Destri Had a Little Lamb

Destri Had a Little Lamb

Grandpa Rick takes Destri out to the farm almost every day to feed all the animals. Her favorite part is feeding the lambs from a bottle. She LOVES it. She giggles and squeals when they start sucking from the bottle. Then she gives them hugs and pets them. She even lets them suck on her fingers. I was so surprised she wasn't at all afraid at first. She just loves animals. Then he takes her in the farm truck to feed the cows, and she loves seeing the llama. Grandpa Rick just loves her little farm buddy. Grandpa's farm is the BEST!!

Go CUBBIES!!

Go CUBBIES!

Every year we go to Las Vegas and watch the Cubs play in Spring training. This year they played the Red's. Brian's mom and dad always take us, and we ALWAYS have a blast. The weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL this year. We had really good seats along the 3rd baseline, and it was a really good game. There were a few homers, and of course lots of ballpark treats. The Cubs ended up losing 9-8 in the 9th. :( But we still had a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere. Destri was the cutest little Cubs cheerleader! Can't wait to go back next year!

As part of our annual trip to see the Cubs play in Las Vegas, we also stay at the MGM every year. The kids really enjoyed themselves. They especially loved the lions and the Rainforest Cafe. Destri was a year older this time, and could appreciate it more than last year. They also had a boxing fight going on that weekend, and it didn't cost much for tickets with our rooms, so Boyd and Sherry decided to get the tickets. They all went to the fight, and I stayed with the kids. They loved the fights and had a blast. Me and the kids also had a great time. We went to McDonalds in the food court and then enjoyed some fun time in the Arcade. It was such a great trip, and we loved the warm weather! It's so fun that we have made it an annual tradition. We look forward to it every year!!

They were having a blast stepping on the bubbles and fish!
