Spring Flower Planting

Backyard planter, Bailey picked lots of these flowers.

My mom's creative masterpiece

Since Colby went fishing on Sunday, Bailey, Raif and I enlisted the help of my mom and dad to plant some flowers in our backyard and to add to the front yard. I was so tired of looking at empty planters with only bark in them to keep away the weeds. We spent a few hours and a few dollars at Armstron Nursery and turned our front and backyard into some spring time fun!! Thanks Mom and Dad for all your help. I promise to try and not kill all the flowers.

Lily

Most of you that have seen Lily do not see her on a good day (Lily is supposed to be a frilly dog, but deep down she is a rough neck). She had a day at the groomers yesterday so I thought we should take her picture to show how cute she can look on a "good hair day." Bailey asked for the cute purple bows.

Inspiration to us all to plant spring flowers!

My favorite of Raif

Bailey is actually looking at the camera.

My mom and I decided to have a fun filled afternoon at The Grove to take the kids to see the Easter Bunny. Raif thought the bunny was hysterical and Bailey thought he was the best thing in the whole wide world...but she decided this after we had her picture taken! We had a great time walking around and the best lunch at a little cafe sitting outside in beautiful California springtime weather.

A Laugh Caught on Tape

I finally captured Raif laughing while I had my camera ready. Sorry about the sideways thing again, but he was on my leg and you gotta do what you gotta do. We were watching Max and Ruby, a show about two bunnies on Noggin, and Max was being "Super Bunny." Raif thought "Super Bunny" was funny!

A Dog's Life

Boomer didn't think he was getting enough "blog time," so he has developed a habit of sitting up on the couch in the upstairs playroom in hopes of getting an "I'm so cute" picture on the blog.

Curt suggested we try the baklava before eating our lunch...a great idea!
