We Have Dirt!!

Aaron took the girls out to dinner and playground while I was at dinner with friends on Thursday evening. They had a fun surprise when they went to our lot! It has been CLEARED!! Addison and Isabella had a fun time running in the dirt- got their shoes all dirty and Addison did a face plant in the dirt. We will hopefully have some pictures to post in the upcoming weeks of our construction!

The lot next door is also cleared, so we will have neighbors on one side. It's amazing how many lots have recently sold in our neighborhood- fun to see what will be built!

A Fun Week...

Pictures from the week taken by Grammie and Papa

Addison made name tags for the table with her name and Isabella's name.

Freeze Pop time!

This makes me laugh... the slide must have been too hot for the girls, so Grammie and Papa found towels for them.

LOVE this one!

On Thursday, at home, Addison decided to do some puzzles in her bed while I did laundry.

Cheering with Cinderella shoes

We went to dinner at Lakewood Ranch Main Street on Friday night. It was a gorgeous night. Of course, Addison has to put money in every fountain she sees.

It was so windy and beautiful. You would never know it was June- it felt like fall in Sarasota!

Aaron laughed at every picture he took of me my hair was blowing like crazy.

Tried the other side and the wind wasn't as bad.

Saturday visit to the Guide dog center. It was PUPPY day! They were so cute- 8 weeks old.

This little guy was the sweetest. He would just curl up and sleep wherever. Such a cute face!

This was an older Ambassador dog named Kelly. She was very sweet and loved to have her belly scratched.

Fun Weekend!

On Friday, Aaron and I went to a meeting to make some final selections for our pool. Grammie kept the girls then I joined them for swimming!

Isabella taught Addison how to make the noodles shoot water out of them. Addison can't get enough pressure to get the water out, so she likes it when we squirt her!

Our house plans are in permitting, so they should be clearing our lot and beginning construction within the next few weeks. To our suprise, we are going to have a neighbor! The lot to the right is cleared and staked for construction! See the big dirt pile in the back?

Fun graduation party for a cousin Brett Rocklein. We are so happy for him, even though he is going to UF! The girls swam most of the time while we were there. I'd say they were in the pool for a total of 3 hours!!

The girls wanted Aaron to swim with them, so he did for a little bit.

Having a snack before getting back in the pool. The whole afternoon/evening went this way- drink some Gatorade, then get in the pool, eat a snack, get in the pool, eat dinner, get back in the pool, etc. See the trend? This continued from the time we arrived (3pm) until we left (8pm)

Love Isabella! She's such a good cousin to Addison.

Relaxing in the pool.

Sunset was in our eyes!

The DJ played some GREAT music! Here are some of us dancing to ChaCha Slide and Cupid Shuffle.

On Sunday, we went to the pool in Country Club East (where we are building our house).

Most of the homes have pools, so no one was using it! We had the whole area to ourselves!

Addison loves to float in her tube!

Here's a short video clip of Addison "swimming" in her tube.
