MaKiNg NoIsE!: August 2007

Toddler free time

This is what happens when you ignore your toddler for 10 minutes. This is also what I get for letting the girls play in the big tupperware with various large amounts of edibles. At least she wants to share, right? Oh and the bottom pic is for Nicole, retinoblastoma police ;) j/k I love ya!

Oops

So this was supposed to go under the other zoo post, oh well. So yeah, enjoy the pics and see the description below ;)

First trip to the Zoo!

I know, I am a negligent parent. My oldest child is almost 2 1/2 and I just now took her to the zoo. It was really Sarah, Joe and Gracie that gave me the impetus to go, so give them props! I have to say Andi enjoyed it more than anyone I think.
Tenna was fascinated by the tigers. I thought for sure that the zebras would be the thing, but she had to eat lunch like a tiger, so that is the difinative favorite.

And yes, Sarah and her Victoria Bekham style get more photos, cuz she deserves it!

Because Andi is our water baby

I know I am a bad mom, no bathing suit. I was just planning on cleaning out the pool and playing outside, but once it was clean the girls NEEDED to be in it! I love this picture because it iw how they always are. Tenna splashin and Andi having fun anyways. Ah summer.

More House Stuff

So these are not even close to the same view, but I figure you get the idea. This is the back yard, which still needs a lot of help, but it is doing well. I must repent for not showing the crapy old metal shed that the boys ripped out and the lovely new one they built from scratch, I'll get on that! I do think it is funny how the tomato plants sort of blend into each other, they are huge.

Happy Birthday Andi!

Yes, my little baby is ONE! I can't believe it! The girls have both been excited all week to get balloons, so this made their day! So much fun to see what has changed the last year! (see below for pre/present house pics).
As you can see, Tenna has been hamming it up for us and making it a fun day for sister! I will post more birthday pics as they come!

Thanks GG Dadds!

Andi LOVES soft things! She also LOVES books! So thank you GG Dadds! She wasn't sure about the wrapping stuff, so she just handed it to me, but she loved the insides!

Before

Our house before!

A year later

We still need to paint the house, ect..but it has come a long way! Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard with us and helped us on our way!

Pics from the future

Ok, so it hasn't occured yet, but Andi turns one this Friday. Grandma and Grandpa brought up an early gift though, so we have some interlude pics. We have already worn this outfit three times! Thanks!

First ever spaghetti-o's! Can you tell she enjoyed it? Just ignore that smug look ;)

So this is an older picture. This was out harvest when we got home from a week in Boston. I thought that was a lot of tomatoes, but now we have, or have gone through 17quarts bottled, four batches of fresh salsa with aproximately 40 pounds of tomatoes on my table waiting for my sister-in-law to come and make salsa with....hmm the point...I think we planted enough tomatoes! Though I have to say I am most impressed with the early girls. I picked about 15 pounds from one plant yesterday! The acorn squash is pretty amazing too! I think I could love this!

Computer is fixed and I must amend!

I know I cannot make up for the amount of time that I was not blogging so i won't try. Our computer is fixed so I will put up a few of my faves from the last month ;) Tenna is enjoying the garden. More than anything she loves the grape tomatoes, but she can deal wtih the squash if we grill it. Andi LOVES the croock neck squash. She begins to whine the second she sees me get one out.
