The Cheesy Smile

Lately Lilly has started cheesing it up for the camera. I don't know where she got it but anytime the camera comes out, she just starts getting all cheesy. We went to Applebees for dinner one night and she was just being super cheesy for anyone that walked by. She is so funny sometimes!

Grandma and Grandpa Visit/ State Choir

In Late January my sister Amber was accepted into the State Choir. The performance was held here in Pocatello, so my parents came to visist. Of course when my dad comes he has to also bring M&Ms for the kids! Oh well, we had a great time and Amber did an awesome job in the concert. She was a 1st Saprano in an all girls choir.
Here is Owen, Claire and Grandpa!
Lilly was begging for more M&Ms (She's a chocoholic!)
Isn't that a great picture of Owen (his mouth is full of M&Ms)
Amber is the second one in on the bottom row. Great Job Amber!

Pnuemonia

I know that it has been a little while since I last updated. This short entry is just to say that I will be updating very shortly with pictures and more, but I have been busy and too tired to do so. On Thursday of last week Lilly developed a cough (which isn't unusual for this season) on Saturday she was ok, but started to weez. I was watching her closely and just decided to see where things would go. By monday the weezing hadn't stopped and we went to the doctor. I suspected pnuemonia, but obviously I didn't know for sure. Sure enough Lilly was diagnosed with pneumonia. So then I thought, well that is good and they can give us some medicine and she will get better - right!?! WRONG! she, of course, has viral pneumonia, which means we jsut have to let it runs its course and just watch her closely ie, make sure she has plenty of fluids, keep the air moist, etc. What a way to make a mom feel worse for her kid! So, now it is Wednesday and Lilly is still under the weather. She finally ate half an egg and half a piece of bread today (which is good considering she hasn't eaten anything since Saturday!) We are in the midst of late nights, getting up in the middle of the night, and extremely early mornings. We all also seem to have the same virus, and we are just trying to get rid of it. Needless to say I am a little tired and will update the blog better at a later date.
