Hee Haw Part 2 and Sandbox



Aaron: Maddy can I have some chips?

Maddy: No.

Aaron: Maddy, you need to share.

Maddy: I'm sharing with Maddy.



Maddy (randomly in the middle of Walmart): Do bees smile?




Maddy thinks inanimate objects have the same feelings and emotions as humans. She has apologized to her stuffed dog for spilling water on him and to Eeyore for stepping on him. My favorite is when we were painting the house and a friend brought over a ladder and set it on the front steps. Maddy saw the ladder and said in a bright and perky voice: "Hey ladder! Whatcha doin'?"

Last week we did some Bible lessons at home on Adam and Eve. We talked about how Adam and Eve disobeyed God and that made God sad. One of the activities involved some apples that said "Do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil." At the end of the lesson I asked Maddy what she learned. She answered, "Don't eat the apples!"

We were watching the Ranger's game the other night and Maddy kept asking what the players names were. It got to the point where we'd told her everyone's name several times. Kinsler (sp?) was up to bat and she asked what his name was for the 6th or 7th time. I told her she knew what his name was. "Do you recognize him?" I asked. Completely misunderstanding that I was trying to get her to remember the name I told her before, she asked, "What is Recognizer doing? Is he batting?"

Another hilarious incident with names and Ranger's players occurred at the game we went to at the end of June. Yu Darvish was pitching that night. She asked who he was and we said, "That's Yu." Maddy pointed to him and and said, "That's Yu? That's Maddy?"

On a non-humorous note, we got a sandbox this week! A friend called and had some leftover sand in his truck and wanted to know if we'd ever thought of making Maddy a sandbox. I'd actually been planning to make one out of a kiddie pool when we got back from vacation but this one is so much better. We have ply board to cover it to keep out the cats. Maddy loves the sandbox so far. Here are a few pics:



I'll leave you with a video of Maddy having a blast in the pool:

Hee Haw for sure. Maddy is a riot! I love reading about what she says. On the sandbox, that looks fun. I forgot that we had a sandbox when we were kids until Mema reminded me of it. It was a lot of fun.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Geneticist

We went to see the genetic counselor this morning at 10. What we found out was hopeful for now, although we'll have to continue watching to see how thing develop. She said from what the doctors had communicated to her and from the initial results of the fish test (test for the chromosomal defects) and because I have been feeling the baby move every day, right now she thinks the baby may have a condition called Amyoplasia Congenita. This is a condition where the baby develops normally except for the hands and feet which can be corrected through orthopedic treatment, at least to some extent. People with this condition can live normal lives. This is obviously the best news we've had all week and much better than where we were a week ago. However, this isn't a diagnosis. We still need to watch the baby's development and also get the complete results from the chromosomal testing. BUT we are so thankful that today we have good news and something to hope for. For those (like m...

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...
