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. 🙂
You guys, I’m soooo behind on all-things-blogging. We’ve have a busy summer over here, that’s for sure. And now our kids head back to school in a little over two weeks and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. One part of me is all sad and I’m SURE there will be some…
This post contains affiliate links. It’s Friday and once Henry is out of school for the day our spring break will officially begin. Oh man…I NEED this break…the kids NEED this break. I seriously can’t wait! Being that it’s Friday also means that I get to share with you my Friday Favorites. Let’s go! {one}…
Happy Friday, friends! It’s my birthday -WOOT WOOT – and I’m proud to admit that I brushed my hair today! Can I get an, “Oh, yeah!” Today, I’m linking up for Five on Friday, as well as mine and Sara’s monthly, goal-oriented, link up, The Monthly Meet Up. It’s all about some quick snippets into…
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….
Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week. Our week was a tad looong. Both kids have been sick, sick, sick, but they seem to be feeling much better today….finally. 🙂 Jon and I are so happy to have our wild, little kiddos running around the house again! Let’s get to…
Friday has arrived and boy-oh-boy the weekend seems to be heading in an interesting direction. The weather guy is calling for 3-5 inches of snow here on Saturday! I think I’m ready…I think… By this time last year, it was so, so, soooo cold. It’s been an absolutely stunning fall, so I’m willing to compromise…

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!
