Where or where have I been

This past month has gone by way too fast. Below is a photos list of what we have been up to.

Isabelle and Mommy at Uncle Terry and Aunt Andreas wedding.
Isabelle and Todd at the wedding. Terry and Andrea had their wedding in a tent and pole shed at my in laws house. it was beautiful!

The flower girls.

The girls and Stanley- The free donkey we are trying to convince my father in law to let us have. We will love him and kiss him and ride him and feed him and love him and make him our own.

The two newest additions to the far, Pygmy goats. I affectionately call them Bert and Ernie. Isabelle loves them!

The pumpkin patch with Isabelle, Joe and Collin. This was obviously from earlier this month when it was WARM!

I would also like to point out the only reason I have time to write this now is because I have a fever and am ill, and thankfully my mom has taken Isabelle for the night so she won't get sick. (crossing my fingers). I now need to go and wipe down the computer so Todd doesn't get this as well. I hope this finds you all healthy and remember to wash your hands!!

So I'm "That blogger"

I'm the one that doesn't write for weeks on end... I'm sorry! I hope the cute pictures of our child convince you to keep reading.

Memorial Day weekend was filled with pumpkin planting and time at the cabin. We didn't however have this handy dandy little backpack. So we alternated carrying her on our shoulders and hip and letting her sit in the dirt and pour it over herself. Wait maybe I should explain that when I say we "planted pumpkins" I don't mean like a tiny garden, or even a medium sized garden. I mean we helped Todd's family plant 5 acres of pumpkins. We sell them in the fall and plant then in the spring as a family. Immediately following that weekend we bought a backpack off of Craig's list. Even thought Isabelle doesn't look happy here she LOVE IT! She cried when we took her out that night.

This picture and the one following are from the cabin and courtesy of Auntie Andrea. She is a wonderful photographer! Here is the girlie reading.

This picture is too cute for words! Seriously I hope you all can see the trouble that these two will cause in the future. I look at this and I'm excited but also frightened because I know the trouble I got into as a child!

This past weekend Todd and I went to Milwaukee to see the Brewers play a game, it was great fun! What more can you ask for, out door baseball, beer and peanuts! Love it!

I also have been caught up in twilight... I get the next 3 books on Friday... I might be missing for another short while but I promise I will try and check in, even if it is just to gush about vampires. And for those of you who have not ready Twilight you can sign up in the comments to borrow my books. SERIOUSLY...Ridiculous! Oh well...

Before I go I have one fantastic Isabelle story. She has been waking up at night, we are not sure why. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with her teething. So Monday morning she woke up at 4 am with a wet diaper. I changed and rocked her and she was back down in 10 minutes. (mean while I was debating sleep or read twilight...i chose sleep... I know I couldn't believe it either) So she then wakes up at 5 am. I told Todd we should just see what she does because we don't' want to keep getting up with her at 5 am. So she was chatting to herself and when she realized that we were not getting up she started to whine and cry. I'm pretty sure it was a fake cry because it was very off and on. After about 20 minutes of this we hear her say "I crying". Meaning "I'm in here wake, where the heck are you people? Hello I'm crying, that is your signal to come... here I'll try it again. Remember 'I cry, you come' WHAAAAA." She shortly fell back asleep until 7:30 AM. Todd and I just laughed at her. The next day she slept until 6:30. YEAH!

Where have we been?

I swear we have been swinging nonstop since Grandma found this in her garage last weekend!
OK not nonstop but really for about 45 minutes every evening.
That face makes every minute worth it.

Other happenings- the Ducks are HUGE! seriously who know ducks could grow so fast! (photos coming soon). We will be planting pumpkins this weekend and the wind is sucking the life out of me. For the past week it seems like we have has constant 45 mph winds. It's warm but the wind just makes me feel frazzled. Oh well. It doesn't keep us from swinging so that is something to be happy about. I promise to get back in the swing of things soon (no pun intended!).
What have y'all been up to?

I have exciting news

No Mom I'm not pregnant! My blog is getting a "Head to Toe" make over! YEAH!
First I would like to thank 30 Days for having so many drawings. This blog is one woman's jumble of thoughts about crafts and fun products. I should not say jumble because it is beautifully laid out! I love it. I feel like she is my craft brain in over drive! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Secondly I would like to thank The Blog Fairy for allowing 30 days to have a drawing. Take a look at The Blog Fairy and all of the wonderful work that she does.
I must say that this holiday season 30 Days and The Blog Fairy must be working with Santa to make my Christmas wish come true!
