Father's Day...


Today, in church, our pastor encouraged us to write a heart-felt letter of gratitude to our fathers... well, my dad passed away September 7, 06..... but here is what I would have *loved* to have shared with him....



Dad, thank you for always being my biggest fan! Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that I had a dad that loved, cherished, and absolutely supported me! I still have a lot of my valentine's day cards that you sent me while I was away at A&M. Even though I didn't have a "real" valentine, you always remembered to send me a card! You were so thoughtful! It always made me laugh because you always bought the same Valentine's Day card every year! Also, I still vividly remember all of the fun times we had together--like playing Crazy 8's after school, putting my hair in crooked pig-tails (yes, I didn't look too cute...)and taking bike rides to the park. You always put a smile on my face. I learned so many valuable lessons from you & mom! Thank you for every thing that you ever did for me! Even though, I may not have said as many "thank you's" as I should have, I am so wonderfully thankful that I had such a loving & supportive father! I'm still your little girl! Love, T





Well...there is my small little note that I would have LOVED to have shared with my dad! Just thinking about him puts a smile to my face. If you knew him, you would know what a good guy he really was--even if he was "obsessed" with his watches! haha! Even though I miss him so dearly, I am so thankful that my dad was able to walk me down the aisle (well, he really rolled me down the aisle--he was in a wheelchair at my wedding)! Also, I am thankful that he was able to see me become a mother (when Avery was born). He would have loved to have known Cooper & Bella Kate. I can just imagine how much fun he would have had playing with Cooper (my little monster).

I hope everyone had a fantastic Father's Day!

Sweet Bella Kate





Our little bundle of joy is getting bigger! My little baby is *growing* up! Enjoy the pictures of her! Of course, I added a picture of Cooper & Avery! I couldn't resist! Have a great day!

Better Late Than Never


















Here are some *adorable* pictures of Avery's 3rd Birthday! Thank you to all of you that enjoyed the day with her! She still talks about her birthday party!! Avery thinks that she'll have a birthday party every month-- not a bad idea!!

What's a mom to do?




I always get asked.... what do you do all day with your babies? Well, since school has been out... this is what the Lyday household looks like at any given moment. :) Enjoy the pics! Yes, I discovered Snow White rummaging through my fridge looking for yogurt! Mr. Cooper was crying because he wasn't getting good enough service during breakfast yesterday! And Sweet little Bella Kate just hanging out listening to her "crazy" brother and sister! Let's see what today brings the Lydays....
