About Me

My photo
I am a 27 year old married mother of a beautiful, curly headed toddler named Easton and precious (and precocious) puppy named Ritzy. I have 3 blogs. The first blog is our family blog. Enjoy being nosey. Ha! The second blog is for the journey we have embarked on for our puppy. At almost 5 years old, our sweet Ritzy was diagnosed with calcium oxalate bladder stones. He had surgery to remove the stones. This blog is to document (and help others) our journey in saving Ritzy so he gets the long and healthy life he deserves. The third blog is for my "professional" life. It references my lovely Etsy store and all of the loveliness that inspires me on the wonderful world of Etsy

Time flies when you're having fun!

Today, June 17th, Ryan and I are celebrating our dating anniversary - 8 years together. 8 years sounds like such a long time and it makes me laugh because it doesn't feel like we've been together for almost a decade. Time certainly flies when you're having fun.

We have a picture above our fireplace that was taken when we first became engaged. Ryan and I were on the sofa looking at that picture the other night and underneath it, on our mantle is a wedding photo and then a maternity photo of myself and Ryan and then there is a picture of Easton on the coffee table where our feet were resting. When looking at the picture of us as a newly engaged couple, it didn't even seem like we were looking at ourselves. So much has happened in 8 years. I kept looking around at those photographs of the various stages in our relationship and felt so proud of how close and committed we have continue to be, the life we are building, the things we have accomplished, the family we have begun.


Life is so delicious.

I have been having fun looking at old pictures....and now you have to look at them too. So sorry, my blog and I can do what I want to.... ;-)

Dating


Engaged


Married




Pregnant....




Parents

From dating to parents in 8 years, they went by in a blink....

Moving on........Hope everyone had a nice Father's Day, what a gorgeous and sunny day it was! We had a really great day and I do have some pictures to share. Funny though, I got one lousey snapshot of Easton and I on Mother's Day and Ryan thinks he deserves a whole "session" (ha!), I am sure our neighbors got a kick out of us! (No judging now, my dad may be a photographer, but I am not!)






And lastly, the "piece de resistance" if you will....Adventures in Solids....


What? Are you sure I have something on my face?



Mom! Seriously! Put down the camera and feed me! Keep it comin'!



You're feeing me, but why the camera still?


Is the camera really necessary?



What? I made a mess!?


That was gooooooood!

What a BEAUTIFUL family you have. It is always nice you go back and look at where we have come from and then look at our children and see where we are going

I love all the pictures...you look beautiful!

Such fun when they start to eat solids. Just wait until you give him green beans and sweet peas and the colored food is all over everything! Too funny.
