Sourpuss?

While out to eat recently, Lydia decided to try a lemon! Her responses were adorable!

Lydia's Playdate!

Lydia had her first official playdate a couple weeks ago. All of her friends came and played in our backyard. They had fun eating, playing in the water and the sand! Us mommies had fun too just relaxing and watching the kiddos! Summers are the best!

Cornflake fun!

While we were doing dishes, Lydia decided to have her own fun! She got into the cupboard and helped herself to the cornflakes!

my newest toy...

Well it's been discovered since Lydia started walking that she loves to play in dirt. If we are outside that's where she heads... to the dirt. So.... while at a recent yard sale I found a $7 sandbox (originally $50) and bought some sand for $6! Now Lydia has a new outdoor toy that she loves! The pictures prove it! Tonight when I took her out, I couldn't even keep her out of it long enough to put the lid on it. She kept crawling back in while I turned to get the big lid. It was quite humorous!

Buddies!!!

Sadie is turning into quite the watchdog. She loves Lydia and watches out for her! Here she is on-duty while Daddy plays piano and while Lydia gets into things!

Pow Wow 2009

On Saturday, July 18th we took Lydia on one of her first cultural field trips. We went to the Pow Wow. It was pretty neat!!

Improving the fire pit

After visiting some great fire pits recently, Chad decided that ours needed to be revamped. He got to work early this morning and accomplished a lot! All the stones were gathered from the creek. He is so careful but so creative. It looks wonderful! Lydia had fun helping as well! Thanks Chad! Now, all that is missing is our friends and family. If anyone wants to relax by the fire and eat some s'mores and camp pies, come on over! We love to have company!
