Summer Days

We've been eating a lot of corn on the cob these days and Lydia loves it! I started by cutting it off the cob, but she was much more interested in how Mommy and Daddy were eating it! She will chew on it forever!

We're off to Oak Run for a few days with Grandma....we'll post some new pics when we get back!

Sticker Fun With Mommy

Lydia found some of my gold star stickers from teaching. She had fun, but Mommy got the most laughs. I put them all over her face and she had no clue. Then I took her to the mirror so she could check herself out! She didn't quite know what to think! I'm still finding stickers in interesting places throughout the house!

On another note, Lydia is popping teeth like crazy. She was having some bad diapers and she woke up three times in one week throwing up in her bed. I was getting concerned, and then she popped a tooth through and that was the end of it. Well, it kind of started again a few days later, and Ed found two more that came through. I have no idea how I missed them cause I've been checking daily. That makes 10 teeth!! We'll see how many more we get this next week!!

First Trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago with my sister and Avery, and my sister-in-law and Dylan and Kenzie. We wanted to check out the new Africa exhibit...it was really cool! Lydia is a little young yet to really see and watch all the animals, unless they are big and close. She still had fun though!


Lydia is walking everywhere and finally got another tooth in. She hasn't gotten one in a few months....we are up to 8 now. She really enjoys riding on the four wheeler with Daddy and being pulled around in her new wagon! She started giving hugs and is giving kisses more often too! She has also been a big help in the garden. I pick the beans and put them in the bowl and she throws them out of the bowl and I pick them up again when we're all done! I told her she's going to be helping pick before she knows it!

An Afternoon at Oak Run

We spent July 3 with my family at Oak Run. It was Lydia's first time in a lake and on a boat. As you can see, she loved playing with Daddy in the water and in the sand. Of course Daddy just had to bury her legs. She took it very well! She did like riding in the boat too, but did not want to wear her life jacket and didn't want to sit too much either! Now that she has figured out walking, there isn't much sitting going on around here. She's a busy little girl.

A Ride From Grandpa

Great Grandpa Kamp gave me a ride in my car. He's the best great grandpa ever! I would ride around all day long if someone would just push me!
