Life Lately

Oh my goodness, as if I thought life couldn't get crazier, it does. This week, Brantley turned 10 months, and finally got teeth! Caidan finished 5th grade, we bought a house and we're selling our house! Phew! We are in the process of moving closer to everything! Family, friends, work and school. We love our house in Parker but we need more space for this ever growing family and we desperately needed a basement! It's amazing house much stuff one little baby can accumulate! We found a great house that we are currently under contract and move in July 14th! Brantley is 3 steps away from walking and he is a man on the move! Caidan will be in his last year at Lone Tree Elementary and then it's Middle School for this guy, my heart is breaking because I know he is growing up and needs me less and less:(

Anyways, such is life and we are a busy little family! Here is a recap in pictures!

Happy hump day! We are going to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day at the park!

Mother's Day

Better late than never! Our Mother's Day was everything short of perfect. We grilled with family even though it was a blizzard outside! This mother's day was especially one to remember because it was the first one I got to share with both of my boys, last year I was 30 weeks pregnant!  It is amazing how fast time flies and I can't believe how big both my kids are! I am truly blessed. Here is a highlight of our day in pictures!

Hope you all had a great day! 

Growing up is hard to do

Man oh man, time is going by too fast! Brantley is a crawling machine and I feel like walking is in his near future! Caidan walked at 10 months so I have no doubt that Brantley could be walking very soon! Caidan is finishing up his last couple games of the spring football season and then we will hear up for the fall! School is almost over for him which means summer is almost hear and I can see the pool in my near future! We went to Mexico this past weekend with Aaron's family and left the kiddos at home. It was a great trip but I sure did miss them. Mother's Day is this weekend and I can't wait to share it with my momma! She really is the best mom out there hands down! 

9 months!

Brantley is 9 months today and let me just tell you that I cannot believe that he is turning into a little man and no longer will be a baby:( He has mastered crawling and does speed crawling around the house! He pulls himself up on furniture and attempts to walk alongside it. He is full of loud noises but not too many words. He loves eating and is OVER baby food. He still had no teeth. He giggles at the dogs and Caidan. He likes playing in the dog food. He thinks its funny to throw his food on the floor and watch the dogs eat it. He loves bath time. He loves Baby Einstein. He wears mostly 12-18 month clothes. He loves his dad. And most of all he is a joy in our lives. 

Easter 2014

We had a great Easter and the weather was perfect! What a wonderful day it turned out to be! The boys opened their Easter baskets; Caidan was thrilled he got an iTunes card among other things and Brantley wanted to eat the grass. Needless to say I was just happy to be with my boys. Here is a recap of the weekend and the events, including a great football game! 

Hope you all had an amazing Easter!!!! Can't believe our little guy will be 9 months tomorrow! 

Favorites and life lately

Life has been so great lately! The weather is beautiful out and b and I have been enjoying playing in the grass out back. Spreaking of b, he decided that last week he would crawl and this week he would pull himself up on furniture. Needless to say he is busy growing and I'm just over here like where is my baby? 

 

He found out that Tupperware and spoons were in fact better toys than his actual toys. I remember playing with that same strainer when I was little. Thanks for the hand me down mom!

The dog is his best friend. He literally follows Charlie around grabbing his ears and getting a ton of kisses!

Most mornings after we eat we stare at the dogs and birds outside. I just can't get enough of this kid. Caidan is too cool for school these days, hence why most of my posts are about b rather then him. He's busy with football and video games. Typical 10 year old things. 

Ripping up paper towels or napkins or anything we can get our hands on is also a must!

I made banana muffins the other day and you can tell by his face he was not sure about them....

 

I ventured out to target today and about died when I found this amazing drink dispenser and adorable outfits for the little guy! Not to mention this adorable fedora! Talk about cuteness overload! I feel like I hit the jackpot this trip!

5 tips to spruce up your space for spring!

I put together this card to send out to my clients and thought I'd share it with you too! Spring is my second favorite season because everything starts to turn green and it means that we can spend more time outside! It also wants that we need to spruce up our homes and let the light in!! Here are 5 tips to spruce up your space for spring!

1. Pack away the dark and bring in the light! Replace heavy, dark drapery and linens for light, cool colored ones.

2. Bring in the outdoors! Place potted plants throughout the home to bring in soothing aromas and calming views.

3. Introduce new spring colors into your home! Aurora (yellow), Vibrant Green, Flame (red), Coral, Kelp (gray-green), Delft (blue), Begonia Pink, Sweet Lavender, Blue Turquoise and Slate Grey.

4. Rearrange your space to make the outside view a focal point! When rearranging your spaces, clean under furniture, dust shelves and touch up paint.

5. Get rid of clutter! Determine what items you need in each space, what you can pack away and what you can give away or donate! There are so many charities like the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America) who will take almost anything with the exception of big electronics! And you're helping someone in need! It's a win win! 

I hope this helps you spruce up your space this spring!
