Life is Good: July 2011

Andi comes to Visit (update 4)

This post will make me up to date. In fact while I've been updating, Andi has been sleeping and I'm thinking why? you know she's going to wake up early. You should get sleep too. Yay like that happens, that's why mom's are tired all the time, you can't get others things done when your playing with the kids. My house has not been clean since we walked in the door with her yesterday you would never guess that I spent all week cleaning, and decluttering, (oh I guess I have another post later you should see my garage), but you know what. It's all worth it.

Our pot at the end of the rainbow! don't you love it, she's a ball of fun.

Not even two hour of being here, the dumping begins, she knows how to have a good time.

Andi is already to go to the PTO movie in style. I just had to get the skirt at Costco when we went there the other day, Her mom hasn't even seen it yet, but she is one cool girl.

She's playing us a song on the harmonica, she's finally figures it out.

We took Andi to the splash pad today, it looked like a lot of fun. We couldn't stay and play much because it was infested with bees, there were bees everywhere, one doesn't want to find out if one's allergic when mom and dad aren't around, We already sent her home one time with a scab nose.

She did get to play on the park for a few minutes, but they were a little hot.

We then went for a ride and got an icee (Andi's fav), dinner, bath, jumping, and thousand of books and off to bed.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

WHO JUMPS IN HEELS?

ANDI DOES, SHE LOVES TO WEAR OTHER PEOPLE'S SHOES ALL THE TIME. YOUR LUCK IF YOU CAN FIND THEM WHEN YOU NEED THEM.

Can't wait for tomorrow to start! Well I can at least till 7:00 am please, Let's not do 2:00 am again PLEASE!!!

Alley turning 8 (update 3)

My sister Angela called me and asked to take pictures of Alley in her white dress for her Baptism invitations. Of course I could not turn the opportunity down. I'm always looking for opportunities, for some reason Hunter doesn't like me taking pictures of him. Should had been into this much when my girls were home, I know one of them would had posed for me.

We went to a couple of places here in town, and Alley was a great sport, I told Angela we could last as long as Alley can. I think Alley might have out lasted us, I ran out of idea's. It was a lot of fun. Of course before we started I surfed the web for a few ideas, didn't really find what I had in mind. I thought it would be cool to take some with balloons, so I went and bought 8 white balloons since she was turning 8. It was a lot of fun using the balloons, but also a little work because we had a breeze that would blow them and tangled them some.

It was hard for me to decide which one I like best for here are about 25 of them. Alley was easy to work with, you mention boys, willy wonka candy or just birthday and you would get big smiles, I loved it when I ask her for a little attitude!

SHE WAS TOLD NOT TO SMILE

Andi Turns 2! update 2

Andi turned 2! We went to Cedar for her Birthday and this was her cake minus some frosting since her fingers seem to find it way as soon as it can. She had a few friends over and a few cousins. She had a wonderful time,

Aunt MaKayla made it there too, and she spent her time setting up the back yard for the party so the kids could run and have fun. We had a box castle tent, tunnels, bouncy gym with lots of balls.

The party was a Toy Story theme, Andi has been really into Buzz Light year lately, who would ever thought that would be the theme for a two year old girl, Jessica said she wanted a pinata but not one they would have to hit with a stick or bat, So I made one like the ball in toy story, I did it a little different this time, and I have to say it made one really strong pinata. It's not the first one I have made that wouldn't break open, nor will it be the last. It took the Adults in taking turns beating it and kicking and and body slamming it trying to get it open. It was fun watching...
