Right now...

...we love to try on new shoes,

play in the rain,


chase after rainbows in the desert,

eat/color with crayons,


watch some good cartoons (if only for less than five minutes),

take walks with the dogs around the yard,

stop for a drink...

...and a smile,

help Nana water her plants,

and play in my new sandbox,

with green sand stuck between my toes. :)

Only two more years in my twenties?!!

Say it isn't TRUE!?? Ah, yes, two more years until I'm thirty (scary!) I started out my 28th birthday with a much-needed haircut and shopping trip with my sister, while Rylie stayed at home with daddy. Then later on was treated to a fabulous dinner where I ate sushi for only like the third time in my entire life (yes I know I'm crazy... I guess I keep forgetting how yummy it is!) and grilled shrimp, chicken and fried rice! And of course, because you know we can't be without, a delicious chocolate ice cream cake for dessert! My day was perfect, and thought it couldn't get any better - until my mom and Todd offered to babysit for the night! Happy Birthday to me! :) And thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!
