Saturday

Yesterday Bryan and I worked in the yard. We planted these celosia (my 2nd favorite flower…ranaculas being my favorite). They are so bright and happy I wanted to share them with you..

 
How did you spend your Saturday?

Thanks Megan!

Hudson’s cousin Megan gave him this shirt as a “birthday” present when she was visiting in June, I am so excited that he can fit into it now! It is a little shirt by junk food with star wars images on it! Doesn’t it look cute with his new white cargos? 
Thanks Megan!

Goodbye Beijing! Hello London!

Well, the Olympics are over. I am quite sad. This was a great Olympics, there are just too many exciting moments to mention. One thing that I enjoyed about these games was the host country. With all the controversy surrounding these games, I really had low expectations (thanks to the media). However from the very [...]

Why I love the olympics!

I love the Olympics because they are going to do away with a legitimate sport like softball but keep synchronized swimming! 
(don’t get me wrong, not that I don’t think synchronized swimming is a sport, but you know what I mean.)
I love it!! I can’t wait for the team competition!!

0-3 months!

Well…Hudson is now 7 weeks old and he can finally wear his “0-3 month” old clothing!! This is so exciting for 3 reasons:
1. He is growing!
2. It is hard to find newborn clothes that are cute.
3. He can finally wear some of the clothes I purchased for him while I was pregnant and have been [...]

Oats

Do you remember your comfort animal or blanket that you had when you were a child? Mine was a little doll with yarn hair that I called Madeline. Bryan’s was a Paddington Bear that he called Paddy. We got Hudson this little puppy dog that we are going to call Oats. (long story) We are [...]

I love the Olympics!!

Last night we watched the opening ceremony with my mom, dad, sister and Jacob. It was by far one of the best opening ceremonies I have ever seen! It was the perfect way to kick off the next 17 days. I have always been quite a fan of the olympics. My dad took me to [...]
