Belleview Park

Heather and Isaac invited Mary and I out to Belleview Park for a day of fun! This park has a lot of fun stuff to do! This picture is on the train ride. I love that face of Isaac's! Can you see Mary's red face? She gets hot so fast!

They have a petting zoo where you can milk this fake cow. It's pretty cool. Isaac was trying to teach Mary how to do it, but she just wanted to sit on the stool.

Here is the backside of my sister Heather - I'm sure she's going to love that - and Isaac petting a goat. Mary would have NOTHING to do with the goats and animals. All she wanted to do is watch the ducks and say "quack, quack, quack." She's a very good quacker!!!

She loved the stream where you can go wading in. She didn't want to get out. I do have to say it's pretty nasty with all the kids and dogs in it. But it was fun. 

Here we are about to leave. Mary was helping Isaac with his shoes...she's so sweet. You can't tell but right before we got out of the water she fell in so her front is all wet and she smelled! 

Thanks Heather and Isaac for the super fun day!!!!!!!!!!!

RANDOM MOMENT:

A few weeks ago we got these chair pillow things. (I'm not sure what to call them.) And Mary has decided that they are hers. If we are sitting in them she will coming push, pull, yank, or attack us out of them. And then she will laugh when she has won a pillow. She's such a stinker, but really funny!!!

Jake's New Baby!

Jake got a new baby this last month which he absolutely loves and adores! We've been looking to switch out our old Jeep due to gas and other issues. So, one Saturday we go down to the dealership just to look at a Rubicon. Jake has been DYING to have one and wanted me to test drive it and see what I thought. Well we went down just to test drive it...or so we thought. We walked out with this great looking Rubicon. We love it! It's really fun to drive! The first week we had it we went down to Pike National Forest and did some off-roading.

Here is Jake with his baby. It's hard to tell but it is up on a rock.

I've never owned a car that I got to see it go from 99 miles to 100. It was pretty cool if you ask me!

We stopped and took some pictures. Here is Jake and Mary climbing rocks. The one of me and Mary is actually in the car. Mary was getting pretty jostled and didn't want to sit in her carseat so I took her out and held her for a while. She loved it!!!

It is so beautiful up there!!!

Having lunch...yeah someone stole me seat! It's a good thing she's cute!

Mary is infatuated with sunglasses.

Proudly driving his new car.

It was a long day for her. She was much happier after her nap. Half the top was off at this point. I think she liked the wind.

I believe that's Pike's Peak.

Some of the roads we went on. Jake even let me drive for a while!

We stopped here. I know it's hard to see but it was steep and NOT smooth at all!!! Jake said he would have gone down if there was someone else there just in case we got stuck. He marked it on the GPS for future fun.

This is what the Jeep looked like after our day of fun. Not too dirty, but proof that we had fun!!!

The other day we took the top off and went driving. Mary LOVED the wind and kept raising her hands to feel it. I love this picture!!!

Anyone else done anything fun lately???

Pool Party!

Jake and I have been debating about getting Mary a little pool for the backyard to play with. I have been wanting to get one and Jake hasn't (he doesn't think we'd use it enough). So I found this tiny pool for $5 and thought it was a good compromise. 

At first Mary didn't know what to do with it. She just looked at it and walked around it. I started playing with the measuring cup and that was quickly taken from me so she could play with it.

Then she started trying to drink out of it so all the clothes came off and I switched her shoes to her sandals (you can't see them in this picture). Then I thought - that diaper is going to get really full of water as she spills down her front, so....

 Off came the diaper. By this time Jake had come home from work and thought Mary was being funny. So he dumped water on her head - mind you it was FREEZING hose water. Mary froze for a second and then started laughing. She then no longer wanted to drink the water she kept trying to pour it on her head. Then Jake set her in the water and she didn't know what to think about that, but she liked it after a while. It was really fun to watch her play! She DID NOT want to go in.

And just in case you thought you'd dive into a 30" wide 8" deep pool here is your warning not to...nuts!

The other day Jake got some wax for the car and started working on it. Mary kept begging us to play in the car. So we let Mary hangout while Jake worked. She was very interested in what he was doing. She's so funny.

 Daddy's girl!!! She loves to snuggle with her Daddy. It's very sweet to see her give him loves.
