Great Weekend!

What a wonderful weekend we had. Saturday we woke up to blue sky. It was still a bit chilly as we headed to Gateway for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. One quick stop by Banbury Cross for some doughnuts. We found a great little spot and set up camp. Andy and the dogs relaxed and we tried to stay busy going on a few walks and talking pictures while waiting for the Parade. Sarah, Sharlee, Anni and Sonny joined us for the parade. Midway through the "never ending parade" they had to go. We stuck it out and enjoyed some nice warm sun and the crazy and fun groups that entered the parade. We then headed to our favorite taco stand for some delicious food. We found a darling little mini gourmet cupcake place and took home some cupcakes to eat. Oh my, those cupcakes where very delicious. We spent the rest of the wonderful day playing outside, cleaning the backyard and working on projects. I love spring!

Sunday and Disney on Ice!

We just love Disney on Ice and go pretty much every time it comes to town. I do think we are hitting repeats though. Still we had a blast. Gibby was out on the way there but the minute Andy put him in the seat he woke up and was so excited. Etta has a little purse that she carries old plastic cards, they look like credit cards, I give her. She had one that was from Disneyland and to bring it because she thought it was her "Disney on Ice" ticket. The nice lady at the door pretended to scan it for her. She was just bursting with excitement. Once it started both Etta and Gibson couldn't take their eyes off Mickey, Minnie, Daisy and Donald. Oh, I love seeing their pure joy and thrill over everything they see.


Sweet little Gibby out for the count

Me and my precious little Etta, I just love this girl!

We had just the best time. Came home to relax, eat some dang good BBQ (compliments of Andy) and enjoyed the rest of the beautiful weather.


Yum! Yum!
