Typical Pic

This is a typical shot we get of Lydia or her nose is two inches from the camera :) Here she is holding her swimsuit and swim diaper because she LOVES to go swimming!

Lydia loves to eat. She ate two whole ears of corn this day. She has recently gotten her second haircut (bangs only). She also has 16 teeth!

Cousins

We visited Catherine, Justin, Gabriel and Sasha (the dog) in Lufkin. They have a great house and new life there. Lydia likes her cousins and has a new boy cousin named Jonathon on Mom's side-Jessamy & Bill's son born on 8-8-08, and we look forward to visiting them in Garland soon.
Lydia also really likes puppies. She enjoyed saying, "NO, Sasha." when she jumped and Caleb taught her to say, "Mommy, I want a puppy." Maybe in five years kid....... :)

First Snowcone

On our trip to Port Arthur (a family mission trip that was hot and inspiring) Lydia got to try her first snowcone, unlike ice cream, she didn't really like it so Elizabeth got to finish it off. Elizabeth likes snowcones :)

4th of July Weekend!

We spent the 4th of July at the Boyd's home and had the traditional picnic. Lots of family and friends from both sides came.




Lydia had a lot of fun in the tent with Grandpa and then the
other kids.


March of the Flags!


Uncle Bill was the Pied Piper for all the kids and fireworks.


Rosie (the dog) wanted to get in and cool off too.


Pregnant sister-in-laws! Jessamy is due beginning of Aug.

Getting Dirty!

Good thing Mom & Dad know getting dirty is part of having fun and growing up.
Pics-it finally rained and we forgot the cover to the sand box.
I love lasagna.
Painting at a friend's birthday party.

Family Tree

During girls time with Carrie and Alisa, Alisa painted this awesome tree on "baby sister's" wall. Some of it is still a work in progress (we need younger, black and white photos, and there are a couple of holes, a B&L pic of Lydia) but I am very excited with the Family tree!
