My Little Dirt Devil

A little dirt never hurt....

As I've mentioned...Maile loves dirt. Daddy loves being a big kid. Dirt and kids go well together. Hence the following pictures....The land across the street from us is being developed...and what a fun filled afternoon it made for the Sipes Family. Yes...she was a MESS...but man she had a good time!!

Daddy's getting ready...

for a trip to Arizona to go on a 4-wheeling adventure with his brother Russell. Maile and Momma are staying home. Which means for the first time ever we will be away from Daddy for a whole week. I know I am already dreading it...and I know that Maile will be at a loss. This morning Richard was checking to see if his riding gear would fit in his bag. Maile made sure that SHE fit in the bag! Looks like someone wants to go with! We will miss you Daddy!

sick...

Maile was feeling a bit under the weather the other day....fever..vomiting..all the fun things that a mother could ask for. It always breaks our heart when she is sick. What a laugh I had when I walked into the living room to find our sweet little sick girl alllll dolled up in her dress up clothes. I was impressed....I know that when I feel awful the last thing I want to do is get dressed up! Thought you might like to see the proof! (by the way...she is all better now!)

Sillyness..

Our little hambone....I picked up some cheap sunglasses at Walmart in the party favor section and as you can tell the kids had a ball playing with them and smiling for the camera. The last pictures is a bit blurry but I had to try and capture Maile running around with Tanner's goggles on and her binky in her mouth...too funny! Hope that all is going well for everyone!! Enjoy!
