lilly's vocab and 'phrases' are exploding at the moment... thought id share just a few off the top of my head :)
my = mine (this is said very often... my juice, my baby, my socks... said happily or angrily, or during a battle of 'who does this belong to' with the 2 other 2 year olds in the house)
way wake! = wake up (this is screamed as loud as her little lungs allow)
key up = clean up (glad this is in the vocab at all!)
daddy = daddy (this is said before and after many other words)
mama = mommy (this is also said before and after many other words)
puh puh daddy = pick me up daddy (she used to say 'bup' for up, but that recently changed when she figured out how to make phrases)
i keem = ice cream (this is also screamed at the top of her toddler lungs, as "i scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM" is a line in one of her favorite songs)
scuse = excuse me (this is after burping or tooting...)
scuse daddy = excuse you daddy (see above)
que me = excuse me (as in, get out of my way)
que mama = excuse me mommy (as in, get of of my way mom)
tay too = thank you
burgher = burger (favorite out to eat food of the moment)
cool = cool (this is hilarious... our 2 year old's choice adjective, and she knows how to use it!)
guhn = good
kees = kiss
catch = catch, i caught you/it, i'm gonna catch you (one word, 3 uses... good idea)
and our favorite thus far... a very nice little sentence that our precious adorable little baby girl put together all by herself...
"boogey out, daddy look!"
no explanation necessary :)

a new page
something quick... heres a new LO... totally inspired by one of missy's (not my sister missy)LOs, look here. she is truly awesome... amazing how my LO looks nothing like her LO. ah well, its another page done, and i tried...
this was done for 'the dares' challenge... 'cycles' over at 2peas. i thought of our nightly routine, and how lilly has a few things that used to be mine... 2 cycles in one.

a loooong weekend...
we took at little trip home this weekend...
had many nice vists with friends a family...
that makes for one very tired mommy.
we enjoy our vists, but it makes me sad we dont get to see eveyone more often. i hope to post pictures from our visits soon :)
but for now, a picture from friday.
surprisingly, i got this adorable picture... not long after almost pulling my hair out.
(i like to bake with the kids, and they love it :) well, before i could get this too too cute picture here is what we went through...)
-2 eggs broken on the floor (1 by me, 1 by lilly)
-lilly chugging cinnamon (ooh lilly) followed by some gags and lilly saying 'ucky' and 'messy' (well, yeah...)
-one head hit on the corner of the counter (it was the little guy i watch... hes right at counter height...) he was so sad...sobbing. while he is crying... i give him a big hug and say...
"are you ready to make cookies now?"
he says "nooooo..."
i ask "why not?"
he says "im still cryin'".... (oh i LOVE these kids!!) sooo fun :)
-oh and lastly (i think) lilly unscrews the lid off my 3/4 full water bottle and dumps it all over the counter, trickling down the barstool all over her lap and the floor. but she did enjoy cleaning it up.
and the cutest picture of them admiring their work(you'd never know the drama that got us here...)
i seriously love these little people :)
a happy week to all...

tip of the day #1
if your debit card (or credit card for that matter) wont be accepted while trying to pay for gas or ski rentals... don't just assume that your magnetic strip is going bad, and that you should order a new card in the near future. no, call your bank ASAP... why? well, because...
*someone in turkey may have stolen your card number.
*someone in turkey may be making 3 huge (= $2,000+) debits from your checking account.
*someone in turkey may have a few flat sceen TV's on you.
and you will be waiting a few annoying weeks to pay your bills.

sometimes you have to be selfish and profess the things that make YOU happy...
-hearing 'why mama' (even if i do here it ten billion times each day)
-a huge bag of peanut M&Ms (M's as lilly calls them) from Sam's
-1000 free business cards from the new Office Max
-scrapbooking and creating(even though im not the greatest... it is my passion)
-the fact that my baby girl loves pictures just about as much as i do and loves looking at albums over and over and over... we rediscovered this picture (the 1st one ever taken of dave and i... just look at us!!)
-opening Mandarin Pixie and receiving real orders!! (and most importantly all the encouraging words from family and friends)
-seeing lilly run to her daddy when he comes home from work
-talking to my sister via the OmniMedia phone line...hehhe, and the broken cell phone
-having a small number of really good friends
-keeping in touch with special friends from high school
-getting stuff for free at the gocery store because it's on sale for 99 cents and i have a 50 cent coupon that gets doubled
-lilly dancing in the car to "my humps" (that's my girl!!)
-dave still calling me 'sweetie girl' even after 10 years
-good TV shows
-gift cards to eat out
-a great group of online scrapping friends!!
-my 2 other kiddos (and their families for entrusting them to me)
-anything on clearance
-the fact that i like such a huge variety of music
-my husband, my daughter, my parents, my sister, my grandma, and some very wonderful aunts... who are some of my best friends
of course there are more. i really do have a lot to be happy about. i just need to remind myself on a daily basis. that is the kind of person i am. anywho... i need to do this more often :)
