M&M's turns 4!!

Happy Birthday to my baby boy M&Ms! I cannot believe that it's been 4 years already...four short years since I was blessed with the most imaginative, funny, happy, outgoing, active, smiley, sweet little boy!!

Today was full of excitement and fun as we hosted his birthday at the water park (one of his favorite places to go) with all his friends! The sun took its sweet time coming out, but when it arrived, it was a beautiful day!

After party time, we had another celebration with family at nana and papas house. Daddy made his favorite dinner, spaghetti, followed by cake, ice cream, and presents! By the time we got home, the poor birthday was tuckered out!

Happy Birthday, buddy! Mommy loves you so very much!

Kiss me, I'm Irish!

Yes, it's true...I am Irish! (Although, I'm not sure how much, but whos counting really?!) This St. Patrick's Day, I had a wonderful weekend away with my husband visiting some friends in Spokane, WA. It was our first "adult only weekend" since before M&M's was born and it was so much fun! We went out, partied, drank some good drinks, ate some good food, and had a wonderful time just being a couple instead of being mom and dad. Don't get me wrong, we love our kids more than anything but I am a firm believer in having couple time and time to just be us. Our wonderful friends were so generous and let us occupy their spare bedroom, and cooked both breakfast and dinner for all of us! Friends - we love you so very much, thank you for an excellent weekend!!!

How was your St. Patty's Day weekend?? Was the luck of the Irish with you?

Cheers friends!

Happy Birthday to ME

Another year older and another day to be reminded of how loved I am. I had a wonderful birthday filled with wonderful people and surprises! Happy Birthday to ME!

This is what I woke up to this morning...

This is what my desk looked like when I got to work...

These are the deliveries that I received...

And here is the accumulation of sweet cards I was given...

I feel so blessed, everyday, for those in my life but today, more than another day, I feel so overwhelmed by love, friendship, kindness, and joy that I feel so totally spoiled!!! I have the best friends and family in the whole world! Thank you everyone!!!

Weekend of celebrations

What a wonderful weekend I had! Saturday we celebrated my favorite nephew's 3rd birthday!! He had a pirate birthday with one of the most extravagant cakes I've seen and a really cool pirate balloon bouquet! Happy birthday little man!!

I also hosted a baby shower for one of my bestest friends in the whole world! It was so much fun planning and seeing it all come together! All the guests had a great time and everyone said it was a great party! She got some awesome gifts for her new baby boy. I am so excited, and I can't wait to meet him and hold him!!! Come on April 17th!!!

Today was the perfect ending to a busy but fun weekend...today was my baby brothers 16th birthday!!! I can't believe he is 16 already, it makes me feel so old! We started the day off bowling, then went to my parents house for some games and rest/relaxation. I went and bought the cake and then helped my mom make dinner. We had a wonderful dinner followed by cake and presents. Since my birthday is in Wednesday, we also celebrated my birthday! We both got spoiled with gifts!! I love my family so much, I couldn't imagine my life without them.

How was your weekend?

I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead of you.....CHEERS!
