Andel Playing in the Sandbox...

We'll Anadel is loving our newly decorated deck. She's a goof. Always doing something silly, from drawing with her chalk on the walls to taking all the pebbles out of the plant jars.

We'll if you haven't heard we're moving. See Pictures below.

Anadel's Bath-time Prank

Anadel loves to play pranks on people. When she was a tiny baby she used to pretend she was asleep in our arms at church and then when people would come to look at her she would wake up quickly with almost a boo sound and scare them. Then when she learned to crawl, she would hide by the side of our couch and reach up and tickle our feet and scare Ben and I. She is such a happy funny kid and is constantly on the move all day long, finding new joys in her life to laugh about. The other day I was giving her a bath before bed and I was sitting on the edge of the tub washing her down. I let her have her little cup we wash her down with to play with and then turned around and leaned over to pick-up her cloths on the floor in front of me. Anadel then grabbed her cup full of water pulled the back of my pants down and poured the water down my britches and laugh. She is only 16 months old, I couldn't believe it! Funny Kid!!!

Easter Weekend-Pixie Playland Day

We celebrated Anadel's first real Easter by going on a family trip to Pixie Playland together. She doesn't like candy at all so an easter egg hunt was out of the question. I was thinking of filling her plastic easter eggs with gold fish crackers for her to find but we decided that taking a trip as a family would be just as special. Maybe next year we will have a better chance and she will be old enough to decorate eggs and talk with us about the true meaning of Easter. Pixie Playland was a great family outing and the weather was gorgeous. Anadel had a blast and loved the rides. Her favorites were the carousel horses, riding the small train, spinning in the tea cups with mommy and driving her first car with her daddy around the miniature electrical car track. We then went to the duck pond outside the gates and watched Anadel play with the ducks. I think she thinks that she is a duck now because she pulls both hands behind her with fingers flared like the back of duck wings when she walks now. I will have to get a picture because it is very cute!
