Just Chillin'

Just thought I'd put up some random pictures of both of Phillips girls. :) We love you!

Cayleigh Dancing. Very graceful, lol!

Just a beautiful shot!

Peek-a-boo!

Mommy Attack!!!

Just playin' around :)

Another cute close-up :)

And another. :)

Easter!

This was Cayleigh's first Easter! I was so excited to do all the things for her that my parents did for Daniel and I when we were kids (and continue to do for us as adults!). I took lots of pictures to remember the day with, and here are a select few of them. We decided to do Easter dinner at my parents house on Saturday night with my brother, Shelly (his wife), and my good friend Whitney. We did a fun egg hunt, followed by a delicious dinner and my mother trying to trick Daniel and I into liking something with Coconut for desert. A fruitless effort I might add. Sorry, Mom!
The pictures are in reverse order of events. The pictures of her Easter egg hunting and playing in her cute Easter dress are from Saturday night; the pictures of her in her PJ's playing with what the Easter Bunny brough are from Easter morning with just Mommy. :)

Awwww, sweet hugs on her easter lamb!

Laughing at "Yogi the Easter Bear" playing on dvd.

ARRRRRRRRGGGG, it's CAY-ZILLA!!!!!

I Love You, Mommy!

Rifling through the Easter Basket. The eggs are filled with Cheerios. :)

What did the Easter bunny bring?!

Laughing at Uncle Dan

Chasing Mommy :) And Whitney laughing at us!

SCORE! We're not sure what she scored, but she seems to think that she has!

I finally snapped a shot before she ripped her bunny ears off her head!

Schooling Uncle Dan with her mad Easter egg hunting skills, lol!

Cayleigh with her Manslaves. *Sigh* What will I do with her when she's a teenager?!

Yes, you may have the honor of holding my egg. There, there now, don't gush; you deserve it.

Putting eggs in basket.....taking eggs out basket.....putting eggs in....out...in...out :)D

The first egg! And it rattles!

Isn't she just precious?! She had little pink tights and white patent leather mary janes on to complete the ensemble. :)

Taking Advantage....

Of the nice weather, that is! :) This past week or so we have had amazing weather for Nebraska. Usually March likes to hold out and keep us shivering, but it looks like it gave up early, and Cayleigh and I have been taking full advantage. Except for the day we went to the zoo, we've walked to the parks in our neighborhood everyday to go out and play. Cayleigh loves to ride in her little red wagon with her sun-hat and sippy cup just chattering away at all she sees. These past couple of days I finally remembered to take the camera and get some shots of her exploring the parks. She's grown up so much! She still loves to swing (as pictured below), but she's also enjoying walking around the playground, climbing the stairs, picking at the sand, and sliding down the slides with Mommy. We can't wait for the good weather to set in for good so that we can add swimming to the list of things we love! :)
Analyzing the composition of the playground sand. She seemed to have approved.:)

Yup, we still love swinging!

Exploring the seedy underbelly of the playground.

Laughing at the crazy lady taking her picture. (AKA Mommy)

What do we have here?

SAND!!!

Time to get down and dirty!

Get that camera out of my face, mommy! I'm busy!

Weeeeeeeee!!!

Still Giggling :)

Pretending to be mommy with the big girl water bottle. :)

She might be a botanist..... it didn't take her long to get fixated on the tree.

Exploring the tree :)

Look what I found!

Zoo!

This tuesday my dad (AKA Paw Paw) and I took Cayleigh to the zoo. We went in the morning through the afternoon, and even though it was the first time for both the zoo and missing her morning nap, she did great and we all had an amazing time! She was even walking around and fearlessly exploring her new surroundings. Here's some pics and a video of our trip. :) I hope you all enjoy them!


Walking in the jungle :)

PawPaw helping her rest her legs.

Swinging on a vine like a monkey (with some help from mommy) :)

Lunch!!

Yay! In line for lunch! She knows she's gettin' food!

In utter awe with the shark tank tunnel.

Hydrating in the desert dome.

Discovering new things :)

Picking a pretty flower for mommy. :)

The perfect team (and by team we mean PawPaw does everything Cayleigh wants!)

Learning what tall grass feels like!

Our First stop, the desert dome!


And Finally, a video of Cayleigh in the jungle. :)
