We’ve had an exciting week over here. Lots of fun stuff! Let’s get to it.
{ONE} Earlier in the week I blogged about a couple of diy projects. I made a cedar shim sunburst mirror and I made a fake plant look real. Both were fun, easy and inexpensive. You can read more about both projects here.

This boy.
He may have to start wearing these glasses all the time due to the “adorable-ness” factor!

Speaking of Henry, he did something amazing this week. I know, I know…this is another #proudmamamoment, but I must brag about him. Besides, this could possibly not happen again for another year! You just never know with kids. LOL!
So, Henry likes to make books by using a stapler (with Mama close by, of course) and then he likes to draw/write on the inside and the outside of the “book.”
He handed me a bag and told me to unwrap it (he insists that I “unwrap” everything by using scissors to carefully cut it open). When I opened it, this is what I found!
Look.what.he.did!
The inside of the book is a roller coaster, obviously. 😉
He nonchalantly told me that he knows how to draw an M and an O now, so he wrote MOM. Really kid?! I guess their brains really are sponges.
That moment totally fell into the top 10 most memorable moments with/of him.
So proud, so proud… 🙂

We went to our nephew’s first birthday party over the weekend. The weather was gorgeous and the kids had a blast! Eliza loved playing on the swing set and running over to check on the pony! I love watching her play – so much sweetness.
Oh and my brother’s house is surrounded by these wind turbines. They’re always cool to see, not to mention the fact that Henry was thoroughly entertained for miles and miles! Very cool.

The boat is in!
Bring it, summer!
This picture was taken after our first boat ride of the year! The kids loved it and they were soooo well-behaved.
Now we just need warmer weather!
Thanks for stopping by! I sure do appreciate it. 🙂
Happiest Friday of Fridays! Put on your party hats, people. ‘Cause it’s time to paaaaaartay! Let’s get started… {one} We’re headed to an indoor waterpark soon and I’ve yet to purchase swim suits! These are some of my favorites. Help a girl out and tell me which ones I should order…I just can’t decide –…
Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. 🙂 I thought I’d be a little different for this Five on Friday. The kids and I recently ventured out of town to head to some of the best stores ever in the history of….ummm…ever – Target, TJMaxx, Hobby Lobby, Bed Bath and Beyond, Michael’s,…
Happy Friday! We had a rough start to the week over here. Being a parent isn’t easy. Fortunately, there are ways to remedy tough parenting days. One word: wine. Last night, while at the grocery store, I had an amazing idea to buy a bottle of wine and enjoy some vino while painting our…
Soooo…it’s been quite some time since I posted a little update with our life happenings. Honestly, I’ve been working on this blog post for about three weeks. THREE WEEKS, you guys – but I never made it past my first two “favorites.” This little post has been sitting here with only three pictures, so the…
It’s that time again! Time for Five on Friday (a day late)! I can’t tell you how excited I am for it to be the weekend. I was sick all week and it.was.rough. I’m hoping to give my body what it needs this weekend, lots of rest and relaxation. Even though this past week was…
We made it to Fri-yay! Was that a long week for anyone else? It was our first week back since before Christmas and I was NOT ready to trade in my pajamas and slow mornings for jam-packed schedules and rushed mornings. I told Jon on Sunday that I felt like we were driving away from…

Thanks for the comment on my blog— I LOVE your diy mirror!!! I want to try that because it turned out fabulous. Love your blog!
Ooooooh I'm jealous of that boat! Growing up in Texas we lived on the lake, such a blast. Colorado has a lot, but not lakes! Happy weekend Marie :). Hopped over from the link up!
I loooove Henry's art! Isn't that just the most amazing thing watching your kids learn and grow?? I swear sometimes Jacob will do something and I look at it like he's invented the wheel or something! LOL.
P.S. I'm LOVING your new blog header! It looks fantastic, and polka dots are my favorite :o)

I absolutely love the mirror! Great job! And your sweet boy is too cute!
LOL! You're so sweet and yes – it's totally like they invented the wheel!
Thanks so much! 🙂
This is one of the reasons why I'd love to move in to my Lake country house!
