Garden

Instead of planting in pots this year, I did a flower garden.. Like I planted a lot of heirloom seeds!  So next year, I'm sure it will be great.  This year, its alittle bit sad...  I did plant a few flowers that have already bloomed so I could have some color in there... 

  But its a little more depressing than it has been before...  But there is alot of green!  So there is hope!  We all need alittle hope sometimes right?  We still have to do more.. like edging and mulch and it will look so much better after all that. 

This gem of a bird bath has my favorite little guys foot prints as a butterfly my amazing momma made me for mothers day!  I love every part of it. 

And veggie are all coming up great!!  I can't wait until they are ready to eat!!!!  Love fresh veggies!! 

A boy and his Best Buddy in the whole world!

 There is nothing quite like a father and son bond!!  These two have my heart...  Z calls his daddy his best buddy in the whole world!!

 

I really don't know what I would do without them...  They bring so much joy and light to my world.. and I see so much of daddy in Z.    

First camp "out" of the year

We LOVE being outside.  Love getting away and sitting by a camp fire.  I was raised camping and I love that my husband also enjoys it.  But really whats not to love...  Sitting around a fire looking at the stars and talking to friends is one of the most relaxing things in life. 

It was so nice out over the weekend.  The plan was to actually go camping somewhere, but we need to add a hitch to our van.. and the store couldn't get the part in on time.. so we just set up the camper in our back yard.  The weather was amazing the whole weekend.  Over the winter.. some mice got into our camper.. and made their home there... ate all the curtains-so dirty.  

So there was a lot of prep to get to this weekend.. Cleaning, shampooing, sewing, lots of sewing.  But it was worth it.  And the new curtains look pretty good if I don't say so myself!

We even were lucky enough to have some friends come out to our "campsite"  It was fun having them out there!

And of course there were hot dogs and smores!!

It was a lot of fun.. And some very welcome family time!

It was fun.. but a pretty exhausting weekend full of late nights and early mornings. 

I think we are still recovering a little bit from the lack of sleep.. But it was wonderful!  I hope we get to go out a lot this summer! 

My goodness.. I havn't posted in forever.

I happened to look back at my blog because someone asked if anyone had done the cotton ball smashing thing we did a few years back.  I knew I had pictures of it, so I looked at my blog...  I realized how much I enjoy being able to look back!  So I think I'm in a place I can start blogging again.  I'll start with a quick update.  Z is 4... 4 years old!!  It is crazy to think I started writing before he was born.  He is amazing.  Funny, a class clown already, spicy, but a little lover.  He has such a great heart.  And for the most part he is super healthy.  That's a big change if you look back on the blog.  I whole heartly think it is because we changed how we looked at health. We use DoTerra oils.  I love them.  They changed so much about our lives.  We use them daily!



About me.  I've had more miscarriages.  I've had testing done and we found out a few things-which is good.  I've lost about 65 lbs.  Exercise and diet.  I'm finally moving out of a very dark depression I was in.  I am blessed with some amazing family and friends. 

So thats us!  :)
