Just a quick FYI...

We just added a few more pictures from our vacation to the slideshow that we posted awhile back. Feel free to check 'em out! :)

Gardening

Sorry, no pictures this time. The weather was so nice this weekend that Jason and I spent a day outside doing a bunch of yardwork. In addition, my dad came over and we planted my garden. I have tomato plants, pepper plants, cucumber plants, and zucchini plants. Now, I just have to do everything I can to not kill them...thats always the hard part.

Some more cruise pics...

These are just a few of the activities the ship had for us to do. We had so much fun! :)

Vacation- Part 1

Well, vacation is over and we have had to return to the real world! We did so much and have so many pictures that we are going to have to post this in installments! Here are just a few pictures from the first day and 1/2 while we were in Orlando.

We arrived in Orlando around 4:00pm and after checking into the hotel immediately looked for a place to eat dinner! The concierge from the hotel recommended Bahama Breeze. It was very good and a great start to our vacation eating! Will and Kali Buchanan are on the left and Tyler and Lauren Cunningham are on the right.


After dinner we headed back to the hotel for a "quiet" night in of playing games, including our favorite, Catch Phrase! Our quiet night continued until about 1:00am when security came to ask us to be quiet. OOPS...

Sunday morning we woke up and headed to Islands of Adventure Amusement park for a fun day in the sun! It was a perfect day and suprisingly the park was not crowded at all. We had to wait 15 min or so for a couple of rides, but that was all.
Here we all are in line for the Spiderman 3D ride. I think this was hands down our favorite ride.

More pictures will come in the near future...this is just the beginning :)

Vacation!

Jason and I are very excited, we leave town tomorrow morning for 2 days in Orlando and then a 6 day cruise! We will be back in 9 days and have a LOT of pictures to share with you all. Hope you have a great week, we know we will!

One REALLY Busy Weekend!

Two Royal's games, one baby shower, one 4-mile race to the Plaza, and zero energy on Monday morning! :) That's what this past weekend entailed as we experienced seemingly as much activity in a 48-hour period as any two people ever should. It started Saturday morning with a very nice baby shower for a couple that attends our church. They had some great food and it was all around a fun event (sorry, no pics from that). Then, just a few hours later we packed up the car and headed out to Kauffman Stadium to watch the Royals take on the Detroit Tigers. We had to get there REALLY early because it was replica jersey giveaway night! It wasn't all that bad though because the extra time before the game gave us a chance to check out all of the new features at the ballpark. The Royals had $250 million worth of upgrades and renovations completed in the off-season, and the stadium looks AMAZING! It's definitely a whole new place. :) The Heine's and the Larson's both came to the game with us as well as our friends, the Bakers. Besides the fact that the boys in blue lost 9-1, it was a great time. Check out some of the pics below.

The view from behind the fountains in right field - you can now walk around the entire stadium for the first time ever.

True Royals fans through and through. :)

Now on to Sunday's activities. It started at about 6:00 AM - we had to get up to run in the Trolley Run. This was our third consecutive year running this 4-miler that goes from the Waldo area to the Plaza. It is always a lot of fun because the course is very easy to run. There are almost zero uphill sections and it makes for a fast race. Plus there is always close to 7,500 people who participate each year which always makes for a great atmosphere. This year, the Larson clan joined us for the race for the first time. John ran with Jessica and Kim, Lisa and Dalton all walked the course. It was a great time!

With a quick turnaround at home, Jess and I headed back to Kauffman for yet another Royals game! I had won a pair of tickets in a raffle at work, and they were probably the best seats we have ever had at a baseball game. These tickets also got us access to the brand new Diamond Club which we visited during the game for some food. :)

Sportin' our jerseys we got from Saturday's game.

The AWESOME view from our seats on Sunday!

We had a great weekend, but were certainly exhausted by everything. The fun doesn't stop either...we have quite an exciting week coming up - more about that soon! :) Oh, I almost forgot! Here's a couple pics of our puppies. They make us laugh at some point every single day!

Bella still thinks she is a lap dog - even at 50 pounds!! Ouch!

Aren't they cute!

Spring Cleaning

Can you have Spring Cleaning when it is 30 degrees outside and snowing??? Jason and I decided to take advantage of the bad weather and stay inside all day. We slept in and spent the early afternoon cleaning. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but it was very much needed and we now feel very productive! Our closets are now spotless, carpet is vacuumed, garage is organized, and the laundry is done. Tonight we are going to watch the NCAA basketball games and order pizza. Not bad for a snow day!
