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. 🙂
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…
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…

It’s Friday and guess what?! Everyone seems to finally be healthy again over here (knock on wood) and my dizziness and nausea have finally, finally seemed to have gone away – thank goodness.

It’s Friday! Time to party – linky party, that is! Let’s get to it! {one} Little Miss. Eliza has recently added a couple of new items to her closet. Here she is sporting her new Matilda Jane dress/tunic! I must say, I’m a Matilda Jane fan for sure – I may need to host a…

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!

This is one of the reasons why I'd love to move in to my Lake country house!
