Asleep at dinner

This is what happens when we have to much fun at Paw Paws we fall asleep while eating supper

The Princess

Photos Of The PRINCESS and as you can see every Princess needs a pair of sun glasses a sash and more importantly A CROWN

FYI: The crown and Sash are both mine from when I won Tiny Miss Piedmont back in 1996(a local pageant at the high school i currently attend) I think I there was a reason that poor crown has made it through 13 years of torture!

Gotcha Day November 10th One year

Click here for the long over due post about Lily's one year gotcha day sorry I have been so slack. Lily's has forever been ours for one year on November 10th 2009 its seems like just a few days ago we were in China getting this precious child that I love. I have enjoyed every minute of being her big sister HAPPY LATE GOTCHA DAY LILY!!

A Year Ago Today!

One Year to the date we were a a plane to China to pick up our Angel and bring her home. We were headed to a foreign country we knew little about to adopt the little girl who has forever blessed our lives were so glad that Lily's journey home was almost complete. We arrived in Beijing tired and sleeped deprived happy just to be in the country were Lily was. But because of this trip I now have a little Princess who I love dearly.

Pom Poms

Most little kids snuggle with a teddy bear or blanket NOT Lily she snuggles with her pom poms.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween everyone. This year to no ones surprise Lily was a cheerleader. She wore my cheer outfit from when a did rec league cheerleading. She was too cute! We stopped by a few of our close friends houses for Lily to trick or treat at. Our first stop was the Knight's house they have a little girl Mia who was adopted from China too. Lily had fun taking candy from the basket and putting it into her pumpkin.

Future Cheerleader/model

Lily loves to say Go Panthers which is our high school mascot. So today I got the idea to dress her up in an old Cheerleading uniform that I wore back when I did rec league cheerleading in Kindergarden and 1st grade. Lily had a blast as you can tell from the pictures she had fun shaking the pom poms and modeling for me in some of the pictures.

Go Panthers!

Stunt Time

My favorite picture Miss. Lily is running to do her tumbling.

A year Ago Today!

One year ago today we read on rumor queen that referrals were arriving in Europe and we had made the cut off. Our little princesses pictures and information were on there way to the states and we would know who she was very soon. Little did we know that a year later how changed are lives would be with her finally home after 3 years of waiting to read that for so long.

Relaxing in Sissy's bed!

Lily enjoyed relaxing in my bed today and pretending to text someone on my phone. She never ceases to make me laugh each and everyday. pictures from my chinese camp will be posted soon i promise i have so many it hard to pick which ones to put on here. Please be in pray as me and Madison travel to Wake Forest for cheerleading camp tomorrow and no one gets injured this year. Be back Monday

Purse snd Shoes

I haven't been around this week to take pictures so I am guessing that Lily was digging in Madison's purse, Madison caught her she acted like she hadn't done anything wrong, but Madison took the purse, she cried then decided the shoes were better anywhy who needs a purse when you have a nice pair of shoes.

Hmm... What is in here

Oh no I've been caught act cute

NO! Don't take it from me

Oh well i guess these shoes are ok

4th of July weekend

This weekend we to Georgia on Friday to visit some of our friends in the Llama community. Ken and Kathy have a July 4th BBQ every year for their close friends and family. This year was special because it was Lily's first, and of course she was the center of attention that everyone had to hug and kiss. But Lily was interested in kissing one thing, the head of a bald eagle on the Colonel Richard's cane. Lily called it a "chicken", so everyone else started calling it "the chicken".

Sand and Pool #2

Today I had Hannah over who is a good friend of mine. Her and Lily played in the sand together while I took some pictures. Lily enjoyed the cool dip in the pool after playing in the sand. Enjoy the photos from today.

Sand and Pool

Lily had her first playtime in the sand today and loved it. She liked the idea of getting dirty and sitting in the sand playing. She didn't even really seen to mind having to be hosed off before getting in the pool to go swimming. She had a blast and we can't wait until sand time tomorrow.

Hmmmm... where to sit

Hey there is no sand in this bucket

Yay i have a castle

I didn't mean to mess it up I promise.

Where's my sand?

Yay a new castle.

Cleaned up and ready to swim.

This feels good after being in the hot sun.

Look at that Smile.
