st. patty's day



Hope your St. Patrick's day was filled with luck!

Parker and I both wore "green" to work/school today. And, I even got to go with my friend Melanie for a couple of hours tonight :) We went to this spot, right across the road from where we live. It was nice to catch up, our boys got to play...and when I got home Parker beamed with excitement as he said "Mommy - I had FUN tonight. Remember, sometimes you need mommy time, right?". Love that boy!

sleepover at GK



Here's a quick photo from the weekend - Kels & Parker making some muffins on Saturday morning. So cute! We had a great time. Kels & I spent almost 3 hours having lunch with our cousin Kelly. It was long overdue, and AMAZING to spend time together and be with family. Love you guys!

Graham took Parker to the Deer Classic while us girls were out having fun. He's such a trooper and goes along with WHATEVER he has to do - love that about you GR! And *thanks* again for taking the munchkin. From what Parker tells me - there were deer, 4-wheelers, and "I caught only one fish". I enjoy that these memories we are making will last a lifetime.

We spent the day on Sunday at home cleaning out the toy room. What a project! And spent some much needed time outside playing. I forget how "low" to the ground I have to get to play the hockey golie!

Notice the enhancement to my photo above? I'm dabbling into the digital world of scrapbooking a bit and absolutley love it - I think I am finding my passion :)

Back to bed, yelled Ted.
Back to bed, yelled Fred.
...that book is a new favorite at our house! And it's just where I am off to :)

new computer

Finaly...we have it! It's been a *long* wait :) Parker and I made a trip to Best Buy tonight and are loving our new computer! This was the first site he asked to visit - and played Super Why. I sat next to him and was amazed at how he just zoomed around and knew where to go and what to press. And not to mention how AWESOME he is at his letters. Oh, big news: Parker writes his own name now! It's been a pretty big deal around here lately. He is growing up WAY too fast! He will be 4 in a month. Yikes!

We are going to the cities tomorrow night to have a sleepover at Graham + Kellsey's and then meet our cousin Kelly for lunch on Saturday. Parker and GR and going to do some quality bonding time while the girls meet up. I'm looking forward to it!

Hoping to post some new photos soon...now I really have NO excuse not to post more often because we have a new friend at our house. His name is Toshiba :)

Marching into spring :)

It's March - yipppee! Parker and I have been BUSY this week. He is working on the letter L at school. Dispite the meltdown yesterday morning to bring something for share day, we are both doing wonderful!!!

We are heading to the cities on Saturday morning for my cousin Kelly's baby shower. She is one of the cutest pregnant mommies I know :)

Kels + Graham are in sunny Cabo San Lucas - and I'm jealous! Although, I was promised a stay-home present (he he he). Can't wait for them to get home. We have a list of some things to get planned for the wedding - and I need to get going on the shower + bachelorette party.

I have fallen in love with a new website - as you will notice my new header and background. If you haven't checked it out already...you should! www.houseof3.com. It's absolutely AMAZING! These are by far 3 of my favorite artists in this industry. Now I have an excuse to do even more scrapbooking. Which by the way, I made a resolution to start posting more of my work. I need to get on that!

Spring is just around the corner! I ordered Parker his summer gear the other day - he'll be sporting Orange crocks this year and a handful of some super cute gear from Old Navy. Gotta love finding the deals!

I started off the season with an adorable pair of peep toe print heels and am wearing them today ;) Aren't they cute?!!! http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/415846?wid=230&hei=230&op_sharpen=1
