Lazy 5 Ranch

I forgot to post these. We had the animals eating right out of our hands!

I cut my hair!!

A F T E R ...




I got sick of my long hair! I told the stylist to do what ever he wanted with it, as long as I didn't look like a "Butch". I like it much better short!

Yvette and Brody

Yeah! Eva and Brody just visited with us for a few days and we had so much fun! We went to Disney on Ice, Discovery Place Children's Museum, where we watched rats play basketball, and of course, you can't go to Charlotte and not visit the Lazy 5 Ranch! We also cooked, baked, and ate out... of course. It would not be an Arredondo Reunion without the food! Luckily Josh was there to finish off most of the desserts. Here are some pictures of what we made http://bradandyvette.blogspot.com



We were able to get some awesome pics at Disney on Ice. Lydia was pretty enthralled most the time. I had to bribe her with popcorn so she could leave her seat and go to the bathroom. Brody actually was into a lot of it.... and danced and clapped with Lydia! (1st picture: Notice Brody pulling Lydia's hair..we caught in the act! =)

Lydia and Ella Strike a Pose

Family Portrait

I don't know if anyone will be as excited as I am about this, but Lydia now knows how to draw stick people. She came home one day and started drawing circles with hands and legs. Then added on hair, nose, and ears. The one on the left is Lydia, with a "milk mustache" and "lots of hair". The one in the middle with the bigger head is mom. And the smaller one with "big ears" is dad. (The sun is above us.) I didn't teach her how to do this..it's like one day it just came to her. She's now been trying to practice drawing her friends, Jarret and Landon. I can't believe my baby is going to be almost 4 soon!

SIDE NOTE: *Four years later, and I still can't get rid of this "baby fat" =)

A little Quirky!

Yesterday night I went in to check on Lydia after repeatedly telling her to stay in bed. She kept running up and down the stairs opening and slamming the cabinets. Finally after I heard about 20 minutes of silence, I opened her door and she was fast asleep on the floor, which she does a lot! I looked up at her bed and there was a random pile of "stuff" on it. Seriously, about 3 or 4 times a week, she makes random piles of stuff on her bed, sometimes covering her bed! Then she'll sleep on the floor because there's no room!
So in this picture, some random stuff. Wondering what's going through her head, " Umbrella, check..flashlight, check....wire whisk, check...talking Dora, check..check .
What an imagination =)
