Let the zoo days begin!!

We headed out to the zoo a couple weeks ago.  We met a friend from high school and her family for a few hours of fun!  Alivia and the two other kiddos had a great time!! Alivia LOVES the animals which makes the zoo so much more fun!!  Now, if only the train would have been running...good thing this was just the first visit of many!!

Looking at the fishies (aka Nemos) with Daddy!!

She started here...

and somehow ended here.

Silly cheese!

Such a big girl!

Omaha Home and Garden Show

Once again the Omaha Home and Garden Show was a HUGE success!!  Tom is still trying to catch up on all the leads the show brought in almost a month ago!  Here are a few images for your viewing!! 

 I had to include one with Alivia in it!! 

She loved hanging out at the show....probably because there was a outdoor playset vendor with slides caddy corner from our booth.

Sliding into Spring!

 Thanks to some AMAZING friends, Alivia has a fun, new (to her) play set in the backyard! We put it up last fall but only had a couple weeks to use it before it got to cold. We immediately jumped at the chance to use at the first sight of spring! Now if the weather could manage to stay warmer, I would be a happy mama. Alivia would LOVE to spend all her time outside on her slide!

 swinging like a big girl!

St. Patty's Day!

Alivia started St. Patty's day not wanting to take pictures...

 But finished the day super happy...

 loving the weather,

 and then heading to Gigi and Papa's for corn beef and cabbage!

Checking out the Competition...

I'm a little behind so here is to catching up!!

Early in March we went to a home and garden show at the Quest Center to check out Tom's competition.  We don't participate in that show because we have a booth in the Omaha Home Show that was at the end of March.  Here's Alivia checking out the competition.

Cheese!!

 Note to daddy...cover the pond liner!

 Ok dad, you can do better than this!!
