Highland Games

We went to the Scottish Festival on Sunday. It was a fun time to listen to bagpipes and see alot of men in skirts. No not Andrew, he wore shorts. Andra was mesmerized by the dancing.
Watching the caber toss (men in skirts tossing a telephone pole)

Here is a video of Andra dancing. I do not know how to edit the video so sorry for all the extra. The best part of the video is the first 15 seconds or so..

my little European

Yep that is her...socks and sandals.

Andra took off her tennies and was trying to put on her new sandals (Thank you C & S). So I started to take off her socks and she protested so I just put the shoes on for her. This is her father coming out :)
She then tried to pick up Dundee, all 95lbs of him.

Happy 98th Birthday!

My grandma Pima (my mother's mom) turns 98 on the 24th. She is amazing! She lives on her terms and can still tell cows what to do at her ranch and they listen! It was great to have a party and celebrate her life. 98!! I only hope to be as active at 98! My Dad's sister and brother-in-law, Don and Judy, were in town and got to come to the party!
Here is my cuz Molly and her baby Cici. This is a picture to show Andra why Cici (who is younger then Andra by 4 months) will always be taller than her.
Do not mind the baby's faces this was at about 8pm WAY past bed time!
I love this picture because Andra is looking at her cousins like "What are ya'll talking about?" and no that is not a mark on her face it is a bruise where her head met the wall.

Andra LOVED the mariachis!

Tata and his sister! Judy and Don live in Chicago so it was a great treat that they were in town!

Andra and her Daddy

We had a great time and I think Andrew and I lost a few pounds chasing after Andra all night.

Spring Break fun

In college I went to the beach, snow skiing, camping and other fun places over spring break. That has changed, but I am not sure I would have it any other way. Monday I took Andra to school so I could do some spring cleaning(with an old house i have to use the smelly stuff and i did not want Andra in the house), pulled weeds and other fun stuff. Tuesday we took Andrew's car in, went to the bank and did paperwork for the house. Wednesday I had a great hour and a half conversation with my dissertation chair. None of that would have been on the list when i was in college, including talking with a professor!! What made it great was all the extra time i got to spend with Andra. We went to the park, played, colored, and just had fun. Monday, taking her back to daycare for a full day 9-3 will not be fun for me. I really enjoyed having her home, lunching with friends, and just hanging out. I know I am lucky that i do not work 8-5 and that i should have taken her more days this past week to get my own work done i just loved having her home and not getting a lot done. I did not take many pictures but we did have a lot of fun. It was also great to have my parents here at the end of the week.

Thank you Aunt Judy!

My Aunt Judy has made Andra a few outfits. Here is one that Andra wore this past weekend. To make it a complete Aunt Judy outfit she wore her "running" shoes too. Andra loves her New Balance shoes! It took us a while to find pink ones but they are cute and Andra does love to run!
