Time flys when you are having fun....
Well it has been almost three weeks since my last post and several things have been going on so here is a quick recap! Mom and dad came down for a few days and we really enjoyed it as they came on Wednesday and didn't go home until Sunday so this gave us a lot of time together. We took them to Niffers and the Brick Oven to eat and they really liked each of these and I have to say they are two of my favorite places in Auburn to eat....Cheryl was jealous! The next weekend we spent at Mom and Dad's where Scott could continue working on the bbq smoker (it is almost done) and Cheryl and I went out Sunday and each of us bought at Wii! The Wii has been the most fun and everyone that has played it seems to really like it and it is funny watching people (like me) participate in sports they would have never played without this. This past weekend we finally got Molly for a weekend (her mom took her to the Mall of America the last time we were supposed to have her) and we went to the Auburn City Fest on Saturday morning, went out to lunch, went shopping for a game for the Wii and then went home to play. Scott and Molly stayed up until after 11:00 playing and I was fast asleep so it was nice for the two of them to have some daddy-daughter time. On Sunday Brittany came over and spent most of the day with us (again playing the Wii) and she really liked the fishing and boxing. After all of this it was time to take Molly home and we had borrowed Dad's truck on Friday so we met with them Sunday night to exchange vehicles and ended up eating dinner together which Scott and I really enjoyed. I guess that wraps up what we have been doing. This week we have a dr's appointment so keep an eye on the baby blog for a new picture and for those of you that have participated in the game of guessing the gender, birth date and weight thanks as it has been interesting seeing what each of you think and if you haven't had a chance to play go to the baby blog and enter your guesses. This weekend we are back to Mom's for what should be the last weekend working on the smoker before it comes to our house and hopefully I will have pictures soon. Love you all and until next time!

Pool Makeover
Well this past week we got the new liner in the pool and the salt system has been installed as well. I have also posted a couple of pics and the one of the before is kind of gross because we decided not to worry about keeping the pool clean during this past winter as we knew we were going to replace the liner in the spring so the water is definitely more like swamp water...giggle. The man that came in the replace the liner cleaned the steps (in the pic with the new liner the steps hadn't been cleaned yet) to where they look like new and replaced all the fittings as well and I will try to take a picture of the pool now that it is full with water as it looks really good!! When I first got home when the new liner was put in but before it was full of water I wasn't really sure about it but it turned out great. Now all we have to do is wait for the water to warm up and then we can dive in!!

We have been so busy here lately that I haven't had a chance to post so I will try to catch up on what has been going on. We have been trying to find a home for our dog Chase for the last month and Easter weekend we received a call from a woman who was interested in him but wanted us to send her some pictures and then she would call us over the Easter weekend if she wanted him. We never heard from her so I assumed she didn't want him but when we got home Sunday night she called and said that she indeed wanted him and wanted to know if we could bring him to her that night! We gathered up all of his stuff and then I got the chance to play with him for a few minutes and then he was gone and I have been having a little bit of a hard time with it but I know it is for the best. I was not prepared for that and could not go with Scott to drop him off. We have always said that we didn't get to spend enough time with him and felt bad for that and this is an older couple who's kids no longer live at home and Scott said that the lady was real nice and said not to worry about Chase that she would be real patient and loving with him. This past weekend we were at Mom and Dad's again and Saturday it was a girls day out with me, Mom, Cheryl and Molly and we had a great time and then that night we had a little birthday party for Dad and had a lot of fun playing a board game that we got for Dad and it was "Are You Smarter Then a Fifth Grader" and we certainly got a lot of laughs out of it and NONE of us are "Smarter Then a Fifth Grader"! This weekend we are going to be busy at our house as we have someone coming over to replace the liner in our swimming pool and also switch us over to a salt system instead of chlorine and we also plan on doing a lot of work around the house as the weeds are sprouting up everywhere and we need to clean up some stuff outside as well. Well I hope everyone is doing well and until next time!
