| How does time go so quickly? I can't believe Lilly is already 5 months old. You can see some of the things she has learned to do this past month on the list above. We think this girl is pretty cute! |
 |
| Lilly loves Jasper. She will see him across the room and just start laughing. I think they will be good friends! |
 |
| A big event for Lilly this month! |
 |
| March 30, 2012- My Dad invited us to come to the Alumni football practice again this year. It gets me so excited for football to start again. It was fun to watch the players as well as check out the new ones. They are always so great to sign their autographs afterwards. They looked really good! Lilly got in on the action this year! She was all decked out in her BYU shirt (thanks Aunt Mel). She also had pig tails for the first time today...pretty cute if I do say so myself! We watched practice then went to a dinner for all of the alumni players and their families. It was a fun day! |
 |
| On Saturday we colored Easter eggs in between conference sessions. I love this picture of Lilly....she is telling us all about it! This girl takes after her Dad and loves to talk! |
 |
We went and rolled Easter eggs at Murray Park later that afternoon! It was fun experiencing it with Lilly for the first time. She loved it of course:) I think it is a tradition she will enjoy when she is a little older! It was windy but we loved the warm weather. The rest of the time was spent with the Hillam clan....we ate lots of yummy food, had Easter egg hunts, and enjoyed being with one another. Love the traditions we have!

| Easter Sunday was such a beautiful day! Lilly loved her Easter basket (well maybe the wrapping was more fun:). We went to church and found two other people had the same dress as Lilly, guess we all have good taste. We went to dinner at Mom and Dad's house. I am so thankful for our Savior's sacrifice and the opportunity it gives for us to live with our Father in Heaven again. I'm also so thankful for this beaufiful blessing we have in our life now! What was life even like before she came along? Happy Easter! It is sad to see Spring break come to an end....we had such a fun time. I loved being home with Lilly and getting to cuddle with her in the morning! |
 |
| Call us crazy but we decided to check out City Creek on its opening weekend. We rode Trax from the new stop by our house, it was so smooth...we loved not having to deal with traffic or find parking. City Creek is incredible! It is fun to have some new stores here in Utah. I also love the creek running down the middle of it. It was crazy busy, you could hardly move in a few places, but we had a great time! We met Kristen and Robert for dinner at The Blue Lemon...yum... love that place. We watched the fountain show, ate Peanut Butter Cheesecake, and checked out a couple of stores. We will have to go back when it isn't so busy, I have some shopping I want to do! |
 |
| I am more in love with this little girl everyday! This past month Lilly has found her voice and loves to babble and coo constantly (must take after her Dad). She is ticklish under her arms and on the bottom of her feet...she laughs when you change her clothes. She is above the 97th percentile for her length (26.5"), and the 90th percentile for her weight (16 lbs. 11 oz.). She started going to the babysitter twice a week...and has been doing a great job! We are lucky to have such a great family watch her. There were a few times when Lilly would only let me feed her....she would cry if anyone else tried. Lilly went sledding for the first time...I'm sure it was something she will hever forget:) She got her shots the other night and had a rough time....I need to remember to give her tylenol before we go to the doctor. It is so fun to watch her grow, time is going much too quickly but we are enjoying every minute of it. |
 |
| The Saturday after Lillian's blessing, we found out that Jason's Grandpa Dowdle had passed away. We are so thankful that he was able to take part in Lilly's blessing and get to meet her. I love this picture, it is so precious! |

| Mom's ward gave a Welcome Lilly shower. It was so fun to see everyone. I wish I would have taken more pictures. I love the women in that ward, they are such a wonderful support and have played a huge part in my life! It was fun to have all of the DeLaMare girls (minus one- we missed you Chelsey) there, it is nice to have 5 more sisters....love them. |
 |
| For President's Day we slept at the Crockett's house on Sunday to celebrate Jana's and Carly's birthday. We went to Logan on Monday and went sledding on Old Main Hill. We had a lot of fun! Lilly even got in on a little ride. We went to LaBeau's for dinner, one of my favorite places to eat in Logan. Ash & Kevin let us hang out at their house afterwards. It was a fun weekend, wish it could have lasted longer. |

| February Photo-a-day! I love looking back at the past month...I'm so excited I am keeping up with this! If you want to do it for March I've posted the topics to photograph each day, you can also go here to see fat mum slim's blog. If you start using My365 or Instagram make sure you follow me so I can follow you too. |
 |
| Before: First I did the Gallery Wall...I love how it turned out. I used pieces of paper the size of each frame to get them arranged on the wall. I found that is the best way for me to do it. |
 |
Next we put up the boards and caulked it. We tried to find the best way to fill in the gaps! |
 |
We found that if we used a spatula it helped smooth out the caulk at the seams! |
 |
| Then we painted! I love how it turned out. I am changing our living room and kitchen a little at a time! I am loving the lighter colors. It is very calming. I'm in love with our new wall! |
 |
| One more view! |
 |
| I love being able to display so many fun pictures! Can you tell I adore that little girl? |
