happy friday!




{had not realized the azaleas would be in bloom when the first batch was taken, hence the casual and overly busy tshirt, which I love, but does not really work for a photo session in front of BRIGHT pink...so we went back for round two, in white}






Wow. That was a lot more pink than you usually see on this blog.

this week

I guess it's been a few days since I posted, because I have lots of pictures to share! We have had a fun week, and as you can see, most of it has been spent outside. We love spring around here. It has gotten to the point where if I open the door {like to feed our street cat or get the mail} but I don't take Will outside, he will start crying because he wants to play outside! So here's what we've been up to.

Mimi and Duke got a new swing, and Will loves it! Will is a huge fan of the swing at our house, but unfortunately, we don't have a great tree to hang it in. So our swing, while fun, is somewhat precariously balanced on a branch that is too skinny. The small branch was fine when Will was smaller, but I'm thinking we're going to need to find a way to hang it in the tree in the front yard. Too bad those branches are like 2 stories high. Hmmm.. Anyway, here is Will swinging:


he was all about sticking his tongue out that day

Then we had a little early birthday celebration for Matt's 30th.

And Will had fun playing with Duke.

Then on Monday, we celebrated Matt's actual birthday. Happy 30th, Matt!! We love you!

We started with birthday blueberry pancakes.

Blueberries are Will's favorite, but he wasn't expecting them in the pancakes!

We had some cake.

And Matt got some new cowboy boots!
{excuse the all red outfit. apparently it's laundry time around here...}

On Tuesday, my mom got to go to the arboretum for a field trip with her kids at Moss Haven. You know we don't pass up an arboretum trip, so we met up with them and had a blast!

We loved hanging out with Ben and Chase!

And then yesterday, we went back to the arboretum with Madison, Jennifer, and some of their friends. It was very fun, and Will loved playing with Madison.




Will wishing he was big enough to dangle his hands in the water...

Hey, Madison! Gotcha!

Madison isn't so sure...



What a fun week!!

spring break and birthday fun!

Spring break is fun!





We love that Mimi was off for a week!



And so was Nana!


And it was Saint Patrick's Day too!

We also made some hats and had a photo session with one that I made in a larger size.

{I love my hat model!}




And then we got to go celebrate Madison's birthday!!



Will absolutely had a blast at Pump It Up Jr.
We may have found a future birthday party spot for this guy!

{I had fun too!}

Thanks for inviting us to your party, Madison.
It was the perfect way to end a very fun week!
