A Little Project>>>

I knitted this dress. It was really my first time really knitting. I have started many dishclothes and finished maybe 3. I had a lot of fun learning and will attempt again plus other stuff.




Italia loves the dress a little too much. She has been waiting for it for a month now and so she has been wearing it all day however she has been taking it off and on all day and so the straps are already stretched out I am hoping I can steal it back tonight and get it to shrink back up. I am glad she loves it but at the same time because I worked so hard on it I kind of don't want her to use it:) Oh well.

hopscotch

these winter days sometimes catch up to us. So I got some yarn and tape and made a hopscotch game. Barney was on the TV and they were playing hopscotch and that is what gave me the idea. Italia enjoyed it.

Arizona Trip

Last Thursday we headed out to Arizona. We drove to Salt Lake then flew to Phoenix. Italia did very well the whole way. Grandpa Dance met us at the airport. On the way to his house we stopped at an orchard and bought some oranges, yummy grapefruit, and some chocolates. Grandpa started putting a few chocolates in a bag so Italia reached in and started adding her own to his bag:)
Italia fell asleep about 10 minutes from their house. After awhile we tried to wake her up to go to dinner but she wasn't interested, until we got to the car. We went to a place called Trophy's for dinner. They have a bunch of stuffed and mounted bears, elk, buffalo, etc. Italia loved it and walked around looking at everything several times.

On Friday morning Italia discovered they had a pool. She really wanted to get in but since it was so "cold" there they don't have their pool heated so we didn't bring our suits. While Rakay and I ran an errand the men where in charge and so Italia managed to get in:)

She played in the water forever. The water was probably only about 55○.We went to an olive mill where they grow olives and make olive oil. We went on a tour and it was interesting. Then had lunch there and we all had yummy Italian sandwiches. Italia's sandwich was a Nutella Banana sandwich:)


That night Chad, Amber, Carter, and Addison came over for dinner. Italia just loves playing with them.

Saturday we went to a Renaissance Fair. It was fun and interesting. The above picture is of the Royal Court. However probably 50% of people there where dress up. Not us:)

Italia got her eyes on this Swan Swing and kept asking for a ride during out lunch. I told her to ask Grandpa ☺ So Daddy and Italia rode the "duck swing" ask Italia called it. Lunch was pretty good too.

We watched this comedy show. I think it was called "Hey Nunny Nunny" it was funny.

On Sunday we had a Super Bowl Party with Chad, Amber, and the kids again. Good fun and good food.
Monday we came home.
