Bill and I went to the Memorial Golf Tournament. It was a beautiful (hot)day and we had a lot of fun watching all the golfers!




Our new favorite thing!

So we've been grilling out just about every night and I got on allrecipes.com and got the idea to grill pizza. As you can see, I'm not real careful about the shape of the dough :-) but it's so super delicious. I put fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil (from my garden :-) on this one and had olive oil dipping sauce for it. Bill's pizza had the tomato sauce, cheese and turkey pepperoni. It's sooooooo delicious!

the babies are growing up!







We went to a Clipper's game! It was really fun, but got rained out at the end.

Rescue Run!
There were tons of dogs and runners there. It was such a fun day and Linds and I did pretty well running! I was practically dragging Palmer by the end and we ended up walking the last half mile or so, but it was a good start!







Baby bunnies in the front yard!

Brand new babies in the hanging basket!

Saturday, May 09, 2009

More babies! This is the third bird's nest I've seen in our yard that has eggs or babies in it! I think there are 3 babies in the nest, but I can't really tell. This one is in our back yard and the dogs look up and tilt their heads when the babies are squawking- I'm just waiting for one of them to get attacked by an angry momma bird.

I have decided that I desperately need to start running again, so Linds and I signed up for a 5k on May 23rd (www.rescuerun.com). My goal is to run it in under 30 minutes, but so far, I've been running a 12 minute mile (I've always been a slow runner, but the extra pounds certainly don't help!). It's 2 weeks from tomorrow, so we'll see!!! Wish me luck and ask me about it if I don't post anything (keep me honest :-)

I went to the spring game with Sharon, Mariah, Karboy, and the kids. We got awesome seats in the front row of the C deck. We had so much fun!
It was a loooong walk to the stadium...

It was a great day for a football game! Too bad I had to go home and work on the basement :-(

Getting the house ready to sell... Bill did a bunch of landscaping out side and we cleaned like crazy inside. I'd be excited if we got to move but also sad. I love our little house!

Sharon and I met at Easton and ate at Mr. Sushi for lunch! It was delicious! We got a spicy tuna roll (the BEST spicy tuna around), volcano roll (yummy baked one), crazy roll (mmmm), and the one with fish on top (can't remember the name, but we picked all the fish off of the top- it was too fishy:-). I highly recommend Mr. Sushi! It's priced decently and delicious!


Thanks to Palmer, I caught this beautiful sunrise this morning! :-)
