It is warming up...

...and we have been able to go out and about for some walks.

Last weekend I decide to brave it by myself -- meaning, I took a walk with Eva and the pugs...no small feat!!

We walked to the park that is about a block away from us, around the park, over the bridge and along the river to the house where the residents feed the ducks. These people have a farm feeder for chickens in their backyard that borders the river. Eva and Mot liked watching the ducks! And then we wound around the neighborhood back home. It was a great hour in the sun with my 3 kids!!

Mot is so photogenic!

Peanut gets tired pretty easily...good thing she can catch a ride!

Eva was having a great time!!! All smiles!

It was a long walk...so long that Mot needed to catch a ride too!

Gramma has been taking Eva on daily walks too...here is one of her pics!

My 2 Front Teeth

I would like to post a blog here about my daughter's shiny, new additions...aka, her 1st, 2nd and 3rd teeth.

However, the stubborn little thing refuses to show them to anyone! We get a glimpse every once in awhile when she is chewing on her spoon and I feel them when she bites down on my finger, but that it is about it.

So until she is willing to give up the goods...don't expect any pictures of the pearly whites!!!!

Happy Belated Birthday to...

...my Brother in Law Brian!!!

Sorry I am late with the post! We hope you had a great day! Can't wait to see you in May!!

St. Patrick's Day...my favorite day of the year...

...I love, love, love St. Patrick's day! I am not 100% Irish, but I fully embrace what little Irish blood I do have. My name is Erin afterall -- which means "Ireland" of course. It has forever been my dream to go to Ireland. I am still dreaming!!

This past weekend we had a little taste of the Emerald Isle when we took Eva to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Downtown Denver. We dolled up the baby in her best green attire and headed downtown, found a great spot near Coors Field and enjoyed the sights. Granted, it was 10 am and there were drunken folks wandering around the streets ...must have been tapping into the green beer already, but for the most part, it was good clean fun--a beautiful day, some bagpipes and Celtic dancers! So much fun!!!

It ain't a parade without a pug!

...and for all inquiring minds, next year for St. Patrick's Day, instead of going to the parade, we will be getting MARRIED!!!

Happy Birthday Little Man!!!

Happy Birthday to Motley from his Daddy.

Oh, all the memories we have with this little guy. Hard to believe this cute little pug is now 5 years old!!!!

My boy is the biggest trooper, and easily the best companion I could ever ask for. In these past 5 years, he has lived in 3 states, twice as many apartments, and numerous long distance drives all over the Western U.S.

Without getting too lengthy, I simply want to say "I love you Mot! There have been times when you were my rock and my driving force, when you never even knew it. Unconditional love is personified with you and I love you forever. Happy Birthday Little Man."

When asked for comment, Motley simply said...."Duh! Winning!!"
