Pictures of Lydia

Grandma and Lydia

Lots of dark hair--that's the 1st thing everyone notices

Once again, Caitlyn and her new toy--oops, I mean little sister.

We're so glad when Grandma comes. . .

We finally made it to the day when my mom came to visit. We were so excited!!

As soon as we got her home from the airport in Dallas, she whipped out the "grandma goodies". These were treats she got at Disneyland (she came straight from there to here--after spending time with Adam's family).

This was the 1st Sunday in Oct. the day before Lydia was born, the girls are all occupied during General Conference.


Sorry for the delay in pictures--things have just been sooooooo busy!!

Lydia's 1st day Oct. 5th 7:54pm

Everyone got to visit us in the hospital--Caitlyn took an instant liking to her new little toy--oh, I mean sister.

Posing and Soccer

Caitlyn loves to dress up, especially if she's watching a certain movie.

Sometimes she just likes to kick back with dad on his bed.

This was Meghan and Haley's 1st soccer game--They won!!

I scream for ice cream!

Caitlyn is a true Brems. She LOVES ice cream.

Good to the last drop!

Getting every last bit--PRICELESS!!

Happy 9th Birthday!!

My oldest, 9 years old--CRAZY!! We love you Meghan!



Meghan chose TGIFriday's for dinner, and we all loved it!!



Opening presents is always exciting--Thanks G-ma Brems for remembering how much Meghan loved this little monkey!

Caitlyn loves the "Celebrate" song from the card--she ended up carrying it around with her for the next couple of days.





All of her gifts, she had lots of fun.

Is that a baby?

So I've had several little kids ask me if I was going to have a baby. Just to be silly, and to see their reactions, I've told them "no, this is where I keep my basketball". The expressions were priceless.

I seem to carry really low during all of my pregnancies, and this one doesn't seem any different. In fact I think that since I carry so low that some people don't even realize I'm pregnant until 8 or 9 months along. I know that sounds crazy, but I've had many people say "wow, I didn't know you were pregnant", and these are people that I see all the time.

Anyways, I don't really like my picture to be taken during this time of pregnancy, but I feel an obligation to my unborn to let them know how I looked while I was carrying them. I also feel an obligation to all my family that never gets to see me (mom, this one's for you--just in case you don't see me before I have this baby). Haley took these pictures for me.

WHAT, that's so GROSS!!

Isn't this such a sweet little girl?

Well, that's what I thought until one day after her (supposed) nap. I've heard of this happening to other people, and I was so grateful that I made it through 3 girls without it ever happening to me. . .

After laying Caitlyn down for a nap and letting her talk in her bed for a good little while, I finally decided to go check on her to figure out why she wasn't going to sleep. She seemed good, nothing wrong, so I layed her down again and left.

Once again, after a good little while, she was still singing and talking to herself, but no sleep. Then out of the blue a scared cry "mommy, mommy". Well, I hustled in there, but as soon as I opened the door, I got a terrible waft of smelly air. Next, I tried to find the sweetie in bed, sure enough there she was, but with NO DIAPER on. Now I am scared. As I got closer, and to my horror, I see that this sweet little girl has taken off her "messy" diaper and discovered the contents by smooshing it with her hands. It was all over her hands, legs and even bed.
(her bed after I cleaned it up)

Well, at least she didn't like it on her hands anymore so I was happy of that, thinking that maybe this would be the last time she ever did this. After cleaning it all up, then I remembered to take pictures, sorry folks I'm sure you would've loved to have seen all that!

Needless to say, there was no nap that day. But, I now have a great story to tell. I still love you sweet little girl Caitlyn. There has been 2 other incidents since then where I've gone in to find her diaper off. Luckily it wasn't "messy".
