Yay Sun!!!

I am so glad it's finally getting warm around here. I've heard a few comments about how Spring sort of left us high and dry and we went straight to summer, but for now, you won't hear me complain. I mean, just look at my cute girl in her shirt dress! We had such a lovely weekend full of fun, playing, family and friends. A baby shower for my dear friend Jo and her 2nd baby girl, a birthday party for my brother, time with Grandma and lots of outside time. I am beyond thankful for such gifts :)


carrying her purses and so excited about it

she loves to put her blankie on this way-a sort of backwards cape :)




flowers! Daddy did an amazing job planting this weekend. Everything looks beautiful and we're going to have lettuce, tomatoes, peas and basil. Yummmmmmmmmm!






we got to spend time with Grandma and Olivia had such fun reading with her!




 Making face-washing fun for everyone!

 "come here" chickies! (Olivia always pats her legs to say "come here" to Clarence or any other animal. I'm telling you, kids are sponges!)

Mothers Day 2013

...your face will surely show it...

if you're happy and you know it say hooray!

loving the water in the garden center at lowes


yay for pictures with a smiling baby girl!


a happier mama there never was

I could write a thousand words about the love of a mother. About how I couldn't understand it's depth until sweet Olivia swept up my heart. About how I could never express my gratitude fully enough to my mom, her mom, my dad's mom. About how there is no way, in a million weekly or monthly blog posts I could explain how my heart beats in time to the rhythm of my daughter's every breath. For now, I won't try with words. They will float around in my heart for a while, words soaking up this meaning of life. One day I will try to put them down, so my sweet Olivia can get a glimpse. Until then, just look at those smiles. A picture is worth a thousands words.

Third (!) Cousins...and more

We've been having some fun lately! Olivia's 3rd cousin Kyler (and my 2nd cousin Colin and his wife Kerrie) came down last weekend to hang out. Kyler is 2 weeks younger than Olivia and it was a BLAST to see them together :)

An open letter to the school district

 So the plan for school this year, at the K-5 level, was pretty complicated to begin. (the plan was made after lots of meeting and planning ...
