Random Thoughts & Pictures

A random sampling of pictures from the last month.

We had a yard sale last weekend in an attempt to clear out the house and storage shed.
It was a prime example of Kansas weather - don't be fooled by the sunny sky. We were seriously cold for most of the day!
Here is a snapshot of my mom trying to get warm in the sun!

A couple of week's ago I came home on a Friday afternoon to find these beautiful flowers on the kitchen table! What an awesome husband!

There has been much planting over the last month! The new potting bench is coming in very handy. Here are a few pics of some of our front yard flowers.

and finally - After much waiting Molly finally got to go to Soggy Dog Salon.

Here she is with her new summer cut!

Congrats to Brooke & Shane!!!

Okay so I have majorly slacked off on the updates - mostly due to the craziness that is the end of the school year.
However as of Tuesday, school is officially out, and summer is here!
So my first post of summer has to be:
Brooke & Shane are engaged! Many, many congrats to you both!
Here is a picture Brooke sent that was taken after the big event.

Brooke will be making her way to Kansas this weekend!
So we are excited to see her and spend some time catching up.

Love, Hugs, and Congrats to Brooke & Shane!

New Furniture!!!!!!!

Tuesday was a very exciting day for us as our new living room furniture arrived!

Here are a few pictures of the grand arrival!

Good-bye old couches!

Snowy Saturday

A few pictures of our Saturday morning winter wonderland.

The new potting bench all covered in snow.

Bryan & Molly had a great time playing catch with snowballs.

Congrats to the Walker Family!

Sonya, Chris, and Kaitlyn welcomed new family member
Isabel Shay this afternoon!
Congrats!
We look forward to meeting her and catch up with you all soon!

It's Done!

My wonderful husband finished the potting bench tonight after work!

YIPEEEE!

Someone can't wait to start planting!

Spring is almost here!

The weather has been beautiful this week!

So far I have successfully fought the urge to rush out and purchase plants, mostly because I am fully aware I live in Kansas and I expect we're not done with the cold yet!

However the weather has allowed Bryan a bit more time to work on the potting bench!

He put the bottom shelf on last night, so now just two more shelves to go and I'll be ready to start potting and repotting plants!

I did start a couple of bulbs inside this year.

They have really taken off this week, loving the sunshine in the front window!

We would also like to pass on some very happy wishes!

A very happy first birthday to Mr. Sylas! (and his mom Jess). We hope it is a wonderful day for you both and hope to see you again very soon!

Congrats to Chris & Erin on the birth of their daughter, Reese! What a great way to celebrate St. Patrick's day!

and to the Carlson Crew - Linds, Brandon, Connor, and Kylee -

many many congratulations and a giant cyber hug for you all on the wonderful news of a new family member!

August is an awesome month for a birthday! We are so excited for you guys!

Here are a few pictures of our recent adventures and some spring blooms!
