No more excuses

I haven't been a very consistent blogger now, have I? Well, I have quite the backlog, but I will start working on that, starting with this post.

We had to go to New Mexico "on official business" a few weeks back, and that was the first time that the little boy had been out of the state.

Yeah, the hubs and I were doing 2 separate selfies at the same time. Kinda funny when you think about it. :)

The drive was pretty uneventful, except for escaping a massive storm system - it looked awesome, though. Quite intimidating.

I think the part that the little boy enjoyed the most was the hotel stay, and specifically, the indoor pool :)

He keeps asking to go back to New Mexico so that he can swim in that pool again :)

On the way home, we spent some time driving around the hubs' hometown and showing the little boy where his daddy was born and grew up.

I had been told many a time about the infamous sand storms they had encountered when they were kids - we encountered one(ish) and it was pretty sandy alright.

Abilene Kennel Club Show

We haven't done many things/excursions on Saturdays for a while now, and so when I saw that the Abilene Kennel Club was having their annual show over the weekend, I thought that it might be fun to go see some of that.

The little boy was excited because he had never been to one before, but started getting restless after a while, because "I thought it would be more exciting than this."

*lol*

Anyway, in between walking around with the little boy to add more "excitement" to his morning, and trying to catch a glimpse of the different breeds,  I managed to get some photos. :)

There were not very many spectators in the stands - in fact, it was mostly empty, with most of the people being the participants, groomers, breeders, and just about anyone who was involved in showing a dog there.

Of course, after that we were off to Sam's, where we read books, shared a slice of pizza and a very berry frozen yogurt, all which were probably way more exciting to the little one :)

Revisiting April

Yes, folk.. APRIL!

Here's an Easter post that got lost in the system. I have recently started exploring the world of Twitter and Instagram, and sometimes stuff ends up on there and gets forgotten over here. Anyhow, I will try to be a little better at keeping up.

We had Easter lunch over at Cindy's with her family, and the little boy had fun times with his cousins and Aunt.

We got to bring the cousins to Jaxon's favorite "Umbrella Park"

The little boy dancing at the Well Child Clinic, free of apprehension because he knew that he would not get a shot this visit. *phew*

And yes, this is one mom who spent a significant portion of her life on her Playstation and now apparently, has passed on those gamer genes to her son. ( read : playing Kinect with Mommy )
