Pictures from Amy's visit

Isaac and Tess!

Tess and Ivy taking turns hiding themselves in the cubbard. I would have taken a turn, but our cubbards are just not big enough.

More fun cubbard time.

Amy and Sandra...

Vacation! but not for Sandra and Isaac.

Mom, dad, Aaron, and Anita left for Utah and Wyoming yesterday (leaving me and Isaac home alone.) The picture below is one I took of them right before they left on their trip.
Me and Isaac are having fun hanging out at home by ourselves. We've played domino's and attempted to eat two boxes of hamburger helper all by ourselves (Isaac made TWO boxes of hamburger helper last night for dinner... his judgement is somewhat lacking... there are only two of us, but he made 10 servings of food for us to eat:). So, that's pretty much the excitement of our lives without mom and dad. (we have done a little bit more then just play domino's and eat)
In fact, I am now going to write 5 things we have each done

Sandra:
1. went to work. scanned groceries. struggled with opening the plastic bags for a while.
2. sang Chirstmas songs with Isaac at about 11:30 pm (we didn't have to worry about waking anybody up :)
3. wrote an essay for economics on baseball players salaries (it's a pretty good essay)
4. went running with Isaac and had a few neighborhood dogs bark at us
5. beat Isaac in an intense game of domino's

Isaac:
1. Rode his bike to the library and returned some books.
2. fed Nelly (one of our neighbors dogs)
3. talked to Sam on the phone
4. brushed his teeth after lunch because he forgot to do it after breakfast.
5. did a LOT of push ups and sit ups.

Oh, I know the excitement in our lives is amazing. :)

Unripe fruit fun.

As I was walking around the garden, I found an oddly shaped melon thing. I didn't know what it was, so I picked it and took it to mom to see if she knew (yeah, I know I should have left it in the garden, but I saw a couple others just like it... so I wasn't too worried about picking this one)
Mom informed me that it was a canteloupe (I was very skeptical about this because the thing that I picked looked nothing like a canteloupe. I've scanned a lot of canteloupes at the grocery store lately and so there is just no fooling me into believing that a green, oddly shaped thing is canteloupe)
Well, I came to learn that what mom said was indeed correct. I did pick a canteloupe. (It was just an unripe canteloupe)
I felt bad about picking the odd melon from the garden, so I made it into a cantolantern. (pictured below)





This is the one eyed cantolantern. Pretty spooky, huh!

More Random pictures... (I'm so good at this blog thing, a lot of thought goes into every entry. ha ha ha)

Anita after just waking up (and about to yawn)

Dad talking about something very important (I'm sure). His hand gestures keep me pretty entertained (and anyone who knows dad, knows that he likes to move his hands when he talks). Unfortunatly I think I've picked up on some of that myself. Sometimes when I'm on the phone I find myself moving my arms around to emphasize the piont that I'm trying to make.

Me and some of my nieces... yep, we're fun.

I think Isaac was acually watching t.v. when I came in to take this picture. As soon as he realized what I was doing he picked up a book to pretend that he was being a good uncle and reading to his niece. (I think she found that kind of amusing)

awe, mom and dad. So cute!

Aaron about to do something (I don't know what).

Happy Fourth of July!!
