Andi spends the week.

Feb. 28 - March 4, 2001 

A day at the park...




Jessica called Monday and asked if I could come up for a couple of days because the girls were sick.  I couldn't go because I had our Ward Relief Society Birthday Celebration on Tues. so Duane  went up to help and ended up bringing Andi home to Mesquite.


When Andi comes to Mesquite she loves to go to the park with her papa. The only thing is that papa tries to teach her how to do things at the park that aren't quiet age appropriate so once in a while you get the tears.


She would do any of the slides, that is if Mahana would do them first. Mahana would go down the slide and then she would.


On another day we went to the park and she kept calling for Mahana to try it out first, but we didn't have her with us we left her home. She would keep slapping her leg yelling for Mahana.

 

Great Grandma Thurston wanted to go do some measurement on her property out in AZ. We were going to take the jeep and we had to fix a few things so the car seat could go in. 

We had gotten Hunter new seats for the jeep for Christmas, so she is helping us install the new back seat. When we were finished with the tools she didn't want to give them up.

The Jeep ride.


Andi loved the jeep ride. She enjoyed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the way out and enjoying the sun glasses on the way back.

Great Grandma Thurston gave a goodie basket to Andi filled with treat and toys.

She really enjoyed the bubbles... They worked really well until she had to hold them. There's just something about holding a bottle of bubbles straight up and not spilling them all over the ground without blowing them.

Once she lost interest in the bubble she made a mad dash to her papa. She did pretty good stomping through the desert.

Once she got her papa she took his finger and lead him back to Great Grandma Thurston car and raided for more cookies. She really did do it herself except open the car door.

Also while Andi was here we got all the weed pulled and cleaned the yard and we are all ready to plant some vegetables so we can see how fast we can kill them.


This is the first time we have had the hammock out in two years. I missed it.


Other things I wish I had pictures of:


Hunter driving Andi around in the rhino with her car seat strapped in. She loves the Rhino.
Andi dancing with MaKayla,  Andi raiding MaKayla's freezer for Popsicle.


One I did try to get was Andi teasing Mahana. Tried to get a video clip, but every time I would get the camera out she would notice and stand up and say cheese.


We  have to lock Mahana in her cage quiet often, for her safety and Andi's. Andi is not afraid of Mahana and she loves to tease her. Mahana was in her cage and Andi would keep going up to the cage and act like she was ever going to touch Mahana, Mahana would growl at her.  She would put it up close and hurry and pull it back and just laugh and laugh. Still one in a while she would pull the dogs hair and Mahana will snap at her, then she cries. You would think she would learn but she doesn't and she goes back for more.


We had Andi until Friday. It was a lot of fun having her. We joke that next time we are going to run away to Disneyland with her,
