Lydia wins a bike

Yep, Lydia won a bike at school. Lindon Elementary gave away one bike to the lower grades and one bike to the upper grades for perfect attendance. My lucky girl got it! It was the next size up from the one she has and it was perfect for her. She's on a winning streak. Maybe I should take her to Vegas.

Bryant is 2

That's right folks, my baby is 2 now. We went to Monkey Island and he had a blast! He had not fear and went on all the big slides. He often landed on his face, but he just laughed and kept going. He is all boy. While both girls often came to me with a bump or a burn, he played to his hearts content. He loved opening his presents, and of course we had cake. We had to relight the candles about a dozen times because he wanted to blow them out again and again. Bryant is saying more words and even some sentences. He is a picky eater, but will eat some traditional kiddie foods like mac and cheese, ramen noodles, hot dogs, and pizza. He prefers to be outside playing with a ball or in the water. He smiles and laughs a lot and he is a clown. He is very entertaining to the rest of us. We love you baby boy!

Lydia's last day of 1st grade

Last year Lydia was very sad when school was over for the year. This year she celebrated with the rest of the kids. She had a great year and loved her teacher. I think this time she realizes that there are good things to come next year too. She has a new teacher to the school, Mrs. Wright and several of her friends are in the same class. She is also excited to ride the bus with Ali this next year! We had a bus stop party and the kids loved it.
