April Showers of a different kind.

Addilyn plays catch with herself with all different objects. Her pacifier, a sock, a shoe, a toy...and in this case, a ball. And she was in the corner for it.

This video was a request from grandma Jadwin. She got her the dinosaur toy for Christmas and wanted to see how Addilyn plays with it. She's a kick with it. 

Our pantry in progress... We started off by chopping the shelves that were in there and making more. I know I have before/after photos, but they're on Scott's phone. There were originally 3 extremely deep shelves. Now there are I think twice as many and a useful depth.

We made the rotators on the sides. There will be one more going above the peaches. We're also going to build ones that go into one of the shelves for the rest of our canned food. It's going to be so great when we're all done! Very functional!

Playing with rocks while we waited.

Last Tuesday our car died. It's transmission keeled over and we're shopping for a new one. The picture above was when we were sitting outside of the car waiting for a tow truck. Currently our car is sitting in our drive way waiting to be told it's final destiny. I will probably dedicate a blog post to our old car for it served us well.

Under our storm drain slab

You may be wondering what is going on since my last post about our water issue in the backyard. We've had the city out twice now and they'll be coming out again to start digging in my neighbor's yard to find a potentially broken pipe. There are 2 big issues that have to be addressed. 1) the broken pipe 2) the drain system itself. One of the pipes was diverted into my neighbor's yard and should have a drain for it to go to instead of ours....updates will come as they come.

Addi & Addi

Since we have no car, I had to bum a ride from Karen to Costco. The girls were so cute. Oddly even with their size difference, people still asked if they were twins. Nope. 5 months apart actually. But it was fun getting samples with them. Addison was fascinated with Addilyn's face.

We had a fire in our back yard Sunday night. This was when it was big before it died down to make marshmallows. One of our neighbors saw it, came out, said he was concerned about our fire, and then 20 minutes later we heard a fire truck. Bleh. The firemen were more impressed with our sweet set up. It's legal to burn within city limits as long as it was recreational. Um, Cabo was there and I had a stick with my mallow on it. We also had a grill next to the fire that we could have put on top.

For weeeeeks she's been making this face. It is so funny. I never watched the muppets, but I instantly knew who she looked like.

She's surprisingly a clean eater, except for the last few days. She's realized that food doesn't just have to go in her mouth. Nope! She sure loves to eat though. What a champ.
