Olympics!

As you know, the Olympics took place this summer in London.

To celebrate, we had an opening ceremony party at my parents' house.

I made Olympic brownies.

Nothing fancy for this Momma...

now that's weird to say!

We were supposed to dress up.

This is the best we could do.  

Lydia's cute dress is from Aunt Heather.

Ashley was all decked out, and Jessica was a runner.

Lydia was a bit fiesty during the party, as you can see. 

Josiah loving his cousin.

And the best dressed award, hands down,

went to Josiah and Caleb

the Olympic swimmers! 

Cousinly Love!

Have I mentioned how much Josiah and Caleb love Lydia?

It is soooo cute!

They always want to hold her, pat her, and kiss her!

They also love to take care of her.

Here she is with the added touches of a flower on her shirt

and a headband on her head.

ha! 

Andrew & Chelsea's Wedding!

When Lydia was three weeks old,

we headed down to Louisiana for Joel's brother's wedding.

It was another loooong trip, but Lydia did great!

Lydia got all dressed up for the wedding but wasn't too happy about getting her picture taken.

The wedding was at an old cotton mill, which was pretty cool! 

Everything was decorated very cute-ly! 

It was very hot outside!

Lydia cried through the whole rehearsal, but she slept through the wedding.

What a relief! 

The Habermas brothers! 

It was a beautiful wedding

and one of the best ceremonies I've ever been to! 

Cutting the cakes! 

So cute! 

Andrew drew this for Chelsea. Wowsers!!!

Joel made this for one of their wedding gifts: 

Those Habermas boys are talented I tell ya!

(Thought I better put that since I am over a month behind on my blogging.)

Nertz!

Back when I was pregnant, especially during the last week,

I would go to camp and play Nertz with Jessica and Rebecca.

It was lots of fun!

One day, after Lydia was born, Josiah decided that Lydia wanted to play cards too.

I looked over and saw this: 

hahaha!

Luau!

During the last week of camp,

the staff had a luau at the pool.

Lydia didn't like being quite so hot,

but we had to get her in that cute suit! 

Aunt Jessica is really good at getting Lydia to relax!

During our first week at home (after the beach trip), 

I would sometimes think to myself, "if only Jessica was here!" 

Future CSBC camper! :)  

Maybe she'll learn to swim in this pool, just like I did!

Great Grandaddy!

We got to visit Kingsport a couple times this summer.

Once was to celebrate my grandparents 84th and 89th birthdays!

This is my Grandaddy!

And sadly, this is the only picture I took.

Jessica took more, which I have in print,

but they might never make it into blogland.

Sorry Grandmother!

We sure do love you all and had such a great time visiting you!

Meeting the Traceys!

Dave, Shannon , Jonathan, and Madison came for a couple visits this summer.

Look how incredibly cute this picture is! 

The boys had some fun kayaking in the pool! 

Come back for more fun next week!

(Man, I'm on a roll!)
