{ oh the things that we do around here } ::

nothing better than nibbling on a cadbury chocolate bunny! and well being cute is what we do around here!



currently obsessed with Trader Joe's Chili Lime Chicken Burgers. yummy my friends, yummy! add some ketchup, mayo, avacado, onion, lettuce and cheese. ohhh baby!
also...i love making my 'i am a child of god' prints! best gift for a baby shower ever! and i love to customize the colors to match the babies room colors. i made this one for a friend of mine here in VA. she loved it. and that makes me happy!!




we go to the petting zoo at the mall, not once - but twice in one week! we checked out lamas, bunnies, lots of goats, baby ducks and a really fat quinea pig. and while we were at it the second time around we also hit up the train that goes around the mall. we are so lucky to have made some AMAZINGLY AWESOME friends here in VA. i feel so lucky!! nothing like having a good time together with friends! it's one of those expanding heart, warm fuzzy feelings inside. just sayin!



we go to the pet store to see the fishes, cats and a big hit this time around the bearded dragons which brody proceed to hug the cage they were in. awesome.
we get boo-boos from deciding to be indiana jones at the park and jumping off the jungle gym by a rope and get a narly rope burn. it was sad. many bandaids were used in the healing of this finger. glad to report the finger is all healed. pretty sure brody told every person he came in contact with that he slide down the rope and hurt his finger. love him.



we eat yummy bbq. this was our second time at buz and neds. the ribs are where its at. it's the only thing i would ever get again there (tyson agrees on that too) and the side dishes are all yummy too. but ribs....it's all about the ribs!



let's just say that, i get invited to rockin sweet cookie exchanges. what the cookies??? i know right, try not to lick your computer screen. so yummy and so much fun!



we go to baseball games, drink diet coke, take too many pictures and cheer on our AA baseball team the Richmond Flying Squirrels. brody is our sports fanatic and loved and watched every minute of it! apparently this team was really good last year, well, um, they were terrible the other night. sorry squirrels, but really? it looked like they had no idea how to hit a ball and bat together. but no worries, the firework show totally made up for it and brody loved it.



we go down to Cary St. and stop to eat yummy ice cream at Bev's on a really warm night. it's like a jeni's (for my ohio friends out there) jeni's beats out Bev's here in richmond, but was still really tasty.



we go to church and feel the spirit, hear up lifting messages and then enjoy a relaxing beautiful day. kinda wonderful in so many ways.

when it comes down to it...during the day there are so many moments of imperfection, but at the end of the day, everything is perfect. i love my evenings with my little family! they make me so happy. i really am lucky to spend all the time i get to with brody, i wouldnt want it any other way and that really makes me happy. i love it when i feel happy way deep down in the pit of my stomach, that's the real kind of happy. I think I might just burst!

it's monday friends! imaginary high five! hope it's a great week!!
