last weekend

Wow, this weekend was a whirlwind and on top of it all I got sick ;( But the weekend went something like this. We arrived Friday afternoon to stay at my friends barb house in Louisville near Boulder. Sushi night was the best!! Lilja, mine and barb's favorite!! Then we met jasmin, Lilja's tummy mommy,  for a fun jumping time and some pizza for lunch, then... we met my friend Shawndell to meet little Spirit and then... we ended up at IKEA to buy Lilja's dresser and bed..needless to say I lost my voice and am still sick today .. But still fun!!!  

Arriving at Barbsand trying out her favorite blow-up bed , borrowed from JT.

Miso soup!!! look at that face.. expensive favorite food, girlie!!

Edemame beans.. Lilja will try and POP them out of the shell, with lots of giggles and some lost to our neighbors.. oops :)

Babr and Lilja having awesome icecream... Lilja was so excited and it was already pretty late.. but it was a special night

Lilja could not look up because it was sooo yummy!!

Next morning we met Jasmin (Lilja's tummy mommy) at Monkey Busness. Lilja was so excited to go as we had been there to meet James a month ago. This time she kept doing the circle slide over and over again.

Suddenly we were looking around and could not find Lilja.. yes, she got on top all by herself, daredevil!!

It was such a nice visit. Lilja could play, we could talk , we did some art and then had some lunch.. the biggest and baddest Pizza ever!! never seen a bigger one. Thanks Jasmin for "Goldie" she is a new lovey now.. and LOVE the socks!! Lilja has them in dress up and puts them on all the time. Jasmin, we love seeing you and are so grateful that you are in our lives.  

Ok, then a short visit to meet Shawndell's new baby.. a 5 month old colt named Spirti.. and spirited he was!! so cute!!

Lilja also got to ride Cash again. She just isn't afraid. this time Shawndell was giving her some tips.. She will be moving back to Durango soon, so Lilja will have her own personal trainer!! and shawndell will have a personal cleaner upper. :)e,

I love this photo. She petted him and then just walked away with this huge confidence. wow, she is just growing up so fast. 

The next morning Lilja was helping be deflate my blow-up bed.

So we also went to IKEA this weekend. We got her a reading light..and a new dresser, and another light and, and, and...... The new bed did not fit in my car, (I was very dissapointed to say the least). But a new platform bed with drawers on the bottom is being delivered soon.

The light in the corner is orange but it is hard to see in this picture. It also shows my moms blanket. She made it from all of Lilja's newborn shirts. Lilja calls it her special blanket. and every heart is a person.. so cute and so special!! Thanks mom!

This is her new dresser, it looks smaller than it is. This corner still needs some love.

and her other toys in this corner. She loves to put all her loveys in "the barn" the cube, and plays with her kitchen every day. she is starting to play dress-up and is wearing the Dora dress my sister gave to her almost every day, and... sparkily shoes!! We'll get this room in tip top shape. I love that she now is back in her big room. She actuall asked to sleep in her big room.. she cried one night and said; Momma, I want to sleep in the big room, because i am a big girl now.. and this little room is too dark" . I looked at Lilja and said.. you are right.. let's change it. and Lilja was oh so excited and still is. This was a good move.
