April 2009
Our trip to Helena over Easter weekend was a big chunk of April because we were there for five days, so there isn't much more to post. But because we did have more fun than just that weekend I thought you'd like to see.
On the 3rd we went to a very cool AIDS awareness exhibit thing here at a church in Billings. It was put on by the World Vision Experience. It was a self guided tour where you put on headphones and listen to a narrator tell stories and guide you through the experience. They didn't allow pictures, but I snuck one anyway. Here's Izzie and Nell looking as beautiful as ever in their sweet headphones.
April was also the month we were able to paint the basement. Nell and I managed to get the primer on the walls in about 7 hours one day. It might have gone faster if we hadn't caught a snag in the afternoon. Izzie found one of our paint trays while we weren't looking and in about 30 seconds managed to paint her face arms and clothes. I'm not sure if she thought it was lotion or what, but the kid was on a self painting mission. She succeeded.
We also had a concrete collision. Izzie fell off of the front porch head first. Lucky for here the sidewalk was there to break her fall. The result was an awesome bruise.
While we were in Helena we went to a park near the Huschka's house where we found the world's worst slide. I'm sure I don't need to explain why after you see this video.
Izzie also became the proud new owner of a squirt gun while we were in Helena. Here she is a few days later at home just after a bath. She shot herself in the eye and I was lucky enough to catch her reaction.
In April we also graduated Izzie from her crib to a big girl bed. The first night went well because she didn't know she could actually get out. That revelation came the second night. Needless to say the first few weeks of the big girl bed were rough on mom and dad. There should be instruction books for things like this. We made it through the rough part though. Now it's just every once in a while when she doesn't want to go to sleep that we have a tough time with her. We still close her door all the way though so that she can't escape and come to our room. Sometimes we find her sleeping on a mound of stuffed animals in front of her door, and sometimes we find her sprawled out on the floor in the mornings. Here's picture of her sleeping on her floor.
Here's Izzie hanging out with mom and dad in Lowe's while we shopped for doors.
And that was the interesting stuff from April.
