Gone Fishin'

This was Lisa's first attempt at reeling in the line. It wasn't a great fishing day cause the water levels were too high, but she did a pretty good job anyway . She was very particular about how Ryan helped her hold the rod. He is very excited to take her fishing this summer and actually get a fish on the line for her to reel in.

She also really enjoyed throwing rocks into the water.

It's a bird...it's a plane...NO! It's Super Lisa!!!

I don't know about the rest of you, but this used to be one of my favorite games when I was a kid. Lisa can't get enough of it.

Oh Sundays...gotta love 'em!

This is Lisa before church...



This water fountain shoots about 2 feet out from the fountain, a great source of amusement for unsuspecting toddlers.









I had brought the camera with me to church because Lisa was wearing her cute dress and I thought I'd take a few pictures. When she kept trying to run out of sacrament meeting we decided, rather than not hearing anything in the halls at church, we'd take her over to the gardens and not hear anything. It was a beautiful day. Lisa would spend endless hours outside if we'd let her.

She gets this zoned out face quite often. You actually have to call her back. And it takes a few tries.

















This is Lisa after church...she loves to ride the elevator. She tries to do it all by herself.




The end. Fun day.

Sunglasses save the day

Any of you who know Lisa very well are aware that she absolutely flips out when the sun is in her eyes. This makes long car trips...interesting. We usually keep a blanket in the backseat and tell her to cover her face with it or we have to shut the blanket in the window to make a shade. But she's finally discovered sunglasses. We tried it before and she would just pull them off. Now she's sporting them in style. She has her own hot pink pair that she even casually wears on top of her head when we get out of the car.

Happy Birthday, Natalie!

Who do we know who's a friend who's always there, who is always giving and making things fun, who is a beautiful, sweet, creative mother? It's Natalie! And it's her birthday! Hope you have a special day, Nat. You deserve it!

Stop the fridge raiding!

For about the past month Lisa has been driving me crazy constantly getting into the fridge and picking out things she doesn't even end up eating. I tried buying one of those Safety 1st fridge locks, but she pulled it right off. Yeah, I know...I should be able to just discipline her so that I don't have to lock her out of things, but this one just wasn't worth the fight. So I took matters into my own hands. I made this strap that goes all the way around the fridge and buckles on the side. It even has cute little fruit all over it. Ha! I win!


I just had to put this one on cause I didn't realize she was picking her nose until after I took the picture. Silly girl.

Fast Utah trip

This was our really fast trip to Utah. We left Friday at 9am and came back Saturday evening. Cortney had a baby shower to attend and thought the drive would be more fun if Lisa and I came along. Natalie came and met up with us, then took Lisa and I to this fun place called Kangaroo Zoo. Lisa and Olivia had a blast and I even went down a few slides. It was fun to get out of Rexburg, even just for a day. Natalie and I also spent a little time working in her yard which was very refreshing considering you still have to bundle up to go outside here in Rexburg.



Lisa and Olivia had fun playing outside, pretending to bake rock and wood "cakes" in the backyard.

















Lisa loved to dance to the music while she bounced in the toys.
