What's For Dinner?

I hope Daddy likes what I'm making fo dinner. It's always so hard to figure out what to make him...















Does anyone know what the internal temp of a microwaved lizard should be? Izzy feels a little cool.















Let's see how she tastes. A little tough,but..

















DE---LICIOUS! Daddy's going to love her.

Happy Valentine's Day

Thomas, the Gang, and I are sending hugs and kisses your way.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub...

Moo-La's in the tub?
Hey, how did we end up in the washing machine?
Oh, yeah- Jakie!
Jakie was under the weather last week so me (La-La aka La), Moo and Baby Moo got ALOT of one on one face time with him-in his attempt to wipe of boogers!
Today, his mommy decided we needed a bath.
Yes, Jakie is only in his diaper- he was boycotting clothing this morning.









I went into the big machine first. Jakie was alittle too eager to throw me into it.
















Next went Moo and Baby Moo. You should have heard Moo scream. You'd have thought he was having his eye chewed off...now that hurts (and I should know).













"Good-bye Moo-Las. Have a good bath!"

And that's all I remember, once the machine started I blacked out...when I woke up I smelled yummy and had no boogers on me!

Mr. FixIt

Grandma & Papa gave me this cool remote control John Deere tractor for Christmas. It's broken, however- it won't dump. Daddy's at work (so he can't help fix it) and Mommy just doesn't know how to fix things! I guess it's up to me.

I'm glad that Uncle Ed and Aunt Kristina gave me these tools for Christmas. They're just like dads. I hope this drill doesn't tickle the tractor.

So far nothing seems to be working. It's still stuck.

Ahhh, the trusty saw to the rescue. "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch"! (sound effects provided by Jakie)

I think the problem is with the tractor guy- he's in desperate need of a lobotomy!
All fixed! Now the tractor can dump my Playdoh anywhere I want it to. Beep! Beep!

Lights, Camera, Veggie Tales

Today I saw my very first movie in the movie theater! Mommy, Daddy, and I went to see the Veggie Tales movie-it's about pirates. Arghhh! Lily stayed at home because she's not big like I am.

As we walked into the theater, the loud sound from the previews and the huge screen made me a little nervous (I was walking in front of mommy and I decided to turn around and leave). We eventually made it to our seats. I found that the best way to watch a movie is to lie on the seat on your tummy, with your head on daddy's arm, and your feet on mommy's legs (very comfy!). I watched the movie eating my popcorn (a first), M&Ms, and drinking daddy's soda...I didn't talk at all. I did alot of laughing-those Veggie Tale guys are pretty hilarious (how did they use those swords-they have no arms?) I can't wait for the next movie!

I can definitely see why Grandma and Papa love to go to the movies every Friday. Maybe they'll come with me one day?

Happy New Year

Spike, Snort, and I rang in the New Year together. Things got a little crazy and Snort ended up with a box on his head.
Hope your 2008 is a BLAST!

New Year Haircut

Please God, don't let daddy take off too much hair...the ladies like the hair!
















This hair really itches- I'm glad I told Lil to take her shirt off for her haircut!
















Tada! Handsome as ever.

White Christmas

What a Christmas! Not only did I get everything I wanted from Santa- it SNOWED!

Daddy is pulling me up the driveway- I'm on my way to go sledding down our big hill.




Daddy pulls me to the very top of the hill and then lets me gooo.....












Yippeee- this is SO much fun.













I got more daring. Here I am on my tummy....













Whoo Hooo- this is the life!













See that big blur going down the hill- it's my daddy.












He wanted in on the action- not bad sledding for a dad!












I eventually got bored of sledding and decided we needed to shovel the walkway- hope this spade does the job?!

Say "Cake"

Cookies For Santa

Mommy and I made cookies for Santa. Since he's bringing me 'Thomas Goes Down-Down-DOWN', the least I can do is make him a treat.

I spent all last evening scouring Mom's cookbook looking for the perfect cookie to make.


We made devils food cake cookies with a Hershey's kiss center... thanks for the recipe Auntie -Oll!












See, here are the Hershey's kisses...maybe mommy won't notice if I take one (she's busy taking pictures)

Just to let you know, Jakie decided it was a good idea to lick the bottom of the candy before placing it on the cookie. So the next time you find yourself at our house being offered cookies, ask who made them first!

Here they are- Santa's cookies. They are yummy. To quote Jakie after he took his first bite "ohhh, gooey!"

Being the neat freak that he is, Jakie refused to eat the center because he got chocolate on his fingers-I had to feed it to him!



Making cookies for Santa is alot of hard work- in fact you get so hot that you need to take your shirt off!

Cookies and milk-that Santa sure knows what to ask for! Happy eating.

'Babysitter' for Hire

Before going for walk, you must dress the dolly. Afterall, it's cold outside!

Maybe this is how all the cool dolls are wearing their hats?!










Then you take the dolly for a stroll...duh, that's why they call it a stroller!

Notice the technique, the stroller handle goes in the crook of your arm (mental note to try this)










And then you skip, strolling is for wimps....













Forget all that, a full gallop is the way to go...hold on dolly we're going to hit mach speed in 1.1 seconds.


Words cannot express Jakie's ability to babysit Lily's dolly, so here's a video. I think you'll want to hire him the next time you're in desperate need of a sitter...enjoy!

My Christmas Tree

This is my very own Christmas tree. I liked mommy's so much that she went out and bought me my very own tree- I can do whatever I want with it...put trains in it, fall into it, and take the ornaments off.









"Hey Gigi, where does this ball go?"













"Over here, Lil, on the bottom of the tree"

I bet you're getting warm fuzzy Christmas feeings just looking at this picture. But wait...










"NO,NO Lil, come back with the ornment. STOP, it's mine!"

He proceeded to tackle her to the ground and pry the 'ornment' from her fingers









"It'sMY tree, Lil"













While Jakie went to play elsewhere, Lil decided this time she wanted Santa instead of a ball...can you guess what happened next?!

First Snow of the Year

Saturday there was a huge snow storm. When I woke up Sunday morning there was a lot of snow outside. There was so much snow, that Daddy got to use his new snowblower.

When he was done, he popped his head inside and asked if I wanted to go play outside in the snow and go sledding...umm, does Pope Benedict wear Prada? Of course, I want to go play outside!

Here I am getting all bundled up- I even wore a hat and gloves (the hat stayed on, but the gloves kept falling off)

Dad unlocked the backyard gate for me, I took one step and fell on my tummy. I couldn't get up on my own no matter how hard I tried (think kid from 'Christmas Story')- dad pulled me up multiple times.




I went sledding up and down the hill in front of our house. It was a BLAST! Oh yeah, sippy cup came outside to play with me- I don't leave home without it!










I also made my very first snow angel- if you squint you can just make it out (it's hard to photograph a snow angel)








Then it was time to come inside- tired and very rosy cheeked I put up a fuss, but I lost...I came inside, undressed, had some hot chocolate, and reminisced about sledding for the REST of the day.

Stay warm!
