Mum Mums?!?

Have you heard of them?? I picked them up at Target and they are in the baby section. They are flavored rice crackers....we got the vegetable ones. Vivi LOVES them!!!

Mexican Food!

You know we love mexican food and we never need an excuse to go to our favorite local joint!! Daddy had to work late, so we met up with Grammy, Uncle Mark and Kari last minute! Yip Yip!

Vivi ate tons of rice and beans and even a lemon!!

Tacos are my abosulte favorite these days and I ate two of them tonight! Then, I played with the straw for a while!
Big smiles girls!

More big smiles!

Ok, again!

Awww!

Uncle Mark got me a sucker and entertained me for a little bit.

Grammy looked for some coins to spoil me rotten with more sweets! oh no!!

My first day of "Pre-school"

I started "pre-school" today at the church beside our house!! I was so excited!! It is actually a Mother's Day Out program and I will start real pre-school next year. This year, I go every Monday during the whole school year from 9:30 AM until 1 in the afternoon. I get to learn things like how to stand in line, how to share with my friends and how to play with other kiddos my age!! I even get to pack my lunch which is really, really cool!

I could not wait!

It is so cool that we can even walk!!

I didn't waste any time at all. As soon as we got there, I walked right up to the table and started playing with my play-dough!! Yay!!! I think I am going to love this!

Lee Ann Womack at Symphony on the Prairie

Mommy and Aunt Susan got out for the night and saw Lee Ann Womack at Conner Prairie. They thought the show was great and the rain held off!

Great Uncle Randy's Visit!!

Great Uncle Randy came for his summer visit but this time Great Aunt Mary didn't get to make the trip with him. :( We missed you, Mary!!! We drove to Bluffton on Friday night to have dinner at Sid and Susie's and the rest of the family. I even tried a chicken leg for the first time and I sat at the kid table with Bella, Ayden, Sydney and Owen.

Grandma gave Vivi some bites of her pie but Vivi tried to take the whole piece!! Great Grandma Cookie watched and wanted to share her pie, too! At least, that is what Vivi was hoping for!

Daddy did some chit-chatting...

...and so did everyone else.

Sydney is one cool chick! She is a great dancer and she boogied down to the wii!

I played with Bell and Owen a lot. They shared all of their toys with me which was really fun!

Owen is a silly monkey!

This was funny! Randy wanted a picture with all of the grandkids and it only took a whole bunch of shots to get a good one....this is about as good as it gets!! Love it!

Vivi played with Jackie, too.

We even got to do some night fishing! I don't think anyone caught anything before the mosquitos caught us!!

Erin and mommy saying cheese!

Daddy is helping me with the fishing pole.

Great Grandma Cookie is a really good wii player. Ever since she and Don moved into River Terrace, they enter contests on the wii all the time. There are tournaments and everything!! Isn't that cool! I think she beat Ayden and Sidney!

They have an audience!

Vivi made her rounds and played with Aunt Luann too! ;)

Randy, Tobie and Ryan

Don watched, too.

Uncle Sid played games with the kids.

Pose for the camera!! Uncle Randy....I can see up your nose!! ha!!

Big boy Ayden!! He is already in the 2nd grade!! What a cutie!

Grandma and her "little" brother ;)

After the cookout, we went back to Grandma's to spend the night. The next morning we played a little dress up!! I swear Grandma has a picture of both Jackie and Emma in this very same outfit when they were my age. Us girls just love to dress up!!

Vivi can't wait until it fits her!

Jackie is having some breakfast!

It was such a beautiful morning so we decided to take a paddleboat ride and feed the fish some breadcrumbs. Grandma showed us the way!

Here is the view from the opposite end of the pond looking at the house. What a beautiful place Grandma has!

After the boat ride, Jackie wanted to try catching fish with the net off of the pier.

Hi Dad!

Mommy and Daddy relaxing a little

C'mon Grandma....keep up with me!

Uncle Randy stopped by to say good-bye before he headed to the airport. We love you, Uncle Randy and the rest of your family. Hope to see you all soon. There are two more babies on the way and due very soon. Can't wait to hear the news!

Cheese!
