It's been a long time since I've posted anything. So much has happened so this will be a crazy post of lots of random things.

First of all Happy Birthday (a month ago) to my darling 3 year old! Wow I can't believe how fast time has gone. It seems like just a minute ago I was posting about her 2 year old happy birthday things. So here come the once a year Lily-isms:

Lily is so easy to laugh and smile and can change a tense mood quickly with her contagious laugh and wit. She has a really cute sense of humor that always gets me to chuckle. The other day we were putting on "tinker bell" clothes and she started singing "tinker bell, tinker bell, tinker all da way..."

Everyday she asks me for tinker bell vitamins and a butterscotch and root beer candy.

When we sing "I am a child of God" and we get the part "...teach me all that I must do..." she says (as if she's never said it before) "UNCLE STEW?" must-do.

Her newest craze is bugs. She LOVES bugs and plays with them and feeds them (lucky charms and ritz crackers) and then squishes them or stomps on them after she tells them they are cute or beautiful.

She LOVES LOVES LOVES her "little baby brudda." "Toby boy." She wants to hold him and kiss him and hug him and squeeze him and give him toys and take his hands out of his mouth and feed him and on and on. She is so sweet with him (mostly).

She has learned to swing all by herself on the big swings and can go "willy" high.

She loves her little friends and always wants to have one of them come over. Her most favorite friend is Paizley. They dance together and read stories and do each others hair and watch movies...

In preschool they given 2 or 3 poems to work on memorizing each month. She always has all 3 memorized within the first 2 weeks.

She loves her sister and wants to be like her. Olivia takes good care of her and they wear each other out. Livi has taught her how to climb on the doll house roof and jump off, she has taught her games on the trampoline and helps her with the swings when she needs it.

Some of her vocabulary - sumfing, dangewous, I SA-ID..., I know dat, can I help you?,

Favorite shows - peter pan broadway, barney, backyardigans,

I know this time flies away so fast and I will miss these cute memories. I hope that by jotting some of this down, I will be able to remember it and treasure it

Olivias birthday is coming up so next month I will post all about her cute things. She is learning so much in kindergarten. The most fun change that happened recently is she is READING! It is fun to hear her sounding out her words and reading to Lily and Toby. She writes stories using her sounds which turns out precious. I love sounding out her stories to see what she wrote. She is a beautiful girl with lots of fun energy! I love seeing her grow.

Toby is changing so fast! He sits up, rolls his rrrrrrr on the roof of his mouth, rolls over - ALL over, cruises around in his walker, eats baby food, says "hi", and belly laughs so contagious!!!

I just love these little people, they make my life complete.

now some random pictures...

Watching a show...Toby is half her size!

The girls got bunk beds! They love it. Livi on top, Lily on bottom.

I have started locking her out of my bathroom...

She is constantly filling up the sink with bubbles to "wash her hands" she tells me.

Lily playing with one of her bugs before she squishes it

I can't help it...I LOVE THIS FACE!!!

6 months...mealtime messes begin!

He loves watching the girls play no matter where they are. He books it around the house in his sweet teddy bear cruiser. This is how he watches the girls play outside. Sorry Tobs...

I love this picture of Olivia, sweet happy face.

Livi loves her little brother.
