Day 13

Today Lyla got her Valentine treat from me.

It was a little box of chocolates.

She would lick it out of her hand.

We had a pretty relaxed day because we are the Wolf Cub Den Leaders

 and I had ton of stuff to get ready for our activity that night.

Lyla loves the boys coming over. She talks about it all day.

(I love her morning hair)

 Day 14

Happy Valentine's Day!

This morning Lyla wasn't a happy camper. But by the afternoon she was her happy self.

Today Lyla got a new dress that I made.  It was quite an experiment, but I like how it turned out.

Lyla being sad and not wanting to get her picture taken.

By that evening Lyla was ready to say cheese.

For dinner we had steak, salmon and potatoes.

For desert we had little cheese cakes I made into the shape of a heart.

This count down to Valentine's Day was really fun.

I think it will be something we do every year!

 Day 10

Today Lyla got two new shirts and a heart pillow. (I couldn't get a good picture with her with them)  I made the pillow out of left over fabric from her Flintstones Halloween costume.  We also went to church and Lyla stayed dry and went in the potty at church. :-)

Day 11

She is wearing one of her new shirts. Today we made Daddy a Valentine. She LOVES to paint. We have been working on colors and painting was a great way to talk about colors.




















We also made chocolate, peanut butter M&M cookies for daddy. He loves them.  While they were baking Lyla and Daddy sat on the stairs and waited.  Lyla thinks my Ipod is hers. :-)

Day 12

Today Lyla got to open a present.

It was 4 books.

One about snow, Baby Mickey's toys, Old McDonald and a little pig.

She loves to read and I get sick of reading the same books over and over.

Plus...I can only check out two books at a time at our Library for the next 3 months.

So more books at our house is a good thing.

We also made Moon sand.  Lyla had so much fun with it.
(4 cups flour and 1/2 cup baby oil)


Only two more days!!

 Day 9

We always have so much fun with Daddy on the weekends.

Today we watched him play church ball and after dinner we got ice cream.

Lyla loves to run around and 'play' basketball.

She also LOVES ice cream.

She talked about going all day.

 Day 8

 Today Lyla got a new skirt and head band.

I made it from the same butterfly material from her crib bedding.

She had to try it on right away.

Lyla also got to go on a date with her Daddy.

Day 6

Today we made Valentine cards for Lyla's friends.

We took them to our friends house with some of the 

cookies we made the day before.

Lyla loves visiting her friends and talked about it for 

the rest of the day.

I couldn't get her to look at me when I

took her picture.

 Day 7

Today Lyla got a heart matching game. She loves it. We have been working on colors. She is getting better and isn't saying every color is blue anymore.

On a side note....Lyla has been accident free for a week! :-) Even at nap time and bed time. 

EVEN WHEN WE LEAVE THE HOUSE!!  

It's a miracle! She is so smart!

ALSO, we are finished with the little frog potty. 

It's so nice not wash that thing out.

She is getting so big!

 Day 5

She looks sad in this picture, but she really was excited to open her envelop.

We made sugar cookies!

We also had popcorn.

Mostly to keep her from trying to eat all the cookie dough.

She loves to frost cookies, but she also likes to lick the cookies.

So I give her a couple of cookies and I frost the rest.

Day 3 and 4

 Lyla wasn't feeling well on Sunday so I decided to wait and do day 3 on day 4.

She is feeling much better. Well, at least she is acting better. Still coughing....:-(

We made cards for Lyla's aunts, uncles and cousins.

As she was coloring she would ask me who's card it was.

We also made these cute heart things to hang on the wall.

Lyla is doing so well at going on her potty.

Here she is putting puzzles together on my Ipod touch.

She calls it 'Lyla's phone' and has figured out how to unlock it.

I got her a puzzle app and I have already had to get her a harder one because she figured out the

other ones already. 

After dinner tonight she jumped down from the table stood in front of our 

Valentine envelops and said,"Cheese." (which is what I make her do every morning before she can take the envelop down)

 I guess she is liking the count down. :-)

We also cut daddy's hair. Lyla loves to help me. It was a fun day. Can't wait to see what we get to do tomorrow!

 Day 2

Look at this cute face! Love this girl! Lyla wasn't feeling very good today (cough and runny nose) so we had a low key day.  We worked on crafts for the Ward and Lindstrom Grandparents. She has so much fun being creative. I think she liked having Daddy home helping her with her coloring, gluing and painting.




















The envelop said she could pick a movie from Redbox. We wanted to get Brave (which she has already seen) but they didn't have it. So we got Ice Age. She loved it!

She also likes holding my hand while we watch movies.














The envelop also said we were making pizza for dinner.
She loves to eat the pepperoni. It was a great day!

 The 14 days of Valentine's!

I have been getting in a little rut with activities and such with Lyla so 

I decided to do a count down to Valentine's day.

 Everyday we are going to open an envelop and either do whatever is inside or

 open a present.

I got everything ready and put together about 3 weeks ago....so I don't really know what we are doing everyday.  I just know that I have it all ready in a box in my craft room. :-)

Day 1

We made Valentine's Day cards and a little present for Great-Grandpa Zobell, the Lindstrom Great-Grandparents and my Boompa. (which we will mail out later next week)

I LOVE THIS FACE!!!

Lyla gets very serious and concentrates whenever she is doing crafts.

The song 'You've Got A Friend In Me' from Toy Story came on and Lyla jumped up

 and started dancing and singing.

I love this girl!

I am excited for the next 13 days of fun.
