Back in Action

First things first: please excuse my blogging absence. We're alive and well but I have just been so super tired lately that I've slacked off on the blogging. I'll just give some quick recaps of what we've been up to.

*Highway to the Danger Zone* - That's the Top Gun theme song if it doesn't ring a bell. We went to the air show at Davis Monthan Air Force Base and we had a blast. Dan's dream of being a pilot was reinforced and my dream of being a pilot by living vicariously through him was brought to life. I got a wicked sunburn and regretted forgetting sunscreen for many days afterward but it was a good time. The Thunderbirds were AWESOME and Dan bought his boy a souvenir, his very own Thunderbird F16. :) Dan + aircraft = match made in heaven. He looks good posing with it, right?

*GRASS* - Dan and I decided on a whim one day to put a *small* patch of grass in our yard. I fought the whole grass idea for awhile because I don't want to have to maintain it, but we decided our yard needed a little color. So far the dogs have only destroyed a small portion of it. Dang dogs... I told Dan I wanted to come outside and do yoga on the grass, so he demonstrated what that might look like.

*Easter* - Easter was spent at Casa de Robles this year. We had a lovely dinner prepared by Jannie and a super fun Easter egg hunt for all the kids (Skylar, Dan, Christie, Celena, June, Ray, you know, the KIDS). Tim's dogs were visiting for the day and got lucky by finding a few Easter eggs for themselves. I bet the ride home smelled nice... Mom and I took a pic by the lovely lilac bush.

*Christie Lee turns twenty-three* - Yep, I had a birthday and my wonderful husband got me this sweet cruisin' bike. I hadn't ridden a bike since the tender age of about 7 so we had to have a bike riding lesson on my b-day. I took the day off work and gave Dan permission to skip his classes to hang out with me all day. :) I'm happy to report that I can now ride the bicycle. THANKS, DAN! Oh, and this is also evidence of a much larger baby belly now.

*Just one thing missing* - A little baby boy, of course! The crib is all set up, the baby bedding all washed, the room was already painted yellow (hallelujah), and now all we need is a little baby to put in there. Ok, and A LOT of other stuff, but at least the little guy will have a bed all ready for him. I love, love, love this crib set. The animals are just so cute! Stay tuned.
