A day with my favorite person

Thanks to my parents Dusty and I have a couple of days to ourselves. Dusty took today off work and we spent the day in Indy. We walked around the mall and even though I had a $25 gift card, I didn't find anything to spend it on. We ate lunch at The Spicy Pickle. (Think Panera Bread) Next stop: Lifeway, where I picked up a CD that I had been wanting - Fee! Then we walked around the Fashion Mall and ended up in Saks Fifth Avenue. Totally out of anything close to my price range!! Got some ice cream at Maggie Moo's and spent 2 hours just talking in the ice cream shop. Uninterrupted adult conversation with your spouse....I highly recommed it! We ended the day at a Pacer game downtown. Something we had yet to take in since we have lived here. Pacers won by 20 points. One would hope so - we were playing the Miami Heat, the worst team in the NBA.

At Conseco Fieldhouse - we were in the 3rd row of the balcony. We may have been up high, but we were center court. Not too bad seats

Just to prove that Dusty was there also. However this is what sometimes happens when you let other people use the camera. Focus issues!

Boomer the Pacer mascot. Before the game he was in the hallway outside our section signing autographs. I did what any self respecting 30 something adult would do and said, "This is for my kid!" :)

Pat Riley - coach of the Heat. He was the Laker coach when I would cheer for them as a kid! Mostly cheered for them because my Dad liked the Celtics and I would take the opposing side. Come to think of it, I cheered for the Cubs when my family were Cardinal fans. :)

Stupid city people!

Just like Mommy

She wants to wear my shoes. She likes a little dab of makeup. If I'm cleaning, she wants a dust rag too. I'm sure the day will come when she doesn't want to be just like Mommy. I'm going to hold onto it while I can.

Allison - Sneak Peeks

I had the fun task yesterday of taking Allison's 1-year photos. She always puts a smile on my face! She's a girl on the move though. We had to keep turning her around to face the camera. And the last photo should be Allison - the outtake! Everytime I use the petals the first thing the little ones do is to stick them in their mouth.

Happy Birthday Heather!

Happy birthday to one of the best friends a person could have! I won't give her age, but if you count the candles, they are correct! :) Happy birthday friend!

Happy Easter

We hope that you had a wonderful Easter! We enjoyed celebrating the Resurrection together with friends and family. Happy Easter!
