Stay Tuned.....

For all of you who check my page without my email reminders, I just wanted to say that we are still alive. Sorry I have not updated lately, but honestly we have been very boring. The highlight of our weekend so far is Riley and me taking Diesel to the vet for his annual check up. He weighed in at a whopping 99 pounds! Guess who is going on a diet?? Then he got a lot of shots and the full work up since he may be almost 7...wow. He was not a puppy when we got him and we will have had him for 5years on the 30th. I promise that we will have exiciting things to blog about soon. One of these days the weather will stay nice and we will get outside. And summer is coming!!!! Last I counted, it is less than 30 days of work (maybe 27 now)....who is jealous?????

Happy Easter!!

What better way to wake up then to the sounds of an Easter egg filled with change rattling in your ear? No way, if you see the smile that accompanies the jangling! This is exactly the way that we woke up today when Riley found some of the hidden treasures on the way to our room. Last night the Easter bunny hid some more eggs around our house. Riley started her day by finding all of them, checking out her Easter basket, and then checking out what was inside. If you were to ask this almost 3 year old if there were any better way to start off a day, I bet she would say "NO". Here is to a great Easter (and Passover) to all!

Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday we took Riley to an Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by our church. Riley had a great time getting all the eggs to put in her basket. With all the kids there, the hunt took a total of 3 minutes. Yes, you heard me right, just 3 minutes. After hunting, Riley got a chance to see the Easter bunny and then check out what she got in her eggs. She had so much fun, that this may have to be an annual trip.

We're going to the zoo....

Today Mike and I both had the day off, so we took advantage and headed to the zoo. The wind was chilly, but overall it was a great day. I think that we walked the whole zoo and saw most of the animals that were outside. Surprisingly, we did not head into many buildings. We also went to see the new dinosaur exhibit. Riley was a little scared and went through some of it with part of her stroller canopy pulled over her head. I think that deep down she liked it though...she just likes to say that things scare her. It was a great family day and I cannot wait until it gets warm and we can head to the zoo without the winter jackets.
