Halloween Costumes

Yes, we finally moved into our new house!! We are SUPER excited about our new home! All of our little Lydays enjoy sleeping in their very own room! :)

We bought our Halloween costumes today at Target! Avery will be Little Mermaid, Cooper will be a Monkey (very fitting to his personality), and Sweet Bella Kate will be a Leopard (Avery's old costume). Avery was very worried that she wouldn't be able to walk in her mermaid costume since Ariel doesn't have feet in the movie.

Cooper isn't very happy about me taking his picture! :)

Cooper's costume is so precious! Here is his monkey hiney. :)

Here's Little Mermaid herself... Avery in all of her Ariel glory. :) I'm guessing that she's not going to want to take her costume off.....

Here's sweet Bella Kate below... yes, not a cute picture of myself...but she looks adorable. Bella Kate will be 7 months old on October 17th... my little one is growing up.

Here's a PIC of our really PRETTY new house.

Here's a pic of our PRETTY NEW house that we were supposed to close on and move into this weekend! :(
This is an "inside" picture of our pretty wood floors --yes, I held my camera up to the door window and snapped a picture! :)
This is Avery "practicing" her posing skills. We've got to practice her "poses" before we take school pictures one day.
Here's Mr. Personality.... His teacher told me today that he's the class greeter...he stands at the door and greets all the parents as they pick up and drop off their children at school. Check out his really CUTE new hair cut...this was taken at the end of the day--but Mr. Cooper has "spikey" hair now.
Here's Jeremy & Bella Kate. Jeremy went Thursday for his "Pre-Hurricane" haircut...ask him for details of that. :) Bella Kate looks a little irritated. She's such a GREAT baby!!!

Here's the pic of the Port-a-Potty that we're thinking isn't going to stay on the ground during hurricane force winds. Yes, that's right next door to my mom's house (where we're living).

I keep thinking yet again...."Why Do I buy toys for Avery & Cooper?" Yes, that's Bella Kate's kick toy. This provided entertainment for quite a while. It all ended when Cooper kept trying to crawl through it and he kept falling over. Sweet little Cooper.

Here's Bella Kate really mesmerized by all the pre-Hurricane IKE coverage on TV.

Another "POSE" by Avery. We're working on it. She told me this was her "scary" smile. Ha. I told her that I would like to see her "pretty" smile. She insisted that her "scary" smile was much funnier.

She's cute isn't she?? Sweet Bella Kate.

With the upcoming arrivial of IKE....please stay safe, and take care. The Lyday's will be praying for everyone's safety.

Not moving in this weekend...Thanks IKE! :)

I would like to send a big thank you to Hurrican IKE! The Lyday's WERE supposed to close on our BRAND NEW pretty house tomorrow, but of course, we are not. AND we were supposed to move in this weekend! :) YUPIEE. Yes, I've already cried this morning. Maw Maw just thought she was getting rid of us this weekend....

Jeremy just added, let people know that we're "hunkering" down. :) hmmmm

Stay safe... We're gonna go move the port-a-potty that's next door now.... haha

The Little Lyday's first day of school! :)

Here's my new kindergarten team at BHE!!! We put on our "big" smiles for this exciting picture! This was right before Meet the Teacher Night began! :) I LOVE my new team!

Yes, Here's Avery "posing" for her 1st day of school pictures!!

Sweet Cooper was little sleepy!!! Cooper and Avery had a fantastic day at SCMS!! Avery didn't stop talking about Jeffery, Miss Sissy, an dMeagan! :) Cooper seemed really sleepy when he got home---so he was absolutly tired! :)

The Lyday Crew's Pictures!!!

Yea!!! I was so pleased to get our family pictures on CD today in the mail!! :)

Thank you Jennifer Berard for these AWESOME Pictures!

Enjoy!!!

Hey guys,

The Lyday Crew finally got an entire family picture taken! Yes, it was pretty much crazy and was not a lot of fun! (Running after Cooper was not very fun!) BUT the pictures turned out wonderful--for what we experience... Pictures outside at 1pm on a VERY hot day, a very "active" 21 month old, and a 3 1/2 month old baby...... so needless to say, I'm very delighted with the outcome of our picture session.

Check out the link to the Photographer's website (Jennifer Berard). The pictures are under the Family picture section of her website (the Gallery)

Our Annual Family Trip

The Lyday's definitely enjoyed our annual family trip! This year we went stayed in Log Country Cove on the Colorado Arm of Lake LBJ near Austin! After almost 4 hours in the van with Cooper, we were very excited to see everyone! Avery had a blast playing on the playground and swimming in the pool! I wish I had taken more pictures...but with 3 little ones I didn't remember to get out my camera!! Enjoy the pics! We cannot wait til next year!
