Horray for SPRING!!!

I am not a gardener, and I have a pretty large yard, so as much I as am excited to landscape my yard, I am little overwhelmed. I have no idea where to even begin. I was surprised the other day to be greeted by a lovely little flower in my front yard. I can't take any credit for this flower, because I didn't do anything to help it grow, but isn't it pretty? I have been loving the weather that we have had lately. It has been gorgeous! I hope the weather stays! I am excited for flip flops, walks in the park, playing tennis with Jami [this year is the year we go pro!! :) ], camping, sitting around the fire, and enjoying my yard!

I just had to put these on here.

My sister-in-law put these pictures on her post, but I couldn't resist putting them on here as well. I just think they are so dang cute!! I can't wait to see these kids in a couple of weeks!

Been there, done that!

Here is something fun for you to do.

Go to www.meosphere.com and you can track all of the places you've been, things you've seen, books you've read, movies you've watched. You can also make list of things you want to do this year, books you want to read, and much more. All you have to do is pick a list or map that interests you and then you check off items that you've completed and then it keeps track of all of your travels and goals.

Puppy Love

A few weeks ago, I had a dream that I got a puppy. Now, I have never really been a dog person, but ever since that dream I have been thinking about it more. I am not sure if I am ready for that kind of commitment, but I think it would be fun to have someone to cuddle with at night!. I have been looking online for dogs, just to see what is out there. I think westies are very cute dogs, but I would like to meet one in person and see if I could really handle it.

Here are a few pictures of westies. Aren't they adorable?

My travel day dreams....

I really want to travel more, especially to Europe, so I thought I would post a few places that I would like to visit.


This is a picture of some of Florences bridges as the sun is setting. Isn't it gorgeous? I love Florence and definitely want to go back. Florence is beautiful, with great shopping and the Duomo is amazing.

This is Pemberly, or at least one of the houses that was used to film the Pemberly scenes in BBC's Pride and Prejudice. I would love to go on a Jane Austin tour and see some of these amazing estates.









This is one of the cute little cities nestled in the rocks of the Cinque Terra (or Five Cities) that make up the Italian Riviera. Look at the stunning views, gorgeous waters and quaint village. Have I convinced you yet, that you need to go?

Viva Las Vegas!!!!

This past weekend my friend, Jami, and I drove down to Las Vegas to visit our very good friend Loni. Loni is getting her master at UNLV, and has been giving us a hard time for not going down and visiting her. So, we decided to take advantage of the three day weekend and go see her. The drive down was okay, except that it seemed to last FOREVER. Saturday we hit the strip and did some shopping (we also stopped at West Elm and found some VERY good deals!) Later that night we watched a movie at one of Loni's friends house. Sunday, before church, we took a quick trip to Hoover Dam (we were really only there long enough to take this picture). Sunday night we drove to St. George, where we met Loni's new niece, Abi, who is such a cutie! Monday we hung out until Jami and I had to brave the snow and sleet which slowed our drive home....Luckily, we made it home okay (and had a lot of laughs along the way) and now we have to face the real world again.

Thanks so much Loni for letting us come!!! We had a blast and we love you and miss you!!
