Labor Day Weekend!

We had a very busy and fun-filled Labor Day weekend! Amy and Jason came to visit us from Ohio! The weather was gorgeous, and we went to the Deanna Rose Farmstead to see the beautiful gardens, pet some farm animals, and play all day! The kids had a blast. Lexi rode in our car and the two girls had so much fun singing and playing in the backseat all the way there. (I have some video of this I will post later). Lily even had her first very own Popsicle! This was quite an experience...she grabbed ahold of it not by the stick, but by the middle of the popsicle! she would not stop licking it, and she had a little trouble sharing with mommy and daddy. needless to say, it melted quicker than she could eat it and she had red sticky juice all over her shirt, skirt, shoes, hands, legs, arms, and pretty much everywhere...even all over daddy. she had a great time, and attracted many giggles and stares from the crowd.
Lily just loves her cousins! she squeals with delight whenever they come running through the door and can't wait to hug them all. Austin always greets her with a big "Hi Lily!" and picks her up and hugs her. It is so precious to watch them together. She now can say all their names and points to them in pictures. The other day she was walking all around saying Lexi, Lexi, Lexi. actually it sounds like Yexi when she says it. Her favorite thing to do with them is dance to praise and worship music. She tells me na na na na na and rocks back and forth, then says dance and runs to the cd player. I missed getting some video, but you can check out tara's blog, b/c I am pretty sure she got some. It is soooo cute! I am so happy that we live near her cousins, it is pretty special. not to mention she has aunts and uncles and grandparents that love her so much. well, I better go, but check back for some new videos....
