House Projects

We just had our landscaping done in the front yard and we are so happy with it!!! We put in new shrubs, hydrangeas, flowers and a magnolia tree. We also replaced some of the sod. Kyle and I painted the shutters. Thanks again Kyle! Here are some before and after pictures. Double click on them to enlarge and press esc to go back.

Book Club and Brunch

For those of you who don't know, I started a book club about a year and a half ago. We meet once a month and talk about the book for about five minutes. It is really just an excuse to drink, eat and gossip with the girls! We have read some really great books though. The favorites so far have been The Help and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (and the other two).

Our newest little book club member Theodore. He is too cute!

Chris, Nate and my dad were in town for the final four so we all got together for brunch at my house. I loved seeing them!

Nate was so good with Charlotte!

I couldn't resist a couple Charlotte pics.

Her newest face........ the cheesy smile!

Bitter Sweet Trip Home

Charlotte and I flew to Phoenix for my uncle Jerry's funeral. We are all so sad about his passing but glad that he is no longer in pain. Jerry was a wonderful man and will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was always happy and always willing to lend a helping hand. Although I wish I was home under different circumstances, it was very nice to see family and friends. I think I have the best family and I just love them all so much! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Go Jake!

High school friends.

Poor Jake, Charlotte spit up on his head just before school. It gave me a good laugh though!

We watched a movie outside at the Monte Lucia Resort. The movie was Roman Holiday and we ordered wine, food and a chocolate martini. We were all cozy under a blanket and had so much fun! Thanks for setting that up Lisa!

Random Pictures

Charlotte is 8 months old now. She says "mama, dada and baba." She just started crawling and pulling herself up on things to stand.

Here is little Charlotte bug at the pool for the first time.

And she's off!

Drew and I just celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary! I can not tell you how blessed I am. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful, funny, hard working and handsome husband. Life just keeps getting better especially with our new little addition! Seeing Drew with her just melts my heart! Can't wait for many more years to come!
