Some make believe fun!

We went over to Andreas house for a little bit Saturday and I noticed Leslie has some make up on. She said she did it herself and Andrea joked that she should go put some on Isaac too! So Les and Isaac went into her room to play dress up as the often do and after a while Isaac comes out looking like THIS! I was shocked into laughter. If you look close you can notice that she also tried to spike his hair and she used a lot of hair spray. It smelled really good too! We had to go do all our shopping with Isaac looking like this. He got a lot of comments. Well Leslie assured me the markers said washable and boy was she ever right. On the way home Isaac started throwing a fit and crying and it ran and ran and ran! I'm just glad we got it off for Sunday! And can you guess who he's supposed to be...I didn't.....Dorothy the dinosaur from the Wiggles. Ha Ha Ha

Its apple season again!

Oh my poor aching finger tips!!! Mom and Dad have a lot of fruit trees and of course they all have to come ripe at the same time. I've been busying myself this week with picking and things of that nature. Monday night Christina and I picked the peaches off the tree and then Tuesday Andrea helped me make jam out of it. Its still runny so Mom says I'm gonna have to boil it again! Ugh!! Christina and Andrea also picked four buckets of apples and put hardly a dent in the tree! I've spent four hours today slicing apples to store for pies and such and I only got half way through one bucket! Mom just kind of laughed and said yea its slow going. I feel like I didn't get anything done. My finger tips hurt though! I kept getting little pieces of apple under my pointer finger on my left hand. I'd say that one hurts the most. And there is still a pear tree that I wanted to get to but I am so overwhelmed with the apples that I'm afraid I won't get to them before they go bad and Mom says that happens fast. Obviously I have to talk to her a lot because I don't know how to do any of this stuff. I want to make lots of apple sauce and apple butter and things like that. Its all very exciting. Andrea's going to come help me on Monday for sure and maybe tomorrow and that'll make things move much faster with an extra person and Danica to keep my kids company. Poor Lucy was not happy with me today. I usual spend an hour cleaning and then have the rest of the day to play with them but I just had to work on apples.

Lucy

Ok so I took Andreas camera the other day and snapped some pics of the Lucy who is growing up too fast for me! She's usual very happy and sociable. It makes me laugh though when people at church say Oh I never hear Lucy cry! I want to say come to my house! She fake cries almost every time Isaac comes near her. I just wanna say Give me a break! Its like she's trying to get him in trouble or something. She must like playing with him though cause she follows him every where he goes.

Play time!

It might not be the best system ever but to get Isaac to pick up his toys in the living room I bribe him with Super Mario! He loves to play it, not that he can really do anything more than drive in circles, so I make him clean his mess before I let him play. It works for now! And he is very willing to clean to get play! He's a good boy!

Happy Birthday Lucy

July 25th was Lucy's first happy birthday. we had to celebrate it the Sunday before though for all the things that were going on that day! I had to go to Youth Conference that day. We were doing yard work on a habitat for humanity home. Dan was working that night too so we were too busy for any parties. It was our fifth anniversary that day too! It was nice though! She had some nice presents but the ones she loved the most were her little baby dolls that she got from Dan and me and Mom and Dad. It was funny when Dad and I were talking at church about what we got her for her birthday and I said we had got a baby doll and Dad was like we did too! And it was the same doll except different colors. She loves them though! She sits on a pillow with them and rocks them and gives them kisses. She's such a good little mommy. She is growing up too fast for me. We didn't take any pics of it though! Isn't that sad! Oh well, there's always next year!

Its been forever....

Sorry its been too long since I added pics but I lost my driver that I put my memory card into to put into the computer. I got pics coming out the wazoo of the babies though. They are growing up fast. Lucy started walking at the begining of the month and she's been unstoppable since. She also says three words now! Water, book, and bottle. Her three favorite things. Of course she just says the first sound of them but its still so cute. Isaac has finally decided that he can get out of the crib by himself. Its been a while coming I must say. I left him in it cause everytime I take the sides down he wants them back up cause he says, and I quote "they keep me safe" so what ever right. Well I have no excuses now so its to the toddler bed for him. He's a doll baby though and I love him! I'll try and get pics as soon as I break down and buy a new driver. I just know I'll find my other one as soon as I do though!

Family Fun Night

We also went to the family fun night. Isaac had a lot of fun doing the games that you had to throw things through the holes. He also did Plinko which is one of my favorite games. He was really funny on the hockey game where you have to hit a Little Debbie cake onto this blue tarp and try to hit the bulls eye. Well he got frustrated with it and just picked up the cake and threw it. So funny! I had Andrea take a family pic with her new camera so I thought I'd share since I never put on pics of me and Dan. After that we went to a move. The Forbidden Kingdom with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. It was pretty good and Isaac loved all the kung foo action. He was standing in front of his chair trying to imitate them. There wasn't hardly anyone there so it was ok!
