The Day's

Blows my Mind....

2009-01-19T02:41:00.000-08:00

Lilli is a very good sleeper. Every night she sleeps anywhere from 12-14 hours. If not, there is something wrong. Last week she was diagnosed with her first ear infection and upper respitory infection so we have been nursing her back to health. This morning as Daniel was in a mad dash out the door he woke me and said, Lilli was awake and crying. So I go ahead and get the antibotic, some honey (for her cough) and some more milk. To my surprise as I opened her bedroom door she was standing there!!!! She had gotten out of her crib and was standing at the door crying. I have no idea how she got out?! The only thing in her crib is her matress and blanket. I took the bumper out several months ago when she was trying to use it to crawl out then. The mattress is on the middle height and I guess we are gonna have to go to the bottom. I'm waiting up to see if she tries to escape again.

Such a Sweet Smile

Happy Birthday Lilli!

2008-12-09T19:01:00.001-08:00

A long awaited post, Lilli's birthday was great. The food was great, I won't post pictures because you will all get very hungry. We had Norma's chicken Salad, Hub Stacey's Hummus, Chocolate dipped fruit made by Aunt Jennifer, Black bean rolls- From the Junior League Recipe, Cake and Cookies from Kimi Gillis (if you want a very good cake at an even better price, email me, I'll get you her number). Lilli really enjoyed the cake as you can see :) I didn't take my camera because I was too busy, So I'm uploading pictures as Jennifer emails them to me. So stay tuned, more to come!

Thankful

2008-12-01T20:45:00.000-08:00

Before it gets any later into December I need to publish my What I'm THANKFUL for post:
1. My sweet husband, Daniel. This man loves me no matter what and is working so hard especially this time of year. Honey, I really love and appreciate everything you do. I thank God that He brought you into my life and we are going to spend the rest of forever together.
2. Lilli-Baby. How could I have gotten a better baby? Lilli has the best personality! So happy all the time. She has taught me so much about myself and helped me realize the potential that I have as a mother. I couldn't be more proud to show her off or just spend an afternoon reading books. She has taught me to enjoy the moment, taste the dirt, share, and laugh about everything.
3. My Parents- I really appreciate how they try every way possible to accomidate me. I love that we take care of each other and I feel like I can talk to them about anything.
4. Tony & Jennifer- We spend every weekend together and Jennifer and I have become so close- she understands me. Our babies play well together and so do our husbands :)
5. Alltel- Eventhough most days you can find me complaining about my job, Atleast I have one. And its a good one at that!

Stay tuned for some pictures from Thanksgivingand Lilli's birthday pictures.

I just couldn't wait!!!

2008-11-15T19:57:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I should have waited but I was so excited. I am in love with Lilli's outfit. We went and got it this week from Ty & Kc's and it is just the cutest thing ever. Lilli knows that she is cute in it too. She doesn't want to take it off. Before I went to work thismorning, we met Renee at Celebrations' Christmas house and took some pictures for our Christmas Card. Celebrations is absolutely beautiful! It is a definate must see during the holiday season!

You're Invited!

2008-10-31T20:21:00.000-07:00

Lilli was a cute little monkey for halloween. These are just a few of the pictures that Lynda took. There are more to come as soon as I can upload my pictures. We went up to mom and dad's church carnival for Halloween and we had a very good time. I was able to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in ages. Lilli loved looking at all the children in costumes. We had shish-ka-bobs that were great!

A Rare Family Picture

2008-10-22T09:20:00.000-07:00

We went to Dinner with my family this past weekend. Renee was sweet enough to take our picture- so here is our little family. Hope y'all are all doing well.

Wellness Check Up.

2008-10-02T21:29:00.001-07:00

This picture was in July at Lilli's friend, Kinsley's first birthday party. I just came across it and decided it was blog worthy. Lilli looks a little stunned but Grammy is beaming while she shows off one of her grandbabies. I love it!

On Tuesday, we went to see Dr. White for Lilli's 9 month wellness check up- (She is 10 months now, we got a little behind). She is doing great! She is now 30 in long and 23 lbs! She is in the 90th percentile for both height and weight. The Dr. says that she is proportionate and looks very good. He told us to get rid of the bottle, which we have been trying to do for a few weeks now. That isn't going to be easy.

I wanted to upload some pictures that I took today but I found that my card reader has melted. Strange, I know. I'm guessing it got too hot being plugged in at some point. (I've only used the thing once and if I can find my recipt I'll be getting another one). So another day- another entry. I have to go get the laundry and go to bed. I have to be at work early in the morning. I'm looking forward to the day that I'm just wealthy and don't have to work for the man :)

More Cook Images

2008-09-30T17:59:00.000-07:00

We went to see Hara & Jeremy Cook again today. It was another great photo session. They are always so easy to work with. These are the photos from my sneak peak.

Reasons Why I Love Living in Milton...

2008-09-15T20:41:00.000-07:00

With gas prices soaring, I've decided to enjoy the city we live in rather than driving to Pensacola for entertainment. Here are just a few reasons why I love Milton.

1. The River Walk- Where else can one go and have a stroll down the beautiful Blackwater River, stop and remember the sacrifice our military pays at the Memorial, and enjoy live music on the 3rd Saturday of every month during the summer? The one and only River Walk.
2. The Liberty Cafe- AMAZING diner, the food is wonderful, the atmosphere is great and the prices can't be beat. They have a daily special for $5.95 you can have a sandwich, potato salad, and a drink - Add a piece of homeade apple pie with ice cream for just $2.95
3. Polkadots- This one of a kind toy store is a great find and I'm sure you will see it on the Travel channel at some point. It is a high end store that specializes in unique toys that can't be found at Wal-Mart or Target. Every Thursday they have story time for all of the kiddos. Something special about them... Fudge. They make fudge everyday in the store and the aroma makes it hard to resist. They are also available for birthday parties. Now, what child wouldn't want to have a party in that kind of atmosphere? When Lilli gets a little older we'll be having her party there.
4. Manning's Feed N Seed/Meat Processing. - This year we have really been trying to eat better, natural foods. We now buy a quarter of a cow and have it butchered and then eat on it for several months. This way you pay $2.60 per lb and get all the tbone, porterhouse, roasts and ground beef you can handle. Also you get to skip all of the growth hormones and preservatives that are added to the beef sold in grocery stores. Also- this business has been in Milton for a very long time, passed from one generation to another and they are all just as sweet as can be. If you need anything camo- go into the feed n seed.
5. The RiverWalk Market- This is another one about eating healthy. A lot of local farmers sell fresh produce here. They are open 3 days per week and have great prices. I like supporting local farmers and it is nice to talk to the people that actually grow your dinner. If you have any questions about the best way to cook something or what type of organic pesticide to use- you have the opportunity to talk to experts.
6. The Milton Bike Trail- Over 7 paved miles only for those on bikes that want to get exercise and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. There is so much wildlife that one is able to enjoy.
7. Fine Things- This store is great. So much variety and friendly faces and free gift wrapping. I just love going in there!

Those are my top reasons why I love Milton... I'll post more as I think of them. I think that it is important to support our local businesses. Shop Milton, Dine Milton, Enjoy Milton.

Lilli & Nick's First Trip to the Park

2008-09-15T20:27:00.000-07:00

Saturday we went to Carpenters Park for the first time. Lilli and Nick loved the swings, slide, and feeding the ducks. It is unbelievable how much the park has changed since I was little. It was also a very surreal feeling, thinking about how I played at that park when I was little and now my baby can play there. Also, Nick now wears his bib like a superman cape :) and Lilli took her bow out of her hair just before we made it to the park. Our babies have minds of their own.

New Camera~

2008-09-15T20:22:00.000-07:00

So Daniel bought me a new camera and a new lens and these are pictures from the day we got it.... I love my new toy!

Cook Images

2008-09-15T20:16:00.000-07:00

Last Month, my good Friend Hara Cook (of Cook Images) took some pictures of Lilli. Here is just a very small sample of the great shots she got. I have yet to order my pictures because there were 60 images and I want atleast 20 of them to hang on my wall. The very top picture is my absolute favorite and I'll be ordering a huge picture to hang on my dining room wall. I'll post pictures when I get them hung.

Pictures by Amy Day #2

2008-08-02T21:17:00.001-07:00

Well, there are a lot of you that don't know, When I married Daniel, I became Amy Day #3. That's right, there isn't just one or two Amy Day's there are three of us. Daniel's cousins, Shawn and Josh both married Amy's and they are both great. We spent the day together and it was confusing everytime someone said, "Hey- Amy." This is the first time we have all been together at the same time and I really enjoyed getting to know both of these ladies. Well Anyway, Amy #2 is the one with the really nice camera and she took these pictures of the kids today. She is super talented and I wish her the best in her own photography business one day.

I'd also like to let you know that I made Lilli's outfit. When I was still pregnant I made 3 or 4 of these little dresses and had them monogrammed and I can't believe she is already big enough to wear them! They are size 12 month! Last weekend, Jennifer and I left the babies with the guys because I had to go get Lil some bigger clothes! She has grown out of all of her 9 month clothes and everything she had that is 12 months was all winter weather items.

An Attempt to Get Better

2008-08-02T20:59:00.000-07:00

Well it has been brought to my attention that I am horrible about updating my blog. So this is my try at getting better. Jennifer, Nick, Lilli and I are in Hudson for a baby shower. Daniel's cousins, Chad and Jessica are expecting their first baby boy, Mason at the begining of October. Here are a few pictures from the shower today. Josh and Amy Day (Daniel's other cousins) have an amazing camera and took these great pictures of Nick & Lilli. I rarely get jealous of another camera but I was just in awe of the images they got. Daniel- I want another camera- HINT, HINT! There are more pictures to come. After the shower we took Nick and Lil outside and Amy took some more pictures.

Dixie Stampede

2008-06-11T20:58:00.000-07:00

Tonight we went to the Dixie Stampede~ It was great! Lilli really enjoyed watching all the horses, ostriches, pigs, and cows. She ate all of my soup and we really enjoyed eating the chicken, pork, corn, and potatoes with our hands. If you have never gone to the Stampede- you need to make time to go. It is a great American show.

Well aparently I'm having technical difficulties- none of my pictures are uploading. I'll publish more later.

Look at our Cabin PET!!!

2008-06-11T20:37:00.001-07:00

We have been having a slight garbage problem since we've been here, Daniel was convinced there was a bear that was coming to eat our garbage. He was wrong. Tonight we were in the Living Room when heard something outside... there was a RACOON eating our garbage! He wasn't shy at all! I was able to take at least 10 pictures.

We are in TN!!!

2008-06-09T21:55:00.001-07:00

Hello All~ Greetings from the Mountains! We are staying in Pigeon Forge this week and having a great vacation. Here are a few pictures from yesterday, we went to Cades Cove where we saw some deer and a bear! Then had dinner at Corky's BBQ. YUM-O! Lots more pictures to come- I just wanted to post some pictures for the grandparents.

Recap from Jennifer's Wedding Shower

2008-05-20T20:34:00.001-07:00

This post is super delayed!!! Last month we (me and the other bridesmaids) gave Jennifer one of the best showers I've ever attended. It was beautiful and went off without a hitch. Jennifer has a ton of people that love her and she got a lot of really nice gifts. The flowers were breath-taking and Lilli was pretty cute too :) We Love You, JENN BROWN!

Good Luck Jennifer and Greg

2008-05-20T20:28:00.001-07:00

This weekend Jennifer Risen (my best friend from High school) and her sweetie Greg Brown are finally getting married. It is about time!!! They have been together since we were freshmen in High school! This is a picture from the wedding shower we gave them last month. Daniel and I wish you the best for a long and happy marriage. Lilli says she wants y'all to work on having some babies for her to play with :)

Lilli Update

2008-05-20T20:08:00.000-07:00

Since Jennifer updated about Nick, I figured someone might be wandering on our blog looking for some recent pictures of Lilli. Well Lots has happened with Lilli lately, although she is not crawling, she is very mobile. She Rolls and Shimmies all over the house. Daniel put her down in the living room while he went to check the mail, he came back to find her all the way at the end of the hallway near her bedroom. She has also started to eat baby food. Posted are some pictures of her eating her first vegetable, Squash. You can tell by her expression what she thought of that. There was a lot of spitting involved and we were both covered in it by the time it was over. Since the first time she has started to enjoy her veggi's, she has had squash, green beans, and tomorrow she will start carrots. The last picture is of Lil and Nick on Mother's day- look how Lilli is holding Nick's arm... it is so cute!

Extraordinary Women

2008-04-27T10:08:00.001-07:00

On Saturday, Jennifer and I went to the Extradordinary Women's conference at Olive Baptist and it was wonderful. If you have the chance to go to one of these conferences it is well worth it. You will be so blessed, They already have next years Pensacola conference planned it will be April 24th and 25th at the Civic Center and I will definatly be there.

Sir Elton John

2008-04-27T09:48:00.000-07:00

Tony, Jennifer, Daniel and I went to the Elton John concert this past Friday night, we had a great time! We were on the second row and got to stand at the stage and enjoy most of the concert. Elton John does an amazing performance. I forgot to bring my camera so a woman that met there took pictures and then emailed them to me. That was so sweet! It was a night to be remembered.

Savannah, GA

2008-04-15T13:16:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone~

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I haven't made the time to update. Last weekend we went to Savannah to welcome home Jonathan back into the country. Unfortunatly, I don't have any pictures of that but I did take pictures of a tour of Savannah. Hope y'all enjoy- I'll be going back and posting pictures from Easter soon.

Lilli loves Kramer

2008-02-28T09:18:00.000-08:00

Lilli has started to watch Seinfield and seems to be intrigued by Kramer... She wouldn't stop watching TV at Uncle Tony's house!

Spaghetti for Dinner

2008-02-28T08:50:00.001-08:00

Well, I had spaghetti one night last week and then Daniel took some pictures of me and Lilli, little did I know that there was sauce all over my chin. Oh Well! Lilli is still cute!

Nick Day

2008-02-28T08:39:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago, we went to Tony & Jennifer's house to take pictures of Nick. He is so cute and sweet and from what I heard he slept through the night last night!!! Good job, Little Nicholas!

Grandma Day

2008-02-10T12:24:00.001-08:00

Last night we took the first picture of the kids with their Grandma. Lilli is now 10 weeks old and Nicholas is 3 weeks old. Something really funny was happening while we were trying to take this picture.... both of the babies were going "potty" on Grandma!!! It was hilarious!

Happy Birthday, Daniel!!!

2008-02-10T12:18:00.001-08:00

Today is Daniel's 25th Birthday. Last night we had Lynda, Tony, Jennifer, and Nick over for dinner. We had a great time. Lilli's picture was on the cake that said "Happy Birthday, Daddy" As you can see in the picture, she thought that was pretty funny. She also decided that she wanted some cake too and stuck her hand in the icing. Today, we are just hanging out around the house and relaxing.

PICTURES!

2008-02-08T19:41:00.001-08:00

Lilli had a picture appointment today with her Aunt Renee & Mr. DJ at Artisan Gallery. She wasn't her normal happy self and this was the only shot she smiled for... but isn't it gorgeous!!! Thank you Renee and DJ for doing this for us. Y'all are the best!

Back to Work

2008-01-28T21:48:00.000-08:00

So I went back to work this past Wednesday. It was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. When I dropped Lilli off with our neighbor (who is keeping Lil while we work- she's the best, thanks Nana), I cried so hard and had to run out of the house. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I cried the entire way to work but as I got into the store and I got to see all the guys and hear how much I was missed I felt better. Daniel sent me Lillies (my favorite), it was the most romantic and thoughtful gesture ever. I cried yet again. The card was super sweet and I'm going to keep it forever. After I got over the inital emotions I felt better and it was easier to work for the rest of the week.

Today we went to Lilli's 8 week check up. She is in the 25th percentile for her weight, 10.7 and in the 55th percentile for her height 23.5 in. The Dr. was very happy with her growth and said she is developing perfectly and if she continues to grow at this rate she is going to be tall and thin. We had to get her shots- which was harder on me than it was on her. Daniel had to hold her down and I just sat in the corner and cried- in fact, I cried longer than she did. She is now sleeping peacefully after some Tylenol and good TLC.

Bath Time

2008-01-24T06:33:00.000-08:00

Here is a picture of Lilli the other night after she had her bath. Isn't that a sweet face!!! More pictures and an update on me going back to work to come!

The Many Faces of Lilli!

2008-01-20T11:11:00.000-08:00

I may be a bit biased, but isn't this the sweetest face you have ever seen?!

Welcome Little Nicholas!!!

2008-01-18T09:54:00.000-08:00

After 41 weeks of pregnancy and 2 days of labor Nicholas Anthony Day is finally here!!! He is 7 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long! He has big hands and the most gorgeous skin. We were all so excited to go meet him last night. Lilli slept on the bed with her Aunt Jenn (notice the pain pump in the background) while I was seeing my newest nephew! He is so sweet and has the cutest little cry. Congratulations Tony and Jennifer!!!

Theresa's Family Pictures

2008-01-14T23:05:00.001-08:00

Saturday Afternoon we went to the beach to take pictures of Theresa's family (Sandra's sister). The weather was absolutely beautiful!!! Despite the cold weather, Dylan still waded in the water. Daniel carried Lil around in the chest carrier and she slept the whole time. We left the beach, went by Al and Betty's and then off to Tony & Jennifer's house for dinner and Margarita's! It was a good day, I got great pictures and got to hang out with Family. It was probably the last time we will have dinner with Tony & Jenn before little Nicholas arrives. His due date was this past Sunday... we are just waiting on him to hurry up and come on out!!!

Lilli loves her Daddy!!!

2008-01-14T22:35:00.001-08:00

There is a special bond between a little girl and her Daddy. Lilli and Daniel have that bond. It is so cute to see those two together. Here are a few shots of Lilli and Daniel in the back yard Sunday afternoon.

On a side note, I know I am way behind on blogging!!! I'm taking lots of pictures but not finding the time to put them online. I'm going to try to take care of that this week. So be looking forward to a lot of posts and pictures. Hope you are all doing well!

Merry Christmas- Here is a Huge Update!

2007-12-27T21:48:00.001-08:00

We had a wonderful holiday; Christmas morning My parents, MeMaw, Sandra and Dylan joined us at our house for gift giving and seafood gumbo and that afternoon Daniel's parents, Tony and Jennifer all came over. It was nice not to have to run around on the holiday... we had a nice relaxing day at home. We all got plenty of gifts, Lilli's big gift was an ipod to go with her icrib and several other toys, I got a new digital camera and new diamond earrings, and Daniel got a wardrobe full of new Guy Harvey shirts, a gun cabinet, and the Simpson's movie (his favorite gift). Lilli slept all day long... she always does that when we have company. I also posted pictures from earlier in the month. She smiles and is starting to laugh a lot, she is intrigued by ceiling fans and really concentrates when you talk to her. Its hard to believe she is already a month old. Where has the time gone?!

Lilli's Smile

2007-12-06T20:45:00.001-08:00

Hello All,

I just wanted to share this perfect picture of my sweet baby girl... look at that sweet smile. She is such a wonderful baby and we've been so blessed with her. Now I'm off to try to get a little nap before she wakes up again to eat.

Amy

Some Pictures of Lilli

2007-12-03T18:45:00.000-08:00

Hello All,
I was not prepared for the lack of sleep, lack of personal time, and exhaustion I would be enduring when we brought Lilli home. The past few days have definatly been an adjustment but we are getting into the groove of things. Lilli gave us a good night last night, she ate every 2 hours and then slept for 5 hrs straight this morning. 5 hrs of sleep felt like a gift!!! These are some of the pictures we took while in the hospital- (she slept so good there, go figure!!!) I wanted everyone to see the last picture so you can see all of her hair!!! She is a sweet baby and I love her so much! I must go, sorry if it is hard to contact us. We turned our house phone off so we could rest- too many solicitors were calling. So call our cell phones or send emails and we'll get back with you as soon as we have a free moment.

Lillian DaLin Day is Here!!!

2007-12-01T18:28:00.000-08:00

Lilli made her debut on November 29 at 8:01 AM. She weighed 8 lbs 7oz and is 20 inches long. She has a head full of dark hair, dimples like her dad, and big hands and feet. We came home from the hospital today and have just been resting since we've made it home. I have to go feed the baby so more details and pictures to come. Thank you for all of the prayers.

Tomorrow is Lilli's Big Day!

2007-11-28T13:50:00.000-08:00

Tonight is our last night as a couple, tomorrow morning Lilli will be born and then we are a family. I have so many emotions right now and its been a very strange day- I'm exhausted but there is still so much to do. As I type Daniel is finishing Lilli's baseboards, I have a turkey in the oven for dinner, I'm about to clean the kitchen and Sandra and Dylan are coming over tonight to help decorate for Christmas. We should be home from the hospital this weekend and I'll post pictures then. Keep us in your prayers.

Jennifer's Baby Shower

2007-11-04T21:37:00.000-08:00

This weekend I had the pleasure of helping give my sister-in-law, Jennifer a baby shower. I mainly just brought the cakes and Jennifer's Best friend, Danielle and her Mother, Cheryl did the rest. They did a great job and as you can tell by the first picture we had a great time!!! Look at Jennifer's Mother laughing in the first picture! The food was fabulous and for those of you that would like to see the difference in what 7 months pregnant and 9 months pregnant are... just look at the picture with me, Jennifer, Danielle, and Cheryl. These days I look like I'm about to pop at any given minute :) Its ok... Lilli will be here soon!

Lilli's Latest Ultrasound

2007-10-09T16:16:00.000-07:00

Our Dr. ordered another ultrasound because Lilli and I are measuring larger than normal. Today we went to the Imaging Center and found out she is much bigger than what we were expecting!!! According to the Ultrasound I am 35 weeks and 6 days, Lilli weighs 5 lbs 13 oz, her foot is 7.3 cm long, and I'll probably have her mid-November. There has been some confusion with when this baby is coming, I was first given a due date of November 27th, then they changed it to December 10th. The Dr. goes by the 12/10 date- which would make me 31 weeks and Lilli would only weigh a little over 4 lbs, at 33 weeks (the 11/27 date) She should weigh 4 lbs 12 oz... but Lilli is bigger than both of those!!! She is in the 95th percentile for her size and weight and the poor little baby doesn't have any room inside me! She's all scrunched up! She has hair and chubby little cheeks. The pictures don't do justice for everything we got to see today. I can't wait to hold my little girl! Apparently I'll get my wish sooner than I was expecting.

Our First Baby Shower

2007-09-23T20:40:00.000-07:00

On the 15th, Jennifer & Sandra gave me the most beautiful baby shower. I have been putting this post off because I didn't take any pictures with my camera and I'm waiting to see some images that they took but... its been long enough! I decided just to go ahead and take some pictures of some of the gifts that we got so you could see. The first picture is the travel swing we've been wanting, complements of Aunt Sandra and Uncle Jonathan, The next picture is some of the other stuff that we got that is now sitting on Lilli's changing table- boppy pillows, books, blankets, towels, wipes, bottles, a diaper cake, etc. The last picture is of Lilli's closet (its a little messy, but what did you expect from me?) The child has some clothes doesn't she?! About 1/3 of her wardrobe came from the shower but the rest is all stuff her Daddy and I have bought! We love shopping for her! (We've bought so many clothes, Daniel won't allow me to buy anything else for her until she gets here- he wants us to start stocking up on diapers and practical things... ugh) Some of the things that aren't pictured are the Travel System from Grandma Day (Lynda), the Pack N' Play from Grammy & Paw Paw (my parents) Memaw Billie and Aunt Donna, her High chair from Renee, and one of my favorites, a Sling- I'm going to have to take a picture of it when Lilli gets here- Lauren Wesley got it for us and it is embroidered with Lilli's name. It is gorgeous! Thank you to everyone that was able to come and all the beautiful gifts that we were given. We can't wait to use each and every one of them!

Newman Family Pictures Sneaky Peaky

2007-09-10T05:37:00.000-07:00

Yesterday morning Daniel and I had the pleasure of waking up at 4:30 AM to meet Jewell & Gary Newman and their family at the beach for family pictures. Do you know how hard it is to take pictures of 5 kids (3 of which are teenagers) and 2 adults that are all lacking in sleep and the last thing they want to do is be up and look pretty that early in the morning? Its not!!! This family had it together- they did great! Here are some of my favorites from the morning, don't look too closely these are unphotoshopped (I don't think that is a word). I just wanted to give their family a sneak peak.

Swimming Fun, Fun, Fun!!

2007-08-21T07:08:00.001-07:00

On Saturday, We took a much needed trip to the pool! I floated around and it did wonders for my Preggo Aches and Pains. As you can see in the pictures, Daniel and Dylan are the ones that had the most fun! For the first time, Daniel could throw Dyl into the deep end and have him swim back to him (That's what is happening in the second picture). The third picture shows the first prize winner of the Cannon Ball contest- Daniel's wave went over my head and probably could have knocked me out of the pool. Then you see Dylan's attempt at beating Daniel's splash... he needs to gain some weight if he's going to compete with Daniel!

For You Christine~ Belly Shot

2007-08-18T12:36:00.000-07:00

I've been taking all the pictures since I started gaining weight from this pregnancy so I can avoid being in front of the camera. But apparently I have some relatives that live out of town that want to see what my belly looks like- well, after plenty of procrastination.... Here it is! HUGE! She's going to be a big baby! I'm off to go swimming at Sandra & Dylan's house. Have fun and stay cool in this nationwide heat wave!

This One Is For Dylan~

2007-08-10T17:44:00.000-07:00

Dylan (our Nephew) has started football practice and absolutely loves it! 4 nights a week for 2 +++ hours a night he practices in this serious heat we are having down here. Daniel and I make it to one practice a week to show some support and see how he progresses. These are some pictures from his first practice, it rained hard that day and the ground was soaked- there was mud on my feet from walking in the grass. Gross! Dylan's team still practiced and did push ups and sit ups in the mud. The Boys Loved IT!!! As you can see in the pictures, he was covered in dirt- and these pictures were taken during a water break- he still had another hour to get filthy!!! Every time we go out to watch him Daniel gets excited and tells me Lilli is going to be a boy so he can coach football. This week they started wearing their pads and hitting each each other- they've come a long way in just a short time. Their first game is this weekend and unfortunately Dylan won't be playing because of some serious Heat exhaustion that he suffered from this week but he'll be ready to go next week when he's allowed to return to practice.

Daddy, Maxie, & Teddy are ready for Lilli!

A Special Thank you goes out to Sandra for coming over today and painting Lilli's room!!! All of the pink is done and this upcoming week we'll put up the new base boards and chair rail. Thank you to Lynda who bought Lilli's mattress today so we went ahead and put her bedding together. After we got all of that done, the boys decided to have a little photo shoot in Lilli's room. Max & Teddy keep walking in her room just sniffing around and wondering what is going on?!!

Lilli's Bedding

We ordered Lilli's Bedding and it finally came!!! I am so very excited that it is here so we can start working on her room. Here is a glimpse of it~ we are going to paint the room very light pink and put white wainscotting up. I'll post pictures of the actual nursery after we get it done. ~Amy

A Few Months Back...

2007-07-11T20:08:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone~

Daniel was disappointed that I started this blog and didn't put any pictures of us on it. Since I am 20 weeks pregnant and can barely stand looking in the mirror I decided to post the most recent pictures that I like. Here are the images from the Cruise we took in March. We went to Cozumel and somewhere else that I just can't think of the name... I'll let you know when I remember. Daniel and I had a Blast!!! We went with the majority of the Day family and It was probably the best vacation ever. These are just a few of my favorites ~Amy

Starting the Blog and a Recap of this Week :)

Well, I've decided to be like so many others and start blogging. I wanted to create a spot that all of our friends and family can go and check in on us and see what is going on. I've always wanted to do one of these but I didn't feel like Daniel and I did anything interesting enough to post about. Now that we are expecting our first little baby GIRL, I figured its about time! WAHOO... we are exciting now! I'm going to be posting some images from this past week and here is a recap of what happened. Last Sunday Jonathan arrived in Pensacola for his 2 weeks of R&R. We were there to greet him at the airport, we were each so excited we could barely stand it! April, Matt, and their Children have been in town since 4th of July and we've had a wonderful visit with them. Bryce and Emma have grown so much and little Grace is just a doll. You know I didn't hear her cry all week long?! (I hope my baby is like her) Jonathan and Sandra tied the not yesterday on 7/7 and it was beautiful! Kathryn and Dylan were the cutest flower girl and ring bearer I've ever seen. You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful evening or a more heartouching ceremony. They wrote their own vows and had everyone wiping the tears from their eyes. It was an intimate wedding and I'm so glad that I was there to see this great couple start their lives together. Following are some pictures from the wedding last night- as soon as I can get some more images from Sandra and Mom (Shame on me for not having my camera) I'll be posting some more highlights from the week.
