For the Love of Summer

Oh my amazing husband! Isn't this just beautiful! I can't wait to plant my star jasmine and let it grow all over this. Tharren and I wanted to get a trellis to go over the gate from our front yard to our garden but they are so expensive. So Tharren decided to build one. I am not going to lie, I was a little nervous and some what skeptical. But Tharren has proved himself once again. Yet another reason I am so blessed to be married to such an amazing man!

Now on to our little gardener. This sweet boy just loves, loves, loves to be outside. I thought I would never have a child that loved being outside more than Wyatt, but I fear Weston has out done his brother. These two are going to be such brown berries by the end of summer, we are outside from sun up to sun down and I wouldn't have it any other way! Oh, how I love summer!

Fire pit = $4 (garage sale find)
Stuff to make s'mores = $9
A perfect night like this spent with my boys = PRICELESS!

Best Buddies

This is Wyatt's best buddy Reed. These two are so cute together, they always do and want what the other has. I could watch them together all day!

I am so in love!
This is such a natural picture of Wyatt, in my mind this is exactly how I see him. Happy and a little mischievous.

Soccer

We found a little soccer class for Wyatt. He is in heaven! It is once a week for an hour and Wyatt wishes it was every day. Tharren decked him out with shin guards and all, totally unnecessary but too cute! Wyatt was so happy, and you have never seen prouder parents, we took him out to lunch, dinner and ice cream to celebrate him momentous day. OK, soccer was just the excuse for all the excessive eating out but we really are so proud, our little boy is growing up!

Getting Out

Tharren had a random Wednesday off this week so we took full advantage! Tharren played golf in the morning, then we went hiking at Holly Rec with beautiful lakes and lots of Spring colors. After we worked up our appetites we went to our favorite mexican place and ate to our hearts content. Not a bad way to spend a day off!

A Potato Bath

Weston's new favorite thing is mashing all of his food into his hair. It doesn't matter what it is, it just must go into his hair. It started out funny, Weston loves to get a reaction out of his brother...

It then got intense, lots of potatoes being mashed...

Then it made for some crazy hair...

In the end it was just too much, my sweet sensitive boy!

I just learned how to do this cool technique in my creative memories program. I am going to have fun with this! Aren't these cool? I love it that I can change any background to a cute paper!

A Day Off

I don't even know when the last time was that Tharren had a true day off, not just a post call day off. I have forgotten how glorious those days are! We went to the Farmer's market and got some wonderful plants to put in our garden, went out to lunch, napped and were just together as a family, HEAVEN! I couldn't resist these cute sleeping boys. Tharren asked when he woke up, "were you taking pictures of me?" Of course! This moment was too precious not to capture.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

We had a fun little Cinco De Mayo party with our friends. We even had a pinata, the kids loved it! The food was amazing and I think I gained five pounds, but it was oh so good

Flowers in our yard

I am just loving Spring, I can't get enough of these flowers!

What we have been up to

Aside from being sick for about 10 days here is a little of what we have been upto. First of all isn't Spring glorious! We have been outside as much as possible. Wyatt loves to dig for worms and has to show me every one he finds! He likes to make up names for them and put them into families. Almost everyday we have to hear about all of his "friends" who are worms. Tharren is building us raised beds for our, much enlarged, garden. I really don't know what we are going to do with all the space, we will be sharing alot of veggies with our friends. But I love that Tharren is so into gardening and is so excited about his new project. Weston still isn't walking on his own but loves to hold hands and walk everywhere. Wyatt loves helping him do this. I am loving watching my boys become better friends and laugh together.
