Lydia's Playdate!
Lydia had her first official playdate a couple weeks ago. All of her friends came and played in our backyard. They had fun eating, playing in the water and the sand! Us mommies had fun too just relaxing and watching the kiddos! Summers are the best!
Cornflake fun!
While we were doing dishes, Lydia decided to have her own fun! She got into the cupboard and helped herself to the cornflakes!

my newest toy...
Well it's been discovered since Lydia started walking that she loves to play in dirt. If we are outside that's where she heads... to the dirt. So.... while at a recent yard sale I found a $7 sandbox (originally $50) and bought some sand for $6! Now Lydia has a new outdoor toy that she loves! The pictures prove it! Tonight when I took her out, I couldn't even keep her out of it long enough to put the lid on it. She kept crawling back in while I turned to get the big lid. It was quite humorous!
Buddies!!!
Sadie is turning into quite the watchdog. She loves Lydia and watches out for her! Here she is on-duty while Daddy plays piano and while Lydia gets into things!
Pow Wow 2009
On Saturday, July 18th we took Lydia on one of her first cultural field trips. We went to the Pow Wow. It was pretty neat!!
Improving the fire pit
After visiting some great fire pits recently, Chad decided that ours needed to be revamped. He got to work early this morning and accomplished a lot! All the stones were gathered from the creek. He is so careful but so creative. It looks wonderful! Lydia had fun helping as well! Thanks Chad! Now, all that is missing is our friends and family. If anyone wants to relax by the fire and eat some s'mores and camp pies, come on over! We love to have company!

Summer playdates are the best
On Wednesday July 15th we were invited to our friends, the Kemicks, for lunch and an afternoon swim session. We had so much fun hanging out in the water with our friends. Thanks Amanda for thinking of us!
A new crib!
Lydia's first crib was recalled unfortunately. Which left up with no crib and in a hurry to get a new one. After a lot of research on Daddy's part a few trips to various stores, we found a beautiful crib! Lydia has been in it for a week now and really seems to like. So much so that she likes taking bites out of it! She never bit the old crib once, this one we had up for less than 24 hours and we noticed bit marks! Silly Lydia!
Lydia's Dedication
On July 5th, Lydia was dedicated to the Lord. It was an honor and a privilege to have my dad do the ceremony. Lydia is very loved and had many family members present to show their love and support! Thank you everyone for loving our little girl!
another new development...
Lydia is starting to do all kinds of things by herself. One of her very favorite things to do is feed herself. Even though it is messy, it is so sweet watching her try to do it herself. Our baby girl is growing up so quickly! The bottle is officially gone as well. It was slow going but she seems to be happy with her sippy cup now! Finally!
Playing in the sprinklers
Lydia was invited by some of her friends to go play in the town park sprinklers. Even though the others didn't like it very much, Lydia loved it and kept going back for more. She is such an adventurous child!!
Riding in style
Car Shopping
Lydia decided that she needed a new car. She found just the right one for her at Walmart! Too bad Daddy didn't agree... Test driving it was fun though!
Playing Piano with Daddy
One summer morning I came out into the living room to find Daddy and Lydia playing the piano! It was so cute! It made me wonder what the future might hold for this musical family?!.
Happy 4th of July!
We had a great time visiting Maria's parents over the 4th of July. The true highlight of the trip was the birth of little Anna Grace! She was born on July 1st and is such a cutiepie!! We can't wait to see her and hold her again.
