Prep for baby


This weekend we went to Emili and Walt's house and painted the nursery. The top half is pink and the bottom half is brown. We aren't finished yet but it turned out really cute. We still have a darker brown strip to paint. It's starting to feel real that she is almost here. I can't wait to meet her!! Here are a few pictures from the day...Enjoy!








Emili couldn't be in the room helping us because of all the fumes. But she was so excited and snuck in occasional.

Spring!!

I would have to say that spring is one of my favorite seasons. Everything is just a millions times better, Clothes are brighter colors, I can pack away my bulky sweatshirts giving me more room in my closet, and something about it just makes me want to be a kid again. I have these urges to skip and play with sidewalk chalk. It's a blast! Any ways, today I thought I would go outside in the backyard and check out the poppy that is growing beautifully. As soon as I opened the door I was overwhelmed with the scent in the air. It was kind of a sweet smell. As I stepped further out into the yard I discovered what it was. Our plum tree was blossoming. It was so gorgeous with it's white little flowers up against the dark trunk and blue sky. I couldn't help but take a picture. I wish we had smell o vision because I can't even begin to describe the fragrance. When I got closer to the tree I noticed it was filled with bug. Well I thought they were wasps but it turns out it was filled with all different types of butterflies.  It was amazing. I hope it makes you smile.

Birthday Weekend

This weekend was busy. It was my mom and oldest sister's birthday. They aren't actually on the same day but they are close. We celebrate them together every year it seems.  My family all got together at our house and had a bbq and some delicious cake. All together it was a lovely weekend.  



There was dancing...well, to be honest, he was just walking.
The birthday girls.



They were so adorable I couldn't resist..
