Dinner tonite. White brats and sauerkraut, simmered in beer, naturally.

This was one of those days where I ended up with a few photos and it is so difficult for me to choose just one. They all were a small part of our day, so I gave Oliver the task of choosing. He did not hesitate one bit...and this one won easily. His reasoning?

"Because I look like a REAL chef!"

Reason enough for me.

Spent some time in the backyard this afternoon. The sun was going down and cast nice light on the wall decor on our back porch. I liked the texture of the netting.

After nearly a week of rain, the weather finally lets up. The temperature was like a cool, spring day. Oliver wanted to go to the park, so we loaded up that car and drove to Oliver's favorite one, what we call "the Chipmunk Park." We even took Skippie along with us so she could have her daily walk in a new place. She LOVED all the new smells. This is just a shot of Oliver hugging his favorite girl. After Skippie had her fun, we put her in the car (don't worry, it was cool enough) and I let Oliver play on the slides for a short bit.

After a week of dreary skies, the rain lets up, and a giant puddle stands in the middle of the gazebo. Oliver is dressed and ready for pre-k, but in the 5 minutes we had before leaving, I managed to catch a shot of him puddle-stompin'!

I have no idea what DS stands for on this game, I only know that it truly comes in handy on many occasions, including long waits in the doctor's office. Funny how 365 makes you look at things you've seen dozens of times in a more interesting light. I found myself looking at the office for something I could photograph. I was sitting at a lower level and the opportunity presented itself to me.

With the rain continuing to fall, the house too gloomy, I looked out on the back porch tonite for something to take a picture of...the shadow of the bigwheel looked kind of interesting. The light falling onto the back porch had a lovely glow.

Another rainy one, a good day to take the little one and the doggie for a drive through Red Rock Canyon. The clouds hung low across the desert and made for an eerie but beautiful landscape.
