Construction & Grandpa

But it's mostly Grandpa! These are a little out of order but that's okay! We are just glad that my Dad got to come visit and help us with our kitchen remodeling (those photos are coming later once we actually get done) !

Hannah "drinking" from whatever she could find! In this case it was the pluming that Jon was using to install our sink. Silly girl!``
This is the last night...Hannah playing with her big red ball that Grandpa got her at Target. It's what Grandparents do right?!

Day one: All smiles during breakfast. That's some banana bread that I made figuring that would be an easy breakfast for the weekend since we would have no kitchen for a few days!

There's nothing better than a good shoulder ride!

Hannah "helping" her Dad cut the counter top. Her way of helping is pretty funny because it could be getting in between your legs or hauling off the tool that you need...either way, she's a great helper, especially if it involves being outside!

My Dad said that he's been waiting almost 15 months to get to do this. Isn't that sweet? They did it a lot so hopefully he got his fill for a while!

Still day one I believe. Hannah did not so much love the sawing, drilling, or other random sounds that were prevalent during the construction. She also did not love having her house chaotic, but then again who could blame her?! I think we all were a little crazy from it!

New floors! Hannah really enjoyed helping with the cleaning...dust pans, swifters, mops, brooms, you name it. Here she is helping Grandpa and me scoop up some saw dust!

We also celebrated the Fourth of July while my Dad was here. We knocked off work early, went out for barbecue, and set up chairs on our deck to watch some fireworks.

Me, Hannah, and Grandpa at dinner. Hannah was a big fan of the restaurant because she got sweet potato fries and okra!

Still lovin' it!

So there were some huge thunderstorms expected for the evening of the 4th and they cooled things off significantly. It was actually chilly sitting outside!

So we moved the party inside. Hannah was being so sweet with her Grandpa that evening...even fed him some goldfish!

Not sure if you can tell from the pictures, but these are our wet (as in rained on) chairs that we had originally planned to sit in to watch fireworks. Instead we had to watch from the door because it was pouring down rain out there!

This is Jon's butt sitting on Hannah's new ball. She wasn't happy that he was sitting on it so she was trying to bump him off...his butt is just a little bigger than hers though!

Grandpa sharing some iced tea with Hannah...let's just say Grandpa was top dog that evening for that! And for all of you Mom's out there that are worrying, the tea was decaf!

Our view from a walk that we took. The bottom left is Garden of the Gods and the mountain is Pike's Peak. We walked here from our house and it took about 15-20 minutes! Awesome!

The trail that we walked on...did I mention this is within WALKING distance from our new house?!?! I LOVE it!

Hannah might be a bit like her Daddy because she was trying to climb all over! We had to keep a tight grip on her hand or else she would have totally jumped down to other rocks...no good for her being that this little "cliff" was about three feet down!

She didn't mind holding hands as long as we kept walking!

When we were headed home, Hannah went to sleep. We took her out of her stroller and laid her in bed. This is how my Dad found her just moments later! Wide awake!
