Candy Balls!

 Alright, so it is hot here.  Have I said that yet?  Maybe you didn't hear me... it is HOT!  So, we are swimming a lot.  (Haha--I'm rhyming-it was unintentional!)  I was a little worried about Lily because in the past she refused to put her face in the water.  If any water got near her eyes she would freak out.  Apparently these things pass with time.  She loves to put her face in the water and tell me how many times she has put her face in the water!  The above picture is of Lily jumping into the water screaming "candy ball!"  The term was picked up in San Diego.  Apparently when Mike yelled "cannon ball" while jumping into the water, Lily and Isabel heard "candy ball" and the phrase has stuck.
The picture below is the closest I could get to a picture of her with her face in the water.  My photography skills are sadly lacking. Maybe one day!

Auntie's Post

This is a special post for Auntie Kelly.  Look at this adorable dress.  I can't remember where Lily got it from, but isn't she cute???

Lily's 4th Birthday Party-the retake

So we finally got to have Lily's party after everyone recovered from a stomach bug (lucky us!).  We had lots of fun with lots of friends.  Lily had a blast and loved all of her ladybug stuff.  We played in the water, which was nice because Texas is HOT, I mean seriously, no kidding, HOT.  Unfortunately, the lady bug cake got a little melty this time, but noone seemed to notice.  Lily had so much fun, she is already talking about her birthday party next year!
