Saints vs. Cowboys

As Robert is gearing up for the football season he has been asking Lilly to repeat some phrases like "Who Dat" and "Go Saints." He has also been teaching her some other phrases regarding a Dallas football team as well. If you don't know already, Robert is a New Orleans Saints fan and he despises the Cowboys. His mom, however, LOVES the Cowboys so you can expect there might be some tension if her granddaughter is saying negative things about her favorite team. After Church today we were on our way home and Lilly said "Go Away Cowboys" (one of the phrases Robert has been teaching Lilly). Well the next thing I hear is my mother-in-law saying "Robert we need to have a talk." It was pretty comical to listen to. Sorry Ann but I think Lily is destined to be a Saints Fan. You might have to convert your football love to another team and cheer for the Saints. know I am stretching that statement a little but a girl can only ask to keep the peace. :)

Recently Lilly has been making these crazy "surprised" expressions. Robert and I love them!
 I know I keep saying this but I think this is my favorite age right now. She is so much fun and full of personality. Yes she has her moments, but hey us adults do too right. :) In all seriousness, Lilly is such a good natured girl. We are so very blessed. 

Thanks Gram for my new dress!

I Want Go To Church


I love when we get Lilly into a routine especially when it involves going to Church. On Sunday we got Lilly dressed and ready for Church, fed her and made sure she was a happy camper while Robert and I got ready ourselves. Well this past Sunday Lilly was very vocal about leaving and expressed to us that she was ready to go to Church. Hey I don't mind at all being rushed by this sweet baby girl if she is eager to go Praise God. Just melts my heart to hear those words come out of her mouth. I think this is one of my favorite videos.




Have I mentioned that Lilly LOVES puzzles. She has mastered all the puzzles I have bought her thus far. Her favorite thing to do is hand you all the pieces and she will instruct you where to put them (usually it is on your leg as shown below).



The Gold Cup game was on Sunday afternoon and while daddy was studying for his finals so Lilly and I left the house to visit T and Unc. 

Lilly Loves her Unc


This child is a bottomless pit when it comes to chips. So is mommy. :)


GO USA!!!


Lilly was getting a little restless at the restaurant so we returned home and enjoyed our front row seats to watch the game. She dragged her chair in front of the TV and started watching. I was fast enough to take a photo because she didn't stay seated for long.





 This was a very busy school week for Robert with two finals and a presentation. He did great on all his exams and Lilly and I are so PROUD of him. Thank you Robert for being a great daddy and making time for family while working full time and going to school full time. Only one more year to go. You got this!!! We love you!
