Daddy Is Very Proud

Today when Lily and I checked the mail, we had received a package.  Lily immediately asked if it was for her and I told that is was for daddy.  She couldn't wait to get home to tell her daddy that we had a box for him.  When we got home, Billy was in the backyard mowing.  She screamed loud enough to get his attention.  He asked her what she needed.  This is how the conversation went:

Lily:  Daddy, we got a box in the mail today and it's for you.

Billy:  How do you know it's for me?

Lily:  Because it says D A D D Y!

Yes, she spelled out Daddy!  He was so proud!  And, I was very proud of my girl...but, why did I teach her Daddy before Mama?? Guess I will be working on that one next! :)

Happy First Birthday, Penny!

June 18, 2010

Today was our sweet Penny's first birthday.  Her presents were a new rubber ball and a package of bagel raw hides.  I think she was very pleased with both.

Roller Skating

For Lily's 4th birthday, she received roller skates from NaNa and PaPa Joe.  Well, we are just now letting her try them out.  We first started her out in the house on the carpet.  But of course she insisted that she knew how to skate and wanted to move on to bigger and better skating surfaces.  We cleared out the garage and let her go.  She did do very well.  No big crashes!  She enjoyed it very much and can't wait to do it again.

Father's Day Surprise

June 13, 2010

Billy received his Father's Day gift a little early this year.  He has been wanting a grill to cook us some healthy dinners.  His first try at cooking was pork chops...and they were delicious!  Can't wait to see what's next! :)

A Short Visit

After Maw Maw's Hawaiian vacation, she stayed with us for a few days.  We sure do love visits from Maw Maw!  We were able to do our favorite thing together...shop! :-)

Memorial Day Weekend 2010

This year we decided to spend our Memorial Day weekend in Shreveport.  We had a very full weekend!  Friday night we went out to dinner with MaMaw Pat and Uncle Ricky.  Saturday morning MaMaw Pat insisted on cooking us breakfast...which we always LOVE! :)  She then had a special treat in store for lunch...her homemade Chicken and Dumplings.  It just doesn't get any better than that!  Saturday afternoon we went to Sharon's to visit and swim for a few hours.  Saturday evening we went to the annual Mudbug Madness Festival.  We didn't eat any crawfish, but I did have a very yummy Natchitoches Meat Pie...oh so good!  Sunday, Sharon and Kevin had family and friends over for BBQ and swimming.  Lily had a blast with her cousins.  Monday, we visited NaNa and Papa Joe before heading back home.  Overall, a very good weekend! :)

As you can see, Lily's ready for swimming!
