Finally in Las Vegas!

I finally made it to Sin City and had a great time with my Purina clients this week. The weather was a sunny 80 degrees and felt amazing compared to the 30 degree weather I left back home. I saw the Bellaggio fountain while Candy and I sipped champagne across the street, watched Elton John perform on his 61st birthday and won $150 while playing b-i-n-g-o! Oh, and my presentation on the switching behavior and nutritional beliefs of breeders was well received too. (If you look closely in the pic, you'll see my newly pierced ears! I now know that anything can happen in Vegas.)

Easter 2008



We hope everyone had a happy Easter! The Easter Bunny almost didn't make it to 100 Jersey for the first annual basket and jelly bean nest hunt, but after a panicked start at 6:15 a.m. she rallied and came back for a strong showing. The basket, tracks and nests were strategically placed in the living room (flour was substituted for baby powder as Milly was about to wake-up and risking the noisy linen closet door wasn't worth it). Once everything was done, she made coffee, checked in on Milly and we went upstairs to get Daddy.





Milly's response to, "I think the Easter Bunny was here." was, "Wow! At Milly's house? (HUGE smile!)" Milly got shy during the actual 'hunt', but nerves turned into smiles again once a jelly bean hit her lips. After we went to church (Milly was on her most perfect behavior), we packed the car and headed to Grandpa and Grandma Frys' house. The Easter celebration was spent watching Milly find hidden eggs, Aggie accidentally eating a chocolate egg, Marge and Lilly wrestling, both Angie and Milly opening multiple Easter baskets and eating the most delicious meal. We really out did ourselves. After dinner the adults traded Easter baskets playing the same dice game we played at Christmas. It was a lot of fun. Justin received a basket full of grilling accessories, sauce and candy and Michelle received a Perkins restaurant gift basket with a nice gift card, pancake fruit sauce and candy. We were all winners!

The day came to a close well after dinner time and since both of us were traveling the next day (Justin to Philly, Michelle to Vegas) we had to sadly leave the girls w/ Russ and Janice. It was a great Easter and we're still eating our way through the candy!

Happy Easter


Milly and I made the best of the wintry conditions. We sang Christmas songs and created a masterpiece on the day before Easter. Milly named him Elmo... go figure.

Ready, Set Go!

We're blogging! It's sad when your parents beat you to new technology, but we're off and running now. We received 3 to 4 inches of snow today--Happy Spring! At least the tulips aren't up.

We hope to update our blog every weekend and will do our best to post pictures.

Does everyone have a March Madness bracket? I'm in last place already ; (

Blog soon,
