Happy Spring!

Ok, so I know the official start of spring is next weekend, but it sure felt great this weekend, so I say Happy Spring! I am so glad the weather has been so nice and I hope it stays for good this time. Trey and I took advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend and had a cookout with some news friends we made from our church retreat on Saturday.

Today we decided to spend some time outside making our front yard look better. We had some bushes that the builder planted when we moved in, but they just never seemed to grow. We thought it would be nice to add some more color to already beautiful pinkish purplish bushes (who knows what they are ? :) ha- and bought some pansies. I love how it turned out! It's so nice to have color and I can't wait for our knockout rose bushes to start blooming. Won't be long now...

Getting started...

Finished product (I almost wish we'd bought more)...

Abuela's 80th and Babysitting Little Kevin

I have been very fortunate to have all my grandparents around to watch me and my brothers grow up. I know I may be biased but they are the best grandparents in the world!

Last week my abuela (means grandmother in Spanish) celebrated her 80th. All of my other grandparents had a big bash for their 80th birthdays but abuela wanted something low key. So we all headed to a family favorite- Olive Garden. It was mmm mmm good and little Kevin (or should I say little Jon- looks just like him when he was a baby) stole the show in the restaurant. He kept turning around and flirting with this little girl at the table next to us. He's going to give those ladies quite a time batting his pretty blue eyes at them (as you can see more of in the pictures from last night when I helped Lisa out by watching him so she could go to a birthday dinner for her brother).
