34 miles

The new doors that Rick put in between the Office and Kitchen. They look good.

Dexter wanted his picture taken too.

Josie ran all over the house with her pail on her head, she is so cute

The Rugroden's

I made it all the way to New Richland on my bike. To bad I still had to bike back to Waseca!

We have been very busy. Rick got the new door in. It looks great. I babysat Liam and Josie on Friday. We had lots of fun. Today Rick and I biked to New Richland and back for a total of 34 miles. I am tired now! When we got back we went to the store and spent a ton a money, we were out of everything. Now we are going to watch UFC.

Everyone, Everywhere, Ends Up Six Feet Under

Just a couple more pictures of Bon Jovi. Cassie's camera took much better pictures them my phone.

We finished watching Six Feet Under last night. I really like the series. I was also really happy with the way they ended it. So many times they end series so bad but this time they did good. Rick put the french doors going into the office last night. They look really good. We just have to get them stained today and put the trim up. We got bad news last night. Someone else put an offer on the house we want but it is contingent on them selling there house too. So now it is a race to see who will sell there house first. I really want the house but if we don't get it we don't get it. There is nothing we can do about it at this point. We will see how the open house goes on Sunday. Hopefully someone likes our house.

I went for a 3.5 mile run today. It is so nice out. Tomorrow we have to go to Ricks mom's house and if it is nice out I think we are going to bike there. I am pretty sure it will just about kill me but I will do it. I really need to get going and get back into shape. I am way behind on my half marathon training.

Amy is bringing the kids over today for me to babysit so I better get going.

Bon Jovi

Last night Cassie and I went to the Bon Jovi concert. It was so good! I have to say it was one of the best concerts I have ever been too. We were way up high as you can see by the pictures. I took the pictures with my cell phone so they are not very good. Cassie had her camera so when she gets the pictures down loaded I will put a few on here. I did not get home until almost 1:00 A.M. way past my bed time!

Today I had to go to Mankato to get the breaks finally fixed on my car. It was part of the Toyota recall. Now I am going to take Dexter for a walk so he stops wining.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is Dexter's second birthday!!!!

Christa and her bunny cake

Liam hunting Easter eggs

Josie hunting Easter eggs

Nick getting pulled into the tree by the monster squirrel!

Another Easter has come and gone. I had to work on Easter but I left 2 hours early so I could enjoy the day. We all went to mom and dads house. We had a good time and the food was really good. Of course by the time we ate supper I was not to hungry because I ate so much Easter candy. Do you know that they make chocolate covered peeps, they are so good.
They are having an open house at our house on Sunday. So now we are in a rush to get the touch ups done on the house. Last night Rick pulled the wall paper off the 2nd bathroom in the house and this morning he painted it before he left for work. It looks much better now. We are also going to put some french doors going into the office off of the kitchen. It use to be a bedroom but Rick took part of the wall out years ago to open it up. We want to put doors in so that it can still be used as a bedroom if someone wants too. That way the house is a three bedroom house instead of a two bedroom house. The only other thing we need to do is paint the steps going down to the basement. We are going to busy the next few days. Good thing today is my Friday.

Asparagus Primavera

I cooked again!!! I know it is almost like I like cooking again. Or I bought the stuff to make it so I had to cook before it all went bad. It was really good. The top picture Liam took of Josie. He loves to take pictures. Hope everyone has a happy Easter!

"Nana don't flush my shoes down the toilet, I need them." -Liam

Yesterday while I was babysitting Liam he was on the toilet and he said to me that he did not want to fall in because then I would flush him down. I told him I would never flush him down the toilet. Then he want on to say "don't flush his shoes down because he needed them." It was so funny. I had to tell him several times that I would not flush his shoes down.
Well they accepted our offer on the house. Now we are in the waiting game. We have to sell our house first. We have the other house for sure unless someone else comes along that does not have the contingency that they need to sell there house first. I really hope that does not happen but there is nothing we can do about it. The realtor was having a fit because he wanted us to take the contingency off. But I really want to be able to sleep at night and not worry about making two house payments until the house sells. So we just have to keep our fingers crossed that no one else comes along and our house sells fast.
Last night I went for my first bike ride of the season. We biked 21 miles. I was shot! It was a lot more windy then I thought it would be and I am so out of shape. But it was fun to be out on the bike again.
Today I had to leave the house at 10:15 for someone to come look at it. They were suppose to be her between 10:30-11:30. So I took Dexter and we walked to the bank and back. We got back to the house at 11:40 and they were still here! So I just kept on walking and took Dexter to the lake. He was pretty tired. It was a long walk for him. When we finally got back I gave Dexter a long needed bath. Now I am going to go pay a couple of bills and then try and go for a run.
