I don’t know how this happened… I thought we were going to have a nice relaxed boring summer and I just signed up for a few things here and there… Apparently I didn’t really plan it well..or think everything through. Obviously…
I’m running around busier than ever during this summer break than during school season. Yeesh.

I’m driving the kids before, during and after work for these activities and I have my parents driving them (thank you!) as well as arranging for car pools with other moms.

Actually it is pretty nice and relaxing for kids and they are having so much fun. Andrew is having fun too since he gets to golf more.

Congratulations SJ!

I had the honor of planning my friend’s bridal shower.

I cut some flowers from my garden, found a branch and voila!
Super easy to put together and makes a beautiful backdrop.

I love this time of the year. 

Peonies are bit late but finally blooming!

Chloe was in the art club this year and made this sign.

I was showered with cards, notes, coupons and gifts!

Chloe also made me coupons!

Andrew took them to Anthropologie store to use their own money to buy me gifts.

Shane made these chocolate pretzels for me when he went to Andrew’s work last week.

I feel so blessed I have such loving kids. Happy Mother’s day!

This balloon made it to my house! 🙂

I saw her reading in her sunday outfit and I just had to take a picture of her. How cute is she!

A giant balloon = Photo op!

I was asked to plan a very simple baby shower for a colleague at work so this is what I did. 

I love those giant balloons. 🙂

I’m getting ready to host a dinner party tomorrow. When I’m planning a party the first thing I do is buy fresh flowers and set the tables. Nothing transforms the room and gets me in the mood for party like beautiful floral arrangements.

Chloe wrote me a birthday card listing 41 things about me.

She’s too generous with her compliment! I’ll take it. 😉

Shane’s valentine’s day card to us.:) I love my kids!
