May 2013

May was a beautiful month and we enjoyed spending most of our time outside.  My sister and her husband (Jen and Jeff)  went to Havasupai for a few days and we got to watch and play with Sadie while they were gone. It was fun to watch Lydia and Sadie together, now that they are getting old enough to actually play together. For the most part, they were even on the same schedule.

We also enjoyed the park, although Sadie was a bit unsure about going down the slide. Lydia was running around the whole time, so this was the best picture I could get. One of the days, Caleb (Lydia's friend) came over to play for a few hours as well. They loved pulling everything out of the toybox together. Top right pic: We biked to the library and while crossing the parking lot, I told Lydia and Sadie to stay together. They grabbed each other's hands and walked through the parking lot together. They didn't want to let go in the library either, so they walked up and down the isles together holding hands. It was so cute! 

Of course, there was plenty of time for eating and drinking! Lydia has always loved her food, but it was even more noticable when Sadie was there as well. I think Lydia ate 3 times as much as Sadie. Definately my girl. The days went by quickly and before we knew it, it was time for Sadie to go back home. We need to get together more often to play!

Lydia got some new bath toys (rubber ducks) and had fun playing with them in her little pool outside.

Such a big girl! Helping sand grandma and grandpa's playset. Lydia loves to help me with whatever I am working on. I was surprised at how long she stayed and helped before wanting to go play.
