On the last day of winter

I went for a bike ride of course!  and checked out the old elementary school playground - can you believe they still have the blue swings?!  Those guys were death traps 20 years ago, cant believe they're still there! 

Followed by a walk in the hood.  This is a good harbinger for summer! :)

Birthday Much?

More than a month after my birthday I received a birthday gift in the mail! YESSS!!!!  Love the extended birthday!!

The gift itself was great, (darling spatula and towel), but I loved the packaging the most! :)  Talk about an after work pick-me-up!

Plus original artwork for my fridge! :)

On Saturday my girlfriends all got together to celebrate Liliann's 1st bday - so fun!!

Blonde much?

Ahh who doesnt love a good birthday celebration?! 

Special Saturday

Saturday was full of friends, and for those friends I am thankful.

Laurie stopped by in the morning bearing house gifts and good cheer.  

I visited Becca in the afternoon and ran some errands with Evie, the sweetest little sneak you'll ever meet! :)

Here she is, enjoying some candy and the day

In the evening I took in some Laugh Fest and dinner and met some new friends.  

People are the spice of life!

Pretzel Making Fools

Say it with me now: 'Mmm homemade soft pretzels!'  They were so good, and so worth it!

Roll out and cut into puffs

The 'secret' is in the background of this photo: baking soda.

Baked puffs

Cinnamon Sugar - ooo lala!

Or mustard is a good friend too :)

Round the night out with delish homemade gyros and a good joke, I'd say it was a great Friday night!

Still No Tomcats

Nope, Regina still hasnt met any nice tomcats, but there is new (beautiful) life on Kelsey!
 
 If you recall, this is where I started

After a few days in the dark this is how they were

When they looked like this, I decided it was time to bring them into the light

See the buds???

ooo I think I can!

I can!

And I'm BEAUTIFUL!

I am telling you, this is easy, doable, and is bringing cheer to my dining room!

Let's Go Blue!

Recently the Michigan Wolverines provided a great family outing

The girls in Blue!

The team laid an egg that night, but the outing was still great!

You Dirty Rat!

I heard that phrase! At a church ladies game night!  Sequence will do that to you I guess! :)

xBox Kinect

Adult Shoots and Ladders I think

The alleged 'Dirty Rat' is there on the left - I know right?!

Such fun!

Even until 1 am...that's when the good stories about bats and rats come out!
