GOOD BOY!

Stephen's finished all his honey-dos while I was away: covered the patio with outdoor carpet, filled the sandbox, and kept the baby happy ;)

DADDY AND ALLIE

While Stewart and I are in CO, Daddy and Allie are back at home. Oh yeah, theyre getting along just fine ;)

THE NORTH POLE

Stewart and i are in CO visiting Cheryl and her family. Yesterday we went to The North Pole in CO Springs. Here are some pictures.

Will's Party

Our neighbor had a birthday party for her son, Will, who just turned 1. Darbi rented this huge waterslide that we placed between our two houses. The kids had a blast!!! By the end of the day the grass had turned to a nasty mud :)

Allie and Daisie have formed quite a bond. Daisie will let Allie do pretty much anything to her. Probably because Allie is constantly feeding her. The other day, though, Allie followed Daisie around for half an hour with a bucket full of water. Daisie finally got smart and parked her lazy but on the back porch. Here's Allie trying to figure it all out :)

The week from H-E-double hockey sticks

Let's see...

Its started on Tuesday when Allie threw my cell phone into my coffee. Fried it. Yes, this is the very cell phone that earlier this year I dropped into the bathtub. Was able to get a another one that day but I could have killed the little squirt.

Then on Friday after his last day of school, Stewart was playing barefoot in the backyard and kicked a brick. Judging by the amount of blood I was certain he'd ripped off his toenail. Thankfully he did not, but my boy is a HUGE drama queen so that was fun. Here is a pictue of Allie after the incident. Stewart had just hosed her down when he hurt himself so I can't help but think she had something to do with his accident.

Then on Saturday I go out to my minivan and it has a dead battery. Instead of leaving it alone and going to ask a neighbor to help me push it out of the garage, I decide to take that task on all by my little ol' self. Simple enough: You put it in neutral, and you push. Right? Only the minivan gets away from me and to prevent it from hurdling into the street I run to open the driver's door and I get pinched between the garage wall and the minivan. Hence this beautiful collection of bruises on my left arm. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I hurt. ALOT! Good news after all this the minivan gets just enough juice in it to start up so I can go to Walmart and get a new battery.

On a side note, Allie is an M&M freak. I gave her some during our walk to the park yesterday. Here I am trying to get her attention but she refuses to take her eyes off the M&Ms in fear they may disappear.
