Cap't Ron Had a Farm

E I E I Yo (as Isabelle says)

With a Baa Baa here

And a Quack Quack there


And a Cheap Cheap here

Here a Moo

There an Oink

Cap't Ron had a farm E I E I Yo!

We have never had so many animals on the farm since Todd and I have been together (and I forgot a BUZZ BUZZ there- the remaining hive of bees is doing well and we will get 3 more on mothers day!) Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and see all of the fun we are having here on Neumanns Farm!

It's HERE!

The Vanity is here and it's GORGEOUS!

8.5 or 8 on a good day!

I went shoe shopping this weekend and I have a sad announcement my cute little 7 or 7 and a half feet are not an 8 or 8 and a half depending on the day. I was blessed when pregnant with Isabelle never to get swollen feet or anything but my revenge came this weekend in the form of a size 8 black heel... pay back sucks. Mostly now because I have to go through all my shoes and get rid of the ones that will no longer fit! So be aware lucky friends their might be some very cute 7 shoes coming your way!

Easter Balls

Last saturday before Easter I needed to get the easter eggs done. So Isabelle and I went off to grandmas to sew. While I was sewing Isabelle and grandman played and went for the first walk of the year.

Here is where I spent Saturday. It was lovely to be sewing and in such a wonderful setting. Sunny, bright and relaxing.

So the "eggs" turned out looking more like balls. but they worked for this year.



I used 6 different fabrics. The one on the far left is my favorite. Not sure if we will use them agian next year but they were a great concept and I got to sew for a whole day! LOVE IT!

DMB

My husband is not a fan of Dave Matthews Band but I SO AM! And I cannot wait for their new album. I found this video on Billboard.com. I thought it was great. Also if you go to the Dave Matthews Band Website you can download their new single for free - just another reason to love them! Enjoy!

Outside girl

This is my girl outside 2 weekends ago. She is going to be our little dirt ball because she loves to be outside so much. It's amazing how much better she is a walking on grass this week from last!In the mornings now I let her walk out the door, hold her hand down the 3 steps (because we are WAY TOO BIG to crawl down the steps, that's for babies!) and then she is off! She turned around and give me this smile this morning while kicking up dirt in the driveway! Little stinks pot! I cannot wait to spend every Friday with her!

SPRING!

The photos above remind me of ladies who lunch and starting this Friday I will be a lady who lunches! Only on Fridays, but still! I have taken a new job that is 16 hours a week and my current job was so wonderful to allow me to work another 16 hours a week. SO I now only work 4 days a week and I cannot tell you how excited I am for this! I'm hoping that now I will have time to take Isabelle to the zoo and to meet my friends who are stay at home moms and do all sorts of fun things! Maybe even craft!! (Speaking of crafting I will update you on the "eggs" tomorrow.)

The photos above are from the LIFE collection of photos on Google images. They were taken by Joel Yale in 1962.

Someday...

Someday I will have time to do this....





This beautiful piece of art work was done by Crazy Mom Quilts and someday I will have the time and wherewithall to create something so beautiful. For now I will marvel at her works!

ABCDEFG lskdjjsldkjfslkjdf LMNOP

My little girl can say her ABC's! ok some of them, not all the letters but a good portion are distinguishable. We were in the car last night and while Todd and I talked up front Isabelle was in the back babbling. When our conversation paused Todd and I heard "ABCDEFG garbblegarbble LMNOP garbblegarbble". I was so excited that I almost pulled the car over to kiss her!

Birthday Week

It is my husbands Birthday week. Thanks to a loverly friend we have a whole week to celebrate our birthdays. Some of the rules are 1) Birthday Week any 7 days including your birthday. So it could be the 7 days before, the 7 days after, 3 days on each side of your birthday and so on and so forth. 2) You can tell people to do what ever you want and they have to do it. Generally it just means that you have to be extra nice to the birthday person. Number 3 was just added last year in our household 3) You don't have to change a single diaper during Birthday week.

Todd began his birthday week Monday and his birthday was actually yesterday. He is also laid off again this week. Coincidence...? Anyway this week he has enjoyed breakfast in bed every day and as far as I know if I was in the room he hasn't changed a single diaper. We had dinner with my in laws last night and played with Isabelle, Addy and Teddy. It's so much fun to watch Addy and Isabelle together. They get along so well and share very well for a 1 and 2 year old.

As for the rest of our lives. I've officially moved into the downstairs shower. We don't have the vanity yet but after taking one shower in the spaciousness of it all I can't and won't go back to the stand up shower upstairs. I've also got 20 eggs cut out and ready to be sewn. Hopefully I will have time to get them done before Sunday. The next question it what to put in them... we will have to see what we can find.

We are also having my family up to our house for Easter and it is a disaster area so I'm hoping to clean things up starting tonight... we will see how that goes. Isabelle may have other plans and she usually wins!

What Easter Plans do you have?
