Oma is here!!!

Oma arrived a couple of days ago, here are some of the photos to document our exciting time hgetting her all the way from denver. it was a there and back, because I have been sick and Oma was sick too.. Luckily lilja did great driving in the car so much and so fast.. ( speedlimit, i promise ) The photos are a little jumbled , not sure why..

Lilja found oma, and Oma found Lilja.. she was so excited.. Lilja I mean, or actually Oma I mean ;)

Glad I took one more.. so cute to see Lilja really give a hug.. those a precious and she reserves them for only a few.



I had to take care of JT the day we got back, so to make it a calm day we ended up at the river.. JT is so cute with Lilja and helped her  down the river .



JT bought some goggles.. the only thing I can say about this picture MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO!!

SUSHI!!! ofcourse with Oma, and ofcourse WITH lilja!!! she eat me out of my money!!



when we waited for Oma to arrive we ended up at a splash pad to cool off.. right up Lilja's ally!




loving the water



and a carousel, to grab some good shoes for Lilja at a stride rite store.. Sneakers and you will laugh.. yes some sparkily Hello Kitty shoes. I told her she could chose the second pair.. they are cute, but oh so sparkily!!

Long story short. Lilja and I were at a not so wonderful hotel the night we arrived.. I did not want my mom to join us at that one, so i splurged and we got to stay at the Cambria suites at the airport!! The heaven doors opened when we walked in!! Lilja said Mom this is a clean hotel!!"

we even had a little living room. To save a little money we got cheese, crackers, salmon and wine for dinner and bought some breakfast stuff for the morning. We left right away early as the air was pretty bad from all the fires. Lilja was just so excited and just wanted to be with Oma.. everything was Oma this, listen to this oma, and Oma look!!! poor Oma, but when I look at her face (Oma's ) she is in heaven!!

Super hero lilja!!!

Just to explain my laughing so hard at the end.. Zip it.. in our family means to be quiet for a minute.. it is kind of a joke in the house.. as you realize, quiet is not a norm in this house.. but too funny she took it so literally, or actually i was using the the wrong word ;)

water fight... with bubbles??

JT was at our house and wanted to have a water fight. Lilja was game and got a full on shot right off the bat.. but let me tell you, Lilja turned around and  whammy.. she got him good.. JT did not like that very much so they decided to have a water fight with the bubble machine.. the machine automatically blows lots of bubbles .. everywhere!! 



watch out JT retaliation is a ..... 



They ganged up on the bubble machine..

look at the intensity

I think the bubble machine is winning!

she 

so fun!!!

this weekend

Still not feeling a 100 % so we did not do very much this weekend. Lilja, I think, is enjoying just staying home for a little while, eventhough she does not understand that i can't pick her up.. (My body just hurts) so we asked her what she wanted to do as a family.. her choice.. she said the "Bead" museum. That is the museum in Ignacio that has a teepee and you can make necklaces.. she just loves it there.. too funny!



found lilja all dressed up this morning.. recognize the outfit??




Lilja  in the teepee. she loves it because " it was really petty"



the water features outside are perfect in the warm weather.. yes, Lilja got soaked, OFCOURSE!!

I just love the architecture of the entrance

sick momma and Lilja!!

Handsome daddy and Lilja..Oh yes, she got wet!!!

Night night song

sorry for all these videos, been stuck in the house with pneumonia.. so my voice sounds pretty bad.. Lilja on the otherhand has done amazing taking care of me.. Ready to feel better and venture out.
here is the cutest video of Lilja.. and yes, she does this every night.. Sorry that it is dark, but I think it is the song you need to hear anyway ;)

Hopscotch

Love watching Lilja try to jump one one leg.. she was so excited.. We got this game at a garage sale, best two dollars I spent yet ;)

No bathroom rhymes

Ok this is our new game.. and she was starting to say lots of words right after eachother, thus the overload joke.. Daddy started the "bathroom" words and Lilja offered her amazing parenting style.. I had to coach her into saying it one more time.. Just a day in the life of the Johnsons :)
