Birthday Boy

Today my little man turned one. I was trying to think of some long, sentimental post I could do, but nothing is coming to mind. So all I can say is Cash has brought so much joy, and happiness into our home. I know you mom's out there know what i'm talking about when you have those moments when you look are your child, and wonder how you got so lucky to love someone so much. And even luckier that they love you back. Anyway.. happy birthday buddy.

Viva

Last weekend we enjoyed a Perfect weekend in Vegas. The concrete convention was being held.. so it was a great excuse for me to tag along. While mason was busy..doing what ever he was doing, I had a great time browsing the shops, reading, taking a bath as long as I wanted on my own time. It was awesome. And when he wasn't busy, we ate at some fun restaurants, saw LOVE at the mirage, and shopped some more. And no Mason did not win $1,ooo gambling.. why do you ask...? It was a great weekend.

Time Wasted

There was a day when I felt like I was wasting time.

I felt like my days were filled with things that didn’t bring much fulfillment or accomplishment. TV, computer... you know, those mind numbing activities.

Then I decided it was time to make a change.

It was time to start some things I have wanted to do, but had put on the back burner, to do some things that bring a little more enjoyment and fulfillment.

So I summoned my inner Martha Stewart, my Paula Deen, and my deeply burried Jane Austin.

So I finished painting and recovering this lamp.

I learned to sew this apron from the Domestic Queen. (My Mom)

And started cooking recipes from currently my favorite cookbook.

Along with reading some books i’ve been meaning to dip into instead of watching TV, or listening to conference talks or Podcasts like “This American Life” instead of the radio.

waste not time for that is the stuff of which life is made.~ Benjamin Franklin

I Don't Want To Forget..

How much this boy loves his bath...

The day he drug the broom around all day.. (I'm not kidding, all day)

How excited he gets when his dad gets home..

Christmas Festivities

 

We had a great christmas this year.  It started with the lights,

Followed by food of coarse, we had a declicious dinner at Red Rock with these three yeah-whos.

Santa at the Salmon family Party. Cash was in Awe. 

 Christmas eve, Lambs Cafe down town. This is such a fun tradition with the Green clan. 

Christmas day, Cash diggin all of his new stuff!

And just because we hadn't had quite enough yet, a trip to Insta care Christmas night for a double ear infection!

The closet eater

I could hear rummaging in the pantry. I opened the door to find this little man had pulled the oreo's down, opened the bag and was gnawing away on one.

I took it away, and was met with this face.

I felt bad so I let him gnaw on it a little longer, sat down and enjoyed a few myself.

Annual Shopping Trip

This was our third annual shopping trip, and it did not disappoint. When lots of food, shopping, pedicures, and laughing are involved, how could it?

We always go the day after Thanksgiving, so it is a MAD HOUSE... but in a fun sort of way. Shop all day, and spend the night in a hotel. Its always fun to be with these girls and I can't wait until next year!

Cheesecake Factory anyone?

Getting rejuvenated for more shopping!
