iPhones and Rodeo Time

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

She is really into our iPhones, so it's hard getting a picture of her without her running over to get the iPhone from our hands. Then it's all fake tears and whining until she gets it or we distract her with something else.
Here she comes, cute as can be, running to grab the iPhone.
I was able to snatch this pic before the grimy hands got the phone.

We went to the rodeo petting zoo this week for Spring Break (I got to take the morning off of work).  Even though I unfortunately forgot the stroller and had to run around chasing her, we had a great time!  She absolutely LOVED the petting zoo and was so fearless with the larger animals.  There were many llamas, piggies, goats, sheep and even a baby deer.  She was very sweet and gentle in petting them - having Harley to practice on helped with this new adventure. 

 Here we are at the Rodeo petting zoo. 
Let me in GOAT!!!
 I'm going to stand over by this baby lamb and explain my excitement to her.
 Oh little chicks, welcome to the world...now turn into marshmallow goodness before Easter!

A new post...finally!  I've been working a lot for the past couple of weeks.  I expected this since it is my "busy" time.  Despite all time working, I do still love my job and what I'm doing.  I haven't complained at all to Blair about working a lot, or felt the need to...which is different than my previous jobs.
I did get to take one day off and Blair and I went to Santa Barbara, CA for two nights.  We used the excuse of my birthday and got upgraded with a beach view and fireplace (nice!) at our resort.  It was truly the most relaxing and rejuvenating vacation in a long time.  We went with no definite plans and still got to do a lot, including wine tasting, spa appointments, laying out by the pool, beach walking, driving around the city and hills.  Basically I want to go back and re-live it all.

A perfect morning with my hot tea and a walk on the beach
