Lydia turned 3 in July and continues to amaze me every day. However I'd like to personally inflict harm and the person who dubbed the phrase "terrible 2's"...they've got nothing on 3!!! However challenging she may be she is the brightest light in my life. In September she started preschool at First Lutheran and she loves it. She always has fun stories to tell and loves talking about her friends. She got to be cinderella for for Halloween and my little princess looked and played the role well. In December my mother in law treated our family to a trip to Disneyland. The week we were there we had 1 day of sunshine and then California decided it was due for some record rainfall! Lydia was totally content jumping in mud puddles and making wishes in every fountain she could find. In January my mother in law treated my mom and I to a trip to Hawaii! We had a wonderful time and it was a trip I will cherish forever. I've been so lucky to live the life I have for the past 3 years and the gift of my amazing little girl. <br /><br />But Lydia and I are beginning a new chapter in our lives. My marriage is over and it's time for Lydia and I to discover who we are as a family. Right now we are dealing with a lot of sadness and confusion. I love my husband more than words can explain but those things have to work both ways. Right now it's hard...right now we do a lot of crying and I thank the Lord for zanax!! I have the most outstanding family and friends who are there for me. We will get thru this...hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right??<br /><br /><br />"When we live with resentment toward another our hearts close down. Letting go of our resentment frees us from placing blame on them and allows us to look toward ourself for peace."<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayTteRZY3giNpB-cCbfDN4AnoTkwv9VeGv5KSwV-KUoSxYpjrvgngyzBmkqSGYHsv_WP5b_oA9IRg-n0J9f8snI7X0g_IvyZOYgxZYZhe_Sv0MMp9DlQu4Y_3QiTc1-8E4yt0t8qBrCiN/s1600/goof.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I haven't posted a thing since December. I'm going to start with March and work my way back to January...here goes!<br /><br />MARCH really has been slightly uneventful. We did move...again...hopefully for the last time! My parents bought a new house so we moved into their old house. We are so happy to be back in Mount Vernon. The move has cut tons of time off of Matt's commute and is just minutes from my work. Once we get totally settled and organized I will put some pictures up! Lydia is now four months away from turning 3! Holy smokes! It really hit me just yesterday when we were at her cousin Ava's 3rd Birthday party. Lydia just loves Ava to pieces. They are so cute...they hold hands and give smooches and play really well together. Our Niece, Maya turned 1...can't believe how quickly that went! She is the sweetest, silliest little girl. Happy Birthday Maya Lu...we love you! Another niece, Mallory turned 4! She was just 16 months old when Lydia was born and she is such a sweet little girl. Lydia really looks up to her big cousins Maci & Mallory!

We started out the month with a family trip to Ocean Shores. We had a nice, relaxing weekend. We had a little birthday celebration for Matt(he was a party pooper and didn't want anything big). Matt's mom also had a very nice dinner at their house to celebrate. We celebrated his Birthday the right way later in month with a trip to Vegas. We also welcomed a new cousin into the family...Amelia was born February 2!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-_j4Xo0HZxdAqswDjoAKxNRBHwv2NsOr9YUVWNkT4D2GS83WoSdG6waRHHGgwY3-FKug922OGLTO4TzcYIcWi-N5YkDrIblGP1AvBPH6PyFJyootAf27x7iy25DGYuM0e_5lem94Y_DYA/s1600/untitled.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-_j4Xo0HZxdAqswDjoAKxNRBHwv2NsOr9YUVWNkT4D2GS83WoSdG6waRHHGgwY3-FKug922OGLTO4TzcYIcWi-N5YkDrIblGP1AvBPH6PyFJyootAf27x7iy25DGYuM0e_5lem94Y_DYA/s400/untitled.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453805335039135826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgooUkBfGZzuG5P62rdFMFnizy__6MUrzmYHhukcZq9jBaB9xx3Ynzuwr7LUL37N5KDhgamz26Vg4R-20CNFRQKhBSBaiJkygZhQYcrFGvrJyt5SepZUl20_b9FP1exmfHNWF_iLcP4HC/s1600/087.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDgooUkBfGZzuG5P62rdFMFnizy__6MUrzmYHhukcZq9jBaB9xx3Ynzuwr7LUL37N5KDhgamz26Vg4R-20CNFRQKhBSBaiJkygZhQYcrFGvrJyt5SepZUl20_b9FP1exmfHNWF_iLcP4HC/s400/087.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453797823517980978" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpNrO3tMeLaWTugEnFllKB-XUVdODwzNAqmycYwjhpvkrD0wHcvmT3gRseQCB6lL5E-CpVirW5b6m7DNEQ5k5-k09_JFCWxNyIW5BfEDGCOsR37z2JZbLTN-PYlo6ypOn-ETvFLZWPDpL/s1600/010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpNrO3tMeLaWTugEnFllKB-XUVdODwzNAqmycYwjhpvkrD0wHcvmT3gRseQCB6lL5E-CpVirW5b6m7DNEQ5k5-k09_JFCWxNyIW5BfEDGCOsR37z2JZbLTN-PYlo6ypOn-ETvFLZWPDpL/s400/010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453797808358953618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ClOCs-AD3fJnTYQozmk09kk__5TDePXJ7k37og38Zre3xyE0OfiOk0iiDiB1vS8-K9hcmVIzGHBRGx7rhyVL_ngLnqAiAXR3Y3IHDkaEDUj3Jb_Tyv59GyExY3xipPK928RVrmmqAHkR/s1600/027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ClOCs-AD3fJnTYQozmk09kk__5TDePXJ7k37og38Zre3xyE0OfiOk0iiDiB1vS8-K9hcmVIzGHBRGx7rhyVL_ngLnqAiAXR3Y3IHDkaEDUj3Jb_Tyv59GyExY3xipPK928RVrmmqAHkR/s400/027.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453797801803502274" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrb8DZt5vPzZzsZX079j0svEj-YNMqIIImqk5CFrCPZcnx-klprenhgVesp7t_G3NEoEPIW7_eDchdlDJfqkazo1Kb-UdbbnLAltjO6fha2ewus-_0X0FESBZFpP_HXhhwIu0xCFpFMeQ/s1600/029.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrb8DZt5vPzZzsZX079j0svEj-YNMqIIImqk5CFrCPZcnx-klprenhgVesp7t_G3NEoEPIW7_eDchdlDJfqkazo1Kb-UdbbnLAltjO6fha2ewus-_0X0FESBZFpP_HXhhwIu0xCFpFMeQ/s400/029.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453797793805275234" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmzSJITFKiwudZbDowXqHLz6Y1fvKqmzm_28Tnue3gDVbEuOJxwurLW-BDRiVdyhX_NLk53tIhnMa4iB9eNSmQ-HcS9Ip94Gm12HkI8fP5EJwAiFnrwjUJ06eyM3IY5w4RXvI0ChPIz5u/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmzSJITFKiwudZbDowXqHLz6Y1fvKqmzm_28Tnue3gDVbEuOJxwurLW-BDRiVdyhX_NLk53tIhnMa4iB9eNSmQ-HcS9Ip94Gm12HkI8fP5EJwAiFnrwjUJ06eyM3IY5w4RXvI0ChPIz5u/s400/003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453797782441509314" /></a><br /><br />JANUARY...Started out with family friends at Joel & Angela's. We had a great time visiting, playing cards and this was actually the first time Matt and I got to spend New Years together...he's always worked nights and NYE was mandatory...so that was fun for us! Matt's wonderful parents took us down to Tacoma to the Pt. Defiance zoo to see the Christmas lights. That was so cool! I had never been before and will definitely go again. I got to go down to San Diego for friends wedding. That was a lot of fun! I was child-less and husband-less...that was the first time ever! It was a busy weekend, helping Jen with last minute details, doing a couple cuts and colors the night before, then hair and makeup the day of. She was a beautiful bride and the ceremony/reception were amazing. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP5jTC0Khk9NfXRFzjkSKGP0WpNfIu3yOtIx4bG7-E8Ar7fwTgRoO90kHVeIsiXRmTHgR-PkjYhiYt9CFfK3EQeSHklYbJKbXPrahvetVUgHrwdFJyOme0S5hwTUMKKv5K9ioA9Yy6iYEW/s1600/IMG_6483.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I've been debating on whether or not to continue posting on here because basically anything I would post gets put on facebook and I'm not really sure if anyone reads this or not. But after much debate(only with myself)I have decided to keep on going. I started this blog when I was pregnant with Lydia and I don't want to stop now! Now, I get to get you caught up on the last 2 months! So here we go!<br /><br />September was a busy month. I've been back to work for a month at this time and getting back into the swing of things...balancing child care and work and being a mother & wife. I turned 30(YIKES!!!)! Matt took me out for a nice dinner and had a small party at our house when we were done. We took Lydia to the Children's museum and met up with Matt's sister and her kids for a cousin play date! Our family friend, Holly got married in Bellevue. It was a wonderful ceremony, where my Aunt Tammy and cousin Carolyn were the maid of honor and bridesmaid. Holly is very special to our family and is like an Aunt to me. We are so thrilled for her and Rob and wish them all the best!<br /><br />October...glad it's over! It was a hard month. Matt's Uncle passed away after fighting ALS for 2 years. Lydia just loved him and after we told her he went to heaven she asked when she was going to get to go to heaven to see Uncle Merlin. <br />Halloween was fun...a little somber, but I think the kids had a great time. Lydia dressed up as a garden gnome and was so adorable! Keegan was a doctor, Addison was Thumbelina and Maya was a flower! We tried to get a picture with all the kids but weren't very successful! lol! We took the kids to the grandparents houses and then headed to the mall to trick or treat and promptly left! It was insane! There was a solid line of people walking through the whole mall...probably would have taken us a good 2 hours to get through! So we headed over to my in-laws and posted up there for the rest of the night. Marg had a wonderful spread of food...baked apples, cookies on a stick, hot apple cider, goody bags for the kids and so much more! They were a popular house due to the full sized candy bars they were handing out! Lydia got to go to Chucky Cheese for the first time for her cousin Blaine's birthday party and she was a big fan! She especially loved the "bob the builder" toys! Lydia also moved into her big girl bed full time! I took her crib down this weekend and it was kind of hard! Can't believe how time flies!<br /><br />Now we're practically through November...where does the time go?!? My sister-in-law Angela, my mom and Grandma took Lydia and Addy to Disney on Ice. That was an experience! If I ever take Lydia again, we will get there 5 minutes before it starts and go directly to our seats! We got there an hour early to go to the Princess meet and greet...what a JOKE! They hoard you all into this tiny corner, while making you walk past all of the vendors...driving your child insane because she can't have the $20 flashlight or the $12 cotton candy!!! The Princess walked onto a stage and waved for a couple minutes and that was it!! My little angel had a total and complete MELT DOWN! We're talking threw herself on the floor kicking and screaming...yelling in this horribly scary voice, and just causing a huge scene...bringing me to tears! Oh ya...GOOD TIMES!! Once we got to our seats and she was able to eat her snow cone(with out help)and wait for the show to start, we were OK! They loved the show! My mom bought both of the girls Tinkerbell outfits to wear to it and they were pretty darn cute. I sadly didn't get any good pictures due to my child's behavioral issues! lol!<br /><br />I have always heard the expression, "kids say the darnedest things". Well until my child started speaking I never really fully understood the meaning! I should do a weekly post called "my child said what?!?". Here are a few examples...and it's not that she says offensive things, sometimes it's super silly, sometimes so smart...just baffles me!<br />While in the car Lydia points to a church and says, "look at that castle"! I tell her it's not a castle its a church. She tells me that's where we talk to Jesus. I'm like, "you're right Lydia!...do you know where Jesus is?". She says we need to find him! I ask her if he's in her heart...she says nope. I asked if he's in her mind...nope! I tell her I think he is everywhere! She thinks for a minute and tells me she thinks he is in a bad at Nanny and Papa's house!!!(they have a "little people" nativity that is kept in a bag that she plays with).<br />Just last week we were in the car and I got cut off...I said "I can't believe that guy just cut me off!", Lydia says "it just makes me sick Mommy'!! lol!<br />One day she brought me her cup of water and said "here mommy...you can have my water, its not good for me. I NEED apple juice for healthy bones"! I have decided to start an AA group for kids...Apple-juice-drinker anonymous!! Sheesh!!!<br /><br />We are preparing for Thanksgiving this week and remembering the things and people we are thankful for. We have wonderful friends and family and blessings in our life, and although things aren't perfect...you don't have to look very far to realize that we don't have it that bad. I love my husband more today than yesterday...I have an amazing daughter who brings joy into my life and tears to my eyes...and the most fantastic support system. I am THANKFUL! <br /><br /><br />For some reason I can't upload my pictures right now...I will try again later!Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-16517364130770578712009-09-14T12:46:00.001-07:002009-09-14T12:57:52.743-07:00trips to costco & 2 year check upSo I took Lydia to Costco the other day to grab a few items and it turned into the "Lydia show". It never fails, no matter where we are people are always stopping to talk to Lydia. So this older woman, who Lydia kept calling "grandma Lois"(my step-dads mom) was talking to Lydia when all of a sudden she says "hey, you're old and I'm young!". Good thing the woman had a sense of humor, she said "you're exactly right!". Feeling a little embarrassed about that we continued shopping when a woman, probably in her 90's came over to talk to Lydia...this woman had an eye patch(can you see where this is going???)...Lydia says "Look mommy...a PIRATE!!!!" Then starts yelling "ARGH MATEY!!!", over and over again. I don't think the woman knew quit how to respond, and I kept talking over Lydia and walked away. So as if that weren't enough...we get to the check out line and the man who was our checker was black...Lydia says to him, "why are you purple?"...I think my jaw hit the floor. He handled it very well and said, "I'm not, I'm black". She was just like "oh...okay". The woman who was boxing up our groceries asked Lydia if she liked to sing and boy does she ever. She started singing old McDonald had a farm and as she was singing she pointed to all the people in line saying "you sing, you sing..." and soon the whole line and workers around us were singing Old Mcdonald had a farm and after each very they would let Lydia pick a new animal! Oh boy...you'd think maybe one of those things might happen in a trip, but ALL OF THEM?!?! SHeesh...we are in for it!!<br /><br />Lydia had her 2 year check up today and everything went great. She weighs 31 lbs and is 3 feet tall. He height is in the high 90's percentile and weight is in the mid 80's. The doctor and her staff were all very impressed with her vocabulary!Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-63354666338027657772009-08-30T07:40:00.000-07:002009-08-30T08:28:17.520-07:00I'm such a slacker!!!So it's been a month now since I last posted anything...you'd think I've been busy or something! August has by far been the busiest month of the summer with either a wedding every weekend, or a wedding festivity(shower/bachelorette party). So we'll start with Liz's wedding. Liz is one of my oldest and dearest friends. She was a GORGEOUS bride. They had a lovely ceremony and a super fun reception.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisu_9mY33XMup5ouZF5uaV_LftM4ytl2a7NOXwE7dzcCEdvLM9N42xYsxKYQGkg2_ERra03o1xA_J5NWqW6_rsy9PcS98GDkKYDwRak61xncOUpZ2D-SeS64FROM1D0XEXOEjEcXoDkxiK/s1600-h/2009_07_31.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisu_9mY33XMup5ouZF5uaV_LftM4ytl2a7NOXwE7dzcCEdvLM9N42xYsxKYQGkg2_ERra03o1xA_J5NWqW6_rsy9PcS98GDkKYDwRak61xncOUpZ2D-SeS64FROM1D0XEXOEjEcXoDkxiK/s400/2009_07_31.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375770646119304242" /></a><br />Then Matt's sister and her family came over for a belated birthday celebration with Lydia. SaraLyn made adorable cupcakes and the really spoiled Lydia!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxySh-GyoxrzrEep1KyQQsIQ3u96pH8zilcv7P77N5wF1xcPB1LtQc0J7N45KHSq5agCscT_XcaQ96JM8KXlsKXfJUGWzJn_-22Ouea5a2TRDjp4Mjq3TBfZTrTbIYJZlXM5U8E3v5VZv1/s1600-h/2009_08_09.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxySh-GyoxrzrEep1KyQQsIQ3u96pH8zilcv7P77N5wF1xcPB1LtQc0J7N45KHSq5agCscT_XcaQ96JM8KXlsKXfJUGWzJn_-22Ouea5a2TRDjp4Mjq3TBfZTrTbIYJZlXM5U8E3v5VZv1/s400/2009_08_09.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375772133162688290" /></a><br />Then it was off to Cassie's bachelorette party. We had a night out in Bellingham. Kelli and I realized we are WAY to old to hang like we used to! Out at the clubs we felt like we were at a high school dance! As the chaperone's!! lol! But Cassie had a good time(from what she remembers!). Pole dancing and lap dancing lessons, martinis, a very nice dinner then out to the clubs.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTU2AQ8yoFGAwrlzMaU34cy46gWxcXN3AjJl7JnhxSjCR43kygL8hqGFn4isjRLVkp0Z7jVf8ae27tPMxVrvJyySEi54DWpUx9gZXv164naFOS1Hszs7SfqmvJCzAQROtI-nt742EYiTy4/s1600-h/2009_08_16.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTU2AQ8yoFGAwrlzMaU34cy46gWxcXN3AjJl7JnhxSjCR43kygL8hqGFn4isjRLVkp0Z7jVf8ae27tPMxVrvJyySEi54DWpUx9gZXv164naFOS1Hszs7SfqmvJCzAQROtI-nt742EYiTy4/s400/2009_08_16.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375774088729587250" /></a><br />Cassie's wedding was last weekend but I forgot my camera. She looked amazing and the location was breath taking. I ended up at the Canadian border after taking a few wrong turns! But I made it home after a 40 minute detour!<br />Friday night we all got together at my mom and Mike's for a bbq. Joel was working on the ambulance so him and Isle came down the bbq and let the kids play on the ambulance. They got to put the head sets on, sit in the drivers seat, walk all around the back and Uncle Joel even put the lights on!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBX20aBUwsMSlexL4emGfqZDhcQOUglLgrGNG9Uw4cVPebbzSEmpD4ssFa5jwS4wi-lOU09EU6QX6lSHno6HR8Mds8UU-SySx2EQbB3un11uNnGso0POH_xbmW3VWjIKLRHVbQteD_K4lw/s1600-h/2009_08_28.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBX20aBUwsMSlexL4emGfqZDhcQOUglLgrGNG9Uw4cVPebbzSEmpD4ssFa5jwS4wi-lOU09EU6QX6lSHno6HR8Mds8UU-SySx2EQbB3un11uNnGso0POH_xbmW3VWjIKLRHVbQteD_K4lw/s400/2009_08_28.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375778746791719794" /></a>Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-75972624431585160112009-07-29T11:49:00.001-07:002009-07-29T11:59:59.934-07:00Princess PartyOn Sunday we had about 40 friends and family over to help us celebrated Lydia's 2nd Birthday. We had great weather and all the kids(and some of the adults) enjoyed the pools and sprinkler. We had great food, wonderful company and a little bit of a cranky 2 year old. The heat combined with being a little overwhelmed made Lydia a tad irritable, but we made it through the day. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL9Ffqgu8wNvbHbZOuLU8ix5rXp4YeFXEzgvO9pTXjbkeAh3NrqMGzJaK-bVh-s2Sn3g8S-ZJJV0Ib5dZN3Olfmho7wUQIWPa9X8p4zVKgM_rZXMztmQrWINEokqjvhSgNe19LZRhYG2gp/s1600-h/IMG_4725.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL9Ffqgu8wNvbHbZOuLU8ix5rXp4YeFXEzgvO9pTXjbkeAh3NrqMGzJaK-bVh-s2Sn3g8S-ZJJV0Ib5dZN3Olfmho7wUQIWPa9X8p4zVKgM_rZXMztmQrWINEokqjvhSgNe19LZRhYG2gp/s400/IMG_4725.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363958707463338770" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHDZquvKAfjGfDl_ew_hWzNSNPgP8mAlMs9KRsROknm-AvCior9mHBrRwdGo_6Gnq3668i1OyxaTrcm8X0N-ny8UAHU9Mnc0APmnt8P7PkgP4uctZ1F7RoXxHVG8ks-lF5wn9YWY3egU9/s1600-h/IMG_4726.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHDZquvKAfjGfDl_ew_hWzNSNPgP8mAlMs9KRsROknm-AvCior9mHBrRwdGo_6Gnq3668i1OyxaTrcm8X0N-ny8UAHU9Mnc0APmnt8P7PkgP4uctZ1F7RoXxHVG8ks-lF5wn9YWY3egU9/s400/IMG_4726.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363958703073845186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITmSVH9gyZEvPL9aC5HzReLQflz34y2VCGPTKOSMWKyDpamkkyqLsPQmqgMhOXFUJsoHM4H9P0h_PmOByoPmcAuo1WmhCPa9NCa04u0TjIgRR691zmRidT6VSoPyuMb_W4z7ir9MCOK3S/s1600-h/IMG_4820.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiITmSVH9gyZEvPL9aC5HzReLQflz34y2VCGPTKOSMWKyDpamkkyqLsPQmqgMhOXFUJsoHM4H9P0h_PmOByoPmcAuo1WmhCPa9NCa04u0TjIgRR691zmRidT6VSoPyuMb_W4z7ir9MCOK3S/s400/IMG_4820.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363958697422680802" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfxyIK6_MB9gibfMJ0FK4CuYaFpT6YuMKDEOgcvcoHR68s9N2_Hg1Psc3eleV9PFYYGxeEfz2kLHMmnEw5aXgH_dDidqHCAmoletcEcUejfmMTzRtO_0xUxqeUggDndMtrHLayYu1w-3Z/s1600-h/IMG_4777.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfxyIK6_MB9gibfMJ0FK4CuYaFpT6YuMKDEOgcvcoHR68s9N2_Hg1Psc3eleV9PFYYGxeEfz2kLHMmnEw5aXgH_dDidqHCAmoletcEcUejfmMTzRtO_0xUxqeUggDndMtrHLayYu1w-3Z/s400/IMG_4777.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363958691780549906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViMyz7Fd_kv_gKvjoJlqrlDKnjy6u2ixT7Hs0bUbi_MpTWKOVUCsCYGN2nLqrSMgcj82i1SS3a14AmiMDjBQtdvbd2quNSR3g8EK1LDV1z-fOAVPZJxUXz8veUT6rhTIB0TNqXxmbYOAp/s1600-h/IMG_4692.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViMyz7Fd_kv_gKvjoJlqrlDKnjy6u2ixT7Hs0bUbi_MpTWKOVUCsCYGN2nLqrSMgcj82i1SS3a14AmiMDjBQtdvbd2quNSR3g8EK1LDV1z-fOAVPZJxUXz8veUT6rhTIB0TNqXxmbYOAp/s400/IMG_4692.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363958687210131554" /></a>Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-83651944452843369162009-07-23T22:06:00.000-07:002009-07-23T22:19:36.118-07:00Happy Birthday Lydia & NannyThis morning when Lydia woke up I came into her room snapping pictures and singing "Happy Birthday"...she was less than thrilled in the beginning but by the time I was done dancing and singing around her room she was being silly with me.<br />She got several phone calls from friends and family and she got to wish her birthday buddy(her Nanny)a happy day too!

You have brought so much joy and laughter into our lives. Your Daddy and I can remember feeling anxious, scared, excited and overwhelmed as we were being taken into the operating room but as soon as we saw our beautiful baby girl it was all over for us! Love at first sight! You amaze us over and over again. You are God's greatest gift. <br /><br />You crack me up how you make me knock on the door in the morning before I get you out of bed..."who is it?" you ask..I say "mommy" and then you say "come in"! You then immediately tell me "get me outta here". It's impossible to be in a bad mood around you. I love how you say "please" and "thank you". You just learned that green means go and red means stop and you tell me that at every light we go through. You laugh when the big kids laugh...not always knowing why, but understanding the time is appropriate. You fake sneeze when you get in trouble or are upset, just so we'll tell you "bless you". You announce to us "I'm okay" when you fall down. You love to bounce and run. You melt you're daddy's heart when he comes home from work and you tell him you missed him. You have a steal trap memory. You have a twinkle in your eye, a little mischief in your laugh and smile that will light up the room.<br /><br />Lydia, you make life fun and exciting. You make me a better woman every day. Daddy and I love you around the whole world and back again! Happy Birthday little miss!<br /><br />Mommy<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsdMP0jnJEU7nAIhd6vQ2g7tTlkVlFmQc0sWwgV3R4gm5NFDG9M3tFLKr4NHMI4c2ABnvihQerm9YfNfXlm75f6W1Y7WHXhIsZ4zOJ2qiDVilwhRgrnjCy7QBuEEOWo29Ir5VOnXQx49d/s1600-h/2009_07_23.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsdMP0jnJEU7nAIhd6vQ2g7tTlkVlFmQc0sWwgV3R4gm5NFDG9M3tFLKr4NHMI4c2ABnvihQerm9YfNfXlm75f6W1Y7WHXhIsZ4zOJ2qiDVilwhRgrnjCy7QBuEEOWo29Ir5VOnXQx49d/s400/2009_07_23.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361893601335353090" /></a>Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-69294894167276461382009-07-04T14:43:00.000-07:002009-07-04T14:54:53.151-07:00Lucy's 1st b-day!!Yesterday Lydia and I picked up Bill & Kelli and headed down to Covington to celebrate Miss Lucy's 1st birthday. It was SO hot out! Lydia had a great time playing with all of the kids and she really enjoyed the put the bee on the flower game. She told me this am, "I wanna play a game, Mommy" so I asked he which one and she said the "bee" game! After Lucy's party we celebrated her mommy's Birthday...what fun!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtXgHgMTsnXicRCrHJsuNkG1tLIz4mkSziObDHViLoGerfAxs6-8K_kXvusP_glY3qjJ15jndNQfTUFhw0iSQy-QdRC9oPEWM5MhYQGnQHdV6FKBiqxmuA0hDDX544oKSFVmm10zQQlVve/s1600-h/2009_07_03.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtXgHgMTsnXicRCrHJsuNkG1tLIz4mkSziObDHViLoGerfAxs6-8K_kXvusP_glY3qjJ15jndNQfTUFhw0iSQy-QdRC9oPEWM5MhYQGnQHdV6FKBiqxmuA0hDDX544oKSFVmm10zQQlVve/s400/2009_07_03.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354726646394624322" /></a>Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-20589329390724977102009-07-01T13:16:00.000-07:002009-07-01T14:48:41.966-07:00q-tips, pennies, poop and workThings have been busy busy busy for the Meece family in the last couple weeks. We're still working on getting settled into our new home, but now we HAVE to be done by a certain date because we're having Lydia's birthday party here...so it's crunch time! Speaking of Lydia, she is certainly becoming what I would expect a typical 2 year to be. On Father's day she was playing in her playroom(Which we put a gate in front of the door so A)she's not going up and down the stairs and B)she's not throwing toys down the stairs)well she was playing really well and being super quiet. Next thing I know she's downstairs...I asked Matt if he put the gate up and he said yes. My next thought was "are all of the doors closed?"...NOPE! Well the gate was just propped against the door(it's a tension gate)so naturally she just pushed it open. Our bedroom door was open(OH CRAP!)!! Almost a whole box of q-tips had been put in the toilet and then onto the floor, my clinique foundation and moisturizer were in the toilet alond with miscellaneous hair clips and stuffed animals! There was also a glass of water on my side of the bed that she dumped...on my side!(Matt went to take a nap and called me to ask me if I had peed the bed!!) lol!

<br />Lydia noticed me putting some change in my pocket the other day so her new obsession is to have change in her pocket. So as a reward for not putting the coins in her mouth I let her have a couple pennies to put in her pocket...as soon as she takes them out or plays with them I take them away(PLEASE DON'T CALL CPS ON ME!?). So she had 2 pennies in her pocket on Saturday and I noticed her playing with them so I asked her to give them to me. She ran away from me and put them in her mouth. I calmly walked towards her so she wouldn't run with them and as soon as I got to her *GULP* she swallowed both of them! So after 3 days and 1 trip to the ER...

Poor thing was probable so confused as to why Matt was so excited when she told him she was pooping!! lol! We should nickname her "coinstar"!
<br />
<br />And lastly...I have decided to go back to working in a salon. A friend of mine(I used to babysit!!)just opened a new salon in Mount Vernon and has invited me to come work with her. It's an opportunity I couldn't pass up and I'm really excited about it. So come check us out at ESCAPE salon 360-428-8315...I start the week of July 13th.

On tuesday we were getting new carpet and our new furniture was being delivered. I work on tuesdays now so my mother-in-law came to our house to watch Lydia and so someone would be here for the deliveries...well when I left our house was full of boxes, no carpet and no furniture...when I came home it looked like a home! She did laundry, put things away, organized...it was amazing! I really lucked out in the in-law department...they are so good to us!Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-8406648149139046932009-05-11T23:38:00.000-07:002009-05-11T23:51:16.635-07:00New houseFor the last 8 months we have been on the hunt for our first house. Out of all the houses I looked at we seriously considered 2 but decided against both. Out of frustration, our search had come to a halt. After hearing about the $8000 tax credit being offered to first time home buyers I re-opened the proverbial can of worms and started looking again. Well I didn't have to look very far! A good friend of mine mentioned that his parents were looking to sell/lease/rent a property that they had bought for a family member whom no longer lived there. After a couple meetings(one being a yummy dinner at Il Granio), we came to a VERY generous conclusion and now we have a house!!!! We are so excited to make it our own. It's 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1700 sq. ft, a nice fenced back yard with a great play area for Lydia. We feel so blessed and are amazed at the kindness they have shown us! Here are a few pictures...look for "after" pictures soon!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiduUc6Qob0cWCgUtEszQ6747ECUgHUV7rdhLKdFz5MGOIFg7pUNbEWPf2NhKwAgUGcu4570JkdfbVQAjKQO4H7rMxSYKlIcp2DX6X2QHdjEOSvl-NfEOe3riMEeu1jxmmcENMla8cY5w2v/s1600-h/House_046.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiduUc6Qob0cWCgUtEszQ6747ECUgHUV7rdhLKdFz5MGOIFg7pUNbEWPf2NhKwAgUGcu4570JkdfbVQAjKQO4H7rMxSYKlIcp2DX6X2QHdjEOSvl-NfEOe3riMEeu1jxmmcENMla8cY5w2v/s320/House_046.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334825816879780002" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIeoasBHppPi9YuXkj8DhAZGcpTeirCIiDHzV1fpupShuy11NY5zuZLL8bYfHT7BXeYUO2OCpLj6ctu426qhiaq6J80GtLK-IQWVPUt6ODBRRbkOvLErINpZpPIZgfVrJ4di84r-Z8qVCo/s1600-h/IMG_3903.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIeoasBHppPi9YuXkj8DhAZGcpTeirCIiDHzV1fpupShuy11NY5zuZLL8bYfHT7BXeYUO2OCpLj6ctu426qhiaq6J80GtLK-IQWVPUt6ODBRRbkOvLErINpZpPIZgfVrJ4di84r-Z8qVCo/s320/IMG_3903.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334825813188171906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiamqlhafJmQ6tjVi5gpIBfKAhEKqBwJpqMb0OYSTS2sLWc7J_tFeOeRWwWvGqeDMy2SoUlSZ-C8UWb4IeS3PesE2jj24SQ9tXeuMtdFgWYhNmU7KWq2ozuDA8SpBH3GOABSO4yTAyL9Jvd/s1600-h/IMG_3908.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiamqlhafJmQ6tjVi5gpIBfKAhEKqBwJpqMb0OYSTS2sLWc7J_tFeOeRWwWvGqeDMy2SoUlSZ-C8UWb4IeS3PesE2jj24SQ9tXeuMtdFgWYhNmU7KWq2ozuDA8SpBH3GOABSO4yTAyL9Jvd/s320/IMG_3908.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334825813220404306" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qVuVWDYv8A1nMZN-VVh3HBHejyvOY_YkwgWDphkdkownlg7rX6QK92Q1tO-IKw3k2tM3__krGI5tfeZCIYMM-ykGaxVUVSNMb8is-FZ_UuMreajCUqzUWm9G2tI800BwW1Z7-vlZ4TWI/s1600-h/IMG_3907.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qVuVWDYv8A1nMZN-VVh3HBHejyvOY_YkwgWDphkdkownlg7rX6QK92Q1tO-IKw3k2tM3__krGI5tfeZCIYMM-ykGaxVUVSNMb8is-FZ_UuMreajCUqzUWm9G2tI800BwW1Z7-vlZ4TWI/s320/IMG_3907.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334825803588760674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZ3_7Bu3f0Ptqg3lh5Z4UhCtJP5kL4gGVj30vVSSLZzrbyF_uz7sXAUpaUipJzf92lL0SXkpSTqAzWUUJxv9z-DdIw4uWyTEXZ3qxV5Q0TqLUT_l95_fnyVjxpK0w79VFQaNK_t4j3tx6/s1600-h/IMG_3905.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZ3_7Bu3f0Ptqg3lh5Z4UhCtJP5kL4gGVj30vVSSLZzrbyF_uz7sXAUpaUipJzf92lL0SXkpSTqAzWUUJxv9z-DdIw4uWyTEXZ3qxV5Q0TqLUT_l95_fnyVjxpK0w79VFQaNK_t4j3tx6/s320/IMG_3905.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334825797888402066" /></a>Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-28042129828779269852009-05-04T15:58:00.001-07:002009-05-04T15:59:46.950-07:00Photo ContestSo I decided to put 4 photos in a local contest.

Lydia was super cranky due to some new teeth coming in so I was a little bummed I didn't get very many pictures.

We had pan fried oysters for an appetizer, Matt had the ribeye steak and I had this amazing seafood pasta! Ronna was eating dinner in the lounge(her roommate is the executive chef there)and we were going to meet her in there for dessert. When we got our bill there was a card in there from Ronna...she paid for our dinner!! The chef(Rob) brought us out an amazing dessert, fallen chocolate cake...yum! After we visited for a while, Rob went back into the kitchen and made a wonderful brie platter with this yummy sauce and cracker and apple slices! They were so good to us and we can never thank Ronna enough for being so kind to us!<br /><br />Saturday after we got home Lydia and I headed to my moms house to meet up with Mamo, Angela, Addison & Maya. We walked from Mamo's house to the street fair where we met Jason, Heather & Keegan. We walked through the entire fair and enjoyed looking at all the goodies...and really like the ice cream! Lydia and Addy thought it was pretty cool that they could hold hand while sitting in the strollers!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_wk51EqjXFm14hUVn7hDpJxNG-4QYcHGCM3JYmRc5_d3XmCzgljfuJXH8iQQlt-lYxGDUoGreULOlkmBJpZ0_MnUfNIgFz23AKLYKHC-ZyeN6VdKczbgRDtd2r-eOnE5TxroVpG3pJZFa/s1600-h/IMG_3601.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_wk51EqjXFm14hUVn7hDpJxNG-4QYcHGCM3JYmRc5_d3XmCzgljfuJXH8iQQlt-lYxGDUoGreULOlkmBJpZ0_MnUfNIgFz23AKLYKHC-ZyeN6VdKczbgRDtd2r-eOnE5TxroVpG3pJZFa/s320/IMG_3601.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328376152846186482" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiOcEKliXKNdQotTiy67AP3uTw20rqDdu4hA-81G2-rmi1DzT0UGzBtw5BNBND_1uwSqwb-P4WuPXASpvy8pRdfAHYPd49XlTBXAgTQIKUU6XX7PkNjTkRHNduw1UZBHXpeRq9xDtg0mKV/s1600-h/IMG_3596.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiOcEKliXKNdQotTiy67AP3uTw20rqDdu4hA-81G2-rmi1DzT0UGzBtw5BNBND_1uwSqwb-P4WuPXASpvy8pRdfAHYPd49XlTBXAgTQIKUU6XX7PkNjTkRHNduw1UZBHXpeRq9xDtg0mKV/s320/IMG_3596.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328376147862199362" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7H-4smiRIwWMUZCuQni3JH5DoLqaKO5WjRBtnDnjn19x-gNxDrSgrRaWSDOT7Y-MNvnO7C7Sw4j7smP6kvASBfoFpRYnKVpaQRhKTpvKBCHaKcqrrTdg2xKWV-sfxFXNOiekEC006LzJ/s1600-h/IMG_3594.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7H-4smiRIwWMUZCuQni3JH5DoLqaKO5WjRBtnDnjn19x-gNxDrSgrRaWSDOT7Y-MNvnO7C7Sw4j7smP6kvASBfoFpRYnKVpaQRhKTpvKBCHaKcqrrTdg2xKWV-sfxFXNOiekEC006LzJ/s320/IMG_3594.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328376145241818386" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBTnxnoUp3F4nhyZbsr9utszKw2-7whyphenhyphenhQkrgCncWqGbwLvuVpke75gbTtkgER0rxhfdnlPD8nEAyTOK0d0Yp00kUiAm0vBF9gr3bU0JWrKYy9y435YVIk_Qrfc6jlXxpFTgwy392tTXu/s1600-h/IMG_3590.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBTnxnoUp3F4nhyZbsr9utszKw2-7whyphenhyphenhQkrgCncWqGbwLvuVpke75gbTtkgER0rxhfdnlPD8nEAyTOK0d0Yp00kUiAm0vBF9gr3bU0JWrKYy9y435YVIk_Qrfc6jlXxpFTgwy392tTXu/s320/IMG_3590.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328376142007775794" /></a>Bridget Meecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16438488097945087565noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363405986928832175.post-54053572981052664692009-04-15T11:11:00.000-07:002009-04-16T11:41:05.920-07:00How time fliesI've been thinking alot lately about how much Lydia has changed in the last year and I've been wanting to blog about my feelings but I just haven't gotten around to it. Yesterday I looked at my friend Megan's <a href="http://nickmeganandbabyking.blogspot.com/">family blog</a> and she always does such a great job writing about her memories and milestones...so here I am, INSPIRED!<br />Lydia is a JOY...plain and simple. She has the gift of gab, which apparently she got from me(I don't know where anyone got that idea! lol). She has so many wonderful personality traits...for example, awesome comedic timing(Matt & I are both goof balls so Lydia is destined to be a class clown!). She has a great throwing arm, especially when it comes to her cup, or food...is softball in her future?! She is a master at unfolding freshly folded laundry(it's really a fun game!). Her laugh brings tears to my eyes, her smile melts my heart. I love the way she says "we're home" when we pull in to our parking spot. She hugs herself when she says "please". She greets me in 3 languages(English, Spanish and Chinese)...that's right, we've got a genius on our hands!! She calls stars "twinkle". Her glow worm is known as "friend", and she has to have it to sleep. When she wakes up in the night she pushes friend to make it sing and it soothes her back to sleep. I love how she plays coy with people, like we really believe she's shy & reserved! The girl loves her Daddy! Lydia is becoming a little bookworm(she comes by it naturally), and I love it when she grabs and book and says "read it". When someone knocks on the door she says "come in"! Whenever I ask her where someone is...she either says "on an airplane" or "out the window". She LOVES running! <br /><br />This time last year is when she started crawling...at Joel & Angela's house on Easter to be exact.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0uDs7fYIf-3pmAmYT7FYFojlQqugBMesXeKi5A1XXMeoy28CBF86WIZTYfzArwNcCjcsJ73_WTgDJ1YAfr88dTbjrID8jLhqQmjGwTBOBs2Yerm10uCM9emls1XG4tHE4o0SUSoCjCP7/s1600-h/IMG_3530.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0uDs7fYIf-3pmAmYT7FYFojlQqugBMesXeKi5A1XXMeoy28CBF86WIZTYfzArwNcCjcsJ73_WTgDJ1YAfr88dTbjrID8jLhqQmjGwTBOBs2Yerm10uCM9emls1XG4tHE4o0SUSoCjCP7/s320/IMG_3530.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324983818563761010" /></a> this year on Easter and last year...WOW!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgnLrEAlhQyjlQ4JaGCiyCBNloeSxKK6DtgRYwT1rPOWZUIfdC4AscDv0izFlsSDCZeIs7070vvBfqr9yBq328CpAxYRCcPXJKzjfZwHaswkDs5ecOZ0Q64dVGhS_76OL-EYQnBYKXZZC/s1600-h/easter08.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgnLrEAlhQyjlQ4JaGCiyCBNloeSxKK6DtgRYwT1rPOWZUIfdC4AscDv0izFlsSDCZeIs7070vvBfqr9yBq328CpAxYRCcPXJKzjfZwHaswkDs5ecOZ0Q64dVGhS_76OL-EYQnBYKXZZC/s320/easter08.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324983813091320178" /></a><br /><br />I love when she meets new people how she clings to me and says "mommy", as if she's introducing me! She enjoys listing her family member too, and sometimes in the morning when she wakes up I can hear her over the monitor and it sounds like this "Mamo, Papa, Nanny, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Ang, Addy, Maya, Uncle, Heder(heather), Teetan(Keegan)"...then she finishes off by yelling "MOMMY, DADDY!!!". She is stubborn...Matt says she comes by it naturally, "who me?!".<br /><br />This weekend is our 1 year anniversary...CRAZY how fast that year went! There are no words to express how happy Matt makes me and how much he & Lydia complete my life! Matt has the ability to make me laugh on a daily basis. He has shown me how love is supposed to feel. They have both taught me patience and understanding.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUOBP8Jk8kphcSB_Wu0uNdfqtrA8Pi2zTpy5Lg3acW8lzaKbrP8FUFVF4UcL14fsSEZUuNANJLczrN-Fm7Rw_Qm8GdK6N4-5tGV3xi0J26W-khgJ3jKSHqQf181o-UIai4gC_yzxSM7qY/s1600-h/wedding1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 247px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUOBP8Jk8kphcSB_Wu0uNdfqtrA8Pi2zTpy5Lg3acW8lzaKbrP8FUFVF4UcL14fsSEZUuNANJLczrN-Fm7Rw_Qm8GdK6N4-5tGV3xi0J26W-khgJ3jKSHqQf181o-UIai4gC_yzxSM7qY/s320/wedding1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324989307223945474" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNb_oWn15n1ybHMEEcE3snS4ZIeIxR81HrNMaBbem1iwSamL9gQjrFvRnf1YxHpTD8_XLS6KzH9TG35jVRwzhgfIBnFG7qCfA4zLBDmELf0lnYNX6SfLsSzfiCNVaR7C3_qU03UyqumCy/s1600-h/wedding.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNb_oWn15n1ybHMEEcE3snS4ZIeIxR81HrNMaBbem1iwSamL9gQjrFvRnf1YxHpTD8_XLS6KzH9TG35jVRwzhgfIBnFG7qCfA4zLBDmELf0lnYNX6SfLsSzfiCNVaR7C3_qU03UyqumCy/s320/wedding.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324989302471320466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfL9E5gT-mrGyaE5h4OEMj3PfIJvOQUNrHEvsTjGXooqqJD_AOu3OnOLvNHmKQdO0AQPDFXrAzLy1dijk6Iro2N_5LQHTyMHUkS7oIA3klkgvruVEKJHY9VhQrFlp5DJLOpHKOTcxbLD5S/s1600-h/wedding2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfL9E5gT-mrGyaE5h4OEMj3PfIJvOQUNrHEvsTjGXooqqJD_AOu3OnOLvNHmKQdO0AQPDFXrAzLy1dijk6Iro2N_5LQHTyMHUkS7oIA3klkgvruVEKJHY9VhQrFlp5DJLOpHKOTcxbLD5S/s320/wedding2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324989300585710210" /></a><br /><br /><br />I am beyond blessed with an amazing family and fantastic friends!
