Birthday Number 2

Auntie Joan was nice enough to share her birthday with Lola. We had a family gathering here in Fresno, and boy did Lola score. She got all of her favorite things...


... New shoes... (a girl can never have too many)...

... A jar of peanut butter (to carry around, but not to eat)...

... Books...

She loves reading a lot!!

And finally another yummy birthday cake for her and auntie Joan to share.

Party Planning


After we went to bed, mommy, daddy, and gamma worked very hard on Lola's cake. We think it turned out great!!



Mommy didn't think that anyone would want to eat after Lola dug her hands (and face) into the cake, so she made cupcakes for the rest of us.


Aren't they cute?

This is the final product for the table - I got to eat 2 cupcakes and part of Lola's cake!!

Happy Birthday to Lola

For Lola Reed's birthday we went over to Arroyo Grande - lucky Lola!


Lola is learning how to use the cones - before long she will be able to coach daddy, and judging by her personality, I don't think that she will give him any breaks.



Lola had so much fun running around the field. I love her new tennis shoes. They are my favorite color - pink!


Lola is learning to play rugby. She is really good. She never lets go of the ball!

All that running with the ball makes a girl thirsty...


...and hungry...

...and makes me hungry too!!

I managed to escape many of mommy's pictures today because I was running around with my friend Abigail!

Daddy's team played great!!

But, he was happy when the game was over, because he got to hang out with us.


Lola always laughs the biggest for Daddy.

I thought grown ups never got to have fun... but apparently rugby players still get to act like kids some times. It was mustache day at the field so daddy dressed up - doesn't he look funny?

Saint Patrick's Day

We of course wore green for Saint Patrick's day!! And, of course mom made us take pictures - again. She has to take pictures of everything!! She says that someday we will appreciate it, but right now it just gets in the way of our playing.



This is my new shirt that Auntie Courtney bought me. I think it is so cute! It reminds me of pigeon in the "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus" books. Plus the pigeon looks crazy - just like me!



Lola had a special outfit for Saint Patricks day. It was covered in shamrocks.


And here is Lola proving what mommy always says... that she doesn't like toys and always plays with things that she isn't supposed to have. In this case, at least she is carrying it with the points down - she is such a smart girl.



Lola was not at all interested in taking these pictures. She was ready for her bath. Mommy tried anyway.

She did a little bit better when mommy let her hold Dora - but not much!
