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

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a busy weekend this past weekend. So busy that, in fact, we are still recovering from it! Whoo!

Friday night we went over to our friends, Jeff and Arlena's house and Easton loved playing with the kids!
(Look at those curls!)


Saturday we had parties galore to go to and some time to spend with my folks and aunts and uncles (who are so very, very fun - always tons of laughs) and then we ran out to Jeff and Arlena's house again. I have no pictures from this day. Exhaustion overtook me and I couldn't find the strength to even turn on the camera!!!!


Sunday we spent a relaxing day on the boat with Grammy and Grampy and had a bonfire. ::edit because they felt bad:: ;-)

Grammy and Grampy (who Easton now refers to as "Boppa") got Easton his very own wicker "deck chair" and so we brought it out on the boat with us, Easton LOVED IT!

This kid is a water boy! He loved being out on the lake!

After a day on the boat, it was time to make dinner. The guys were grilling and mom and I were in the kitchen. Too hard to look after the little E-toe. What do you do with him then? "Put him in the pot!" Grampy suggested! Brilliant idea Grampy!

I think Easton liked it in there a little too much!

Monday morning I was adamant that we take Easton to Standale's Memorial Day Parade. I learned my lesson. Parades in Walker, Michigan are not the same as parades in Sarasota, Florida. When we were in Florida they had the more elaborate Christmas parade and Easton loved it and was jamming to the music the whole time. This parade? He frowned, I think he was seriously pissed that the parade was so lame. And so were we. We took a couple pictures and left - vowing never to return. Sorry Toe!

Just a quick update, Easton's repetoire of words and phrases as of right now: Mama, Daddy, Boppa (Grandpa), Duck, Quack Quack, All Gone, All Done, Hi, Bye-bye, Clock, Clap, Uh-oh, Cracker, Cookie, Go and No....and he keeps adding more and more every day!

My dad says it is not "up to par" with the rest of his wardrobe! Apparently Easton should be hanging out on a 74 degree day in deck shoes, linen pants and a blazer! lol :-)

Haha! Love him in the pot! I wish we would have thought to go to the parade!
