Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Friday started out with B's party at school.  As you can tell by all the dried frosting on his pants, he had a great time.

 Saturday was the first nice day in a while. It actually felt like summer was on its way.  We ran errands, wore short sleeves, and went out for a sushi/Thai dinner.  B was excited about the weather.  I loved his bright pink summer polo.

 Easter Sunday we woke up and decorated eggs.  B loved all the bright colors.

 Then he found his Easter basket.  He loved his ball and car the most.

We filled B's basket with lots of snacks, books, bath crayons, a new ball, a race car, and a new shirt.

 Later that afternoon we snapped some quick pictures before heading out to my friend Jaime's house for Easter dinner. I love B's pastel pink polo.  Real men wear pink.

 We had a great time at Jaime's house.  Brayden and Cole had so much fun playing around.

 Hope you have a great week!

Easter Inspiration

I can't believe Easter is already this weekend!  I've put up my Easter decorations, but I still need to put together B's Easter basket, put together his teacher's gifts, buy stuff for his class Easter party/egg hunt (the Hubs signed us up for jelly beans....1 year olds eat jelly beans?!?!), bake Easter treats for Sunday....Ahh!  Luckily, there's tons of great ideas out there (i.e. Pinterest).  I've pulled together a few of my favorite finds below.  Enjoy!

Weekend Recap

With the Hubs being sick, we didn't do much this weekend.  I decided that Brayden needed new shorts and PJs since the weather is finally warming up.  So we headed to BabyGap.  They have so many cute things right now for Spring.  Check out these cute PJs and fun shorts.  B looks so cute in everything!



After the Gap, the Hubs needed to rest, so I decided to get B out of the house (so that the Hubs could actually get some rest!) and wander around Target.  I love all the Spring stuff that they have out right now.  I especially love this dresses and sandals.  And of course, they have cute shirts for B too!

Hope you had a great weekend too!  Happy St. Patty's day from our little leprechaun!

Cookie Monster Cookies & Milk Birthday Party

Last month my little man turned 1!  We were so lucky to have so many of our friends and family celebrate with us.  Since B loves cookies and Cookie Monster, it was easy to pick a theme.  Besides, who doesn't love cookies?!  The party had kids and adult beverages (Sangria), lots of snacks (Chick-Fil-A nuggets, YUM!), and of course, a cookie and milk bar!  Below are some pictures to show how this party came together.

Brayden Cole

Our little man is 7 months old!  Time is flying by.  I decided to take a break from my normal fashion, style, and food posts and dedicate a post to our cutie.  Brayden is growing up so fast.  He has 2 teeth and is showing signs (TONS of drool) of more to come soon.  He eats all of his fruits and vegetables.  We've recently started incorporating "dinners" (chicken and rice, etc.) and a little juice into his diet.  He's sitting up like a pro and can push himself up into the crawling position.  He can't crawl just yet, but can shimmy himself backwards and around in circles.  He's full of giggles and loves to babble on and on.  We had professional pictures taken last month by the talented photographers of Graceology.  They came out great!  Check them out below as well as a few pictures we took tonight for his 7th month.
