Green Machine

I have decided that St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday...just for the simple fact that I love the color green. And it is definitely a day where green is prevalent!  I usually realize, on March 16, that my kids don't have anything green to wear, and then I try to throw something together. Not this year! I was prepped with green shirts for all, and in fact, I even dressed G in green earlier in the week, leading up to the day.  What's even better is that G's daycare had rainbow day on Friday, and G's class was chosen to wear green!  (I never realized how much green he has in his closet...whew!)

Even Black Bear got in the spirit and wore a green hat!



My work had a fun St. Patty's Day party on Thursday afternoon/night, and at home, Scott made an Irish dinner...the corned beef and cabbage was quite fragrant throughout the house!

The Get Lucky triplets - Dee, Chris, Matt


This was Amy's last BIW party...but we'll still be walking/running those 5ks together!


We also had our good friends spend Saturday night with us...those crazy girls were up until almost midnight. I have a feeling there might be some crabby pants in our house today!

Waiting patiently for our table for dinner...


G had a great first week in his new room at daycare...he's made new friends, is sitting on the potty, and is eating with the big kids. Looks like his transition has been a success!

Let's not forget that today is the first day of Spring! I can hear the birds chirping, and I'm hoping there's not snow on the ground when I peek out the window in a few minutes...that was a crazy surprise yesterday morning to see everything covered in white.  I much prefer the green!

Beautiful flowers to remind me Spring is here!


I came home this week to this nice message on our driveway..."Dad" is the blob between Mom and Garrett!


Happy Sunday, Happy Spring!

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

What a whirlwind week we've had...I was trying to get everything wrapped up at work so I could take my 5-day "furlough" from last Wednesday, through tomorrow. Wednesday was my first day at home, so Ava and I had a ton of "fun" getting everything ready for the upcoming activities. I did have a wonderful massage, so that started my vacation off very well... Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug drove in from KC on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great evening catching up, and enjoying the nice weather (until the downpour that happened right as they were leaving our house!) On Thursday, Scott, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Cannon Falls and Rochester to check out the areas for potential future homes/land for us. At some point, we'd like to move south of the Cities. Ava was a very good little girl, especially considering that she was stuck in a car for most of her FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! We went to Applebee's for lunch, and the wait staff came out singing to someone else...I...

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

By
This is a post that I'm not very excited to write.  As you probably know, our oldest dog, Spanky, had struggled with health issues (ear infections, seizures) his whole life, and recently, his health had severely deteriorated.  He hadn't been eating, his ear infection was so severe his face was swollen, he had a hard time getting up the stairs, and he very rarely wanted to play.  Last week we got a few tail wags from him, and he ate a few bowls of food, but it was a 50-50 chance that he would actually keep the food down. On Thursday, we made the decision that if he wasn't any better by this weekend, we were going to put him down.  I know Scott didn't want to make that decision as Spanky was a very special dog to him - he truly was his little buddy, following him around everywhere, wanting to be wherever Scott was, and howling his sadness whenever Scott would leave him. Throughout Friday night, it became clear that Spanky wasn't going to have a miraculous recovery...

The Early Bird

I realized that I skipped a chunk of pictures that I wanted to share...things were super busy last weekend, so we'll blame my lapse of memory on that! The focus was so much on Ava's party, that I neglected to share the family birthday photos, too. Two weeks ago, we invited all of the grandparents over for a wonderful dinner of smoked prime rib (and other yummy sides), and then topped it off with a raspberry mojito birthday cake for the newly minted eight-year-old. We like to experiment with different birthday cake flavors for her birthday, and this one was MUCH better than the watermelon cake from last year (gross-gross-gross!)      Saying cheese with Grandpa Doug! G and I took a break from the present pics to take some selfies ;) Even his cars made an appearance! Super excited to be receiving an aquascope! And no birthday is complete without something from American Girl - this time is was a pizza party set - awesome! We have also...
