Vaseline intensive care is not for ones hair!

Funny Story!

Wednesday was my 33rd birthday. I had a wonderful birthday with some really great gifts from my family. That is not the funny part. I was getting ready because Peter was going to take us girls out for my day. I saw Lily with a jar of Vaseline and thought well she can't get that open. I severely underestimated my two year old. I forgot about the Vaseline and continued on my merry way getting ready. Lily comes into the bathroom and says mommy stuey hair. I looked up from my beautification process and saw Lily with what looked like wet hair. What happened had not clicked quite yet. I said did Stuey lick your hair, our dog is a major licker. She said no. Then the Vaseline came back to the forefront of my brain. Lily divided the whole jar of Vaseline between herself and our dog. While I was busy doing my hair she was also doing hers. Vaseline I must say does not come out of ones hair or fur very easily. We went to dinner anyways with a very happy very greasy little one. Stuey and Lily have both had many baths over the last few days and they still look slightly greasy. I did find a home remedy on the Internet so I was not the only mom that thought that their little one could not get that jar open. I won't be underestimating her any time soon! I did not get a picture of Lily with her greaser do I did however capture Stuey. Lily's hair looked much the same. The picture however does not capture the true essense of the grease.

Check me out how smart am I!

Now I'm gettin Sassy!

Favorite Foto Friday #1

Favorite Foto Friday #1

I have wanted to post a favorite photo friday for quite sometime but fridays seem to slip away from me without any computer time. So I am awake for some unknown reason at 3:30 am and I decided to make good use of my time. So here is my first official favorite foto friday. The theme is spring weather. The weather here in CA has been less than stellar. We have this wind around here that is oh so cold. So I decided to check out the archives and see what I could find. Lily is about 9 months old and these pictures are of our first summer together. She has always been such a happy girl. I can't believe what a big girl she is now!

Hair cut

Mommy someone says if you make this face too much it might get stuck. Lets see if it is true.

Another photo shoot picture. The weird mark on her face is because I do not own a scanner so I took a picture of the picture in the frame.
My girl never ceases to amaze me. I brought an arsenal of bribery on the trip to the salon. To my shock and dismay Lily got up in the chair played with the toys handed to her and was a complete angel. I am beginning to understand what parents mean when they say that their children are always well behaved at a friends house. Lily does phenomenal things for strangers.

Ta Dah. I even get a jelly bean.
This is Lily's new camera smile. I think it is hilarious. She is a flower girl in a wedding in a few weeks. I wonder if this face will be in all the wedding pictures? Another place I expect to need a bag of magic tricks. who knows she might amaze me and walk right down the aisle. We shall see.

Window down

Just another car ride. Lily has decided these movie star glasses are pretty cool. And when we ride in the car the window must be down.

Lily learned this face from her repeated episodes of Barney. wook mommy arent I cute.

Lily went on a photo shoot. Where she was magically well behaved. The gods were with me that day. I haven't been to the picture people in almost a year since our last embarrassing trip. But my girl smiled and said cheese that day.
Mommy and Lily dining out. I love my cuddle bug.
