Best Friends :)

 
Last night while I was giving Lily a bath, we were talking about friends. I was telling her that Bert and Ernie are best friends-they love each other and help each other out. I mentioned how maybe she and Annie would be best friends one day. She looked up and said "Mommy YOU'RE my best friend!" I hope she always feels that way. Melt. My. Heart.

I need to start a "Lily Quote of the Day" post more often. She can come up with some good ones! This morning she was holding her sister and said "Mommy, Annie is soooo cute. But she has boogers..." :)

Oh My...Its Almost Time!

As October is approaching I am overwhelmed with mixed emotions about our big move back to Bama. I cannot believe it is almost here-only 3 and a half weeks! I am so very excited to get back to family and friends but at the same time am going to miss our slow, easy going time here. (The same slowness that I often complain about in the winter...) In fact, we are only still here because Zack wanted to hunt here for the last time as a resident. He gives me a daily sob story about how this is a "once in a lifetime experience." He has his sights on mule deer, antelope and an elk. He has gotten two of the three. Still waiting on the one he really wants-the elk. So while he is hunting after work and on weekends, we have been having some major girl time around here. These two girlies are so much fun and definately keep me on my toes. Lily is starting to be so witty and comes up with the funniest little sayings and questions. She copies so much of what I say its a little scary :) So, as we're winding down here we are looking forward to the future and all that it entails. And I hope it entails an elk soon so I can have my husband back.... 
 
 
 

Where's the Beef?

Well, we're not quite ready for beef but Annie is gobbling up some rice cereal! I can't believe how fast she is growing and changing. She is such a beautiful, sweet baby. At her 4 month checkup, she weighed 12 lbs 6oz. She is 2 ft tall, and she is rolling all over the place:) And she spends most of her time watching her big sister running circles around her. It won't be long until she's running with her! I better go rest now... 
 

Happy Birthday to Me!

So last week was my birthday. The last year in my 20's-an occasion to be celebrated. Zack cooked me dinner-Bobby Flay style- and it was delish. Steak with blue cheese butter, homemade fries and celery salad. And it wouldn't be a birthday without cake, chocolate that is. It was a wonderful day and I can't wait to spend many more with my sweet family. 
 

Summer :)

Yes, I have been slacking in the blog department. But here's what we've been doing: 
 
 
 

Wild Wyoming Weekend

We have been known to take a spur-of-the-moment road trip before... It starts off as "just going for a drive" and sometimes ends up an overnight excursion. We went out just to take in some scenery on Saturday morning (poor Annie was still in her jammies) and found a beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere. There is so much vast open land here and it seems that your the only one whose ever seen it before-quite an awesome sight. Once we reached some civilization (aka a gas station) we realized we were only 75 more miles away from a 'big city'. We thought-why not-and continued on the trail. We're also potty training Lily right now (for real this time). By the time we had to stop to feed the baby, and go to the potty oh about a hundred times it was late afternoon before we arrived in Casper. Then, I of course had to have a Hobby Lobby and Target fix and eat somewhere and well there you go. As our weekends here are winding down, there's still so much more to see! h
