on my tricycle, then we played a little soccer before getting back to work on the hedges! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

It's supposed to start raining again tomorrow, so I won't be able to get out much for the next couple of days. More pictures as soon as I can! Bye now!

Workin' it with Mar Mar

I like to exercise to the Jane Fonda workout video with MarMar in the evenings. It helps us both keep our "girlish" figures! Oompah says MarMar is looking goooooood!

That's it!--Work it, work it!

Sometimes Mar Mar gets the instructions wrong and we get tangled up!

But that's what makes it fun!

Birthday Wishes for Great-Grandma!

Happy Birthday, Great Grandma! Can you believe it? 91 years old today! Thank you for coming over to my house to celebrate it! I always have fun when I see you! Next time, though, bring your walker so I can help you get around! (Ha ha)

God Bless you GG!

Oompah says you got 3 candles instead of 91 because his smoke detector isn't working right!

Well, you blew out all the candles! Did you make a wish? I hope it comes true!

I don't know what you said, but Auntie Sarah and Daddy thought it was funny!

Good-bye for now! See you again soon!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy St. Valentine's Day, everybody! Here are some pictures we took this weekend. It was a pretty busy couple of days. When I got home tonight, I was really tired! So I'll let Oompah put the pictures on my blog while I go to bed. He's good about that sort of thing.

Here, I was able to talk Great-grandma into reading a couple of my books to me while we were waiting for Daddy to be baptized.

I had to show Auntie Carolyn the way into the church from the parking lot.

Grandma looked like she needed some help, so I stepped in!

After Daddy's big day, we went to Murphy's and had a lunch to celebrate his happy day along with Mommy's and Aunt Sarah's birthdays. It seemed like EVERYBODY was there!

Then, most of us went on up to Arnold and the cabin to finish out the long weekend. I love the cabin. Here, we're finishing up a light snack before dinner.

My cousins Hilary, Paige, and Frankie went to play on the swings in the snow with me. I can't go as high as they can---YET!

Aunt Sarah and her boyfriend Tony were goofing off in one of those "Snuggles". I really like Tony! He's a lot of fun to be with!

Then it was Mommy and Daddy's turn to "Snuggle" up. But I didn't want them to be alone!

Here's Mommy and Aunt Sarah waiting to blow out candles on their birthday cake.

Well, that's all the pictures for now. We'll try to get some more by next week. I really like showing them to you!

I love to swing!

Playing on the swings is one of my favorite things! Especially in the snow!

What a week!

First I learned to walk, now I'm learning how to read the newspaper! I think I'll wait a while to actually understand what I'm reading, though, because Oompah says the news isn't much good these days and I don't want to have to worry at my age!

Ha Ha! Just kidding!, I don't really know how to read, silly! Can't you tell the newspaper is upside down????
