Play Time

Lydia LOVES playing with this little cart we have. She'll walk behind it...

stand on it and scoot around on it.
And when I take pictures of Lydia, Lucy has to be in on the action.

Pre-Birthday party at G&G Collier's house

We had a dinner for Lydia and my birthdays last Sunday. Grandma gave Lydia this cute little chair and the ball (her favorite kind of toy). They were a hit! Lydia sat in the chair the rest of the night and most of the next day. Thanks Grandma!

Play Ball!

Lucy got a "special" ball, as she calls it, and we played outside at Grandma Mathis' house. She was really worried about bugs though. She'll say bugs are our friends, but then if one gets too close to her she freaks out. Then Lydia didn't know how she felt about the grass. This is because we don't get to play outside at our apartment, so when we do get out side, it's a new experience every time.

Dancing Princesses

Laken came and played at our house (house meaning tiny apartment) and brought a spare princess dress for Lucy to wear. They had a blast!

Mother's Day?

Ya, mother's crappy day! Lucy was up ALL night the night before barfing. None of us got any sleep except Lydia, who was oblivious to it all. We were all so tired on Sunday that we had breakfast, except for Lucy(yummy waffles made by Mike), then took naps. We didn't go to church cuz Lucy was still sick and we were all so tired. Thank goodness that the men in the ward took over primary so I didn't have to teach. Lydia is getting teeth and has been quite onery.

The day wasn't all bad though. We visited grandmas and got to see cousins and talk to Caleb. He gave me an authentic Mexican receipe that I'm going to try. But, needless to say, I was reminded that I was a mother. How can you enjoy the good if you don't experience the bad, right? So I guess it made me grateful for the good days.


Happy Mother's Day to all! Next year I'll make sure I get pampered. :0)

LOOK AT HER GO!!!!

Lydia is the fastest crawler I've ever seen. She can walk, but why bother when she can get there so much faster by crawling?

Little Lidy

What a cute little girl. She's growing so fast.

Happy Birthday Mom!

This is the birthday card Lucy colored for me.

Then she kept singing "HaBirthday to you" all day.
What a cutie!

"I often go walking in meadows of clovers..."

It may not be clovers, but we love the weed field behind our apartment. (Only because it's not my yard that they are blowing seeds into) Lucy loves to pick the "flowers." I though it was a good photo op! (I'm such a nerdy mom!)

Rocken' with Dad!

Mike uses these headphones so that he can study at home while us girls make a ruckus in the front room. The girls think it's so cool to listen to Dad's music before he gets going on his studies."Yah!"
