My daughter the commedian

A conversation had while swinging last night.

Iz: I gotta joke.
Me: Ok, lets hear it.
Iz: Knock, Knock. Who's there?
Me: I don't know who's there?
Iz:Izzy's chocolate milk.
Me: Izzy's chocolate milk who?
Iz: Izzy's chocolate milk cookie.

Then we both fell apart into giggles. Later she told it as Addy and Mama's chocolate milk cookie. I believe the name is interchangeable so feel free to wow your friends and coworkers with that one.

Good Gollie Miss Molly

On Facebook I have a friend that said she didn't know who Little Richard is.

This one's for you Erin.

Odd things in my purse

Since I have become a mom I've carried all sorts of things in my purse that have struck me as odd. Sippy cups, diapers, general necessities for a child but then when I go out to drinks with girlfriends and go to pay it's odd reaching past the matchbox cars and diaper cream. Another reason I'm so glad Isabelle is potty trained, I am free of a diaper bag. However this does not alleviate the odd things in my purse.

All this week every time I go in my purse I find 2 dirty little girls socks. I took them off her feet sometime this weekend when we were out and about and in my purse they went. I generally don't need my purse at home so I always forget to take them out when I get home. I'm hoping blogging about it will help me remember!

I have a question for you...

While pushing Isabelle on the swing this weekend she said, " Mom, I have a question for you. Did you eat the monkeys banana?" I said "Nooo. Did you?" She said "No way Mama!" and we fell apart in to a pile of giggles.

So did you eat the monkey's banana?

P.S.

I didn't get to the scrap booking until February....

Spring

I have not forgotten you! We are just extremely busy. The holidays caught us off guard and the spring came barrelling in faster than anyone could have anticipated.
I'm not going to try and catch you up because it would take hours and days, just too much. I'll try for just a few highlights.
News-
*We are moving into making Lip Balm and lotions and all sorts of new products for Neumann Farms.
* I have taken up knitting that has resulted in 3 scarves, 1.5 homemade wash clothes.
Milestones-
*Isabelle turned 2 and sleeps in a big girl bed and is potty trained. The next feat will be drinking out of a big girl cup. Testing thus far has resulted in a soaking wet daughter.

To real scrap book or Fake it

Last year at Christmas I make scrapbooks for my grandparent of Isabelle's 9 months. I am still in the process of the one for Todd's grandpa. I just ordered $50 worth of scrap booking stuff, because I have grand aspirations.
I am now realizing that I will have to scrap book every night from now until Christmas if I want this grand dream of scrap booking the last year of Isabelle's life to happen (3 times over).
I was on snap fish tonight and I was looking at the photos books. I could create 1, print it 3 times over and then be done!
So do I make it or fake it?
I was thinking fake it, but now I'm thinking the grandparents that received the real ones last year will know I faked it.... I think this deserved more thought.

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!!

I HAVE A SINK!

Approximately 1 year, 1 month and 20 days after beginning this blog I have a fully functioning bathroom! The sink is done! We can now was our hands in the bathroom! YEAH!
We are still working with no trim, no outlet and temporary lighting situation but I have a fully functioning shower, bath, toilet and sink! There are not words for how exciting this has been!

In other exciting news I found curtains to match Isabelle's room. They need a little sewing so as soon as I find the camera battery charger, and get the sewing done I will post photos of the sink, the curtains and our pumpkin patch!

A conversation over heard

After a clatter on the stairs this is what I heard...

Todd: No Izzy, we don't throw babies down the stairs.

Izzy: Poor Baby, Poor Baby.

Dirty Dancing Night

Thank you Patrick for making me a hopeless romantic!

mobile blogging

I wrote a wonderful blog last Saturday about my love for all movies Jane Austen. it expounded on my passion for even sense and sensibility with Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. There may have even been a little affection for Collin Firth in there (ok alot but who doesn't love him?). However because I was taking time on the couch and I was too lazy to get up to get the computer I was blogging on my phone. Then I hit submit and it didn't, so I hit save, and it didn't. So this is what you get.... I love jane austen movies.
