Easter Puppies

Look at these little 6 week old cuties!

Tami can't resist 'em!

 ...for some reason this picture makes me want to sing Mary Had a Little Lamb:

Speaking of a feeding frenzy...

 I like how the chubbiest puppy just pushes everyone else out of the way:

 Here's Misty the mama playing with one of her babies. 

 So cute I can hardly stand it!

I snapped a quick shot of the propeller as I was boarding a teeny tiny airplane.  My flight on this little hopper plane got delayed an hour due to "mechanical problems".  It was a white knuckle ride home, but I survived!

Feeding Frenzy

While I was gone over the weekend several packages showed up for me.  Maren, was kind enough to set all of them aside for me until I came home last night.

I immediately opened up my package from the GAP which contained the cutest little ballet flats ever!  Ok maybe not ever, the point is it was exciting to open!

I ignored the other 3 packages, knowing they were stuff Ben ordered and I am to send to him asap. 

Maren wondered why I didn't open the others.  I explained that they were stuff Ben had ordered...she still didn't get it.  She said it's still fun to see what's inside.  

Silly Maren.

Here's what was inside the first package I opened of Ben's:

"Feeding Frenzy--Prey you are not the victim"


Har Har they are so punny!!

The Dessert Diner...Oooh La La!

In between Elijah's races Tami and Adam had the brilliant idea to fill the time by taking me to this scrumpdidliumptious place called the Dessert Diner.  Catchy isn't it?

I had a hard time picking out just one...so I had two!

 This looked like something Ben would like.

 This looked something I would like!

 But then again so did all of these....

 and this one looked really yummy too...how could I choose just one??

 I'm not sure if this one looked good...or if someone spilled a can of paint...I can't decide!  Either way I thought it looked neat-o!

Still having a hard time deciding on just one piece of cake!  Even Humphrey Bogart was giving me the eye...like 'listen lady just choose already'!

So you see why I had to have two!

And here are the two delightful people who brought me to the happiest place on earth... oops I mean the Dessert Diner.

I ate their cake too.  I'm fast.  Just like Elijah.  'Here Tami and Adam let me take your picture...now just slide those pieces of cake right over here for one second'.  Ha!  Sneaky and fast!  A dangerous combination :)

Elijah's Race

While I was in California visiting the Brubaker's I got to go see Ben's little brother Elijah race.


That's him #263 without any shoes on.  Don't worry he put shoes on for the race...I think!

 It looks like they are having an intense discussion doesn't it?  Well they are.  Elijah wants us to come back 5 hours later to see the other race he's in.

 Oh look they decided to do it and everyone is happy!  Yay we are going to see Elijah's second race which he referred to as a 4x4.

I thought it involved lumber, but I can assure you it does not.

 This is a 4x4 race.  4 laps, 4 runners.  1 runner for each lap.  Elijah was runner #3...he is really fast!

And there he goes!  Leading the pack!

Racer #4 is ready to go.  He has his eye on Elijah as he approaches the end of his lap.

 Runner #4 moves further inside the track to take the baton from Elijah...too bad I missed the hand off!  That's how fast Elijah is...I blinked and I missed it!

 Runner #4 is really fast too.  Oh look he's back already!  Wowza way to zip around that track runner #4!!

It was a very close race!  Notice the time that the four runners were able to complete a mile?  Just goes to show 4 runners are better than 1!  Haha!  Get it??  You know like 2 heads are better than 1?  I crack myself up!
