RMS Band Concert

What an exciting week! Ava had her first middle school concert on Thursday night, and they did great! She's been practicing pretty thoroughly over the last few months, and her tone sounds wonderful. There was a small little glitch when they walked to their seats and none of us could find her. Luckily I tracked down a few directors and they helped me to locate her...right in the middle of the trumpets. Yep. Pretty embarrassing that I couldn't even find my own kid. But, whatever, she was there and she did very well!

Smiling proudly after the concert! (Hey, look, there she is!)


G also had a super fun week...his elementary school was celebrating their 25th anniversary so they had an ALL-SCHOOL (!!) field trip to a bowling alley on Thursday during the day. They bowled, played in the arcade, and competed in a school-themed bingo game. Everyone had so much fun that day, and it was a wonderful way to celebrate a great school!

Scott and I had stuff going on every night this week, and with the snow that we received, Scott's time at home was cut short due to plowing. I am hoping that he's still happy that he bought the plow this year. I know all of our friends like not having to shovel their driveways!

Apparently we've been too busy to take pics this week...oops! Or, we've been too busy doing things that we haven't thought about pulling out our phones? Maybe? Oh well. Next week will be full of opportunities to capture more moments of the kids having fun!

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...

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

By
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...

The Early Bird

By
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...
