A Roll in the Hay...Isey style..

We went to Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard last weekend and what fun we had!!  Isey was the apple of our eyes!! ;-)

Right when we got there we hopped on a tractor pulled wagon that brought us out to the orchard, but silly us, we hadn't gone to purchase a bag to put apples in, so we only picked a few.

Isey saw the little wagons while we were on the big wagon and couldn't wait to ride on that!!  The driver wasn't there when we first got over there, but Isey insisted on getting into one of the wagons anyway.  She waited patiently for the driver...

Face painting!!  She chose a dragon.  The picture she saw was a green dragon, but she wanted purple since that is her favorite color!  She even wanted her lips done like was done at the State Fair.  The gal did put some purple stuff on her lips, but nothing like at the State Fair.  It was still very cute!

 After Isey fed some of the animals we went and stood in line for the pony ride.  It was such a cute little pony.  As you can see, it was just her size!  When the sun wasn't in her eyes, she was giggling and really enjoying herself.

They had a huge pile of hay that all the kids...and some adults were playing on.  Nicole joined Isey for some of the fun:

 Here Isey is jumping off of a big bale.  She took the safest route first, but then asked Uncle Brett to catch her.  She had so much fun doing this over...and over....and over again.

Now it was time to just roll down the hill of hay.  Even Mom joined in!!

We stopped at Minnesota's Largest Candy store after Minnesota Harvest and got some Honeycrisp apples, since MN Harvest didn't have any of those...and of course some candy

Isey had so much fun and was exhausted when we were all done.  We left the largest candy store and turned south onto 169 and did a u-turn to go north, Isey was asleep that quick.

Happiness is..Family, a Ball and a Puppy...

Pow Wow to the State Fair

Isey wants YOU

to check out the latest pictures...

Isey, Nicole, Grandma Jackson, Christina, and Aunt Joey went to the Pow Wow out at Mystic Lake.

We went to the State Fair!  Isey even managed to take a 2 hour nap!

Visited Daddy at his booth and got some ice cream!!  Yummy!

C'mon Joey

Isebelle loves to help Uncle Brett water the tomatoes!

When Isey wants me to go somewhere with her, she comes over and grabs a finger and says C'mon Joey...  That's exactly what she did yesterday after Brett was done watering the tomatoes.  She wanted to go to the park and play...

 I wonder what she's thinking here... she looks so deep in thought.

Celebrating the 4th of July and turning 2 years old!

The 4th of July brought a family gathering to celebrate the day as well as Isebelle's 2nd birthday!

Lovin' up Great Grandpa Jackson

Waiting for the fireworks to start...

Isey did really well with the fireworks.  It was a little loud for her once in a while, but I think she enjoyed it overall.  The grand finale was AWESOME.  You could feel it through your entire body.  The video below really doesn't do it justice...

The GRAND FINALE...

Water, Bubbles, Water, Sliding, and Dancing

Isey just loves to play with the water out of the rain barrels!  She gets soaking wet everytime, but what fun she has!  She usually waters Brett's tomatoes and peppers...then the grass...and of course the patio.

Bubbles!!  We play with bubbles a lot.  Brett got a cute shot of her trying to catch some.

Ah yes, with summer comes the swimming pool.  We were able to get a nice sized pool that fits on our patio.  It's roomy enough that I could even sit in it on a hot day.  We put her slide up so she could slide into the water.  Here you see her with her tea pot.

Tunnel slides are AWESOME!!  We got her to go down the slide on her tummy once and she then wanted to do it again...again...and again!  We'd put her up to where she could climb the steps up to the slide, she'd look into the tunnel slide and call my name, "Joey!"  I'd be at the end of the slide by then and away she'd go!  "Again!"

 I purchased this sundress for her the other day and she had so much fun dancing around in it.  She wanted me to twirl her around and she'd always be looking down at the skirt.  She just had to wear it to daycare the next day and last night when she went over to Grandma Susan's.

Blowing Kisses...

It's raining...it's pouring...

 ...but, Isey doesn't care!  She wanted to get outsde!  Brett put buckets out to catch the rain water so he can water his tomatoes and peppers when he needs to and Isey had a blast!!  I gave her a measuring cup and she would catch water dripping off the roof and dump it into the buckets...or she would transfer water from one bucket to another.  She got so wet...and dirty, but she also had so much fun.  I got her to come into the house by telling her we could play with water in the tub!  At least that water was warm! :-)

CHEEEEESE!!
