Birthdays and Waterfalls, Pumpkins and PONIES!

This last Sunday, we went to Apple Hill to help my cousin Frankie (Francesca) celebrate her 18th birthday! There was cupcakes and waterfalls, pumpkin patches, caramel apples, Mommy and MarMar, Sarah and Tony, Grandma and of course Frankie and Aunt Carolyn.  Paige and Aunt Vickie were there, too.  Did I mention the ponies?  OMG, I love ponies!   I had so much fun!

Here's the Birthday Girl!  Happy Birthday, Frankie!

Mommy and me enjoying the moment.

Mommy, Frankie, Jasmine (the furry one) and me by the waterfall.

MarMar and I liked the water wheel.  Oompah says he likes this picture a lot.

MarMar, quit taking pictures!  Let's get on with the party!  But then again, Oompah says he loves this picture, too!

Well, here we are in the pumpkin patch.  As you can see, I was having a great time.  Would you believe I lifted these pumpkins and put them in place for this picture?  Would you like to buy some prime real estate in the Florida marshlands?

This was my first choice.......

...but I settled for this one.

And then I rode a pony, which just wasn't the same as...........

The real thing!  I actually got a 2nd ride without MarMar walking next to me.  The horse's name, by the way, is "Cowboy." When talking about me in this picture, you can call me 'Cowgirl Lily.'  If you want to.  Otherwise, 'Princess Lily' will do just fine.

All in all, I had such a great day!  When I woke up Monday morning, I guess I had been dreaming so much about what a great day I had that I told Mommy all about it again, just to remind her that she "done good" with this trip!

A Star is Born!

I went for pizza and karaoke tonight with Mommy.  I was a little hesitant at first, but I had a big finish. "A is for Apple", you know.  Oompah couldn't embed the video for some reason, so here's the link to my YouTube video.  Enjoy!

Oompah's cracking up!

Since my last post, I haven't seen Oompah much because he works far away and is gone for a week at a time, so Mommy sends him pictures of me.  He says he can't stop laughing!  I don't know why! I'm just a normal girl doing what girls do!  Take a look!

I drink coffee (actually, it's a diluted chocolate milk, but I don't really know any better)



I visit friends on their birthdays (Happy Birthday, Luke!)

I help Mar-Mar with minor repairs around the house (Here I am helping to fix Grandma Patty's sewing machine--"Hey Mar-Mar!  Hold the light steady, please!")

I even take baths every night!  Whether I'm at the cabin.........

...or at home. (Like my hair?  I just washed it and can't do a thing with it!)

Ok, Ok, every once in a while I cut loose and put parmesan cheese on my head.  What girl doesn't?

See you next time!  ;-)
