Month of May

It has been a while since I posted, now I am posting a month's worth of photos...we've been a bit busy, but are loving that summer is finally here!!


Andiee's "kids in the kitchen" playdate. They made dirtcups (oreo cookies and choc pudding) and worms.

As you can see...she very much enjoyed it!

Loves smelling all the flowers


Kyle and I did race for the cure in Salt Lake with some of our friends...great time, lots of people and a good cause. We rode the train down to Salt Lake for added fun for the kids.



Kyle and I with Andiee in the B.O.B.




Our group







Andiee got her "race for the cure" scarf and was all about wearing it around on her head...ha...so funny.


Back shot...lil' gansta (=


Helping daddy fix the fence in her pj's...she was very serious about fixin' it up!



Went to Tracy Aviary (bird zoo) and she was letting the baby ducks peck at her fingers.







Eating her lunch on a park bench...funny picture.




Andiee's new ride



Andiee and Mikayla having a tea party at her table with their babies.


My latest craft project...I made Andiee a tutu and she LOVES it! I have to hide it from her because she wants to wear it all the time and wont take it off.



Twirling with her tutu.


Our little princess (=




First swim of the season...and still is crazy about the water.





Happy Mother's day! Kyle and Andiee got me 2 beautiful hanging baskets...love them!



We went to the park for craft time and painting...Andiee is wearing her ladybug hat she made and her paint shirt.




Lady bug hat again.


We are SOOOO excited...Kyle's parents came down this weekend and brought us our boards (larry cut with his sawmill) and Kyle and his dad are building us a deck out our back door. They got most of it put together by the end of the weekend and are working on the railing and steps today.



Coming together.....



Andiee (the big helper) helping Papa with the screw gun...making sure he does it right (=




Helping some more.



I have been doing a bit of landscaping as our deck is being worked on...planting lots of flowers, some trees and some bushes....everything is coming together and looking great!! I also got my garden all planted last week...can't wait for fresh veggies this summer!




More deck pics...



Kyle...looking pretty good with a broom...loving the look (=


Today...railing going on


Went on a little hike/picnic with a couple of friends today. Thought this picture was so cute...Andiee and Mikayla got a hold of some wipes and were both washing their babies.




Andiee playing in the ICE cold creek and didn't care a bit. Luckily I brought a spare set of clothes because she pretty much bathed in the creek...I could barely put my feet in it was so cold. Crazy kid!

Vegas!!

The 3 of us went to Vegas this last weekend and stayed in our timeshare down there...we had SUCH a great time, we are already starting to plan our next trip! It was gorgeous weather..upper 80's/lower 90's. So we spent quite a bit of time at the pools and a little time on the strip.


Andiee...heading for the pool...thats all she wanted to do everyday...



Chillin' with dad on the porch






Drivin' down the strip (or pretending)




She fell in love with the biggest stuffed animal she could find at FAO Schwartz toy store...no we didn't buy it. (=



Watching the dolphins swim and jump at The Mirage.






More stuffed animals to drag around.








Our cute little family (=
