Playing in the Pool

I love summer. It is so great, so busy and so much to do with a 1 year old! I love it. We got this little kiddie pool last year and we had such a good time--Kate splashing, and me putting my feet in!

A day at Wheeler Farm

On Friday, we went to a farm with Staci, Tyler, and Peyton. We had the best time! Even though we never had a farm growing up, I felt right at home. Kate absolutely loved it too--she loved looking at the and touching the animals and especially loved being with her cousins. When they bleated right in her face, that made her a little nervous, but it was so much fun! We will definitely be regulars, so if anyone wants to go, give us a call!

There is an old wagon there, and Kate and Tyler had a great time playing in it!

Tyler is so sweet to Kate!
Kate loved petting the animals. These animals were really friendly.


What kind of cow is that on the right? I forgot the name and it has been bugging me.

I have a fondness for pigs since my little sister started raising them for 4-H. I think they are kind of cute. (And I know it looks like I am posing and I have no response...)
The little lamb was bleating in Kate's face--made her a little nervous!

Traumatic Times/Kind of a Funny Story

Last week I came into the bathroom to find Kate standing by the toilet, looking in, with a pleased look on her face. I looked in the toilet to see a little green, and realized she had thrown my phone in the toilet! (Luckily it had been flushed the last time it was used) I dried it out in the sun and it worked for about a week, but, alas, no more. I am so sad because I have to go back to my old phone--no more music, pictures, videos, or a phone from this century. It was a little bit funny though, I have to admit. It was one of those things I had to try not to laugh at. Let's just say I am much more diligent at shutting the toilet lid!

Ode to Louie--Happy Birthday!

It is Jeff's birthday today! It's great to celebrate Jeff for many reasons, but I will just name a few. He makes us laugh. His unique way of saying things when he is describing something--usually when describing roads, sports, or something he is passionate about. His cute smile. His laugh, it always makes me laugh (especially the really loud one). That he is SUCH a great dad--Kate not only looks like him and has his personality, but she LOVES her daddy! That he is such a good husband--he got me a dozen roses even when my birthday present was supposed to count for anniversary! His lawn mowing capabilities--I have never seen a lawn more similar to Dodger Stadium! He is a great listener and is patient enough to listen to me talk about nothing in particular for hours on end. Bathes Kate almost every night (this sounds bad, but when I was in Idaho, I didn't bathe Kate once because I am so used to Jeff doing it! Thanks Jeff!) Oh--I almost forgot--the way he dances to a real girl power song, I have mentioned this before and will get it on video sometime if I can. All in all, Jeff is such a great guy, and we feel so lucky to have him as a husband and daddy! We love you Jeff and happy birthday!

Writer's Block

I have a severe case of writers block. Or possibly just laziness. We can blame it on the coldspell. Things are going great at the Lewis household. Jeff and I just both started playing in rec leagues which is really fun! Jeff is playing softball and I am playing soccer, I think we both like the physical activity! Kate is healthy and happy so we are happy too! Kind of boring I know, I just thought I better let everyone know we were still alive and well. I will get some more pictures soon!

Christmas Present

My parents gave this toy to Kate for a Christmas present, but she didn't quite get it yet, so we just brought it out and she loved it! I had to show a video.
