May/June

So this post may become a photo dump from the past two months, but at least it will get everyone caught on the happenings here.

My spring flowers were gorgeous this year.

My coworker and I went and toured homes and gardens around Arlington for Virginia's Garden Week. If my garden ever looks half as good of theirs I will be one happy camper! 

 The garden is planted! Hopefully soon we'll start enjoying yummy fresh from the vine tomatoes.

I finally planted my cutting garden and have started to enjoy fresh flowers in the house and on my desk at work. 

 

A few weeks ago we celebrated Mike's birthday. It seemed like the celebration went on for a week and a half due to him having to work at a local fair that always happens the weekend of his birthday. We went home the weekend before to celebrate with his parents. 

At his request, I made and took to the fair Boston Cream Cupcakes which were absolutely delicious! 

The weekend we were home for Mike's birthday, the Exeter Relay for Life event was going on. We went over to cheer on the Dragonflies, who ended up coming in third for the amount of funds raised!

Mom and Mike are up there somewhere. 

In some other randomness, we had two people get stuck in their trucks at our house. The first was Andrew, during a monsoon for a rainstorm. 

He ended up spending the night since they couldn't get him pulled out. The next day he dug up the huge rock that was by the apple trees so at least now there is no more concern about running over it with the lawn mower! 

A few weeks later some random guy tried to turn around in our driveway, but somehow missed the big hole on the side of the driveway. 

Thanks to a passerbyer they got him pulled out with no issues. 

Lately the dogs and I have been hanging out on the deck just enjoying the weather. 

Until next time,

Happy (Belated) Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

  

Can you believe this is my 100th post?!?!

Family, Food and Rain

The title pretty much sums up our Easter, but it really was a great day (even if we did all have to run for cover right after the Easter egg hunt!)

Mom, Mike and Ryan came down Friday night and helped me get ready for Sunday. Here's a peak at what we did:

I managed to get some pictures of Mom and Ryan playing Guitar Hero Saturday night!  (If you know my mother, you know how difficult it is to get a picture of her)

I think she was actually enjoying it!

I worried about the weather for days, but when I woke up it was a glorius day. You couldn't ask for better Easter weather.

I think she would have laid there for hours.

For the table centerpieces, I pulled out the tea cups that were given to me by so many family and friends for my bridal shower. Mom and I made little flower arrangements in each. And of course, you can't have Easter dinner without candy on the table, so I put different candies in even more tea cups.

Instead of using regular drinking glasses, I gave everyone their own mason jar with a paper straw. The tables were super cute and everyone seemed to love them!

We had no shortage of food!

After dinner, we had an Easter egg hunt which of course Libby was trying to get involved in again.

It was about two minutes after this picture was taken, that the skies open up and rained like crazy. So we moved the party inside for dessert and coffee.

If you have never made a cake pop, or heard of Bakerella, you need to go check out her site! They are so good and so much fun to make!

So that was our Easter. How was yours?
