Summer Time Fun!!!

Below are some pics and videos from last weekend, even though Sat. had a heat index into the triple digits we still managed to get to the pool and get in some good playtime!

Here is Adrian's little chariot that she gets carried around in, looks like she has it pretty rough!

In order for me to change Adrian's crib sheet I have to take the whole mattress out, which aways seems to attract a little jumping monkey :)

Memorial Day Pictures

This last Monday we had some professional pictures taken by a photographer here in Polk City. This is the same lady that took Adrian's 1 year pics. We were supposed to have the pics taken the weekend earlier but it was close to 90 degrees and really windy which doesn't make for good outdoor pics. I think they turned out pretty good, especially some of the pictures of Adrian. If anyone in interested in more of the photographers work here is her website and blog:

Productive Week--Time w/ Grandparents

I didn't know what to title this post...I want to convey that Mitch & I did tons of work to the house while Adrian got some quality time with the grandparents this past week. So, last Sunday we meet my parents and made the big swap with Adrian. Adrian stayed back in Rockford 1/2 day Sunday through the following Sunday. Mitch and I traveled back on Friday the 28th. Adrian got to spend lots of time with Grandma for the 5 days, which most of that sounds like was outside. I called mom probably on average 2-3 times a days to check in and to hear what they were up to, which consisted of playing outside, swinging, going for walks, picking flowers/asparagus, going swimming at the aquatic center (twice), feeding Bart his carrots (guinea pig), and much much more.
While Adrian was keeping Grandma running around after her, Mitch and I got lots of stuff accomplished outside. Below is just a list of most of the things I can remember we got done in the 5 days.
-------------------
Mowed (twice)
Planted our garden (tomatoes, onion, beans)
Planted flowers
Planted 3 bushes
Put down tons of landscaping rock around the house
Cleaned out the garage
Painted the foundation of the house
Painted the garage door
Did some deep cleaning to the house (which was needed :)
-------------------
During all of this Mitch and I still managed to go out to dinner on 3 occasions, which was nice and make it to the Valley Junction Farmer's Market Thursday night.
-------------------
In the below pic the sidewalk says, "Adrian is happy to see mommy & daddy I love u"

The neighbors have a couple of horses and a little colt, which were very cute. Adrian had mastered what noise a horse makes by the time we left Rockford.




It official....Adrian loves to swing, she always liked it ok before but after this week with Grandma she loves it now.

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for taking such great care of little miss Adrian for us!!
