So Many Movies!

It was a busy week of movies! I went to three movies in a one-week period. Yikes. Same theater for all three movies, and same seat for two of the movies, and exactly one row difference for the 3rd movie. The next movie will be coming up on April 13, and then I'll probably take a little break. Whew.

On Thursday night, I went to The Chosen, part 2 (three hours on a Thursday night after a long day of work and then barre class was a lot...not sure I could do it again. I'm grateful I can watch this again when it streams in a few months...I might have snoozed for a little bit!)


On the same night (Thursday), Ava and Aaron also went to the movies (Minecraft Movie.) I looked for Bernice and parked by her so she wasn't so lonely in the parking lot. :)


And then on Friday night, G, Steve, and I went to the Minecraft Movie. Fun times, and so much popcorn!


In other news, I made a great breakfast earlier this week...Greek yogurt and raspberry and lemon granola, along with avocado toast, topped with everything bagel seasoning. SO good!


And this kid lost two teeth within a 24-hour period! He received a LEGO set for the first one, and $1 for the other one. Slowly but surely, he's getting rid of those teefers!


Other than all of the movies, it was another busy week of school, work, LifeTime, and fun. This Saturday, we're watching Deb's pooch (Yental), while Deb moves to a new home. And my mom and I are headed to Cannon Falls for a girls getaway day. We are so fortunate to be close to family!

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...

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...
