Computer & Birthday Girl..

My computer is officially broken for good!!!!  Sadly not sure when we will ever be getting a new one... so I am going to have to work harder at getting on Daddy's computer to keep the blog updated...

But that is why we have been down again!!!

Today is Pink Bean's 4th Birthday!  It is amazing how fast time has gone and to think that our little girl is 4 - just blows my mind.  I just want to keep her little forever!!!

 I loved her face in these pictures - she has been bagging for a big horse - so I am not sure why she was SOOO surprised to get one... but she just couldn't shut her mouth... she was in shock!!!



Pink Bean & Her Puppy....

We took Nana to Amish County for a little one night vacation away from home.  We eat out, spent the night in a little cottage and spent the next day taste testing cheese, chocolate & shopping around.  .... oh and I forgot the most important - Pink Bean & A Puppy!

Eating at the Farm Stead...

Now for most of you that really know me... I am NOT a dog fan - IN any way shape or form!  My lovely Pink Bean is in LOVE with dogs and begs for one every day.  We told her that when we went on vacation we would go to a puppy farm and she could hold a puppy.  We did inform her that we were NOT going to buy one - we were just going to hold them.  She was THRILLED to say the least and could have spent all week here!

She slowly looked at all the puppies... and then...

She found the "ONE" she wanted to hold...

These pictures are a little blurry... But I think you will

still be able to see the excitement from 

Pink Bean and the Dog!

The little "Girl" puppy wouldn't stop licking Pink Beans face... and even though I was ready to throw up... she was LOVING every second of it and couldn't stop giggling!!!

We left with only a few tears... but she did pretty good and really enjoyed her time with the puppy..

We finished up the afternoon with eating at another Amish Restaurant and then made our way home.

........ BOY.......

 We will be having a baby boy in June 

and we decided to tell thru some

cupcakes filled with blue frosting.

 Pink Bean was a little sad that it wasn't filled with PINK

But she is still excited to get a new baby in the house...

 Gpa & Gma H. cutting into the cupcake..

The Ingolds put there guess on a paper and then they had to wait until

daddy came home from work to cut into the cupcake... 

such a great idea!!!!

We are very excited that everything is going ok with this baby that will be here in June.  It always makes our hearts skip a beat when we go to our appointment - But we are beyond thankful that everything is going well and there are no problems with the baby or pregnancy.
