Bucket List progress

Remember my bucket list for 2013? I have some progress to report

• Pay off the minivan (hoping for a good tax refund!)
• Obtain an animal, cat or dog
• See the new elephant exhibit at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
• Play with friends more
• Go camping at least 5 times
• Go hiking at least 10 times
• Go to the top of Pikes Peak either by driving or by the cog railway
• See my Dad
• McBride family reunion!
• Yes, I would like to lose weight...

I'd say that since it's only April, being able to cross off FOUR things from my list already is awesome!

I don't have any pictures of paying off my minivan, or of the elephant exhibit (oops!)

BUT, I did get to see my dad for the first time in about 2 1/2 years while I was visiting Valerie in Phoenix for Emma's baptism. 

I just had to take this picture of all of Valerie's kids with their bikes upside down pretending they were making ice cream. This is something we would do as kids and she has passed it onto them. Kyle is the best at making pretend ice cream!

Now for some photo-ops!

Me and Valerie

Dad and his girls

Mom and her girls

It's too bad Kevin couldn't make it, or we would have all been together for the first time in 6 years! But now we've all had the chance to be together at some point or another since we've been back from Korea.

And here's the special girl on her baptism day. It was a wonderful baptism and I was so glad to be there!

Now you may have noticed that another bucket list item was crossed off; getting a dog. Stay tuned for my next post!
