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

Spring, we are so happy to see you!!!!

We've been busy lately! Between all of our regular daily activities, Easton and I have also been enjoying some of the fun places in Grand Rapids that we can finally go visit since the weather has warmed up (a little!)
.
This week Tuesday, Easton and I joined our friends Annie, Katie, Amanda and Addie for an early afternoon at the Frederick Meijer Gardens! The kids had a blast! Although the butterflies really didn't capture their attention (except when it came to almost "squishing" a few beautiful winged creatures!), the outdoor "tree house" and garden maze sure did! It was such a fantastic day to enjoy the sunshine and warmth!

Katie ringing the garden bell, she is the only one who dared to!
A bad shot, but a rare one of two of the kids together. I did not get one of the three together but I think one of the other girls did, it is a rarity, let me tell you!

Easton was not happy a few exhibits were temporarily closed! ;-)


But he still had fun anyway! :-)


Smiles from my sweet boy!

Blurry, but such a cute expression!


"Mom? I think I mighta stepped on a butterfly, is that bad?"


Pretty butterflies


Also, this last week Thursday Easton and I joined up with Erin and Brody for some fun at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum, my pictures aren't great, but I am posting anyway. Getting a good shot of Easton right now is a lot of work, especially when he is having fun - he is always on the go!

Oh my, he looks so big! He sure enjoys the "hands-on" things doesn't he? You do such fun things with him. Keep it up, you will never regret giving him all of these explorative experiences. Now did you read "The Hungry Caterpillar" to him after the Gardens? I hope so as it is such a neat book about the life cycle of a butterfly. If you don't have it let me know and you can borrow a copy of mine! He needs to have the "reading connection" you know! Give him a hug and kiss from Aunt Vonnie.
