Wheel Barrow Rides with Grandpa!

I took the girls over to play in the yard at Mesha's new house and grandpa thought it would be fun to have wheel barrow rides. Lucy was being onery and wouldn't try, but Lydia had a blast!

What is on my head mom?

This is not right mom! Pants don't go on my head!

This is how Lucy and Lydia play together.

Lucy holds up the box and Lydia smashes her face into it and they both think it's hillarious!

Happy First Birthday Lydia!

Lydia was VERY interested in the cupcakes on the table. But once she got one on her tray she didn't know what to do with it. She just kept leaning into it trying to get a bite without her hands. Mike finally helped her by just shoving it in her face. She thought that was pretty funny! Then she was all over it. Lucy helped us sing happy birthday to her. Then she didn't know what to do with the present either, but once we got it out and put together she liked it.

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?
