28 Pictures

 

 

Hi friends,

Don't think I've forgotten about you, but life is busy. I go to bed every night around 7:30 and get up a little after 6 every morning so that I am ready for the bus when it comes at 6:40am. My parents complain that they don't get to spend much time with me during the week. We've been trying to make up for lost time by doing lots of my favorite things on the weekends (park visits, trips to Grandma and Grandpa's in Colorado Springs, watching movies and hanging out with friends, etc.).

It's also been fun getting to know my new sister... she's pretty funny and cute! When she cries, I just say, "Mommy. Carly hungry." Or "Mommy. Carly bubber (pacifier)."

Carly is going to get baptized in church on Sunday; I get to go in front of church with her and Mom and Dad. Depending on my mood that day, I will either have fun with that or I'll be really shy - guess we'll find out!

Since the last time I updated you all, I participated in my 6th Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk and we celebrated Halloween. I've added quite a few pictures of these events plus some others for your viewing pleasure:

Aww... What a honey my little Carly is!

We are pretty good friends!

Sweet girl.

 

Team Lil' Lydia 2013!

The family in attendance this year (l to r): Auntie Nesser aka Aunt Jenness, Grandpa Mustache, Grandma Mustache, Me, Daddy, Mommy, Carly, Grandpa Glasses, Uncle Jason, Grandma Glasses.

So great to see so many people supporting the Down Syndrome community!

Hanging out at Camp Lil' Lydia is a blast. I was teasing Daddy... I would steal his hat so that he would have to chase me - he hates to have hat hair!

Mommy made my team banners for year number two at the Step Up Walk - they are hanging in there pretty well. Maybe we'll get some professional signs one of these times.



I didn't mention it before, but Mom, Dad, Carly and I joined Grandma and Grandpa Mustache in Steamboat for a little vacation... Here I'm practicing for senior pictures.




One weekend Gma and Gpa Glasses visited.

 



Carly enjoyed wearing her ghost shirt for Halloween.

Mom carved me a Mike Wazowski pumpkin - I love "Monsters, Inc."

I was Annie again this year for Halloween. It's so fun to do photo shoots in the leaves!

Grandma and Carly sportin' their Broncos gear.

We went to the park in Colorado Springs with Grandma and Grandpa - it was chilly, but if there's a park involved, I can brave any element.

Hmmm... This slide requires some courage!

Grandpa, Daddy and I pose before heading down the triple slides.

Weeee!

Off to the Pumpkin Patch. So many pumpkins, so litte time!

Naw, that's not it... keep looking!

Leave some for everyone else!

I want these!

No Smashing Pumpkins Dad!! Mommy mostly likes the background of this picture.

Mom loves this pumpkin cause it still has the vine - this would later become Mike Wazowski.

The pigs liked to eat pumpkins!

What fun watching the animals at the pumpkin patch.

Hope you were entertained with the pictures.

Hope you're having a happy Fall. I guess soon it will be Christmas - hard to believe!

Love you all and thank for hanging in there with me and my blog! Lydia
