Update

The Princess had an amazing Christmas and she keeps saying that Santa loves her very much, its so cute! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas as well! We are getting ready to bring Rayden home this weekend so the house is very crowded as we are going through all of the baby things and doing some shopping because our last little one was a baby girl =] Just wanted to let everyone know that all is well and next time I update...we'll have a new addition!

Lilly is going to be a big sister!

We have started feeling out paperwork to get our new little guy home =] Please check the adoption blog to read all about our amazing news! Click here to visit the blog!

Here are some updated pictures of Ms. Lillyana! Can you all believe that she is 2 now? These were taken not to long ago! Also as for an update from being sick, Lilly is back home and is feeling 100% better! Thank you for all the sweet comments!

We call her Beautiful =]

Look at my sweet baby sister! Isn't she breathtaking, especially in the first picture. She has the most soft and girly features. I just love her chubby cheeks and her soft perfect skin. I just think that this little girl is beautiful inside and out =]

It's been awhile.

Hey guys, sorry about the lack of blogging for this long period of time. School is almost over and then I am good to go for summer! I will be back on a regular basis, hopefully! I am not working this summer because I just want free time. I feel pretty fortunate that I don't have to, all of my friends are going to be working this summer. I want to spend a lot of time with my Little Bug =] I want to be able to take her out to the pool, the park, and she would love to go to the zoo! I look forward to doing all these big sister things with her!! I really miss her during the school year, I don't see her near as much as I want to because I am always so busy. There really isn't anything new going on in Lilly's world..but we do have big news at the other blog!

Have a great week!

Lilly Jayde being silly in Mommy's new car!


Bryson [adopted 4-3-06] and Lilly being silly. She didn't want to pose for the camera.

Back to normal

Everything is finally back to normal here at home. Lilly Bug is back to her sweet and sassy little self and I am all caught up in school. We're just trying to keep Lilly at home as much as we can right now due to all the sickness still in the air. The weather is very nice but we are scared that if she is outdoors to much, then pollen will get her allergies started and we don't want a repeat sickness no time soon! Nothing has really been going on around here, just hanging out. School will be out in about two months. I love summer break because the LiL Bug is all mine =] I get to be with her all day long. In the school year, I get so busy and its like I barely ever see her. Thats why I can't wait until summer time! Well thats all of the update I've got for now...not much I know. I hope you are all doing great!

What a face =] Sorry about the snotty nose, thats pretty much how its been the past month :\

Much Better Now!

As crazy as it seems, Lilly is just now 100% better. She was in the ER for two nights due to the croup and a severe double ear infection. Then once she got home, she was hit with the flu and so were me and my mom. It was horrible! Our house has not been the happiest place the past few weeks. We are just now getting back on track after missing many events and me missing a 7 days of school. I'm so so behind, but it'll be ok. I have really good teachers that will help me out. Lilly is just now getting her complete appetite back and is about to eat us out of the house. Hehe we think its from where she basically didn't eat anything for about 9 days in a row. I'm so happy to have my sweet LiL Bug back! Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts.

We've got a sick baby girl

Lilly has had a 103 fever for the past two days :[ She is so pitiful and all she is wanting is to be loved on and cuddled with. We are off to the doctor for the second time in the morning. Please keep our little girl in your thoughts as she tries to get better.

*Update at the other blog*

We tried a photo shoot...

and this is what we got...

Overall, Lilly did really good with me taking her picture. She did a pretty good job sitting down and smiling for the camera. The only issue we have is that she wants to make silly faces when she sees the camera, therefore, all of her pictures are crazy. And then of course after awhile she gets restless and is ready to get up and be on the go again. Its so hard to believe that she was so photogenic at one time. hehe :)

Hope you enjoyed the pics...its been awhile!

New Look and New Pictures

I hope that you all like the new blog look. I was ready to get it all decorated for the Holidays. I took pictures of Lilly Jayde in her new hat today and thought that they would be perfect for the winter theme. Speaking of her hat, I have forgotten to mention the sad news...Lilly won't keep bows in her hair right now. We have tried everything but she just whines and eventually gets them out. I'm pretty sad. LoL. She does really good with the hat though and she doesn't even acknowledge it.
Well, here is a cute picture from this morning..ENJOY! She was laughing so hard when I took this!

Catching up with Lilly Jayde

Guess what everyone...I HAVE PICTURES! Its only a few, but I thought I would post them because everyone is getting anxious. Hehe I don't blame you...she's pretty adorable!

Things are going really good. We're just getting ready for the Holidays! I am very excited, I just love this time of year! I will be pretty busy the next couple weeks so this will probably be my last post for a little while...I'll be back though! Hope you all love the pictures!


Isn't she so beautiful!


Me and my LiL Bug!

I'm still here!

Hey there everyone! I am finally able to sit down and get alittle blogging in! I am also hoping that I have time to visit some blogs as well! Things are going great...just very busy. Now that school has started and I have a job, things are hectic so I do not have as much computer time as I would like. And when I have free time, I want to be with my family who I feel like I am barely ever with right now. I have posted on all of my blogs so check them out! If you are waiting for photo editing, digital scrapbooking, or blog makeovers from me, please just bare with me and I will get them to you ASAP! If you find someone else, I will totally understand!

Well, thats all for now! I will hopefully be back very soon!

*Doesn't Lilly look precious in that picture?

2 Crazy Girls

I know that I usually show the precious, perfect, adorable pictures that I take of the girls. Today I wanted to change things a little bit and take a big step. Aren't these pictures so funny? I took both of them today and it was so funny that they both had goofy faces and their bellys are showing. I just had to make something with it!

Trying to get caught up

Hey everyone! I am here to get caught up with my blogging! As many of you are wondering, Lilly is feeling better! She was back in the ER on Sunday night whenever she wouldn't keep anything down and her fever got high again. She has had an intestinal virus. It has been tough but we are getting back on track. I haven't taken any pictures over the past few days...I took these today but she wasn't really feeling like a photo shoot. The picture on the right is my favorite! It shows her sweet little features and her beautiful smile! and did you notice her hair??? Awwww, it is getting so long! And yes, that is a hair barret, so cute! I hope that I am 100% caught up in bloggerworld and that I can soon get back to daily post!

The sick baby girl

Is feeling a little better today. She had a not so good night but we were expecting that...
She was up from 1-4 and then back asleep until about 8. She fussed alot in her sleep and was very restless. As for the day...she was alot better. She didn't nap like she does normally but we were totally expecting that. We still have a few days of not so good probably but we are willing to work with Lilly so she can get to feeling better faster!

*The picture was taken on Saturday whenever we were going out to dinner!
Enjoy!

The picture explains it

As you can tell by the picture, Lilly wasn't in the best mood today. That is why I have no more pictures. We don't think that she felt good. We are just going to go by how she does tonight and see what we think. She hasn't messed with her ear or anything so hopefully its not her ears. I will update tomorrow!

This picture is from Sunday before church. Isn't Lilly Jayde's dress so pretty? This dress is very special because it is the very first purchase that we made after we were matched with a birth mother. We bought it at a boutique that my mom's good friend owns. We bought this outfit and just in case, we also bought a little boy outfit because we were clueless to what the baby was.
We have been waiting for her to be able to wear it and after she grows out of it, it will be hung up on the wall in Lilly's nursery!

Lilly's 1st Sippy Cup

Awwww! My sweet LiL Bug had her first "sippy time" today and she loved it! At first she really didn't know what was going on, but after we showed her, she got it really good! Such a smart girl!!

FFFF Challenge!

Here is the FFFF Challenge! I saw the topic and I knew that these pictures were perfect!
Enjoy!

Old pic with a New look

I knew that alot of you would like it since many of you are ladybug fans!

My Little Diva

First off I wanted to say sorry for my lack of post here lately but I have been really busy! It is crazy how adding one little baby to the house can make things crazy!
Lilly Jayde will be 10 months on Thursday. It is so crazy how the time goes by s0o fast. I remember whenever all she did was sleep and eat all the time just like it was yesterday and now...she is doing so much! I just love her age that she is now. It is very fun!!!
Well, my camera messed up last night so I am going to have to get a new one. We do have one other camera in the house but it isn't very good quality so hopefully we will be able to get me a new one very soon! I will post older pictures over the next few days.

Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!
