Len, Kel and Julia were up or the weekend. Len helped David with the shed while Kelly and I played with Julia :) Since all the work was completed in one day we had a day to play and here are the pictures to prove it.
Who needs toys
When you have items like post it notes to pull apart?
Her little legs aren't quite long enough to move herself on this little trike so daddy pushed her while she drug her feet across that hard blacktop!
Sitting by the campfire. Julia loves a good campfire Jan.....
Hummm what is daddy drinking? Oh daddy you just wait a few years. I will be the first to laugh out loud when you are pulling the hair out of your head wondering what to do....
Daddy's girl, in this shot anyway.
We did get out on the water as it was a great day. This was Julia's first boat ride and after getting over the uncomfortableness of that damned life preserver....it was so padded that I think she was afraid to move in it,
She finally relaxed and enjoyed her ride.
Yup that's my baby girl.
Grandma had to cut a nice big sunflower for her to play with. She loves flowers.
And sitting on her daddy's old trike in Grandma's garden.
Oh and Peeko. Julia is Peeko's new best friend. She was holding a stick when Peeko decided she certainly must want to play with him. He took the stick out of her hand and ran with it. Julia crawled after him (yes across that rough black top time and time again) got the stick and then Peeko would chase her.
Dirty dirty dirty our little girl did get dirty.
Len and Kel shared this story with us and I think you all will find it entertaining as well. At 'school' (daycare) they are helping to teach Julia words. One of the words that they first worked on with her was cow. When they would say it to her they would of course pronunciate (is that a word Jan?) the heck out of it saying coooooowwwwwwwww. The next morning Len and Kel said the first thing that they heard coming out of Julia's room...before hearing her move around or anything was....'cooooooowwwwww'. It was like she opened her eyes and immediately said cow. I thought it was hilarious but of course she is my grand baby.Pop was able to spend a few days with us as well coming up Sunday and leaving Tuesday. I was reminded of my childhood because I had to find him the Jerry Lewis telethon on TV. He and mom would watch that crazy thing from beginning to end and this was before the days of more than one TV in the house so I suffered through it as well. No wonder I was a party girl.
And later on as he was watching the Twins I looked over only to see his eyes closed. I was reminded of again when I was a kid...mom would take that opportunity to 'attempt' to change the channel only to have dad wake up saying...'Hey I was watching that-I was just resting my eyes!' I wanted to get a picture of him resting his eyes but I didn't want to interrupt the slumber.
Next week down to Nicollet we go to celebrate Julia and Kelly's birthdays.
