10 Months and Farm Fun

Wow how time flies, we can't believe it has been 10 months since little Izze came to join our family. She sure has developed quite the personality and cracks us up with her funny quirks. She has taken to moving around rather speedily now and manages to find a way to get what she wants. Izze has already learned how to be a picky eater, such a joy at meal times :) She loves to dance when music is playing and she loves to torture her sister by trying to bite her. Addie went to Wheeler Farm with some of her cousins and had a blast. She was even brave enough to pet the horse and almost the pig! The kids loved feeding the ducks four loaves of bread, I think they will be full for days. To finish off the day she had to prove she could climb into the baby swing at her Grandma's house, but once she realized she was stuck she wasn't so happy.

Grass Phobia

When we were in St. George a few weeks ago, I put Izze on the grass and she wasn't sure what to think about it. She never attempted to crawl and she always had one leg in the air, at one point she figured out how to put both legs in the air. It was so nice not to have to chase her for ten minutes, loved it.Since we have stairs and Izze is crawling all over the place, sometimes it is just easier to sit her on the stove in order to get things done :)

Yard Work

It has been a while since we have had to do serious yard work! It has been raining here so much that the grass is growing so fast. In the backyard the grass was up to Addie's knees, I wish I had thought to take a picture before Andrew mowed it three times!!! Addie was so excited to help push the lawn mower and Izze was content to be outside in her stroller. Next up: pulling weeds, if it ever stops raining ...

St. George birthday

It was nice

Happy Birthday ... to me!

What a fun birthday I had yesterday, thanks to all who wished me a Happy Birthday, for all the fun presents and good times. The girls and I were able to go to lunch with my sisters at Cheesecake Factory, yummy! Andrew picked up some fun mini cupcakes (my request instead of cake), Addie loved blowing out the candles. Andrew and I were able to go see "Iron Man 2" also, so fun to go out to the movies. The weather even sort of cooperated, although it was on the chilly side at least the sun was shining :)

Fun Run

Since my last 5k Addie has been asking to run a race too. We signed up for one on May 1 thinking it would be warm ... yeah right we live in Salt Lake! I ran another 5k in the rain, so not enjoyable, afterward Addie and I ran a mile fun run. Addie did really well, about half way she wanted me to hold her but I told her if she could walk/run the whole way she could pick a prize at Target. That was all the motivation she needed to put her little legs into action. We had a lot of fun and hope to do another one soon weather permitting :)
