Good Nite Light

Anyone who knows Lilah knows she is a bundle of energy - and that might be down playing it! She goes from the second she gets out of bed to the second she goes to sleep. Here is the problem with that. She wakes up EVERY morning between 5:00 am and 5:30 am and she is ready to play! Every morning she comes running into our room and taps me whispering "Mommy Mommy Mommy get up." We try and put her back in her room, we try and tell her to wait for us to come get her, we try and bribe her, we try and punish her.......we try everything. But nothing is working and this mommy is tired of waking up so early every morning!

So in conversation the other night Mike casually mentioned some night light that a co worker used for his son. And early this morning - 3 cups of coffee deep - researching like a crazy lady - I found this magical night light. Whats so great you about it? It has a timer you set according to your family schedule. At night its a blue moon and it gives your child a visual cue by turning into a yellow sun when its time to get up. Of course we'll have to train her, but I think its brilliant. Its ordered and I am anxiously waiting. Here is the website if you think it might help you! http://www.goodnitelite.com/index.php

Georgia Ray's First Birthday

Georgia Ray
otherwise known as
G, G-Money, Peaches or Bugs
Turned 1 yesterday.
One year. The time has past so quickly. You are more a part of this family than ever. You fit perfectly. Like God hand picked you just for me. I got my mommy's girl. You snuggle just right in my arms, deviously giggle when you get into trouble, pull my face close and give kissies that linger (which always leaves daddy and I laughing) and have a curiosity about life.
I love you G. Happy Birthday Baby Girl.

Ready for the party

Not too sure about her cake. The easiest cake clean up ever.



Its a Pillow. Its a Pet. Its a Pillow Pet! And she loves it. Good Call Linda!

Wow......looking good Grandma and Grandpa. REALLY happy to be Central Alumni!

Time........it seems to slip away too fast these days. I hardly have time to truly appreciate one experience before we are on to the next. We have gone, gone, gone to the point that both Mike and I both fell asleep on the couch the other night - before we put Lilah to bed! That's really sad considering she goes to bed at 7:30. Thank goodness she was just as tired and patiently watched her cartoons until we woke up. Don't worry it was a short nap.

So what have we been up to?

Lilah threw the first pitch at the Everett Aqua Sox Game.
She was ecstatic!

Georgia is contemplating walking.

The Ellensburg Rodeo
Been going since I was Ity Bity and still love it. I love that I am now taking my children. Grandma and Grandpa were definitely smiling down on us.......laughing at our chaos.


A family reunion in Eastern WA.
Honestly, I am still not sure where we were. It was beautiful. It was a long car ride with 2 kids ;)

And what would life be without a few trips to the ER and our favorite Dr. Lassinger?!
2 for G - 2 for Lilah - seriously kids, mom is getting sick of the co-pays.
This week we have Lilah's check up with the eye surgeon and G's well child.


Up Next.
Georgia turns 1
Smile
Tear
Sigh.....
