Lola Valentine’s Day Outfit
January 30, 2012Lola is a little Singer!
January 27, 2012Color me happy, my little baby girl is quite the entertainer. So many times throughout the day I’ll find her throwing her arms wide and up to the sky, while she sings long notes and spins in a circle (very Julie Andrew’s Sound of Music like).
Singing was such a huge part of my life as a child, I took lessons from the best voice coach Kathleen Taylor for several years. I joined every choir, every performance that I could, I performed in a Musical Event called “Music is My Life” at the Jubilee Auditorium when I was 8 and it was an amazing experience to be a part of. I still sing (under the radar), but I have learned that my nerves limit my performance ability, so I stick to singing in the shower or in my car now. I’ve always hoped that my children would love music, and enjoy singing particularly. Now it’s fun to see my baby girl so into the wild performance of song right before my eyes.
I hope to capture some video of Lola doing her singing thing to share, it’s just too cute for words! What’s next on the horizon??? Dance classes for baby girl, I can’t think of anything cuter than seeing her dance in a ballet class. These next few years are going to be FUN!!!!!
Dress, Haircuts and Ski Hills
January 12, 2012
Yesterday Lola wore one of her new dresses from Christmas. Thanks to Nathan’s Mom for this fun vibrant dress, I love it and so does Lola. In fact the perfect headband to go with it was picked out by Lola herself, who reached into the basket and placed it happily on her head. That girls knows her fashion! I was like…”GO GIRL!!” Nothing like dressing to impress when you’re heading downtown, we were the HIT of the car service department yesterday.
My handsome little men showing off their new hairdo’s! Man are these kids huge now or am I crazy?! I can’t believe my little boys are looking more and more like young men.
By the way, I’m really loving using my favorite apps on my iPhone right now - Instagram and Camera+ they are the best for capturing life’s everyday moments when I don’t have my DSLR along for the ride. Trying desperately to capture a shot of my Noah today, but the boy is a blur when it comes to pics right now. He’s always moving.
Dylan (Tavis) is out on the ski hill today, snowboarding with a group of friends – lucky teenager! I wish I had pictures of that.
Lola in 60 Seconds
October 27, 2011Here’s a quick and dirt simple way to make a POTD (picture of the day) page in just a minute or two. I simply snapped some face shots of Lola all within a 60 second time frame. Then I uploaded to iPhoto, selected them and used an iPhoto email template and saved. Now I can print it and stick it into her scrapbook, or email it quickly to friends and family. I honestly didn’t even edit the shots, they just made me laugh so I went for it. Easy Peasy!
Lola and Mommy on the beach
October 23, 2011This afternoon Lola and I indulged in some girl time on our beach. I kind of hung back today and watched Lola picking up tiny pebbles, and then giving each a kiss and throwing them into the water. She was delighted with the water, the seaweed, the sunshine. Seeing her discover all the new sights and smells of life by the sea is truly a gift, even when each time as we approach the water she exclaims “Ewww, Gooossss!” (Ewww Gross).
Lola loves her pink glitter rubber boots, they are a staple of her wardrobe right now. If all else fails she’ll grab her rubber boots and start running.
Lola will be two years old in December, I can’t believe my darling baby is growing up so much. She still needs me, and is stuck to me like glue. I love it for the most part and don’t know how I’ll handle her venturing out beyond my grasp soon. Right now she is enamoured with my exclusive company, so I’m enjoying every second of it.
Two Little Dolls
October 4, 2011
Life is sweet when you have a friend. Lola’s new friend was given to her by her Nana while she visited us last week. Her sweet face reminds me to much of my Lolabug, she even has the exact same pouty expression with her lips (and the hair is too perfect!).
We are taking name suggestions for Lola’s baby doll – leave your ideas below. As you can see they are best buddies already. I love seeing them curled up with Lola’s hand on her baby’s leg. Too sweet!!

Lola in Gail’s Garden
August 6, 2011Our little doll enjoying the sheer splendor of Gail’s garden in Moses Lake. Gail’s yard is a dreamy place full of beauty, and seeing Lola enjoy it so much with adorable. We LOVE being with the Earls (and Lola adores being Tom’s favourite!!)
PS – I love the last shot where Lola’s little chin dimples are showing. She is so beautiful!
Playtime in Nan’s Garden
July 13, 2011It’s so much fun to see Lola enjoy the summer! She was adorable the other day when I dropped her off to my Mother for playtime in the sprinkler and garden. These are the shots my Mom took of her! I’m so happy she captured Lola at play this summer. Love it!!
Lola Loves to Party
July 4, 2011Last week Joshua turned 10 years old!! I’m still working on his Birthday post including pictures, so keep watching for that. In the meantime, I had to share this hilarious picture of Lola, so Overjoyed to be attending his party! Icing on the cheek and a wild woman attitude, I am so in love with my Lolabug. I’ll say it again, we should have used JOY as her middle name.
