first snow fall of the season!

October 25th and we wake up to it snowing

all day we would run over to the sliding door to watch the snow fall

she would giggle and laugh while smacking the glass she was so excited about it (Christmas time is gonna be fun!)

after the day of snow we only had a little stick

The next morning the snow was melted but we still got to bundle up for our walk

Lola's 1st Birthday!

We had two different birthday parties for Lola the first one was Saturday the 13th at our house with Danny's family and our friends :)

At first with the cake she was really skeptical but after a minute of barely touching it she decided to get dirty

Such a silly girl

nice tongue action right?

she also rubbed her eye while she was mid cake eating never a good time to get an itch thats for sure

opening presents was so fun she laughed and giggled it was the best

getting the musical bath toys from her uncle Mikey

opening more presents

For decorating we made a wall of Lola's first year

and we made these big pom-poms so fun

On her birthday the 14th we went out for birthday breakfast and wore pigtails for the first time

after we went to the mall and played on the kid rides

here is a sample of her driving skills

Later that night we went to her second birthday party at my mom and dads house and had even more cake!

too much fun and maybe its just me but Lola seemed to like being the center of attention

We opened more presents!

she only ripped little pieces off 

the toys she got are so fun we love them

opening presents takes lots of concentration

and Grandma and Grandpa got her this HUGE unicorn (although there is a lot of speculation if it is in fact a unicorn) pillow pet

Thank you so much to all of you who made Lola's first birthday so special.  We couldn't have done any of this without you!

cute moments in September

bothering Brutus (It's one of her favorite things to do)

swinging at Grandmas house

playing in the puddle after a rain storm

spinning on the chair in grandmas play room

playing Lego's with the cousins 

she just wanted to take them off and hold them I don't think she grasps the concept yet

chasing after dad when he goes to school "dadada!" 

wearing her new boots for the first time

hiking in little cottonwood canyon

just being really adorable in her leopard print dress

hide and seek with her dogs

Grandma got Lola these four dog puppets and she just loves them 

she discovered she could hide them in the laundry basket then crawl in and get them out she is so silly

here she is shoving all the dogs in the basket

then she goes in after them

and pulls them to safety

then she does it again its amazing how fun it is just to watch her figure things out

the ride of her life

Dad lays down the blanket

Lola then will hurry to get there

sit down on the blanket

and hold on!

around the room!

then at the end gets the blanket thrown on her nice touch dad!  They did this for a good half an hour before I took any pictures I took a video of the last run that didn't finish but she is so cute I couldn't help posting it hope it works

Lola being helpful

I was dusting upstairs and had just brought the vacuum up i turned around to see what Lola was doing and there she is plugging and unplugging the vacuum 

this is her getting in trouble for trying to put the cord in her mouth

and there it is i know i should have been stopping her instead of taking pictures but it was cute and I did stop her as soon as i took a few pics :)

Another helpful thing Lola does is when i am folding our laundry she likes to find things and put them in the laundry basket

case and point putting medicine into the laundry basket she is so funny
