Car Show

We went up to a car show (“auto fair”?) at the speedway a few months ago which was an interesting experience. 

Wouldn’t you know it, but in the sea of endless cars, car parts, car specialists, and car enthusiasts, we found the Elvis impersonator contest.  Like a moth to a flame…
The boys (all 3 of them) loved it!

Lazy 5 Ranch

Back in March we took our first trip to the Lazy 5 Ranch.  I’ve heard really great things about it and was excited that the weather was getting warmer and we could spend a few hours outside.  It’s kind of like a zoo that you can either ride your car through and feed the animals out of the windows or you can take a wagon ride pulled by two Clydesdales with a group of people.  We opted to take the wagon ride and it was so much fun! We saw all kinds of animals and could feed most of them right out of our hands!  After the wagon ride we walked around and saw kangaroos, peacocks, and all kinds of farm animals.

We saw this poor mamma-to-be on the way in.  Just when you think you can’t be any more uncomfortable at 40 weeks, this puts it all into perspective!

Yellow Cake & Chocolate Icing AGAIN!

We celebrated John’s birthday with another glorious yellow cake / chocolate icing celebration.  The boys loved singing and wearing their birthday hats.  Happy Birthday to my sweetheart and MANY MORE to come!

If I Only Had the Words

To appropriately caption this picture.  Here goes nothin’…

- “Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it – Vogue”

- “Oh. You don’t enjoy a nice afternoon in February running around in your dude suit?”

- “Two snaps ‘round the circle and back again girlfriend”

- “My milkshake brings all the girls to the yard…”

- “This belly? Oh it came straight from my Mom.”

 

Easter 2013

Easter came this year with a visit from the Bunny Village and Pop Pop & GG! We were lucky because the original Easter Egg Hunt was rained out so Pop Pop and GG could come with us for the first time to the hunt.  We practiced at home to make sure the boys had the hang of it.  They did pretty well filling their baskets with eggs – a skill they did not inherit from me!

 

 

The Easter Egg Hunt is always fun in our neighborhood because they have a petty zoo and pony rides.

We had a great long weekend with great food, wine, company and eggs! :)
