It's Summer!! Baseball is Here!

HAPPY OPENING DAY OF BASEBALL!!!










But we've ALREADY been to our first game of the season!! We spent most of Saturday at Miller Park at the Fan Fest which had autograph signing, a rummage sale, memorabilia sales and the unveiling of their new kid zone. It was a great time! Then we watched the Brewers beat the Kansas City Royals in the last spring training game of the season. Sunday we spent watching Baseball movies and the 'presidential opening' at the new Nationals park and today... Yeah!! Opening Day!!


Friday we're having friends over for an unofficial opening day (Brewers Home Opener) Our Baseball Open House will be from 1p-???

Easter

Unexpectedly... We traveled to St. Louis for Easter weekend. Pete took Friday off of work and on Thursday night we headed South. On Friday, our niece and nephews we at Pete's parents house and after lunch we had a great time in Tower Park. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast in the playground and walking through the pretty park!





































Saturday we celebrated Easter at Pete's Folks' house. There was an egg hunt and then Dad grilled pork steaks and hamburgers on the grill to add to all the sugar & hard boiled eggs we had already eaten!

Yes, if you look in the background of this picture of Brenden enjoying his basket, you WILL see Cardinal baseball!! Only 5 days!! Whoo hoo!



Even puppies love Easter! Mojo found this little mat and made it his own 'safe-spot' on Saturday.

Happy (Belated) Valentines Day

This year for Valentines day, I got Pete and I tickets to Avenue Q and Pete got the two of us a night in a hot tub suite - a mini vacation right here in town. The show was the end of February - and it was a blast. We're still singing the dirty, wicked songs and the hot tub was this past weekend. It was wonderfully relaxing, lots of alone time, good snack food and a tasty dinner out!


But before we headed out for the relaxation we took the dogs for a romp in the dog park! It's been several months since we've been there and we've never been there in the winter so we really didn't know what to expect. What we didn't expect was the layer after layer of ice that had been building and polishing all winter. It was pretty tricky footing at some points, but we both managed to keep our feet. Pete took about 100 pictures, some of the best (or at least my favorites!) are here, more are on his flicker. The dogs seemed to adjust to the ice pretty quickly, although Puja didn't corner the way she usually does, but she was still able to get some pretty good speeds. And Mojo, well, Mojo routinely looses his footing coming up the front stairs or jumping onto the bed so he did surprisingly well considering!
