LILLIAN IS 15!!

Lillian was born September 3, 1996 at 6:46pm in Safford, AZ.  She is our 4th baby, and she has been a pure delight since this day!

I cannot believe that my Lilly Bug is 15!  Where has time gone?  It's been 15 years of sweet bliss. That's what life with Lillian is.  She is such a joy and such a good girl.  She loves her family so much and she wants to do anything to help them be happy.  Lillian is a giver.  She never does anything without making sure that it effects someone in a positive way.  She loves hanging out with her brothers and sisters, and she loves to laugh at the silly things that they do.  She loves to cook and learn anything to do with homemaking.  She loves to find new recipes and try them out.  She is a crafty queen.  She loves to make head bands, and flowers to enhance the beauty of the hair.  She has a knack for style.  She loves to shop and she loves to take her time doing it.  She loves to look nice.  She loves photography and she is very creative with it.  She even has her own photography blog.  We went to Utah and we all saw the same things, but when I looked at Lillian's pictures I saw our vacation in a whole new way.  Lillian is so funny when she is hot.  She gets very aggravated.  Not mad just aggravated.  Whoever is near her knows to fan her with the nearest plate or paper or anything that will give her some quick air.  Lillian just earned her Young Woman Recognition Award.  She got it when she was 14.  The thing is, is that she loved every value that she worked on, and she really wanted to improve in all of the areas of her life.  She has such a strong, beautiful testimony.  The great thing about Lillian is she lives her testimony.  She loves, loves, loves.  She wants to serve and please, and she enjoys it when she sees that the things she did made someone else happy.  She loves the Lord, and it shows by how she treats others.  She is a freshman this year and LOVES high school.  She is blossoming there.  She loves her classes and she works hard, she knows the value of hard work in school.  She loves Seminary.  She meets her friends at the Seminary building everyday and they eat lunch together.  She has a great group of friends.  Lillian is a pure joy.  We are so blessed to have her as a part of our family.

Lillian likes to follow crafty blogs, and on one she learned how to make cool shirts so she taught everybody how to do it.

One of Lillian's receipe creations, it's a double layer chocolate cake made from scratch!

These girls were watching "Singing In The Rain" and it just happened to start pouring in the desert, so they couldn't help themselves, they had to play.

 Lillian bought Corbin from Allison.  She has been saving her money for  a long time and has enough, to buy a used car.  Allison was selling hers, and Lillian has loved it for a long time, so it all worked.  So even though Lillian is only 15 she owns her own car.
