So an update I guess.

Wow, I lead an incredibly boring, non-blog worthy life lately! I think it is the winter blues, or maybe just the fact that lately I feel like all I ever do is go to work, come home, and do it all over again! Hopefully once the weather warms up there will be more time for fun!

I do however get the chance every now and then to hang out with these cute kids! We went to feed the ducks last weekend, and it was freezing! When we first got to the pond this little man was so excited, pointing and saying "Ducks, ducks, ducks". So I ran back to the car to get my video camera, and by the time I got back he wouldn't say it for the life of him! He acted almost timid, but then decided the ducks were okay and wanted to chase them! I loved this pic because although his looks says, "why on earth did you bring me here" he really did have fun

These girls had a bunch of fun too...they each fed the ducks an entire bag of bread!

When the weather decided to get warm for a week or two, I made it a goal to take Toby for a walk at least 3-4 times a week. (Sadly this past week I have failed because of the rain, snow & cold) But Toby loves these walks. I don't really get much of a workout with them because he has to stop and smell EVERYTHING, but the walks are to benefit him, so I'm good with that!

This is how the walks start:

This is the awesome path we take: (I love going thru the orchards because I don't have to worry about Toby doing his business on other people's lawns! )

This is how our walks usually end up:

Toby runs his guts out and then will just stop. He won't move, won't walk, nothing. That is my cue from him that he is ready to be carried the rest of the way! He is such a spoiled dog! Haha, but I've been enjoying these walks because they just give me time to relax and rock out to some good tunes on my ipod!

Another bit of news, I'm not sure if I can share yet because my dad is still showing it off to people, but I'm going to anyways! He has been talking about getting a new truck for years. We all gave him a hard time when he would say he was going to get one because he was all talk for so long. So when he told us that he bought a truck online, without even seeing it before, we were all a little skeptical, but low and behold... he finally did it! It was so worth the wait for this awesome truck though, so its good he waited it out!

Jarrett insisted on going to pick it up with my mom and dad, and they needed a ride up there so I volunteered! So here it is... 2010 Ford F150 Raptor:

It is basically the coolest truck I have ever seen. It has a built in GPS system with Sync which allows you to do so many cool things I could have never imagined! My dad is just like a kid in a candy store! Everyday I go over to their house he shows me another cool feature it has!
Lastly, in the anticipation of spring and good weather, we decided to start early and plant seeds in the house for our garden! I am so excited for summer so I can finally start eating some good fruits and vegetables! There is nothing like a straight from the vine tomato! I just hope the weather warms up quick because our plants are getting huge.

This year i decided to plant pots with lettuce and keep them on my back porch rather than in the garden, so that I can make plenty of salads this summer. My spinach is already getting so big, I think we are going to be able to eat it before too long!

So there you go...an update for those who were asking :) I know it is nothing too exciting or cool, but oh well!
