Pinterest Project Fun

I'm sure most of you have heard of Pinterest.  I have found some fun activities to begin doing with Evy.  I have done two activities with her already and she has loved them!  The first one was freezing ice cubes that had food coloring in them and letting Evy chase them in the bath tub.  What was even more fun for her was to eat the ice cubes...which of course turned her mouth all crazy kinds of colors.  The bath water turned a purple-ish/blue-ish color so we had to scrub Evy hard to keep her from being blue-ish/purple.

 

Then I made her a box with holes cut out of the top and bought some bright colored pom poms for her to push through the holes.  She loves this new "toy" and plays with it quite often.  Not too shabby for maybe $4!  Evy already has excellent fine motor skills, but this definitely helps improve those skills.

 

Our Weekend Away

After a busy week at work Evy and I decided to spend the weekend at the farm.  Along with visiting with extended family, we also spent the weekend enjoying the outdoors.

Evy loves riding on the 4-wheeler

Swinging is always fun

Watching the sun set

It was a much needed, relaxing weekend!

MIA

I know I have neglected the blogging world for over a month now.  No, nothing is wrong.  We've just had a lot going on.  I've been working on a few projects at the house and our computer has been acting up.  I think I've fixed our computer so check back soon for more posts.  I have a ton of pictures from the last couple of months so I'm anxious to share those with you.

Happy Birthday to Me

Today was my birthday and the only thing I wanted was to spend time with Chad and Evy.  Chad took off work early and we decided it was too wonderful of a day to spend at home.  So, we headed to the zoo.


Love my baby girl!

She loves cows!

Riding away

Saying "Hi" to the gorillas

No, nothing is wrong with the camera or your computer...Evy was playing under the mist sprayers.  This was the highlight of her day!  She thought the mist was the most amazing thing ever.  She laughed and danced under the spray.  She's such a hoot!

Saying "Bye Bye" to the zoo

I never imagined I would spend one of my birthdays at the zoo.  But, it was one of the best days full of joy and laughter.  Thank you Chad and Evy for making my day special!  I love you both!

Evenings

Now that it's not so blazin hot we are enjoying more evenings outside.  Evy LOVES, LOVES, LOVES being outside!  We either go to the park or play in the yard.
