Making Faces.

Ways to know Lilly has been here...

Elmo calling!

When Elmo calls, we always answer.

...for it's root root root for the Rangers.

Ever since the first game, Lils has talked about going to the "Rangers" ever since. One day she was walking around with a play purse and I asked her where she was going. She said, "to see the Rangers play!". I told her we couldn't go because we didn't have tickets. She then proceeded to reach into her play purse and pull out some play money. "I have tickets right here, mommy!". So we figured it was time for a repeat. My dad has season tickets so we decided to add on a few tickets and we would go. He had to trade his in for seats all together but other than that, it wasn't a problem. This time daddy would get to go and we would get to see the jumbotron. So fun. This time, we lasted all the way to the 7th inning stretch. I wanted us to stay long enough to sing her new favorite song. She was not ready to leave but all of us were tired and it was past her bedtime. So we said goodbye to the rangers and were on our way.

Year three.

What a difference a year makes.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Lil's first baseball game happened in June. We had seats right behind the bull pen. It was a shaded area and it was down low. Only big problem, it was directly under the jumbotron, so she didn't get to see that. She enjoyed watching the "boys throw the ball" and play but she got bored pretty quickly and she only stayed through three innings.
Grandpa had the best time showing her the ropes at the game. They ate cotton candy and ice cream and had an awesome time.

Just for the record:

I interviewed Lil on her birthday and asked her a few questions (21 to be exact!) and here are her answers:

1. What is your favorite color?  blue
2. What is your favorite toy? my princess shoes (she had them on at the time!)
3. What is your favorite fruit? strawberries (true.   In the past few months, she has stopped eating watermelon and blueberries.  Not sure why)
