Braylon's Potty Party

Last night we went to Braylon's potty party. I was so happy for Miranda that they finally made it here. She has been trying and trying with Braylon for a long time..but was not getting with the program. He would go when you took him but he would tell you when he needed to go. Thankfully after a couple weeks of charting his progress, he made it 3 days of telling them he needed to go! So we went over to help celebrate. I took this picture from Miranda because we had our camera with us but left it in the car...so again I do not have a mommy and me picture for this week. Not that I would have wanted you to see her in this outfit...My aunt watched her yesterday changed her from her Nike outfit to a Camo outfit that my uncle bought her. Then all of you know about my daughter obsession with beads...so I put my puca shell necklace on her. Quite a site. She had a good time hanging out with Braylon and feeding him cheesy poofs. She did not like the noisemakers though....she cried every time anyone would bring one near her let alone blow it. Can I also say that I am not looking forward to this in anyway and would rather just change diapers forever! My mom wants to buy her a potty chair now...but I don't want to do this. I think I would rather just get one of the seats for the real toilet. The less I have to deal with it the better I think...but who knows. I have learned to never say " I will NEVER do that"...I also was looking over some of my posts...my typing/spelling has been horrible. Those of you that know me already know that I am a terrible speller. I am embarrassed to say the only way I passed freshman english with a B was to cheat my through it due to the weekly vocabulary tests. I knew all the definitions but I could not spell anyone of them. I will not call out the guilty...(not that he would have any chance of reading this blog) but he would whisper the spelling in my ear..then he would look of my paper for the definitions because he could not remember those...*hanging head* we both got good grades. So my bad spelling on top of trying to type fast at work so no one sees me doing this...well you all have seen and had to read the results....

Big Girl

Well once again, our real camera is MIA. Mark thinks it is in his camping/fishing stuff. So once again you are stuck with the little phone pictures. I am also not sure why they look like it was done in a dream sequence on Days...I sure it is some lighting issue. So here is our big girl feeding herself yogurt. She also helped mommy make pancakes earlier..I know have bisquick everywhere in my kitchen...but helped her stop yelling Cracker, Cracker. Cracker is the word she currently uses for anything bread like...this morning it meant pancakes!


She just looks so big now. I know she has gotten taller b/c her belly is not a pouched out and she is longer than half of me now. We will have her official 15 month appointment soon so I can give you the specifics.

Happy Anniversy Mama and Daddy

So yesterday was Mark and I's 3rd anniversary. I was at a conference in Flatwoods and did not get home until 6:00. So Mark had made dinner and kept Lydia at my parents (they were babysitting her yesterday during the day) So after a yummy dinner we went to pick up Lydia and they had bought us a Dairy Queen cake (YUM) Mom tried to get Lydia to help her carry the cake into Mark and I but this is what she kept doing...

We could not put the cake near her or her whole head would be in it. Mom's camera was being weird so I took some with the phone. The funny one with her icing/ice cream all over her face was too fuzzy to even post...but it was really cute. I guess she did get somethings from me! She just does not look anything like me!

Hangin out

Here is Lydia on our walk the other day. I had a horrible day at work last Thursday so when I got home we packed up Lydia and went to the park. The picture is with the phone so it is small but it is really cute. She has been carrying around her water cup like she is in this picture. She also is being obsessed with sticks. She loves being outside. I came home yesterday to a filthy husband and kid. They took Earth day seriously and took to planting stuff outside. I am currently at a conference which obviously has wi-fi (thank God). Mark sent me this picture of Lydia playing the clean clothes. She found my dress and put it on. I guess she was walking around wearing it.

Go WVU

Here we are at the Gold Blue game. It was really nice...hotter then I thought it would be.

Here was Lydia helping dad fish at Chestnut Ridge Park.

Pooh...

So Friday evening Miranda asks if we want to go to Barnes and Noble with her mom, her niece, and Braylon. Lydia and I met up with them. We went to that playground at the Morgantown Mall and again Lydia loved it. I wish they would do one at the Middletown Mall! Then over to BN. I notice a sign...guess who was the special guest...Pooh! So not only did Lydia get to meet Elmo last weekend, she got to meet Pooh this weekend. I guess we need to plan a trip to Flordia so she can meet House and Cuck....
Here she is checking Pooh out.
Here is the gang listening to Pooh's spring time story.
I could not get her to stand by Pooh, but she would sit in the chair by him and "sit like a big girl, like when she brushes her teeth"
Right when we were pulling out of BN to go shopping..Daddy called. His camping buddy came down with the stomach flu and he was on his way home. So we met him out at Chestnet Ridge Park and played around. After all the excitement, this is what we got..

and she want not the only one. We all took a family nap when we got home!

Mommy's sick days

This is ow Lydia and I started my sick days this week. Chillin on the couch, eating cereal. We were pretty calm but of course she has spring fever so it was not too long before I say this.. She wanted to go outside to search for tweet-tweets. She also was very excited about this shirt that daddy picked up for her. It has her two favorite people in the world....Cuck and House. (Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse) She kept patting her shirt saying "house"
I did take her outside for a little while. She found another stick to play with..
Here is another picture of Lydia in dad's hats. She think it too funny and cute. She love to take them off of his head and put then on hers.
