Happy Doggo

You know a dog is happy when she wags her tail in her sleep. I have never seen that happen until Pria came along!


We're counting down the days until school is over, and reveling in the warmer weather. G had a fun week with inflatables, and next week is all about yearbook signing and a pizza party! Ava, however, has finals on the last two days of school, so she doesn't get to celebrate quite yet. But soon!

Ava opted for just two baked potatoes for dinner...not a bad idea!


Checking out our pool on opening weekend
(Yes, it got much busier as the day went on, but we went early to avoid the crowds)



These cute little kiddos are fixed outside of our library, and G thought it would be nice to share his book with them.


We're winding down for the school year (mostly.) G had a fun week with inflatables, and next week is all about yearbook signing and a pizza party! Ava, however, has finals on the last two days of school, so she doesn't get to celebrate quite yet. But soon!

Super proud of Ava earning an Honor Letter in Band!


We have a relatively quiet weekend coming up, which is a good thing. We're trying to track down a company who can take care of a birds nest in our dryer vent line...our builder placed the dryer vent so high on the exterior wall that most companies don't have ladders high enough to reach it! Thankfully, Scott came up with a short-term solution, which allows me to at least use the dryer, without threat of burning the house down. Grateful for his creative mind!

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...

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

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...
