Bath Time Helper

Lydia changes her mind as to whether she likes baths or not. Some days she screams the whole time and others she seems so relaxed and content.

One thing's for sure though...Robbie loves to help! He gets to wash her legs and feet and he takes his responsibility pretty seriously. He's such a great helper.

Tummy Time

Lydia's neck is getting stronger these days. She's been pretty good at lifting her head from the beginning, but she's holding it longer now.

A Little Photo Shoot

The other day I decided to take the little kiddies to our backyard for a little photo shoot.
Our first sweetheart wasn't in the mood to take too many pictures since the bubbles were waiting for him. This is really the only decent one...ha ha. I'll have to take him out again this week to get some 4-year-old shots, without the bubbles ;-)
And here's a few of our newest sweetheart

Our Week

This week my mom has been here to help with Lydia and Robbie.
It's been so nice to have her around. Robbie has loved the extra attention and I have loved the company and help around the house. It was especially fun to have her on Mother's Day. I haven't had a Mother's Day with her in quite a few years.
One night while she was here, Brian and I went on our anniversary date. We've been married 6 years now! Here's a picture of our new little family.Thanks for coming, Mom! We love you!

Father/Son Campout

This coming weekend is the Father/Son Camp Out for our Stake. Robbie came home from Primary so excited to go with his Daddy-with no girls! Brian knew this weekend would be a busy one for him at work, however, so they improvised and had their own camp out in our living room. They built a fort out of our sheets, played games, watched a movie, and had a blast together. The next morning, Brian took Robbie to lunch and to play miniature golf. They had so much fun together and I think Robbie appreciated the one-on-one time with Daddy.
