OLIVES

6.17.10

I LOVE to help in the kitchen!! Today I got to help Mom make olive dip/spread (she is addicted to it).

Watch out for the OLIVE HAND!!!!!!!!!

YUM!!!!! I think I inherited Mom's love of olives :)

ISU TAILGATE TOUR

6.8.10

Some of the ISU coaches & players came up to Arnolds Park for kinda a kickoff tour - & it was all free!!

OK - I didn't REALLY get to go out on the field or run with the team. But it was still fun :)
(They had a green screen you stood in front of to take your picture & put you in a background of choice.)

This is REAL though - I got to meet the CHEERLEADERS!!!!! They thought I was cute :)

The best part - they brought inflatable slides to play on!!!!

PLAY BALL

6.8.10

Luke & I played baseball at Grandma Ann's today :)

Can you play outfield on a pedal tractor???

TUBING

6.4.10

Since it was such a great evening we decided at the last minute to meet the girls at Lost Island to grill some hot dogs & go for a boat ride. We got to break in the tube :)

Molly & Emily wanted to go FASTER :)

Watch out Molly!!!

We weren't the only ones out enjoying the awesome night :)  

Thanks for going - I had a GREAT time!!!

MEMORIAL DAY

5.31.10

We went up to the Dickens cemetery this morning for Memorial Day.

I got to help put flowers out for the soldiers.

Taking a break - my Great Great Gram & Gramp Liddie & Fred probably don't mind. Would have been neat to meet them - he used to farm with horses!!

NIGHT OUT

5.29.10

Tonight we meet the Crew family for supper up at the lakes & went for a little boat ride. It was a beautiful night & a great time :)

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

5.27.10

It was the last day of school today - (except I go back starting next week 2 mornings a week). For fun today my class got to go to the park down the street to play & eat lunch. Mom even got to come along!!

ALMOST there!!!!

 YEAH!!!!!!

Me & Abby Jo

Lining up for lunch. It was a beautiful day to go to the park!! THANKS Skip & Robin :)

To celebrate the last day of school we got to go out for pizza!!!! What a fun day :) 

MCDONALDS DRIVE THRU

5.23.10

We ran up to the lakes tonight to go for a bike ride on the trails. There happens to be a McDonalds right off the trail - how convenient at 6:00. I could eat my cheeseburger while we cruised along. We found out you can't order at the drive-thru on bikes. Bikes have wheels??

O-well. Dad ran in & got my food instead :)

SETTLED

5.21.10

The chickens are all moved into their new home. I think they like it!! They have ALOT more room & we let them roam around more. Did I tell you we got 12 more - so we are up to 16 now :)

They even have a cool ramp!!

Watching my crazy chicks from the coop. It has been fun watching them grow - & Mom says I do a great job taking care of them :) Maybe I can get a cow, or a horse, or a elephant,.... now.

COOP

5.16.10

I was a BIG helper with the chicken coop today :) The chicks are moving out - to the barn!!

(I know it looks dangerous - they really didn't let me use the saws.) You should see me with a power drill though - I can put screws in boards with the best of them :)

We had to take a break from the coop. So we went over to Gram & Gramps for a walk down to the river.

I could throw sticks in the water all day :)

What looks odd in this picture.... Dad is carrying the backpack I am suppose to be in :) But I found some other guy to give me a ride - thanks Gramp!!
