Kiley just came up to me, gave me a hug, and said, "We're best friends, Mama." How cute is that?!

The Best Mother's Day Gift Ever!!!
Here's a picture of Ryan and Bailey relaxing on the loveseat in the office several hours after they were reunited:
After Ryan returned from Iraq, Bailey was never the same towards him as he was before. Ryan would struggle just to get Bailey to come near him to pet him. So, when I see this picture, it makes me wonder what he went through for 2 days on his own.

Caching, Tea, and Silly String!
So, today officially kicked off what I will call my "birthday weekend" even though it's not until Monday. I had a day packed full of fun with just my mom. This morning we headed to Citrus Heights (in the steady rain) to our first ever flash mob geocaching event. I've never seen so much silly string before! Too bad there weren't any muggles around to witness the whole thing!
Aftermath:
It seemed to be over in a blink of an eye, but it was unforgettable! We found a couple of caches in the same park with geo-friends from Folsom and some on our own. Soon we headed back toward our house to change into our nice clothes for afternoon tea. The warm tea and yummy food was perfect for a day like today. After chit-chatting over full-bellies, we made our way back to the house again to change for more geocaching. We managed to find 3 more in the never-ending rain. It was a great time and very memorable, even if does mean I'm one year closer to 30. :o)

Easter Basket, Egg Hunt & Mr. Quail
I'm so glad that Kiley is getting to that age where she can kind of comprehend the idea of a holiday such as Easter. She was enthralled with the idea of the Easter Bunny and was excited that he was going to visit out house and Grandma's house. My mom spoils her rotten, but isn't that what Grandmas are supposed to do? She loved her Easter Baskets (yes, she got more than one!) and the egg hunt later on. Here's a few pics from earlier today:

Happy Easter!
Here's a picture of Kiley with the Easter Bunny a couple of weeks ago when the weather was a lot nicer!

We are officially potty training!!!
After our last post and receiving a free DVD from Huggies about potty training, we (or more like I) decided it was time to start. So, Kiley has been diaper free since the evening of Thursday, February 26th. We've had 2 successful potties and 1 successful poop in 3 days. It's taking a little bit of time for Kiley to get use to sitting on the potty chair without pants or a diaper, but she's coming along. Our little girl is growing up so fast!
