The Yard

This weekend we started to work on are new project. The back Yard also known as the rock quarry! When we bought this house it had a front yard but not a back and the back yard has so much river rock that we could probably sell it and make a profit. So are good friends Jeff and Holly came to help rack rocks on friday night and after about an hour the men decide that a tractor was need! Well we used this sweet tractor and after about one hour are rocks were gone it saved us days of rock racking now on to sprinklers and grass! Also last night I got a much needed break and had a girls night with some good friends. I can't tell you how relaxing it is to sit in a restraunt and not have to wrestle a child! We are hoping for nicer weather this week so Elisa and I can get out and play. She likes to be outside and I find my house stays much cleaner and in one piece if she can get outside and do her thing!

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY BRODY

Today is Brody's 30th birthday! We love him and hope he has great day! You are a great husband and father!

playing the Wii

The Other night Brody was playing the Wii, Elisa loves to Sit on his lap and Pretend she is playing to! Apparently she was really Tired because All of a sudden I see her head fall forward and she started snoring! We didn't hear another Peep out of her til the next morning!

Grandpa and Grandma Hodges Come to Visit

This past weekend Brody's Parents came to Visit! We had a great time together even though they were not here to long! On saturday we gave them a grand Tour of down town Boise and then Introduced them to one of Boises Finest Restraunt's Donnie Macs Trailer Park Cuisine were they offer among many things a Single Wide or Double wide Burger and Trash Fries. We really felt like they deserved the Best! Just kidding it was pretty Tasty and the Food Network was there Filming for a show Called Drive ins Diners and Dives. So when i am Famous in 2-4 Months no one be shocked! Elisa loved seeing them and so did we! We hope they won't wait another year to come back!

We Also have Hit a few Milestones this Past week. The First we have officially Lived in Emmett For 1 year and we Love it. I certainly didn't think I would like it nearly as much as I do. I was convinced brody was going to have to Commute because I was not going to live here but I changed my Attitude and we really do enjoy Small Town Life. Second Elisa Has officially been going to sleep on her own and sleeping through the night for about the last 3 weeks. This is bliss for me since she has never been a good sleeper! And last but not least she can officially have two cute Pony Tails.

What Happened to my baby!

I am not sure what happened to are baby! Elisa seems to have grown up on us all of a sudden. Brody and I just keep telling each other that we can't believe she isn't a baby. She is trying to talk all the time, even though we have no idea what she is telling us, she knows. I just can't believe she is not a baby anymore she has quite the little personality on her these days I think she gets it from her dad because clearly I would never have attitude! (just kidding) She also loves to play outside with her little friend alaney. Yesterday we played outside with her and those to were having a conversation in there own language it was to funny! so the point to all this rambling is that I am in denial that she is now a Toddler!

The next american idol!

Last weekend when my sister was here she brought American Idol for the wii! Elisa loved and thought that she could sing and dance with the best of us! I just don't understand though why she thinks she has to be naked to do so!

Family Comes to Visit

This Past weeked my Parents Came to visit along with my sister and her family and Also my Grandma! We had a full house but it was so good to have them here. On Saturday Papa Erwin Treated to grandkids to the Discovery Center Downtown Boise it was so fun, They have tons of hands on Scientific things to do they also have a little grocery store and Elisa just loved putting all the food in her basket and driving a grocery cart around that was her size! Also Saturday we went to a hot spring and Elisa loves to be in Water I am a littl afraid because she thinks she can swim but she can't!

The other Day Brody took Elisa into Petsmart and he want to adpot this huge dog! His name was Diesel and he was Huge so Huge that Elisa could ride him as you can tell from the Picture she didn't Like it to much!

We had so much fun having Family here and are looking forward to a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Hodges in a few Weeks!
