{summer lovin'}

I'm counting down the days until summer holidays with my crew. I love SUMMER! I think the best part is having my crew home all summer and able to work on our bucket list. Check out the The Summer Bucket List Challenge if you need help with some great ideas. We do one each year and we each add our own items on the list to do together.  Here's hoping its a hot and sunny summer so we can get outside lots:)

{spring}

finally this weekend....it felt like SPRING! trees are blooming, mowed the grass, sun was warm....oh we love warm weather. Spent the weekend outdoors. A day at the lake with boat rides, tube rides, and soaking in the sunshine. Then a day at home doing yard work and playing outside. I was so busy I didn't snap a picture...decided to grab a few on this beautiful monday morning before the girls left on the bus. I had bought this sweet little spring sign while in arizona and thought we'd use it in march...whom am I kidding...Williams lake spring took a while to appear!:) Glad it decided to arrive.
Enjoy your sunny week!:)

Bonne fete a toi
Bonne fete a toi,
Bonne fete a Carrigan
bonne fete a toi!

The sweet group of girls from school and lifetime friends!:) Thanks all for coming out to make Carrigan's party so fun!

 she is a girl after my own heart...above is her planning sheet for her party...she wasn't going to let me off easy this year. Kent said I've done it to myself by setting the bar high for parties. We celebrated her birthday day in between school, soccer and brownies with a family dinner out at BP's. This wasn't enough for my lovely lady. She wanted a party. Actually she wanted a sleepover with a few friends and a party. She had to choose just one. She chose a party. Barbie themed!
It turned out to be a lovely lovely warm sunny spring weekend. So we set up the party outdoors. It was great. Mani/pedi's in the sunshine. Fun with friends on our new trampoline.

Grady was quite concerned that boys weren't invited since she only had girls from her class. He asked Carrigan " are boys like me invited?" Of course she said. He wouldn't wear the outfit Carrigan chose for him...he preferred jeans and his surf shirt...a girl can try.
Boy oh boy I haven't blogged for a while....we must be busy!:) enjoying all the little moments these days along with some big projects, trips, weddings etc. I will catch up here soon. xo tam
