Excited for spring yet?

We are so excited for spring to arrive! Oh to have warm weather again. This was the last tulip to bloom from my Valentine's day flowers. I look forward to seeing my crocus, tulips, and hopefully daffodil's come up and start blooming. I love having perennials planted around the house. It brings a fun scavenger hunt for us in the spring.

Dinosaur morning

It's a Dinosaur kind of morning here. Some are scary, some aren't nice, but there all friends at snack time according to Caden. I like how he sorts them by groups & colors.

It's the weekend!

Yay, it's the weekend! The time where daddy's home and doesn't have to work, where we all get to relax and just have fun. Last night we blew up the air mattress and camped out downstairs. This has become one of Caden's favorite things to do on the weekends! It's so cute to watch him get all excited about camping on the floor with mommy & daddy.  It makes me look forward to summer, where we can camp out in a tent in the backyard.

My love & I

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is the day of love! To show & share our love with each other.  We started our day of celebration by eating some red colored blueberry muffins. Mmm!

 

And here are 2 of my sweet little valentine's!

What's lunch without some fun heart shaped sandwiches?

For supper we're making a heart shaped pizza, with some homemade garlic cheese bread. We are having such a fun day of love! I hope you are too!

Naptime with Super Dog

I snuck in and took a picture of Caden at naptime. He has his super dog tucked beside him as well as his other puppies & horse. His "super dog" has been taking a lot of naps with  him lately. It's cute.  : )

Mandarin Coriander

Mandarin Coriander by Thymes

This is my favorite lotion to use, it smells so good. It's such a soft relaxing scent, there is just a small hint of mandarin smell. I've usually only been able to find it at Essentuals in Fort Collins, but lone behold I found a store here in Lincoln that carries the Thymes brand, so I'm hoping to stop by the next day or two and see if they have it. You know sometimes you have that favorite perfume, well for me it's this lotion. I've loved it for years. Well really since I first moved to CO and stumbled upon it while exploring Old town. Well, it looks like my hands are getting a little dry, I better go put some on. : )

Coffee & a Recipe book

Drinking a much needed cup of coffee this morning, maybe even two. Tyler had a rough time last night trying to sleep. Poor babe has a stuffy/runny nose & a cough, then to go along with that he's teething. So I'm not quite sure if it's just the teeth causing this or a cold. Either way, I hope he feels better soon. He's taking a little nap now, so that's good. It gives me the chance to look through my Susan Branch "Love" recipe book, to find a fun meal & dessert for Valentines day.

Ahh.....Naptime.

Oh how I love naptime! It allows me the chance to relax and recharge myself. Tyler is finally taking good naps, by himself. For the longest time he would fall asleep by himself, but only sleep maybe 10-15 min. and then he wouldn't fall back asleep even though he was clearly still tired. He would just cry in his crib, but as soon as I would pick him up he would be out. Night time was no problem for him sleeping, so at least I had that going. Thank goodness those days are over, well at least for the past couple of days. Keep your fingers crossed. Caden still takes a nap, although it's not as long as it once was, he still lays down. Yay! He needs it, he plays so hard.
