Kings Dominion

Brian's unit sponsored a "Spring Fling" at a local amusement park, Kings Dominion, this weekend.

Before we got there, all Lily could talk about was riding the roller coasters. That was the first thing she wanted to do as soon as we got there.

First ride with Daddy!

We rode every roller coaster at least twice & then we rode them again.

Once we rode all the roller coasters & were considerably shaken up, we were finally "allowed" (by Lily) to do some other fun things...

We got to meet Dora the Explorer & her cousin Diego!

And Blue too!

Warm Weather...Finally!

Paige & Lexi came over to enjoy some much needed warm weather today. The girls were so excited to be able to play in the sprinkler & pool. Hopefully this warm weather will stick around!

Import Nationals

This weekend we went to the Import Nationals. There was a lot of car & motorcycle drag racing, a car show & a motorcycle stunt show. Lily was a little unsure at first of the loud, fast cars, but soon her & Paige were jumping around cheering for every race.

Poser

Lately Lily has been dressing up in different outfits & asking me to take pictures of her. Here are a couple of her ensembles...

The ballerina cowgirl??

New Addition to Our Family

Brian, Lily & I have some exciting news...we have a new addition to our family!!

We are pleased to introduce you to Zoey!

We found her at the local shelter & just knew she belonged with us.

She is super sweet & her & Vader are already good friends.

Gone Fishin'

Fishing with Paw Paw

Lily got tired of fishing pretty quickly & turned her attention to playing with the worms...lovely.
