Boys and their Toys!!

Aaron rented this big toy to get the driveway ready for an extention and also so we can finally have a sidewalk. Yipee!

Wow this looks bad!

Concrete Time!

Seriously they made this look way to easy! I think that's why you see so many St. Peter's Street workers standing around! (I just know I'm going to get in trouble with this post!!) Honestly they did a whole lot more of sitting around drinking and BS-ing than actual labor. Just kidding they did break a sweat. They earned their cold beverages. Thank you so much for doing this guys!

Aaron is in the bright yellow/green shirt. Chris is helping move the concrete. (His wife Tammy came over --she's a blast, then their poor daughter Kylie (aka izzy's new best friend) was stuck with Izzy. That girl has the patience of a Saint. She is the most well mannered sweetest nine year old I think we've ever met. Most big kids tell Izzy to buzz off. She was great with her--I'm thinking she's gonna be a great babysitter in the future!




Here's Frank (in the shorts--looking so serious) Aaron car pools with him to work each week. He's a great guy--and he's single ladies!!!


This is Frank and Mark. I have to be nice to Mark --he has bad stories of me from the last time we all went out!! He's a really fun guy and his wife Tina, is hysterical!! (she reminds me of Robbyn!) Aaron is very lucky to have such great people to work with!!

Wonder why I keep getting pics of all their butts?? I'm starting to think St. Peters could make money selling calendars of their employees!!!! What do ya think ladies??



Leaving her mark!

Here's Izzy putting her prints in the new extention of the driveway.

Yippee! We have a SIDEWALK!

We are moving on up here in the big town of Hawk Point!! Our stamped sidewalk turned out really well. (I had my doubts -but Aaron and his buddies did excellent work!)

Izzy just thought she was big stuff putting her hands in the concrete! There is a penny inbetween her hands--it's the year she was born. We hope it brings good luck!!

What happened?!!!

We must of had one hell of a wind storm Friday morning! Wasn't this a nice picture to come home to. Izzy was pretty upset! Her little playhouse was blown several feet (it was upside down) The neighbor even had my mailbox cover in her flowerbed!! And yet our back deck had a baby doll on the table--didn't move an inch--Crazy!!


Random Party Pics

I was trying to get a good pic of Aaron but it didn't really turn out to well.

Here's a pic of Lydia opening her gifts. Unfortunately Lydia is not in the pic b/c Aunt Steph is not a very good photographer! Lydia is the blur in the bottom left corner (I think!)
Can you believe Nancy decorated this cake!!
She did and AWESOME job.

ON A ROLL!

Leave it to little kids--they are completly surrounded by fun toys and this is where we find them--rolling down the hill!!!

Daisy!





This is Aunt Nancy's horse Daisy. Izzy is apprently quite the horse lover. I swear nothing scares this kid. She just gets right in there and walks around!

Fun at Lydia's b-day party

Grandma Janet rented a bouncy-ball thingy for Lydia's 2nd birthday. It was the hit of the party! I will admit it did get quite rowdy at times but the kiddos had a blast!

Tractor Time!

Here is Aaron's 'prize'
This will be 'a sharp looking tractor' when he's finished. I'll keep everyone posted on his progress!

Dying Easter Eggs





Okay so we decided to dye eggs at my house--I THOUGHT Iz would really be into it this year--wrong. THe adults were more into it than her! She had fun doing a couple. But then she wandered off to play with her newest toy (she LOVES her Cinderella doll from Ava)

Duh!! I forgot to post Easter pics!

It's hard to tell from the photo but it is snowing. (Which is why she is wearing rubber boots.) Her dress was beautiful--this pic does not do it justice. It is a Disney store dress so she has a little charm on her waist with her 3 fav. pricesses on it.

Budding Artists

Izzy and Lydia loved playing with the sidewalk chalk. It's a great way for Iz to practice writing her name too!!


Gator Time!




Putting her to work--isn't that what kids are for?? She loves helping clean up the yard if she gets to use her gator. Grandma Janet thought Izzy was such a big help. The dogs kept getting in her way. Our Nikki is on the right, G'ma and G'pa's dog Judy is on the left.

Freddy


Izzy caught me watching and wanted to pose for a picture!













Wonder what she's thinking?? She's having a stare down with Freddy the bull


Kite Flying




Aunt Nancy gave Izzy a kite for Easter. Since the weather was so nice on Sunday we decided to fly it. Aaron didn't have much luck. Izzy had fun chasing it though!

Yucky!!

What a mess!!!! She loved every minute of it!! I just turned my back for a minute and this is what I turned back to see!! You can't take your eyes off her for a second!!!


Just call me "Betty"

It's hard to see but she's holding up the biscuit she just cut out. She was amazed. I have now lost my biscuit cutter to her playdough bucket!


Betty Crocker




Izzy decided to "help" me make biscuits. Of course, she's shirtless (just be happy she's not just in her panties--her usually outfit!!) She had a blast rolling out her little piece of dough. I think she'll be a great cook someday!!
