Pehrsons lately....

Ummm for some reason I keep telling everyone that Jo is 22 months... What am I doing? She's already grown up so fast that I shouldn't be adding another month! So yes she is only 21 months but she acts like she's going on 5!

I can't believe its already May! Where the heck did April go? Well we've been pretty busying trying to get things in line to start building... WHAT A LONG PROCESS! Seriously this building business is crazy! We are just getting our contractor bids back and hoping to pick one soon so we can get our building permit and the loan process going. So the plan now it to hopefully start building the first part of June! OR as soon as possible! Tomorrow would be good.

So Jo is trying to talk in sentences and most of the time we can only pick up a few words but she sure tries! And she is understanding more and more things every day. Just last weekend she was watching a movie and as soon as it was over Cody said, "Stop the movie Jo." Well little Miss Busy Body, goes over to the DVD player, pushes stop, ejects the dvd, takes the dvd out, puts it in it's case and closed the dvd player! We just watched in awe as she did it all herself... just like she had done it a million times.

We helped my Grandpa work his baby calves last weekend too. What a fun time we have being up working with the calves. We were able to saddle up the horses and go for a little ride. Since Dallie is still a little too little to ride on her own she rides on the front of us...  she loves it so much; we just about can't get her off! She stubbornly told Grandpa Brent, NO with her little finger waving as he tried to pull her off the horse; she was NOT ready to get off the horse. It was too funny.

She's also been on the baby kick. She has to take her babies, yes babIES everywhere with her. She feeds them, rocks them, does their hair, takes them on horse rides, sleeps with them and shows them to everyone. In the grocery store yesterday she would hold them up and as someone would walk by she would say, BABY cute! And of course they would stop and say yes your baby is cute and she would smile and then they'd tell me how cute my little girl was and that never gets old! ha ha

Jo taking her babies for a ride, just like she does with Mom and Dad!

Funny story: Jo was watching Gnomeo and Juliet for the 1st time. Well in the movie Gnomeo gets smashed and when that happened Jo started bawling and whaling that he died. She buried her face in her hands and just sobbed. Then just a few minutes later it shows that he really didn't die and she started laughing. She has a tender heart like her Mamma!

So thats about it! I now doesnt sound like much but for some reason we have no time! It seems like we're always running around. Hopefully we'll have house building pics soon!

And I just had to share this pic....

We've still been working on the potty training thing.. yeah its pretty much just a thing that she does once in awhile. She will tell us every once in awhile that she does need to go but for the most part she does. I left her for just a minute to let her do her business and Cody calls, Mom we need your camera and this is the product! ha I love it!



Sorry this post is a bit jumbled... I just wrote what popped in my head!
