Memorial Day

Today was the perfect weather for a Joyland trip. Noah went with his friend, Morgan. I was excited that he would get to go and I could stay at home and get some cleaning done. Then, the phone rings. My friend had two extra tickets that she wasn't going to be able to use. She invited me and Claire to come to Joyland with her and her two little ones. Claire has never been to Joyland, so I took the opportunity to spend some one on one time with her. She loved everything the park had to offer. I thought she would be a little timid, but that was not the case at all! She hopped on the rides just like a big girl. I found Noah and Morgan a while later. Noah was impressing her with his new found bravery. He rode all of the rides that he was tall enough to ride. I was so proud of him. Then, when I thought he was ready to wind down on the way home, I look over and he is reading his newest chapter book. There are no more AR points to earn this year. He was reading it for enjoyment. Then, I was absolutely proud of him!

Introducing ROXY

Our new puppy! She is the cutest thing ever. She is sure to be a kid friendly dog b/c the kids love on her constantly. She is a min Schanuzer. The pics are from the night we picked her up.

Catching up...Easter

The kids went egg hunting a few days after Easter Sunday because the weather was so nasty. I am glad that we waited because they had a lot of fun in the warm weather.
