Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from our little kitty cat!  She told us about three weeks ago that she wanted to be a kitty cat, so we thought, "ok, we'll see how long this lasts".  She never changed her mind.  So Lila Jane was a cute little black kitty cat this year.  :)

We went trick or treating at all of our family and friend's houses.  She was such a good girl and only got scared a couple times.  :)  I have to say she's a pretty cute cat.

He cousin Ally was cat too. 

The Big News

I'm sorry I haven't been updating much and I'm really disappointed in myself because this has always been the best way for me to document what Lila is doing and at what age she is doing it.  :(  So I'm going to try to update some pictures from her 2nd birthday and some other fun adventures we've been on since the last time I posted!

So the big news is that...

Lila is very excited that she will be getting a baby sister or brother.  It should be too much longer before we can maybe see what's in there!  LOL

Other things as of late...

Lately

Eating Fujiyama

Swinging at Nanna's

Concentrating hard on coloring

Playing by the fan with Dad

She looks so big here!  I can't believe it.

Back to a Routine

Thankfully, we are getting back in a routine now that school is back in session.  While we soooooo appreciate all the help we had and days off we had during the summer, Lila was just all out of sorts, never knowing where she was going the next day.  Going back to full time at daycare and been amazing.

In less than a month my baby will be turning 2 years old.  How is it even possible that two years have had a chance to pass.  It's insane.  I know people tell you have fast it goes, but WOW...it really does.

She has started a ritual where now every day she has to ask me who all is coming to her birthday.  She will say, "Daddy come to birfday me?".  "Yes Daddy is coming to a birthday for you.".  This goes on and on until she can no longer think of any family members or friends.  Sometimes this happens more than once a day. :)

Lila is having an owl themed birthday party this year.  I picked it out.  Everyone said I better pick this year because from here on out she will want to pick.  So I went with owls.  Once I got everything ordered, I got excited about it all.  She woke up the very next morning looked straight in my eyes and the first words out of her mouth were "Mommy, I like a monkey birfday".  Seriously?  I can't win.  Needless to say we're sticking with the owls.  I'm hoping she doesn't tell everyone at her birthday party that she wanted a monkey birfday.  :)

Lila Jane has also learned the infamous "Big Dogs" cheer.  Our mascot is the Bulldogs and my brother plays football.  She goes and gets her pom poms and says the whole cheer.  Poor daddy.  He made the comment the other day that he wants her to play sports.  LOL  I think we still have time before she makes that decision. :)

We are ready for more football on Friday night!

Vaca Pics

As promised, here are a few pics from our family vacation!

Florida

Today is our last day at the beach.  It has been the best week anyone could ask for.  The first day we got here and it started raining immediately.  The second day, it rained ALL DAY!  We were scared when the forecast said storms everyday this week.  Thankfully, just like our meteorologists at home, the ones here are wrong all the time too.  :)  There were a couple hours every day that the clouds took over, but the rest of the day was great.  Lila took to the beach quite after the first few hours of being pretty unhappy with the way the sad stuck to every part of her body.

I'm planning on posting a few of our pictures once I get home and get them organized on the computer.  Stay tuned for some awesome pics of our first vaca with Lila.

Vacation Countdown

In less than a week, we will be departing to Destin, FL for our family vacation.  I am sooo excited I can't even stand it.  I can't wait to post all of our pictures from the beach.  If I could live on the beach, I would.  I love it so much.  Stay tuned for a post of my fave places and pics!

In other news, I had to bust my streak of no going to Walmart.  Saturday, I had to run in and out really quick to get a birthday present for a little boy and I just wasn't sure that the dollar store would have anything he wanted.  I ran in and out and escaped spending only $11.  Whew!

I have recently become certified to be a personal trainer.  I love working out and running and for about 10 years have wanted to help others get the job done.  I have developed an interest in group fitness classes as well and can't wait to help teach at our local gym!  I'm so excited about our new fall line-up of classes.  I'm really wanting to do a lunchtime spin class so those of us who can only make it to the gym at lunch can get our cardio in!  I'm also interested in becoming certified to teach Pilates.  I love it so much more than yoga.  I'll keep you in the loop and as soon as they get the new schedule, I'll post it for you!!!

Here is the Facebook page for the gym where I workout.  If you live in Harrisburg and are not a member, you need to be one!  :)
