Poor Emily next door was the victim of Maria and her school scissors. Ah summer... what will it bring next?

      My favorite place to be in the summer. I feel like I am on the page in the book Summer where they stand under the waterfall.

                                            It was a little cold for Maria.

                            

Vera loves these purple glasses, wears them everywhere. Not really the best look for her.

                                                                

10 Years with Lydia Sue!

             June 8th, right out of the womb! Lid had tons of black hair and never slept. She just looked around the room quietly with wide eyes.

        1st Birthday! We family over for some Sunday cake and ice-cream. Lid wore my favorite dress and cleaned up in the hose after. 

       2nd Birthday. Couldn't find a picture from that day, but it was a good one! We took lid to buy a fish that she named Elmo (what she called the movie Nemo, her favorite).

     Lucky 3rd Birthday at Disneyland! It was actually pretty magical. Lid thought the princesses were real.

      4th Birthday, another dreamy one in sunny California! We had a great day swimming topped off with a killer party thrown by Grandma and Aunt Arleen poolside with a Care Bear cake. Daddy also had an awesome cast. 

       5th Birthday included a fashion show at home with dress-ups, jewelry and make-up and Grandmas money cupcakes.

     This is my favorite picture, but my computer skills are weak. How do you rotate??? 6th Birthday spent the way it should; swammin with her best pal Bug and sippin sodas.

      Most birthdays start with gifts on the basket in the morning followed by a PB donut. 7th Birthday Daddy and I took Lid to dinner and then to the mall for a makeover!

       8th Birthday at the Lion House! This was a great day of playing pioneers and taking cool pictures on Temple Square. 

            Whoa, Lid, easy on the cream filled donut! 9th Birthday Lid had another backyard fashion party where Ang the hairstylist came. A freezing dinner at Pizza Factory and a suprise trip to California from Aunt Arleen the next day with me and Vera.

        Here we are at number 10! We are SO glad that you are in our family. You are kind, fun, funny, helpful, patient, happy, and the best oldest child anyone could ask for. We love you Lydia!
