Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Happy St. Patty's Day! Andiee had her St. Patrick's Day party yesterday...here are a few shots...


This was one of her craft projects that she did...so cute!

Andiee...working on her crafts...ok, mostly eating, but she did have fun with her crafts too!(=
























Bike Trailer

We just bought a new bike trailer for Andiee to tow behind our bikes...yes, one more accessory for the little munchkin!! (= Kyle thinks we need to buy a bigger house just to fit all of her stuff in! We are so excited to use it now that the weather is getting nice...and she LOVES it. We have it parked in the living room...everytime we go in there, she gets in, brings her babies to sit next to her and tries constantly to get her arms in the straps....once she is in, I can't get her out!!




She wants the whole top flap all the way down, so she is completely enclosed and gets cranky at you if you try to pull it back up...such a goof.

Ready for summer!!

This morning when I was trying to get our stuff unpacked and put away, Andiee found her new flipflops and her swim floaties and insisted on putting them on. She also found the bottom of her swimsuit and sat there trying to get it on for about 5 minutes before I snuck it into her drawer. She is definitly ready for summer, I wish I could say the same...but it is hard to think it will be warm soon with a couple of new inches of snow out the front window...YUCK!

She doesn't care where she wears them, as long as they are on her somewhere!










San Diego Trip

Kyle's work (Granite) won a big construction award for the I-15 job that we came to Utah for. So, Granite flew us out (wives included) to San Diego for the weekend to attend the banquet where they were presented the award. It was a fast weekend, but we had a lot of fun...and enjoyed a bit of warm weather before heading back to snowstorms in Utah.


Kyle and Andiee walking down town San Diego.

Beautiful palm trees


View of of our window in our hotel (Marriott).



Another view out of our window.




I didn't get the best picture of this, but this is a stretch woody with a surfboard on top...pretty sweet (except for that it was actually a stretch excursion - wantabe woody)
Andiee eating a lemon, which she loves, but this time was actually eating peel and all...we have a very strange kid! (=



Smelling flowers



Kyle and I at his banquet all dressed up! (= We left Andiee overnight with my friend Anna-Lisa who lives there....our first night with out her!...Thanks so much Al!! We actually did pretty good and it was nice to have a relaxing evening, which I can't remember the last time we have had without her!







We had a suprise concert at Kyle's banquet...our own personal concert with Phil Vassar!! It was very cool, our table was right next to the stage...no security and he shook hands with everyone and is a very cool guy!














Kyle and Andiee at Mission Beach





Our little surfer girl






Andiee's first experience with sand...not liking her hands dirty!




Pointing to the water and running straight for the surf...this kid has no fear when it comes to water!!







Daddy and Andiee running on the beach



Loving the ocean...we can't wait to come back!




Us at the marina in front of our hotel




We got Andiee a backpack leash to control her...she is crazy and will run anywhere!! Yes, I did feel a bit like I had a dog on a leash (she would even wrap around our legs), but it was worth it!








Andiee found a pair of VERY cute Reef flipflops in a little shop, and Daddy was a sucker and bought them for her...she loves them SO much that she wanted to wear them to bed! We had to hide them from her when we came home to utah since it is a bit colder here.




Andiee and Anna-Lisa

Old buddies...we go WAYYYYY back! (=

Andiee loves Kyle's (Anna-Lisa's Kyle) shaved head!


In the truck on the way home...Andiee pulled her blanket over her head and crashed before we even pulled out of the airport parking!


Playdate

Just a couple random pics at our Burger King playdate the other day.

Mikayla and Andiee playing on the toys.

Lil' Artist

So, I covered the pool table in our basement the other day with a sheet and plastic and layed out sheets of paper, gave Andiee finger paints and let her go at it!


At first she didn't know if she liked it on her hands since she can't handle having even the tiniest spec of anything on her hands...but it didn't take her long...

The artist at work...deciding precisely where the paint should go on the paper

Starting to get a little messy







I love this look....whats this stuff on my hands??









Getting more paint herself since clearly there is not enough! (=





Little shoe diva...she found my heels and insisted on wearing them around...suprisingly she was able to walk in them for a little ways. Such an accessories girl...hats, shoes, sunglasses, purses...anything she can put on and wear, she will wear it all day if I let her!





Somehow...her puma socks and bright green pants don't quite go with the shoes...but hey...she's the boss, not me!
