Lydia On The Go!

Memories From the Phone: Pictures

I got a new phone and wanted to post all the pictures from the old one so they wouldn't be lost...

Drake wears his costume EVERYWHRE, even my ob/gyn's office!

One night Allie and I were playing the Wii together. I won, so Natalie drew this picture for Allie...it's me telling my sister "in your face" with 12 million points. Showed her, haha!

My step-dad, Craig, and the grandkids. 



We went to have lunch one day, and this is the ensemble Drake chose...full fireman gear.

Natalie's first field trip! Stahlei farm, here we come!

Bedtime story!

Drake wearing his costume and bat wings at Target.

We went to Lowe's, and Drake had to go to the restroom, but didn't want me to go in with him, so I waited outside the door.  The door wasn't locked, and a man walked in on him before I could stop him.  I quickly checked on him to make sure he was okay...this is what I saw...

Natalie drew a picture of me!

And Drake drew me, himself, and Shadow!

One morning, the kids played the Wii with socks on their hands.

Another of Drake's fab outfit choices...cape, swim trunks, and fireman boots!

Natalie and her bestie, Jack.

Drake wanted to sleep in my room while Kelt was at school...this is what he wore to bed that night...a Spider Man costume, sword, and shield.

This is what happens when I attempt to take a photo of my baby bump!

I was washing the dishes when I heard him say "hey, baby, you want a ride?"!

A giraffe Natalie drew.

This is a National Guard air freshener to hang in your car...or around your neck.  He smelled great for hours!

Drake's first visit to the dentist!

One night, after his bath, Drake asked for some noodles for a snack.  I told him to get his jammies on while I made them.  Instead, he played for a while and then found the noodles I'd set out on the table for him.  He ate them naked.

"Smile for dad!"

Natalie on the bus en route to her first field trip!

Memories From the Phone: Videos

I got a new phone and decided to take all of the pictures and videos off of my old one so they wouldn't be forever lost.  Here are the videos:

This is Drake singing the theme to one of his favorite shows, "Super Why!"...note the volume, haha! (Taken 12-11-2011)

A snippet of Natalie reading a book from Starfall.com, an educational website with books (10-28-2011)...

Natalie talking about her day at school (9-6-2011)...

.

Drake counting like a mad man (10-8-2011)...

The sweetest/saddest video ever taken. While Kelt was away at drill sergeant school, Drake heard an airplane and thought his daddy might be on it, so he was calling out to him, hoping he was coming home. It makes me cry every time! (9-19-2011)...

Drake "pumping iron" while I packed for the move (9-6-2011)...

Drake doing THE most hilarious noises for his "horse" (8-18-2011)...

A paper of Natalie's from school. She showed them! (1-19-2011)

Drake as a t-rex eating food (1-12-2011)...

Drake's victory hoot while playing Wii bowling (12-9-2010)...

Natalie singing her "Red Song" (11-7-2010)...

This was just after Natalie learned to ride a two-wheeler. She wanted a scrunched up water bottle for her back tire so it would make a motor-ish noise like all the neighborhood boys had (9-2-2010)...

Molly's Big Day

Today Allie and I decided on a whim that it was a great day for big, three-year-old Molly to get her ears pierced.  So off we went to Claire's...

 Before...

 After (awwww)

 This is the only picture of them all looking at the camera.  Thanks, guys...

 We completed our trip by visiting the Barnes and Noble train table, where someone quickly forgot all about the fact that she'd just had holes punched in her ears!
