YEY for internet!!!!

     We finally got internet yesterday!!  So now I can get back to updating my blog a few times a week.  It really stinks not having internet.  But those stinky days are over.
     We have been doing good since my last update.  Kevin is done in Oklahoma and in Springfield.  He will have to go back to Springfield one more time before he graduates, but it's only for a couple of days.  It's so nice to be back in Tyler.  Even though I didn't grow up here, it feels like home now.  It's nice to have our family and friends so close and to actually be able to hang out with them.  Tonight I'm going to Starbucks to meet up with a few other girls from the church and then Saturday I'm going to a baby shower.  It's just fun to be involved in these things again!  I definitely took it for granted when we lived here before. 

 Lydia likes her new room and all the space she has to play!

 I found Lydia some skinny jeans at the CCC sale a few weeks ago.  So cute!!

 Lydia LOVES Mimi and Pawpaw's trampoline!!!  She would play on that thing all day if we would let her.

 Lydia also loves her books.  Especially pulling all of them off the shelf so Mommy can pick them up.  :)

 This day she wanted Mommy to wear her hat and then for me to put it on her head.   Then she would take it off and hand it back to me to put back on my head and then back on her's.  We did this over and over and over....

 She has become quite fond of her pony she got for her birthday.  She rocks back and forth with much enthusiasm!

She's a cutie and getting so big!

What We've Been Up To

Lydia enjoys rides in her wagon. 

She especially likes it when the dog joins in on the walks.

Her first fishing trip with Dada.  It was a success! 

My little fisher woman. 

Nana kisses! 

Playing in my suitcase during our brief stay in Oklahoma.  Poor thing didn't have much more to do. 

Reading the paper with Grandpa. 

Her first oreo.  It got pretty messy. 

Play time with little Miss. Lauren! 

We went to Wingstop the other night and met some friends for dinner.  Lydia got to hand out at the kiddie table.  If you can't tell, she had a good time. 

Playing with her buddy Lauren.

Friday we moved into our apartment and things are good.  Lydia is now settled into her new room.  She has a huge room and closet!  We have enough space to put all her toys in her room and have plenty of room to play.  Which is very nice.  Speaking of Lydia, she is growing up so fast.  She looks and acts more like a little girl every day.  The other day she grabbed her play cell phone and put it up to her ear and said "ehho".  It was super cute.

Kevin goes back to OK tonight, but will hopefully be back on Thursday.

Finally

     I know, I know, it's been too long.  I just really haven't had the opportunity to update my blog recently.  To catch you up on everything thats been going on...after Kevin and I moved out of Springfield (now over a month ago) we spent a week in Tyler before heading back to Tahlequah, OK.  We were there for two days and I decided it was miserable and I wanted to come back to TX.  It was a tiny little apartment, not much room for Lydia to play and crawl around.  I think we were both unhappy there.  So that coming weekend we repacked all our stuff and headed back to TX.
     We have now been here for almost 3 weeks while Kevin has been back in OK, visiting a couple times.  Kevin just got in town today and is staying through the weekend.  Lydia was sooo happy to see her Dada.  And Kevin enjoyed watching her walk all over the place.  She is now such a good walker.  I was wondering if Lydia would remember Kevin, cause last time he was gone for 2 weeks she didn't remember him when she saw him again.  But her face lit up today when she saw Dada and she didn't let go of him for the longest time.  If he put her down she was right there hanging onto his legs to pick her up again.
     This Friday we move into our own place in Tyler!!  I'm super excited.  Kevin and I have been dreaming of the day when we get to move back to Tyler in our own place.  Kevin will probably go back to OK on Monday and finish up his one week he has there.  Then he will go back to Springfield for the next week, and then back to Tyler.  Lots of driving for him in the near future.  But I'm not going to think about him going back to OK, Lydia and I are going to enjoy the time we have with Dada.
