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. 🙂
Heeeeey let’s do this Five on Friday thang (even though it’s Saturday)! 😉 We had my twenty week ultrasound yesterday! We’re not finding out the gender – we didn’t find out with Henry and Eliza either and we loved the surprise, but I’ve got to say, it’s been more difficult this time around. I sooooo…
Here we are again! Another wonderful week and another wonderful weekend ahead! This week was definitely a fun one, but – wowza – on Thursday I was a Halloween Mombie. No, I didn’t get dressed up the day after Halloween or anything like that. I was just 100% tapped out of any and all energy….
Wow! You guys, I’m waaaay behind with my blogging and my blog reading. Where-oh-where have these last few weeks gone? I mean, I know I was sick somewhere in there, but man – I feel like it was Thanksgiving, then BAM! Here we are. Okay, okay – put on my girl pants and deal with…
Happy FRIDAY! Time to link up for some Five on Friday fun! This shower curtain! So, we’re in the middle of a mini bathroom reno. The kids’ bathroom/guest bathroom has desperately needed a new vanity for a year or two now. Apparently the sleek, lack of countertop or storage vanity that Jon and I picked…
It’s Friday and, wow, has it been a busy week! Every evening during this past week I’ve been out and about; Little Ninjas, Girls Night, Dance Class, Wonder Night for Eliza’s school and tonight is our Homecoming! But, it doesn’t stop there – tomorrow we’re heading over to a friend’s house for a fun fall gathering….
It’s Friday and I’m ready to paaaaaaarty – link-up party, that is! 😉 Here we go with some Five on Friday fun! Bump Update! I feel like I should be doing these more often. Hmm… Anyway, here I am – just about to turn 22 weeks this weekend! My skin is itchy (something I had…

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)

The glasses are adorable!!! Seriously can't get enough. And I'm jealous of boating season already beginning for you!
Thanks, Brittany!
We love us some boat time! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

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!
