Memorial Day Touring

We went with our friends and toured some military history (Thanks Jenni). It was a great reminder of the sacrifices that have been made for the wonderful freedoms we enjoy!

Saving a Marriage...

Way Before it Goes Sour.

It surprises me how often I hear of people getting divorces and how sad it seems to be that they feel like they just don't have anything in common anymore. I am so glad that Tyler and I have decided to stay as far away from that as possible. This is why we have Date Night. No Lily, just us. It always ends up nicer than we expect. For our last date night we went to the Magic of Polynesia show. Here is a picture at the surf museum we looked at while we waited.

Aunt Cindy and Crazy Uncle Kyle

After a few days Lily quit screaming every time uncle Kyle looked at her and just smiled or laughed instead. We had fun exploring the island and just doing nothing. I love vacations at home.

Check out what Kyle and Cindy had to say and see on their blog at:

Lily of the Day - Month 11

I'm so excited for Lily's first birthday in a month that I almost forgot about all of the fun stuff she has done this month. Lily is walking exclusively now. She likes to climb on stuff, but only if she knows it won't hurt her (like the beds, couch, and cuddle bag). She communicates very well with her half words and signs. She is very patient and only cries until she knows you understand the problem. Lily likes music and dancing. She will jump and wiggle when she dances. Peak-A-Boo and her baby doll are her favorite games. She likes to swim and go to the beach. She will last longer in the water than I do even when she is shivering. She is asking me now to please watch baby movies on the computer so I guess that's it.
