June - Summertime!!

Summer in our house starts with the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Country Fair!

That's Olivia and Daddy in the boat - Olivia loves it and Daddy hates it!

Summer also means golfing with Dad.

This is Daddy's broken Father's Day present.  Olivia found this trophy at Target and begged me to buy it for her daddy.  I relented and she was so excited.  She hid it under her bed in anticipation.  Well Sunday morning on Father's Day rolled around and guess what?  The trophy was broken.  So we had to pile into the car and go to Target to purchase another one!  Then we went to Spauldings to get Daddy some of his favorite treats and served him breakfast in bed.  The trophy has a place of honor on the bureau in our bedroom of course :)

The girls love playing in the sprinkler during the summer!

My bathing beauties!

This year we also participated in the Wild Hearts 5K Fun Run as part of Team Rex for our good friends the Martin family.  Such a fun time!

My cheering section :)  Olivia is pretty happy with her snow cone but Lilly is clearly upset about something.  That's how things roll around here...

May Part Deux - Talk Derby To Me!, Team Lilly Presents Painting with a Purpose, Spring Weather and Field Day, Little Gym Recital and Great Strides

Just a few pics from a small Derby party we hosted this year - so much fun!

Our Painting with a Purpose fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was a hit!  The event was a sell-out and we raised approximately $700 to donate to the CFF on behalf of Team Lilly - way to go everyone!  It was also a great time with friends and family - I hope to make this one a tradition.

Mary was our first door prize winner :)

Ellen and Laura won door prizes as well!

The instructor painted the red lily as well and had everyone who participated sign the back of the painting and gave it to me - so very nice!  I am holding my painting - not to shabby for an amateur!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support us!

My Chi-O sisters - don't know what I would do without them.

May also brings beautiful playground weather and field day.  Love these two photos of my girls :)

Some pictures of Lilly's recital at the Little Gym.  She is growing up so fast and loves her gymnastic classes.

My baby has NO fear!

We ended the month with our annual participation in Great Strides.  Everyone was so supportive this year and once again Team Lilly raised over $8,000.00 to help find a cure for CF.  The Lexington Great Strides Walk raised approximately $30,000.00!!  I couldn't be happier or more appreciative!  Thank you again for your support!

Darin and Jacob

These girls had so much fun!

Bobbi and the girls :)

Uncle Rusty finally made it this year!

Thelma and Max come out every year, rain or shine - thank you!

The Chi-Os and their brood

Uncle Chris always brings a crowd

Somehow I was roped into speaking - of course, I cried.  Hoping to avoid this next year...

Thomas and Dorothy Claire run every year - they put the rest of us to shame :)
