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!

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

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!

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...

We're Baaaaack!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since I've posted anything.  But, let's be honest - it's been a busy few weeks.  Clearly, I wasn't busy taking photos, as I only have 3 to show on this post.  Let's recap what's been going on in the Goers' household: New siding for our house...!  This is a project that we've been talking about doing for years, and we finally found someone that had the right product and the right price.  Our house is no longer a light peach color, it's Tuscan Clay with white accents.  It looks so shiny and fresh!  Now, we just need to work on our monster of a garage... I was in Palm Springs for eight, verrrrrry loooooong days.  I was staffing a travel program for one of my favorite clients, so at least I liked who I was supporting while there.  I hadn't traveled for work since May 2007, and honestly, I don't miss it.  I guess everything changes once you have a kid.  I missed Ava like crazy, and kept...
