Summer Projects and tons of FUN!

Addie has started to LOVE talking on the phone. She will talk to Aaron on the phone all the way home from work (which is so helpful while I finish dinner). The other day Brain called and wanted to talk to Aaron but Addie want to talk to him first, so we let her talk.....well about 5 minutes later we had a crying little girl with her wanting to still talk so I gave her my phone to put up to her ear and I would talk to her. THAT DID NOT WORK! She is just too smart, so we went down stairs and Skyped Grandma. THANK YOU technology you make my little girl happy every day.

CHOCOLATE! Sorry it is not chocolate, it is black beans from Cafe Rio. Addie loves Mexican food. I just might have to get her own burrito next time we are there ;) hehehehe!

Love the face! This was a 5 towel clean up.

Amy and Matt drove up from Texas to visit the most important people.....US well I guess us and all the rest of the family. They did stay at our house for a few days. Andrew, Zach and Addie had so much fun playing together and having fun just being face to face and not over Skype. This is just a glimpse of how much fun these three had. Thank you Zach for letting your little cousin tag along with you where ever you went.

Since Addie is in love with her cousin Brayden, I thought that I needed to get her a baby doll. She absolutely loves her so much.

This year for the Allen family reunion we went down to Pine Valley and had a blast there in a cabin. Tyson decided to take all of us willing passengers on a ride around the town in the trailer. We were able to see some really amazing houses and Aaron and I got a lot of ideas and what to do and what not to do with our home.

Addie found Caleb's crocks and wanted to put them on.

Addie was really willing to share with Andrew.

Our car is packed and ready to go!

The great adventure of the SEWER PIPE!
The BEGINNING-
In December I was doing laundry and when I came down stairs to change the laundry I found the room all wet. We called the plumber and he came and ground out the pipe and also put a camera down there to see what the problem was. The problem turned out to be tree roots in the pipe.

The SOLUTION- Replace the pipe in our front yard.


Aaron and Brian dug down to find where the pipe came out of the house.



Our back saving machine... the mini excavator.

Starting to dig. We thought that the pipe went straight out to the street........

but after digging for about 8 feet we found that it did a 45 degree turn to the corner of our property and the GAS LINE.

Addie and I spent some of the time in side the house, but most of the time outside playing in the dirt with the boys. Addie crawled under the bench to play, she would not let me get a picture.

Almost there!

Now to replace it.

Good as new!
