Busy, busy!

Last Sunday we had a nice visit with Cathy, Michael and Kellen! Reggie had so much fun playing with and seeing his old buddy :o). It is always strange to see people from home here....I'm not sure how to explain it, but we don't feel as far away. It was great to catch up and hear how things are going at home.
The week went by so fast...seems like the days go by very quickly lately. We biked to school almost everyday last week and enjoyed the nice weather! We finally decided to get out in the yard and get it cleaned up. The amount of yard waste is amazing and we're not even close to being done. It has been overwhelming, but we are slowly making progress and I don't cringe as much when I go into the backyard. Now we just have to stay on top of it!
Saturday we went to an egg hunt that the Livermore Moms Club was hosting. It was lots of fun and Ainsley even got her face painted. She seems to really like that. Reggie was all over the bagels, so everyone was happy. They were very excited to see what prizes they got-pennies and candy. The egg hunt just happened to be at the rodeo fair grounds and the first sat. of every month, they have horse riding competitions. So, we ended up spending more time over there looking at the horses. Ainsley wanted to ride one, but couldn't get the courage up to touch one; not sure how that would work. The owners of the horses were so friendly and offered their horses to be pet, but I was the only taker. Reggie just loved to watch them run. It will be fun to go to the rodeo in June!



Checking out the loot....

We came home for lunch, then Reggie had his baseball game and we worked in the yard. After that we did haircuts and Ryan took the kids for a run and I went for a bike ride. It felt so good to workout after such a long break. I hate being sick! Sunday was a little more mellow, church, then yard work and then we finally finished our taxes. By the end of the weekend, we were pooped, but felt accomplished.
We are looking forward to a visit from Grandma and Grandpa on Thursday, that is if I can pick them up! My car has had a battery issue for about a year and yesterday it wouldn't start again, so it is in the shop. They haven't been able to locate the short, but they know that is what it is. I'm hoping it it ready by the time they come or things will be a little interesting!
