Lola is a little Singer!

January 27, 2012

Color 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!!!!!

Lola in 60 Seconds

October 27, 2011

Here’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!

Two Little Dolls

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, 2011

Our 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!

Lola Loves to Party

July 4, 2011

Last 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.

A Date Night with Nan

Color her happy! Lola was overjoyed that Nan walked up the hill to pick her up for their “DATE” last night.

We scooted off to Dylan’s play, the boys went over the Crystal and JD’s house…and Lola got into her Royal apple green carriage and was whisked off to the wonderful world of adoring Grandparents. It’s a lovely place where everyone is in awe of each thing you do, and even the sassy stuff seems adorable to them. :)

I’m told that they first went on a long walk – 1 hour! Lola must have been in heaven, she adores being outside.

She definitely kept Mom and Dad hopping with her busy little ways. Lola brought her little Amy Butler purse along stocked with fun little treasures like makeup brushes, bracelets and her tiny baby doll. Mom said that she hasn’t slept so deep in her new house as she did last night after watching Lola!! HAHA! I can relate.

You have to admit, they look pretty darn cute together! Thanks Mom and Dad for helping us out last night!

A Throne for Lola

April 6, 2011

Yesterday I purchased a little potty for Lolabug. She’s only 15 months old but the girl is showing all the signs of wanting to potty train it out during the day. So my response is – heck yes!!! I’ll let you know how it goes, I probably won’t start until next week as my parents move to Lethbridge happens this weekend and I know it’s going to be busy.

My little girl is shocking me with all she can do and wants to try. It’s thrilling to see how determined she is, and terrifying too. She rushes headfirst into stuff and barrels on in (I think it’s due to having 4 big brothers).

I must admit that this entire experience of her babyhood has been some of the most beautiful days and times of my life. I cherish her emotions and expressions. I love watching her inquisitive nature. I adore seeing her mangle her Dad’s hair with slobbery kisses. She’s such a gift to me. I hope that she won’t be upset in a few years when she realizes that she won’t be getting a baby sister or baby brother. Uggh. I’d
Love to see Lola as a big sister, but alas my mortal clock is way past wound up on that front. Instead she’ll have little cousins and friends babies to adore and “pretend to mother”. That, plus an insane collection of dolls I’m sure! :)

Together Again!
