New Hat!

Shannon passed down this cute little hat to Lydia.

It worked great, 

and she actually kept it on her head!

Lydia LOVES to eat watermelon!  

Happy weekend everyone!  

Camping!

We went camping with the Shibleys a couple weeks ago.

Here is the inside of our tent:

Don't be fooled...

Lydia did NOT stay in her nice little bed.

She rolled around on me all night long.  :)

Here is Caleb showing off our tent,

as he makes a funny face

and drains a big bag of chips!

Oh yes, and we were camping in my parents' yard!  ha!

Josiah took this picture of Lydia in the tent.  hee hee

We had a great time!

Strawberries!

Jessica has a spectacular garden growing this year!

A while back Lydia and I went over to visit, 

and we ate strawberries the whole time we were there!

Yum!

What Will It Bee?

Our friend Amanda is having a baby in October, 

and she had a bee themed gender reveal party.

Lydia dressed up to be the mascot.  :)

And the exciting news....

she's going to have a GIRL!

Yay for a new friend for Lydia!

Happy Father's Day!

I know three of the best!!!

Welcome home, Jace!

My sister's fiance is coming home from India today!

Yay!!!

We are so looking forward to spending time with you two lovebirds! :)

One!

I took these pictures a few weeks ago

to use on Lydia's birthday party invitations.

Her party is coming up soon, 

and we have a lot to do to get ready!!!

I cannot believe my little baby is almost one!!!

Kitchen Tile!

Joel has been hard at work in our kitchen laying a new tile floor!

It has been a LOT of work!

Hopefully, I will be able to show you the "after" pictures soon!

Pool Party!

Lydia's friends came over for a pool party last week.

They had so much fun!

Jabari and Lydia are smiling at each other!  So cute!!!

The girls gave each other toys the whole time.

It was sweet!  :)

Who's coming over for the next party? 

Green Beans!

We got to go visit Grandmother, Grandaddy, and Aunt Faye a couple weeks ago.

We had a blast, but I forgot to take any pictures.

You probably know that I LOVE my grandmother's green beans!!!

Well, she sent me home with the leftovers, 

and if you can believe it, I shared with Lydia.

She loves them too!

That's a happy baby!

I realize that I've posted about 200 pictures of Lydia alone this week.

I'll try to post something besides her face next week.

We'll see how that goes.  :)

11 Months!

Lydia is 11 months old now!  

Here is my favorite picture:

1st birthday fun is coming up soon!

Lydia!

Here are just a few pictures that I took of Lydia the other day.

I was really taking pictures for her birthday party invitation,

but I will show you those later.  :)
