Mother's Day Flowers


For Mother's Day Aria (with the help of her great dad) gave me a gift card to J&L. I am such a lucky girl!! First thing this morning we went out to buy plants. Aria had such a great time carrying the little 4-packs around the yard while we planted them. Her favorite part of all of it was pulling the petals off the plants, she is so silly!

(Yes, that is dirt on her cheek)

Random Goings On

Aria hates when the vacuum runs. The noise frightens her and she cries out to be held whenever it is running. This makes it interesting to try and vacuum when it is only the two of us at home. This week, while running errands, I came across a toy vacuum and thought it may be something she would like (I also secretly hoped that it would help her overcome her fear). It was priced right and so I purchase it and took it home. I was right in thinking she would like it, but she is still terrified of the real vacuum when it runs. And according to Aria, talking on the phone while vacuuming is the only way to go!



Little miss also LOVES to climb! And climb she will from the chair to on top of the table and back again.

Ben has also been wanting a food dehydrator for awhile and for his birthday, my parents gave him one. The morning after he got it, I came into the kitchen to find these two cuties hard at work prepping fruit.



And a post of randoms just wouldn't be complete without including what the dogs have been up to. With spring in full swing now, we (mostly Ben) have been cutting back and cleaning up a bunch of overgrowth next to our fence. This included cutting down some trees. Izzy has been using a few of the stumps to perch herself on. You can see how heigh up she is with Macey as a reference for height...she is such a cat. And finally, as far as what I have been filling my time with (aside from mothering), well feel free to click here
