When the three little kids were here for Easter we hid LOTS of eggs Easter morning. Both real ones and plastic ones! ( Above is Morgan, Matt, Trinity holding Koko, and Colton)
Well, I guess one got left behind, and guess who found it one morning in the back yard! She was NOT going to give up her treasure!
She also found this... look a little closer...
You can just barely make out the bunny ears. We have a bunny nest in the back yard. Unfortunately, she found it and brought one to me. It didn't make it :( she tried to be gentle with it but dropped it a few times before I realized what she had. She also brought one to Scott, since he didn't read my text to not let Koko out in the backyard unless she was supervised due to her having found a bunny nest. His didn't make it either :( But now we know it is there, and Koko is staying away. Mommy bunny comes a few times a day to care for the ones that are left. I plan to try to take pictures once a week to document them growing up! Should be fun!
When I arrived at work on Friday, my desk looked like this ^^^ my friend Jessica had "decorated" it for my birthday =) She knows my love of buttons and had scattered them all over my desk! She added a few birthday banners, flowers in a basket, and pink glittery decorations! I LOVE it! She had also brought in a HUGE box of Starbucks coffee, cream, fruit, and mini lemon poppyseed muffins that were delish! Thank you so much Jessica!
Matt was SO excited to fly the airplane with Uncle Scott, and spend the night with Aunt Laurie!
We all walked out to the airplane with him...
And watched as they took off! Then my dad says to my step mom... did he take his dramamine?!? Oops! Luckily, he didn't need it! He LOVED it, and can't wait to go again! Maybe tomorrow if he can get Uncle Scott to go ;)
Then we came home and dyed Easter eggs before going for my Birthday dinner!
Easter is my honeys favorite holiday! He was a happy boy to be dying eggs this year! Love you honey!
It is tulip time!!! :) My FAVORITE time of the year!
My dad came to visit, it is his first visit to Bellingham! It is so nice to have him, my step mom and my nephews Matt and Colton and niece Morgan all here! I LOVE showing off this wonderful place we live!
I love how they ALWAYS plant the tulips where there is a barn in the background :) They have to move the fields every year and do not replant in a field for 5 years.
So each year we go, is different! It is always cold too:( But SOOO worth it! (Miss you mom! Next year?!?)
Scott and I spent a couple hours doing yard work, such a nice feeling (I think anyway, Scott not so much! Hehe!)
I was able to plant some flowers near the front door.
Makes me so ready for warm weather and gardening!
Scott's sister Jodi sent this book and the rocks back with him when she saw him in Boston. LOVE it! Can't wait to look for my own Heart Stones!
Any one who knows me, knows I LOVE hearts!
This one has sparkles!
I decided to add a basket picture on the mantle, I think it helps the balance a little better.
Scott and I also drove to Birch Bay to the C shop for chocolate bunnies! Yummy!
I am sending a goodie to each of our kids...
Had to have a goodie for each of my niece and nephews that are coming to visit Friday!
Scott had one while we were at the C shop, but he wanted one for Easter too! Hehe!
And I couldn't forget my friends at work!
I decided to make some special m&m treats for my friend Jessica for Easter, I made another 30 total, these are the 8 for her using my bird punch. The rest are for us to sell for Relay for Life.
Koko was feeling very neglected! :)
Did a little decorating for spring this weekend. I am looking for a quote or picture to put in the middle, I have been trying to find a mirror that would work there for a long time, so I have given up!
The pot on the african violet looks blue in the picture, it is purple in real life.
The letters I found on clearance at Michael's a while back and are a lilac glitter.
This picture show the glitter a little better. I used the bird punch and sponged the edges. I really like this little bird, I am going to try to make a garland to hang from the light in the dining room using the bird and the flowers.
I bought this nest last year at TJ Max when the Easter stuff was on clearance for $1.99.
I need to pick up a few more of the moss covered rocks from Dollar Tree, when I picked them up I didn't know what I was going to do with them, but am pretty happy with them inside the jar, my other thought was to fill it with Jelly Beans, but that would cost too much! Haha!
I am working on this corner still, I bought the curly willow branch this weekend at the Lynden Craft and Antique show. I love it, not sure what to do with it. I bought another one that is by the front door. I am looking for a toile to put inside the curio cabinet before I get to carried away with filling it.
I am thinking of using these dish towels as inspiration for painting the kitchen. If Scott isn't home next weekend, I may spend it painting and redecorating. Goodbye peanut butter walls, and chickens, hello spring green walls, herbs and lavender check curtains! Yummy! I think I even have a metal bee I can use somewhere!
