Merry Kissmas

Our holiday photo shoot was a blast.  Lola really loves the camera and apparently the camera feels the same way. 

Early Voting

Before Trick or Treating we decided to go and early vote to beat the long lines.  We still had to wait 30 minutes to vote.  And as we approached the beginning of the line, Lola asks (super loud) Mommy we are going to vote for President Obama right in a crowded auditorium in Cobb County, in a Red State...I proudly answered Yes Sweetheart, we are voting for President Obama!

Princess Cleopatra

After a month of negotiating I was finally able to convice Lola that Cleopatra was indeed a Princess before she was Queen.  It was quite a campaign to convince her to be Princess Cleopatra instead of one of the Disney Princesses.  But she was finallly convinced and she was a complete show stopper. 

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween Cleo and 2 Zombies

If you know Lola you know what a scardy cat she is..it took her a minute to adjust to her friends Miles and Yousef in their full on Zombie costumes.  But she was able to understand it was just "pretend".  We stareted out a a kids party which was super cute complete with Thriller Video and then off to trick or treating.  The finale was a entire candy bar by the owners of the last house we hit.  Needless to say the kids were besides themselves..

Trampoline House Bday Fun

After watching the summer olympics we both fell in love with Gabby Douglas.  Lola has been doing cartwheels and handstands to anyone willing to watch.  So we thought it would be a good idea to take her to a trampoline house to sharpen her skills.  Daddy mentioned when we got there that kids get hurt at these places...now we know how...

Happy 5th Birthday Lola

What a fun day at Grandma Stevens.  Lola really enjoyed her bday party with her family.  Happy 5th BirthdayLola Magnolia.

Budding Entrepreneur

Lola is well on her way to making her first million.  She set up a lemonade stand at Aunt Pats garage sale.  She did a good job serving her customers.  And managed not to drink all of the inventory. 

First happy customer....

The little Ballerina

Part II The little ballerina really love the stage, no stage freight here.

Petting Zoo

Lola's first  instinct was to take off running...but after some coaxing from her classmate Lizzie, Lola decided the bunny was harmless enough to pet and actually pick up.  She's braver than me...

Monkey see Monkey do!

eeverything Mom-Mom does Lola does....

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! Lola and Daddy painted some pretty Easter Eggs after church.

Good job Lola!

Hookey at Lake Allatoona

80 degrees and zero humidity calls for a day in the sun, so we both played hookey packed a lovely picnic and hit the lake. Will have to return later this summer.

uno dos tres baby bryce

Baby Bryce came for a visit and we really enjoyed having her. Lola really enjoyed being a "big sister" and tried her best to show Bryce the ropes. She wanted to count to BB in spanish.

Spring Parade at Primrose

Primrose had a nice spring parade where all of the classes sang songs and showed off the springs hats they made. Lola's classes wore bunny hats and bunny faces. And she seems to have all the right bunny moves.

The Zoo!

We spent a lovely afternoon at the zoo. Lola and Ivan decided to take the maps and lead us in the right direction...
