Isabel got a little bored with the snorkel really quickly but came up with a “new” way to use them. Enjoy!

She uses them for golf clubs!
I’ll have to update with some photos of her actually using them as golf clubs but it’ll have to be after the rain lets up.

New golf clubs because the snorkel just wasn’t working.

For the past 9 days, we have been giving Isabel a “word” of the day. This “word” is given to her at breakfast and she has all day to figure it out, if she gets the word she gets rewarded, if not it’s no big deal we’ll try again tomorrow. Today we took a bit of a test to see how she’s moving forward with her learning the words of the day. Enjoy!

I took the 9 words that she’s learned and had her write them on her board.
She did an amazing job!

Pig.
Hat.
Bat.
You.
Tap.
Dog.
Sit.
Cat.
Stop.

Isabel ran across our old goggles and decided that she was going to wear them whenever she was a helper. So she’s helping me keep on smiling. Enjoy!

Silly girl!

Today a big package arrived in the mail addressed to Isabel from Nana and Pompo, along with some surprise gifts that had been saved from Gma Tee. Enjoy!

After getting her out of the box, the first thing I wanted to do was change Sally’s clothes then I needed to feed her. Lots of work for a new mommy to do.

Nana picked out this outfit for me.
“I like purple” she says.

I got sparkly headbands, too.

Later in the evening, I’m still playing with Sally.
I love her, thank you so much Nana and Pompo (and Gma Tee too)!

Well, we finally got the concrete poured yesterday, after a few days of rain delay and backed up work orders. Enjoy!

Looking eastward for the shed.
The concrete piled up in the foreground was hauled away the following day.

Looking westward into the garbage can area.

This area holds all 3 cans, with 2 cans along the back and 1 can in front, very nice.

Looking east from the front of the house.
The area along the house, where the gas meter is located, we worked on the next day…

…a weed blocker was laid down and a thick layer of river rock was placed there, which matches the property line between our house and the neighbors.
Any left over rock we placed in that area as well.

With the weather being so nice the past few days, Isabel has been so excited to get outdoors and do her 2 favorite things…paint and dig in the dirt! Today however was a day to paint. Hopefully the weather will continue to get warmer and we can get outside to do more. Enjoy!

She calls this one: flowers.
I absolutely love it and am thinking about getting it framed.
