June 2011

So after a picture-filled May, June comes along and we slack off on the pictures.  Shame on us.  It was even Father's Day, and we didn't even take one to commemorate that day!  I did take a few random pictures of Lily being silly.
We went out on the Revels' boat, but the only pictures I took were of when we got home and Lily & Kader took a bath together.  I love having such embarrassing pictures for the future! 
Other than that, June was a month of hanging out at the pool, and with our new friends and neighbors Raz & Sam.  Hopefully we'll be better in the future of capturing more memories.

So excited that Mommy got the vacuum cleaner out


My excited little girl LOVES to eat!

Lily & Kader take a bath after a long day on the boat




"Mom! Don't take pictures of me in the bath... With a boy!"

"Uh, yeah... Don't take my picture either!"



Love, Ashlee, Jeff, & Lily

May 2011

We started off May with a sleepover at the Revels'.  They live about 45 minutes away, so when we get together with them, we usually end up staying over because it's easier than waking Lily up to drive back home!
Mother's Day was in May, which was my 2nd :).  Lily got me Oriental lilies and Jeff got me roses.  Then we had a visit from Uncle Jo Jo, and then Grandpa and Meme.  We went to the Marbles Kids Museum, and I swear Jeff and Jordan had a better time than Lily!  Then when Grandpa and Meme were here, we went to the Asheboro Zoo.  We took a lot of pictures of the animals, but I left them out because I had so many other pictures!
Lily and I went to the "Got to be NC" festival with Lily's cousin Marley, and some of our neighbors, Kelli & Molli and Jes & Tia.  It was a really great festival for all of the girls - they had rides, tons of carnival food, and a petting zoo!
We wrap up May with a few pictures of Lily taking down a McDonald's cheeseburger, and a few shots of fun in the pool.
There are a lot of pictures for May, but don't feel pressured to look at them all!

Jeff - the one who is allergic to cats!


It's much more fun to look under the rug instead of playing with toys!

Is he laughing hysterically, or did Lily take him down???

Checking out the Around the World iPod

Nice purse Jeff! ;)

Cheer or play with the iPod? How about both!

When Grandpa comes to play I have to wear my "I <3 Grandpa" shirt!

At the zoo - Lily's not too sure about those giraffe, even though they didn't get close enough for us to feed them.

She did, however, LOVE the carousel! Each person took a turn riding with her.





Just a little picture of how well she's using her fork ;)

My lilies bloomed!

Molli & Marley at the festival

Tia decided to join them

Such excitement over getting to hold a whole cheeseburger instead of having it cut up into pieces!
