Building a patio

 

Jon installed a new brick patio off the deck. We put the smoker grill & firepit (that we've never used yet!) on it & will buy a small table & 2 chairs to complete it.

 

 

 

Lulu loves Lane

This is my coworker Brendan's puppy. All she wanted to do was lay on top of Lane & nap while he napped!

Riding an Elephant

Not necessarily on my bucket list, but a great thing to do if given the chance and at the Cole Bros Circus for $8 a person, we were!  It was actually very fun. You feel a bit like you could fall off & it's pretty high up but the ride is slow & gentle.

Nose cups

My coworker brought in these cool cups so I took these 3 home to have Spenser try them.

Gorgeous engraving

Jon's brother Steven & his wife Jennifer got Lane this bib & burp cloth engraved with his name. Beautiful!

Stormy!

This is Stormy- the Carolina Hurricanes mascot.

I absolutely LOVE him, he is so cute & has a great, fun personality! I have always wanted to meet him & especially have a photo taken with him  yes I am aware it is a stuffed pig but unless you see him in action you don't see how darling he is!). Anyhow tonight, my dear friend Tess scored free tickets to the Canes - Penguins game from her coworker who couldn't go.  They were 3 rows from the glass!  It was so nice not only because it was a game against my former home & my current home but my Dad & brother & cousin were also there (I only hooked up with Dad & Jordy though).  Our seats were by one of the many areas where players enter & exit the ice & Stormy came out & stood there waiting to go out during one of the 20 minute breaks. When I saw him, I stood up & yelled "nobody move"!  I think I meant for Stormy not to move but I was too excited to speak correctly!  Anyhow, I got out my phone, set it to camera, literally dove over the 3 people next to me, handed the phone to a lady & grabbed my favorite mascot & posed with him.  It made my night!!!!  Cross photo with Stormy off my bucket list!

Lane's first Easter!

Happy Easter from Spenser & Lane!
