Grandpa Heaton & Lily

Lasagna & Jamie's Birthday

Today we went over to my parents' house for some yummy lasagna. On Wednesday, my brother turns 34. So, we sorta celebrated his birthday. Next Sunday we are all going out to the Olive Garden. It was a beautiful fall day today. I can't believe the weekend is over already.

Anson heads to Toledo for the day tomorrow. He is getting up early at about 5:30 and will be home tomorrow evening. Right now, Lily is upstairs screaming while her daddy is giving her a bath. Then we're going to go watch the "Bridge to Terabithia." The last two nights Lily has been up until 12:30 or 1:00. I hope tonight goes better. We aren't sure why she wouldn't sleep. Fingers crossed that she'll sleep tonight.

Grandma Cross spoiled Lily by buying her this adorable little cheerleader outfit. She'll probably wear this for Halloween too! Thank you Grandma Cross! She's the cutest little peanut if I can say so myself! Gawd I love her!

Is it July again?

Can you believe this weather? It's really nice but a little too hot for me, Anson and even Lily. This weekend was a busy one as Anson's parents were up for another visit. It was a really nice time. Saturday morning, his parents came over for breakfast then we went shopping in the afternoon. Later that evening we headed over to Anson's grandma's to visit with her and Uncle Larry.

Sunday morning the guys went golfing while the girls and the dogs went to the park. That was an adventure. Sampson is so big and so strong and such a puppy that he dragged us both around that park. At one point, we decided to go take a shortcut since we were getting tired. Well, big mistake because Sampson found some mud to roll around in. He got out of his harness and laid in the mud puddle. I could hardly move him. It was quite an adventure. When I finally did get him up, he shook off and got mud all over me and Mom. We all needed a bath when we were done. Mom and I washed Sampson on the porch when we got home.

Later that day, we went out on Jeremy's boat. It's really nice. But, we went out on Portage Lakes and there aren't many places you can go fast on those lakes. It's almost all a no wake zone. So, it was really hot and there wasn't much shade. Poor Lily had a hot life jacket on. She did really well considering.

Then last night we ordered pizza and hung out at Jeremy's. The weekend was good, but it was busy and went by really fast. Monday already.

Captain Babe!
The real captain, Jeremy
Do you see that low bridge behind Anson and Dad? We went under that!!! It was a tight fit and we actually had to duck.

Splish, Splash...

Lily's taking a bath! Lily loves her bath. She enjoys the water. Every evening Anson or I (we take turns) give her a bath. It helps calm her down before bed. She gets a lotion massage before her jammies. She's one spoiled turkey!

ooohhhh....

All shampooed up!

It looks like she has teeth in this picture!

Lily with her new Rae Rae Rabbit that she got after her 4 month check-up and those awful shots.And of course, our other baby, Sampson. He's such a cutie too. Anson put up a baby gate so that he can be outside on the porch during the day. We used to keep him in the yard but he ate too much dirt and tried to dig a hole to China. Only problem now is he's been chewing on the wooden spindles. We can't win!
