Morning pick me ups..

When Lydia is especially upset in the mornings...naturally I get upset. It is not every morning thankfully but some mornings when she is not fully awake when she sees me getting ready to leave..she gets really upset. The key is when she sees me pick up my bag..she will sign and say work and then start bawling all while saying "byyyyyyyeeee, byyyyyyeeee" It is heartbreaking. Nonni got a little taste of it this weekend. Lydia did not want her to leave the other day and did the same thing to her. So anyway, knowing that mommy guilt is in high gear, Mark will send little funny pictures of her on my cell phone. Well let me say that he used to. We just found out that sending pictures is not the same as texting and they have been charging us .25 for each one..so I guess he will have to go back to emailing me pictures. So here are a few of my cheer me up pictures.

We had a pretty fun weekend although we have zero pictures to show for it. We took the camera everywhere we went but was just having too much fun to remember to take it out. Saturday Lydia went to Braylon's third birthday part and I went to my future sister in laws bridal shower. I think we do have a few pictures from the birthday party..I will have to post those later. Sunday we went to Wendy and Bryce's for a cook out. Lydia had fun showing off her bubble blowing skills with the bubbles that Wendy bought for her. Then later that evening Miranda, Andrew and Braylon came over to make smores with the fire in our fire pit. It was a great evening to hang out on the porch and play in the yard. Monday we did a bunch of yard work. Mark finished planting his veggie garden and I pulled up some weird plant that was growing wildly in the front of my house. I have been wanting to transplant a rose bush from my grandmothers property to my house. So now I have a place to put it! I am sooo sore today though. After all the yard work, we went down to my parents house for food, drink and horseshoes..again no pictues of that but we had a fun relaxing time. Lydia ended up just spending the night b/c it was so late when we were going to leave and we still had to take Uncle Ouch (Vince) home to Morgantown. Dad was going to babysit the next day anyway so it just made sence.

So we decide to go to Target and Walmart in Morgantown. Vince wanted to look at some tables for my mom and I needed to pick up some stuff for a baby shower and we needed diapers. So going up the hill to Target...Mark gets a speeding ticket!! Let me tell you, we got lucky in the sence that we did not have the right insurance card in the car, I was not wearing my seatbelt and Mark was going 17 miles per hour over the speed limit....I guess the good thing about having two Fords..the cop did not realize that the insurance card was for Ruby not the Escape, never mentioned my seatbelt, and then knocked him down to 29 in a a 25....good thing he did all that work for the county during election time..he will need the extra dough to pay for the ticket!!

Funny Lydia moment, she calls both my brothers Uncle Mike..they do look alike but even when they stand right beside each other she will call them both Mike. But she also will say her name is Cecil if you ask her which is my mothers name. My aunt thought it would be funny to teach her that. So I guess she will take after me in that regard too, I am horrible at remember names. The only other thing she will call Vince is ouch b/c he says ouch when she pulls his fur...I mean chest hair. So he might just become Uncle Ouch.
