What a Weekend!!!

Cute Aubrey

Lydia enjoyed coloring she starting to make her own creations.  I'm sure she will be drawing bugs soon. She always wants me to draw them for her.

Loving the swing

We had a fun get a way to Les and Cameron's in Ogden.  We realized we are only about two and half hours away. It was so fun to see Aubrey she is growing so much.  Lydia enjoyed swimming and playing on two different playgrounds.  She liked coloring and also getting together with the Aunts and Uncles and Cousins.
It was fun for us to relax and just enjoy the freedom from our obligations.

Toe nails and Sun Shine

It was a warm sun shinny Sunday.  It been in the 70's the past couple days. We wore our sandals to church.   Last night I thought I would paint my finger nails. I have probably painted them a total of five times since Lydia has been born.  She already knows what the polish is for and sat still for me while I painted her nails. There is nothing like little toe nails and finger nails with polish.  It is so cute to me.  She loves to show them off.  Her toes were so cute with her sandals. She likes clothes and my makeup but she is not into princesses yet.  I am sure down the road.  I just let her be a girl and get dressed up probably because I like that too.  She will still be wild with the boys though especially her cousins.  She is pretty tough too.  It is so fun to watch and play with her as she grows up.

She started singing more songs.  She sings the chorus of " I am a Child of God."  She has a hard time in nursery but she likes the singing time.  She likes to play in the fridge.  This gets a bit tiresome, but it is cute when she opens it and says,  " Umm " like she is trying to decide what to choose. She also started saying num for yummy when she likes certain foods.  She loves anything to do with Grandpa and Grandma.  (I know a lot of the reason is cause we video call Grandma and Grandpa Dalton). I will just say," Let's take a picture for Grandma"  or lets do this or that for Grandma and she will quickly obey.  I don't do that too often, but she love her grandparents.  When we were walking outside today to go to church and she said go and grandma.  I think she wanted to go and see grandma.  We will have to visit all her grandmas. 

We are having.........

A boy!! We are excited!  It will be an adventure to have a little boy and try to keep up with two children.  Lydia loves babies.  She is always pretending things about babies.  She says the word baby several times a day.  She likes to rock and dress her baby dolls.   She will be a  good little helper.

Happy Easter!!

We went on a small easter egg hunt.   Lydia enjoyed finding the eggs and towards the end picked out some I didn't even see.

What a cute face. Huh?

Going for the egg.

Walking towards Dad.

Conference weekend was great.  We enjoyed the talks.  Lydia  can pick out the prophet and enjoyed the music. She would dance to the music. She knew that the speakers were talking and I think that she could tell that we were listening. Towards the end of the Saturday, about halfway through the last sessions, she kept folding her arms wanting to say the prayer and be done.  She is so smart.  She likes to say amen and will often listen to the prayers to know when the end is coming.  It was so neat to hear all the talks on parenthood and motherhood.   It renewed the will for me to do better and to keep a perspective on building an eternal family.

In the last week or so she has learned who Curious George is. When counting to ten she will say the number nine. She right now likes the letter W, and will say it as I sing the ABC's.  She also knows the letter O and E. She is so much fun and keeps us busy and working to be better everyday.  

This Thursday we are so excited to find out if we are having a boy or girl.  It will be fun to know what we are having as long as he or she corporates.
