A Visit from the Amendt Family

Melissa (a friend from college) and her kiddos, Joseph and Ellen came for a visit. Her husband Mark, is serving our country overseas so I was glad they got to come and have a little time away and be able for the kids to spend some time playing together.

Ellie and Joseph will love these pictures down the road I am sure...

We will say it all started with a ride in the Gator...a little Ellie and Joseph love

Joseph says, "help, this girl is kissing me!"

Cute!! aren't they!

A little more love!

Silly kiddos just driving along...

Oh my, now Ellie is in the drivers seat!

Wide awake and happy Miss Ellen

Ellie wanted to help all the time with Miss Ellen...guessing it will be the same when our baby arrives!

Happy Girls

No major events just a few Nemeth girls' smiles!!!

Ellie sporting all Minnie Mouse...the nightgown wasn't enough she needed pants as well!

She just looks like trouble!

Yeah so... I have waffle on my head...I am saving it for later!

Things We Don't Allow

Kailynn is great at giving visual pictures of things we don't allow our kiddos to do at our house...please do not attempt these things at home.


Don't use the kitchen chair as a ladder... no climbing the rungs

Do not use the chairs to climb onto the table...we do not sit on the table...and no playing with cell phones

A Day with Friends

Our neighbors spent the day at our house while their mom and dad were working! Ellie is very excited to have time to play with her buddy Billy. He is about 3 months younger than Ellie...they had a great time together and Ellie likes the extra attention she gets from his older sister Olivia.

Mixing Mixing Mixing


Billy working hard

Lots of stirring

A New Experience...Story Time

Ellie has been very excited since I signed her up for story time...funny thing is she really doesn't know what it is. I think she just likes the idea of getting to go somewhere that is for her. She asked since she got up if it was time to go...so when it was she was very excited.

Proudly walking into the library

WOW, Ellie sitting quietly!

Proudly showing off her bookmark that she made

Happy Birthday Mommy

Fun day with our little family...

This morning while daddy went to purchase his table saw, The Hildebrandt's arrived on our porch singing happy birthday and then while I showered, they decorated my house and hid airheads around the kitchen for me to find. (to date I am still missing a few :) The day was spent doing things around our house, me running a few errands by myself and then we ordered a pizza and went to the fairgrounds the Hot Air Balloon Festival, we ended the day with a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. All is all a good day!!!!

I love watching Ellie holding hands with Daddy

They had a hot air balloon set up on its side that you could go in, both girls thought it was pretty neat



Kailynn taking it all in

Ellie thought it was pretty neat to run around inside the balloon

Checking out how big the balloon is from the outside

We let Ellie pick one jump house to play inside...she proudly has her tickets and is ready to go

Kailynn would have loved to gone in as well

Ellie had a great time sliding...

Climbing back in...

and jumping!

After it got dark they had the hot air balloons set up on the ground and would light them up...Kailynn being silly while we watched them


The balloons all lite up
