                                        Thursday, February 16, 2012. My Wheel of Fortune experience, Pt. I. It's always been a dream of mine to stand next to Pat Sajak. Weird, right? A greasy little Lilly after our exhausting Wheelmobile adventure. Fast forward to the beginning of 2011. Aaron and I were watching Wheel one night and they announced that the Wheelmobile was coming to a nearby city that weekend. Holy crap. Everyone was there. Like, seriously. Every one in the Inland Empire. You were probably there, too. Our host came onstage, did ...

                                        Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Our apartment is turning into an art museum. My little Picasso loves to color rainbows and draw circles and write scribbles in her joonal. Yeah, she calls random pieces of scratch paper her journal. Adorbs.) Lilly is turning into quite the little artist and I love collecting her works of art and putting them on display. I hope not. Yeesh. I'm having second thoughts. Is this how people end up on Hoarders. This is the inside of a card she made for our friend Laura. If we have a ...

                                        Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Lilly's First Day of School. For the last month or two, Lilly has been begging me to take her to school. Please, Mommy. Please can I go to school? I'll bring my backpack and markers and snacks. Please? I really like my teacher. Pleeeeease? The day was off to a rocky start. Addie had a major blowout that resulted in a poop-covered playpen. I didn't pack a sandwich for Lilly and, of course, that was the one thing she needed for a successful day at school. I signed her in, help...

                                        Wednesday, December 26, 2012. I can't believe Christmas is over already! I was so busy decking the halls and getting all holly/jolly that I never had time to write about all of the fun things we were doing. Sorry! We decorated our apartment and trimmed our tree ages ago, but, for the sake of tradition. I thought I should still document it here. For all of you. We hosted a Friendsgiving feast at our place the day after Thanksgiving and we spent the day after that getting into the Christmas spirit. A week ...

                                        Friday, June 29, 2012. Lilly has some crazy hair. (It's our fault, really. Aaron and I both have some crazy cowlicks.) But cowlicks aren't Lilly's only hair related problem. Her hair is kinda curly and wild. Rarely will she allow me to tame her locks with bows or ponytails. She's like a young Gene Wilder, this one. In an attempt to keep her looking a little less like Frederick Frankenstein. We get her hair trimmed pretty regularly. (It helps that my super awesome cousin owns a hair salon. Recently starte...

                                        Thursday, December 6, 2012. We call him Elfee. A week or so ago, Lilly was being particularly devilish. In a moment of desperation, I mumbled something about an elf watching her behavior and reporting back to Santa. I didn't realize that my three-year-old would interpret this into visions of a horrific evil troll hiding in our home, watching her every move. She couldn't be left alone that night without bursting into tears and yelling something about elves being everywhere. Mom of the year, amirite? Oh, b...

                                        Sunday, January 6, 2013. Well, now that we are already a week into 2013 (The future! I guess I should write about Christmas. Gah. Seems like ages ago. I hope I can remember it all. forgive me if I start to fill in any gaps with unbelievable stories. Sidenote: What is wrong with me? I am such a slacker when it comes to blogging lately. I wish I could say that keeping this thing up to date is one of my goals for 2013, but sadly, it really isn't. I am the worst.).

                                        Monday, October 8, 2012. Happy birthday, Lilly! Lilly turned three last week! Lord have mercy. She's already three. Excuse me while I bawl my eyes out.) I'm usually all about the birthday. But this year, I decided I wanted to take a break. I invited a few people to join us at the Happiest Place on Earth and, of course, Lilly counted down the days. Aaron's mom even flew in from Nashville to celebrate with us. And because there were so many adults in our party, I was able to abandon my children and ride th...
