today

We had a relaxing Sunday afternoon! Jason and Lynn came over for the guys to brew beer and after Lydda Grace's nap the three girls went on a walk. It was beautiful out!!!

This is the first dress I've made Lydda Grace with her monogram on my new embroidery machine!
Smelling flowers with Lynn (Lydda Grace calls her, "Yen")

Lydda Grace

Our friend Carson took these pictures yesterday when we were at an event on-campus. She really was having fun, I promise! What a sweet girl!!!!

uh oh!

This morning Jon had Bible study early early so I didn't get a shower before he left. I decided to let Lydda Grace watch Curious George so that I could sneak in a quick shower. I got her all set up and literally took a 5 minute shower. As I got out the first thing I heard was her little voice saying, "Uh oh, uh oh" I panicked and dashed into the den dripping wet to find her pointing at the TV and "uh ohing" because of something a mischevious little monkey had done. Whew!

my new hobby

Since Lydda Grace has been born I have been sewing more and more and am enjoying it so much!

For my birthday Jon (MAJORLY) surprised me with an embroidery machine!!! I have been playing and practicing on it with odd projects here and there but recently had the chance to make a onesie for some friends who just had a baby boy. So this is one of my first real projects. I'm in the process of putting together a little A-line dress I monogrammed for Lydda Grace so I'll post pictures of that too later on.
I have also designing lots of "in case" onesies so I'm ready to make some when the baby arrives and we know if we're having a boy or girl!

cimmon

Lydda Grace loves "cimmon" toast. I finally got her to say it on camera... this is one of those sweet little words I always want to remember how she says it.... I know all too soon she'll be saying cinnamon, I'll probably cry the first time she says it correctly!

busy weekend

We had a fun and very filled up weekend. Granna Wylie came on Thursday night and I was able to spend time Friday finishing up my freezer meal preparations for the baby and then run errands in Greenville that afternoon!

Saturday we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch so Granna Wylie could see Lydda Grace on the playground, then we stopped at a park on the way home and went to the Spring football game after naptime! That night Jon and I went to the Student Affairs Gala, compliments of him being the Student Affairs Employee of the Year :)

Sunday was church, the International Festival and night church, where they had a children's program and Lydda Grace had fun watching the other kids! After every song they did she would say, "Yay!" So precious!

Here are pictures from the weekend.....

Sliding at CFA---- "whee!!"


At the Rock in Death Valley

Christy and family came over for the game too. She is due 2 weeks after I am! We were friends all through college and roommates for 2 years, so great to see her!!!


Here are Jon and I all dressed up for the Gala.... and just to be honest I cropped this picture because my legs looked huge! ugh!

Easter weekend

This was a BUSY Easter weekend for us! We got to Chapin Thursday night made a trip to the zoo Friday morning, went to the park that afternoon, and had dinner on the boat that night. Saturday we had a huge multi-family yard sale at my dad's office and celebrated mom's birthday that night! Then Sunday was Easter! Whew! This was our last trip before the baby comes, we're due one month from today... WOW!

Here are a few highlights from the MANY pictures I took!

Here we are at the zoo. My camera battery died so this is from my dad's phone.
Not too sure about these birds flying all around!

Checking out the bears.

Lydda Grace loves helping PopPop drive the boat!

On our way out to celebrate Gran's (aka Bebe's) birthday!




After church on Easter!
Hope everyone had a blessed Easter!!
