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!

Exploring Local Places

By
Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

By
The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit.  This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage.  Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough.  I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together.  They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so!  We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge.  I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm.  And of course, Ava wa...

Preparing for Vacation

By
We had a low key week, which is rare in this house. Oh sure, there were fun field trips at Summer Power, a visit to the splash pad on a hot day, and a few crazy, rain storms, but it was an easy week. Well, there was that one time when we were out for dinner with G (Ava was with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Doug for an overnight stay and a trip to the Dakota County Fair - fun!) and G decided to hide behind my chair and puke all over me and the floor (at the restaurant.) Ugh. The good news is that he was just too full of chocolate milk...no illness! A quiet week, once in a while, is an okay thing! We're starting to prep for our vacation to the Wisconsin Dells...we don't take too many family vacations, so this is a big event for us. (Funny, I took a break from writing this post as Scott just asked me about planning a trip to Disney...we were debating the differences between going to California vs. Florida...pros and cons to each!) Yesterday, I showed G a video from one of the wat...
