Yesterday we asked Sarah Grace to clean up her books. They were all over her room, which is pretty common. She loves sitting down and reading. Anyway, we didn't pay much attention to the cleaning part and later discovered her way of "cleaning" up her books!
I thought I would take a few pictures of the progress that is being made on our patio. I also thought Sarah Grace would be a great model for me. They've put up the inside of the fence and painted it, now we just need the outside and a gate. But for the most part I feel I have some privacy when I'm in the kitchen. I'm pretty anxious for them to finish, I'd really like to start working on our garden, but its pretty pointless at this point. Anything we plant would just get smashed! I'll post pics of the patio when its finished and maybe of the garden too. We've had some nice warm weather recently and at the end of this week its supposed to be 80. Ahhhh spring you are finally here and I'm so grateful, I'll even take the hail and tornadoes you bring! Isn't Sarah Grace just adorable?! We like her!
Just purchased this little beauty from qadesign over the weekend. I can't wait for her arrival!
So... since Conference and Easter fall on the same weekend, does Sarah Grace wear her Easter dress the sunday before or the sunday after Easter? I know... these difficult decisions keep me up all night!
I just bought several of these little beauties. I saw them and it was love at first sight. They are so simple and bright. Oh my heart is fluttering just thinking about them. The spring air is amazing right now, windows are open, breezes are flowing through the house and Eric's allergies are going crazy. Don't you just love the spring? (Eric is not so fond) I'm so excited to plant my little English Daisies!
This was the view outside our balcony. I'm not quite sure what hole we were on, but the place was really cool!
Sorry, I was just rereading what I just finished typing and it honestly sounds like a 5th grader put it together. It's difficult trying to think and listen to Go Diego Go in the background. haha Oh and if you see a difference in the color and saturation of my pictures its because I was shooting in Manual and not doing much adjusting in between shots. I refuse to use anything but, I figure its the only way I'm going to learn. Sorry.
The past few weeks Eric & I have been watching for decently priced airfare. Sarah Grace is two now so we have to pay for her and let me tell you, it makes a huge difference! This morning I got up to just "check" and found the best deal so far, after about 5 phone calls I went ahead and purchased them. Yay! We'll be in Utah June 3rd-13th, we are extremely excited to go and see all of our friends and family! I would also like to thank Laurel and CJ for getting engaged. This has been the motivation I have been looking for. Trust me, I will DEFINITELY be in the gym now! haha I have another wedding that we're going to in May (Sarah Grace is the flower girl...I know, what were they thinking right?haha) so I'm working my butt of (literally) and now venturing out for some wedding attire. My spring wardrobe is really lacking...Anyway congrats yall and we are super stoked!
Have yall tried these yet? Oh my, its like eating a little piece of heaven. Eric & I bought some saturday night and between us and my family the box was empty the next morning. Yes, they are that delicious. If you like lemon flavored cookies you should definitely try these, they even have a yummy layer of frosting on the bottom. In other news, I tried loading all of my beach pictures and our internet is running super slow tonight. Therefore we are still beachless on this blog.
I often find it slightly depressing looking at other blogs. Some people are so creative and I honestly waste hours going through their blogs. Ohhhhhh, wo is me, if I were only computer savvy. Maybe someday right? Until then you have to deal with my blah layout. sorry. I got my hair cut today. I'm on a yearly schedule with those...seriously, once a year I get my hair cut. You may think thats gross, but my stylist today even said that I only needed an inch trimmed off. I suppose your hair needs less work if you rarely put a blow dryer to it and straighten it maybe once a month. I do however hack at my bangs all the time. My stylist did a pretty good job, although the she didn't quite achieve the look I was going for with my bangs, maybe I'll pull the scissors out a little later. Hopefully I can get my pics of the beach up tonight. Until then you are left with this post. enjoy.
Monday morning started out like most mondays for me. I was in the kitchen and Sarah Grace and I had just finished breakfast. Sarah Grace had gone into the living room to watch "Bawby" aka Barbie, a new favorite movie of hers. I had stayed in the kitchen with my friends baby and we were just kind of hanging out, I was looking at recipes. I had heard a noise and turned toward the window and before I knew it a car came plowing through my patio. Now, for this next part I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall. When the car was pushing through the fence I grabbed the baby and went flying into the den screaming at the top of my lungs. I scooped up Sarah Grace & ran for the front door frantically calling my Grandma and my Dad. I could see the car on the patio and smoke was coming from it. I couldn't get a hold of my Grandma, but I was able to get a hold of my Dad and we was on his way. I then decided to walk over to the back door to check on the driver. My fence was completely pushed against the door, so I couldn't open it and the whole front half of the car was sitting in the patio. To sum it all up, an 81 year old woman was picking up her granddaughter, who lives two doors down, and accidentally hit the accelerator. Pretty scary, the poor lady was really shaken up. Anyway, yesterday someone came out and cleared out the fence and the landscaping crew ripped out the shrubbery that was ruined. Talk about an interesting monday...
We are really enjoying ourselves at Pawleys Island. We've seen two great games, ate tons of food and are having fun just relaxing at our condo. The place is pretty cool to say the least, we're right on a golf course. This morning I woke up to an older gentleman teeing off. Exciting I know... Sarah Grace is holding up pretty well at the games, but I'll be honest last year was slightly easier, and the year before...well that was a piece of cake, but we're managing! At last nights game, she made friends with one of the volunteers at the concession stand. She gave her a free Kit Kat and on a separate jaunt she gave her a tootsie pop. How could you not want to be friends with that face?! Eric & I hit some shops this morning and I picked up a few little trinkets. Is this post jumbled enough yet? I'll try and take some pictures of our view and get them up here and I'm really hoping that we make it to the beach, I'm in desperate need of the relaxing sound of waves hitting the shore. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
We're heading to Pawleys Island in a few hours and I'm so ready to just get away for a few days, even if it is to watch tons of baseball games!
