HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY LILLY!!!!!

You are the bomb, Lilly! We love you so much, there aren't words to describe it!

And then there was sound...

So Lilly had her ear surgery today! She had her ears super duper cleaned out, and tubes placed. She got the upgraded, heavy duty, military issued type of tubes, so they should last her hopefully 2 years, instead of the standard 6 months - 1 year. She apparantly had some bad infections going on - who would of known, the kid never complained, she just flunked her hearing tests and had some gunk every once in a while.

Anyway, we left the house at 5 am today, and were back by 9am! (That's including a 50 minute drive to the hospital). It was in and out. She did great, didn't ever cry, even when the anesthesia people took her away. By late morning she was playing and hopping around the house like nothing ever happened!

So good news, is hopefully our kid can hear again!! Exciting to see how it goes now.

She's Mobile

I'm not sure what you call this, but Lilly is mobile now. Check it out.

Great News

So we finally sold Bel Gel!! (That's Belmont to everyone else).

I've been trying to sell him for 7 months. I've had him since he was 3 months old and now he's 5 years old, but it was time. He didn't want to be a dressage horse, he'd much rather just look pretty and jump over pretty fences. And we all know you can't make someone do what they don't want to do (whether it's people or horses), so this is awesome. He's got a great new trainer that rides him SO well, and he has his new owner wrapped around his pinky finger (that is, if he had a pinky finger).

Then...





And now...

First Zoo Trip

So last Friday we took our very first trip to the zoo with Lilly! We went along with her cousins, Isabel and Olivia. Lilly was awesome, and seemed to really enjoy herself.


This is our attempt at getting a photo op with the tiger statue...





Lilly loves her Daddy!!





Her absolute favorite was watching the penguins swim!! She could of sat there for hours and watched them go back and forth!





Isabel kissing the dinosaur.





Way cool giraffe! (Yeah I know Daddy looks funny in this one :) )








What a turkey??

Blog Delinquents

Yes, so we are officially blog delinquents. The summer has been flying by. We spend our days (when not working or at school) playing and going to the pool! So really nothing much is new.
