Busted!!

So I worked today...don't worry its never over 8 hours at a time. I can hardly call it work! :) Anyway, Aaron caught Liza sitting on a bench I have at the front window writing with what he thought was chalk, but was actually crayon...I am so proud of him taking pictures of her with cuteness only to discover he may of wanted to be doing some disciplining...") Love him! Another day in the life of Liza and her fav toy of the moment, her puzzles. I am amazed that she has mastered them in such little time. She used to get frustrated with not being able to put them back in their original spots, but she can do it now, no problem!

Rain, Rain, Rain

Just when we thought it was ok to go to the pool...sunny skies, big fluffy clouds, and a happy child we were off. After suncreening Liza up we were ready to go...and then the lifegaurd said she heard thunder and no one in the pool for thirty minutes! awwww! I was a little ticked, but we headed home begrungingly and I put the sprinkler on and she played in some sort of water! And then it rained! And she played in the rain, and so did I. I really do want Jen to take pics of Liza in the sprinkler, but something tells me I am no Jen. (http://www.jensherrickphotography.com/). Oh well, I am capturing memories none the less. Isn't she cute in her suit and her matching bucket, and I did get the water movement, which I wanted...maybe I am some sort of photographer-a no!

So Sunday we went to Muncie to a cookout at Claudia's a friend of ours with ALS. She was pleasantly surprised by an award we helped her to get to allow her a lifetime certification for Paramedics! Yah! We were thrilled for her!

On the way there I gave Liza my cell phone to play with. I looked back in my rear view mirror and Liza was "talking" and then she would stop and laugh and then followed with talking and throwing her head back and laughing. I think I might need to stop talking on the phone so much! i hope she gets something else worthy of her mom!

See you all later. '

Zoo!

So we took Liza to the zoo this weekend for the first time in her almost 21 months of life! I am feeling a bit like a slacker mom for that. She really enjoyed the penguins and the butterflys. She really didn't say much to everything else, maybe just soaking it all up! I hate my camera...it delays, it ran out of juice after the goats and that was just in the beginning. Where is Jen when you need her!? I wish I could pack her up to take with me sometimes, just for good pics of Liza. Oh if she were only mini! ha! So, we went with my brother and sister in law and my neice, Sadie, who is 5.5 months, my mom, Nana, and Aaron and I. At least Carrie is on the ball taking her younger than I took Liza. I will stop beating myself up now. I must go blog now. But here is Liza at the zoo. I had a hard time having her look at me! She did get the word Zoo down. She really loves water so of course, she also loved the water fountains in the gardens at the end. Carrie has those pics because of my stupid camera! See u soon.
