Weekend Fun

Lucy and I had tons of fun last weekend!  On Saturday she finally got to meet her newest cousin...sweet baby Paisley!  She wasn't so sure at first:

But she and Alli played and colored together and had a great time:

Soon it was time to revisit that whole "new cousin" thing...

They had a nice day and can't wait to hang out again soon!

Though Lala was not on her very best behavior at the last play date, her friends forgave her and the twins invited everyone over to play.  Stacy came this time and took lots of cute pics of our kids!  Below you will see a mix of pics - some taken by me and some by Stacy...we'll start with some cute shots of my girl (these are primarily from Stacy's portfolio):

Totally cheesing for Stacy's camera!



Playing peek-a-boo with Stace!

 

I took this one and it cracks me up because at the angle I took it,
it looks like one of her pigtails is missing!



Acting like a doggy...



Remember this? 

November 2011

Dave requested an updated shot and asked that the kiddos be in the same order:



September 2012

Someone started to lose interest...haha...

Looks like EJ is sucked into the TV but Lulu and Lala are wondering where CB's headed...

Lucy and EJ (their feet, anyway) during lunch time:

Don't worry, Karli was there, too!



This baby is soooo good (and sooo cute!) - she loves tummy time and is
totally content to roll around and make noises for herself!

 Lucy had fun playing with Lauren and EJ while I played with my friend Claire Bear!

Later when we were looking at pictures,
I asked Lucy who was in this one and she said,
"Mama!  Bear bear!"



Stacy is funny!



Modeling for my camera!

Digging in!

Yep, they made a mess at "Titty's" house, too!
(Yep, that's how Lucy pronounces "Tiffany")

We had one more adventure in store for us over the weekend...at my family reunion.
Lucy spent a lot of time, as always when they're around one another, with Cleo...Cleo is soooo good with Lucy (and so good to her!)...she plays with her and watches over her and Lucy loves her!!  Lucy, my little independent gal, who refuses to hold my hand when we're walking (running) across the street to the park and often tries to run faster to put some distance between us, never seems to want to escape from her friend Cleo...they played together on the playground:

Lucy would not crawl through here, even after watching Cleo do so...

She loves playing in mulch but there was some in there and she just kept pointing at it

and saying/signing "dirty" - such a priss!

Don't get me wrong, though...the girl still loves showcasing her independence:

She had fun playing with other friends, too...

Like her GranJan...



And my dad...pawpaw




And Sam...though she pronounces it Ma - backwards and with a silent "s," I guess...

Lucy is getting really good about repeating names - there was a time where there were several names she would not even attempt (and would instead giggle when you asked her to say one of them).  Many of the names she says sound the same but she'll get there...in the meantime, there is only one name that she will not attempt: LUCY!

When she sees pictures of herself, instead she just says, "baby."
