Sunday

Sunday morning we got to go watch Mom teach Sunday School. Lydia loved watching all the kids in the class and coloring with them.

After we were done inside we went out to meet Dad. He drives a golf cart around the parking lot and brings people in.
After nap, we got to get the play dough out that was in Lydia's easter basket. Even Grandpa decided to play with us!
Grandpa also decided to help Lydia color. She loves it when Grandma or Grandpa sit and do things with her.

easter egg hunt and the park

Yesterday afternoon mom wanted to do an easter egg hunt for Lydia. She got very excited when mom started showing her there were eggs hidden in the back yard.After she was done with that, she pulled greandma in her tent to open all the eggs. After dinner we went to another park. This time it was the one was behind mom's school that she teaches at. She had so much fun and I just love this picture of the two of us!

She is really enjoying all the toys that grandma has gotten for her. The playhouse is from when Shelley was little and has everything you can think of to go with it.

Last night before she went to bed she asked for pop corn. It is a strange thing for a 2 year old to ask for but she knew what she wanted. Of course Aunt Stacey and Grandpa didnt complain.

This morning we went to church and watched Grandma with her Sunday School class. I will get the pictures for that later. She is sleeping now, but I am sure there is more fun to come tonight!

Texas trip with Lydia!

Sorry everyone it has been so long since I updated my blog, but I just can't seem to get my internet at home to work long enough to get anything done.

Well, I am now in Texas visiting my parents again but this time I have someone with me. Shannon and Josh went to Colorado for a wedding and Lydia and I decided to take a trip too. I was a little nervous about taking her on the plane (her first time) but she did wonderful. We played with a few small toys, talked about the clouds out the window and watched a movie that put her to sleep for about 45 min.(thank goodness for personal DVD players). Sher was very excited to see Grandma and Grandpa but a little confused at first. Once we showed her all the toys, she was just fine.

We got to have a wonderful steak dinner! It was so nice to have a home cooked meal! Lydia is so cute when she prayes before she eats.

Then Grandma gave her a bath in her big tub. Lydia had so much fun! It was more like a swimming pool for her.

Yesterday (Friday) my Dad took off of work to spend the day with us. We went to breakfast and to his plant to have Lydia meet everyone there. After Mom got home from school we went to The Incredible Pizza Planet for dinner. It was good food and fun games for Lyda.

She was so serious with everything we did. She had fun, but was so interested in what everyone else was doing.

Mom and Dad have a little park right down the street and Lydia loves the swings and slides. We have taken a walk there both nights.

Today we went to the San Antonio zoo. It was so much fun! Lydia loved seeing the animals and we loved watching her!

They had a little petting zoo that let the kids brush and feed the goats. She enjoyed that!

We decided to take an ice cream break. It was so nice to be outside after being in all winter!

She is enjoying having Grandma and Grandpa to play with and get her anything shee wants. I am just afraid she is going to have a hard time going back home to Illinois.

Yes!!! My internet finally worked and it let me download pictures!!! I know they are late, but better late than never .

I love this picture of Lydia!

Mom and Lydia playing with her new play food. She loved the attention!

Me playing with her new "Easy Link". It is the neatest thing

(she will like it a little more when when she gets older)

Bath time!!! I think mom enjoyed it as much as Lydia.

At the Machine Shed for breakfast

It was a great week. We all had so much fun!
