LYLA IS THREE MONTHS OLD!!!

As I told you all in my Thanksgiving post, Lyla is now officially three months old! She is growing up so fast. She now weighs 12 pounds and 5 ounces. She smiles all the time and has discovered her hands. I just fall in love with her more and more each day! I will attach her three month picture!

THE MOST THANKFUL DAY OF THE YEAR

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! I hope that everyone who follows my blog had an AMAZING Turkey day! This is such a wonderful day to sit and really think about what we are thankful for. But we really should be thankful everyday huh? The Bible says, "in everything give thanks..." I just wanted to let you all in on what I am most thankful for. First off, I am thankful for my Mom, Dad, and all my crazy siblings! =D I am also thankful for my beautiful house and my adorable Billy! But most importantly, I am thankful that God chose me to be the mother of my beautiful daughter Lyla Jayne Cosgrove. That is what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving. I love you all! Happy Thanksgiving!

FIRST OFFICIAL WINTER STORM

When I woke up this morning it was pouring! I know that it is Thanksgiving tomorrow and all, but I am so thankful for the rain! (no pun intended) Our dry Arizona soil really needs it. Here are some pictures of the storm from our back and front yards. It kind of looks like tornado weather! YIKES!!!

A TIME TO BE SILLY

I thought that you all would enjoy seeing what Alexa, Lyla, and I do in our spare time. We don't have TV remember? So we took some silly pictures instead. I hope they make you laugh, because we had a blast creating them!!!

Ummm...Please don't ask...

ALEXA'S 2008 VOLLEYBALL BANQUET

Tonight was Alexa's end of the season banquet for volleyball. It was an awards night/pot-luck dinner. It was quite an enjoyable time. Alexa had many good things said about her from her coach and friend Kristi Hopkins. However, Alexa did not win the MVP award which everyone though she deserved, but she is being a good sport about it, and is happy for the girl who won it. For anyone who doesn't know, Alexa is an AMAZING volleyball player!!! She will always be an MVP in my book! Great job Lexy!

This is Alexa's official volleyball certificate

The team made these "volleyballs" and had them all up on the wall. I think they are really neat!

Alexa hugging her coach. Sorry for the bad picture quality, there was really bad lighting in the cafeteria.

Last but not least, Lexy posing for a shot with her daddy! He is so proud of her!!!
