Happy Monday!!

Happy Monday!!  We had a great weekend!  Izzy and I went to visit our dear friends Lindsay and Myelle Saturday.  We played, ate chocolate chip cookies, and Lindsay showed me how to make hair bows.  She made 6 for me and I made 8 when we got home.  They also sent home a few adorable outfits and jammies, that we always need!!! 

Pretty Princesses!

Lindsay made the top six, I made the bottom eight.

My favorite!

 Mr. Mueller worked on the basement project he is finishing.  Then went to get the rest of the garden shed he scored for free!  What a great deal!  My vision of how the shed would look finished and his were totally different.  We have a huge over sized two stall garage and we still need more storage space. 

This is my vision of the shed!

Sunday Mr. Mueller and I took Izzy to Old McDonald's Farm at Beaver Park.  She was probably too little to appreciate it, but I know she had fun cruising in her big stroller!  We saw lots of farm animals.  They have a beautiful water foul exhibit.  Next year they will have Fennec Foxes.  They are super cute!  At first I thought the picture was of chihuahuas!  I remember how great it was to go when I was younger.  They had a monkey house, big cats and owls.  I didn't see any real hooties but I did hear one...ok, it was just Mr. Mueller humoring me!  (What a sweet husband I have!) I found out later that Mr. Mueller's friend Brad's mom donated the cows and pigs to the zoo.  And if I remember correctly my friend Haley's Dad donated some of the chickens.   The water foul exhibit made me want to take a trip to the water park and float in the lazy river.  I also want to go to a bigger zoo now to see more animals.  I think that will have to wait until next summer when Izzy can appreciate it. 

This is a picture they have showing the history of the zoo.  Look how they are dressed for the zoo! 

Fennec Foxes, ADORABLE!!

This is humorous to me...Mr Mueller didn't want to ride the duck or the cone.

 Notice the dead zebra at the top of the picture?

The waterfall at the entrance of the water foul exhibit.

I spotted a hootie!!!

Ducklings!

Can you see the baby ducks?

After the zoo we went out to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  They are getting ready for Jessica's wedding in September.  We helped Grandma sort through more boxes in my old bedroom.  None of it was mine, but we did bring home a wicker laundry basket filled with treasures.  We found a Minnie Mouse necklace, a string of Hello Kitty lights, a Mrs. Potato Head, my old Strawberry Shortcake picture that hung in my room when I was little, a few tank tops and corn, yellow squash and cucumbers from their garden! 

We had BLT's and corn on the cob for dinner.  Delicious!!! After dinner we went for a drive to Sonic for treats and to cruise the car lots.  This is something that Mr. Mueller and I love to do.  I think John and his dad Andy used to do it.  It annoyed me a lot at first and now it's just one of our things, and I really love it!  On the way back we spotted a baby swing on a curb.  We stopped and picked it up for Blondie's Babies!  It was a nice one, but as I put in the bed of the truck the seat the swings, swung and got me in the nose!  Classic Ann!  I am so clumsy!

Baby Izzy slept in her room all night long. She fussed a few times but went back to sleep.  She went down around 9:00 and woke up at 8:00.  What a good night, now if only mommy and daddy had slept that great. :(  Mr. Mueller said he kept thinking about the shed.  I kept thinking Izzy would wake up at as soon as I feel back asleep.


This morning we cleaned out Izzy's dresser and closet.  She has so many clothes.  This task had been hard for me since we had her.  It makes me a little sad she grows so fast.  There was one set of 6-9 month pajamas that I thought looked huge when they were given to us. At the time she was only 5 weeks old.  Now they are too small!!!  She is such a big girl.  It makes me so happy to see all the little things she learns and picks up on.  She can stand alone but doesn't quite have the confidence to do it unless someone is right there!
