Favorite Birthday Gifts


Lola received many great gifts but i think her favorite was from Auntie Tracie. A wonderful book entitled Lola at the Library. We read it every day!

How old are you Lola?


Look who is 1 year old today!

Yucky Frosting...Get It Off!!


it did not go over well. no party hat, no candle, no frosting, she was however ok with the happy birthday song.

Birthday Cupcake

Ok i admit i am the meaniest mommy ever, lola has not had anything sweet, no juice, no candy, and no Uncle Paul, no cheeto's. I thought i would let her have a little something sweet for her bday....but it didn't go over well.

Birthday Girl!


Just another day for Lola as she packs her bag for day care. But just 365 days a go, A STAR was born!

Lola at the family reunion



Lola lola lola...after a long day lola finally let someone hold her outside of mommy, daddy and cousin ashlee. Auntie Joyce pulled out all the stops and Lola finally sat down and got a great big hug!! and it looks like a foot massage from auntie Pat.

the koi fish


they were huge!!

big gold fish


Look at that big ole fish grandma! I think it was Lola's first time seeing fish. The Koi swam right up to us. Apparently they were hand fed, and little lola was frightened at first and then super curious.

butterfly exhibit at the franklin conservatory


An afternoon with Grandma and Butterflys


We spent the afternoon with Grandma Stevens and an amazing butterfly exhibit. hmm lola might be more interested in her book than the butterfly's...

let me out vs let me in!

Lola and Carter are just 4 days apart! And as you can see they love to play with one another. This is a great way to keep them accidently scratching or biting one another...ahh baby love
