Easter fun with the fam bam ;)

We had an amazing time this Easter. It was a great day spent with family and we really took time to reflect on where we want to go from here forward in life. We trusted in the Lord to take our burdens and felt lighter at the end of the day. It was remarkable. Lil Peanut had a blast with his Easter Egg Hunt. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. 

Just one day at a time

It really is March already. Unbelievable. I am loving the warmer weather, and summer just around the corner, and with that comes Baby #2. Yes thats right we are expecting Baby McCarty in August and couldn't be more excited :) This week I am officially half way there at 20 Weeks and really starting to show it. Positive this is a huge reason why I've been so busy. From morning sickness and all day nausea, to placenta previa in the first trimester and light bed rest. Not to mention being a stay-at-home momma to Lil Peanut my days have been busy. Just one day at a time is how were handling the crazy busy life of getting ready for another Lil Peanut. 

Valentine DIY

I was going through my pictures to try and catch up the blog and I came across pictures I took of the fun valentines Lil Peanut and I made for his classmates. I thought I would share the project with y'all. I loved this idea because it wasn't sugar overload candy nor did I have to worry about food allergies.

Lil Peanut gave out a box of Crayolas. Everyone could enjoy them and it was very affordable. Here was the finished product! 

1. Get your supplies. Crayolas, construction paper, markers, scissors, ruler, and tape. 

2. I measured and cut the strips of construction paper to fit on the box where I wanted it. 

3. I had Lil Peanut tape the paper on to the boxes. 

4. I wrote the saying on each crayola box.

5. I had Lil Peanut color in the word "color" and hearts different colors. 

6. Most importantly have fun with it. And kiddo could help with this project. Just get creative!

Decorating the tree and other Xmas shenanigans

We had a great time decorating our Charlie Brown tree this year. We couldn't find a slim scrawny tree this year at the lots, so we bought a cheap Walmart tree and cut a bunch of branches out to make it our own. I think it turned out pretty great! We also were lucky to catch the Parade of Lights in downtown. Lil Peanut had a blast! We ended the last few holiday weeks with a visit with Santa. Check out how excited he is! 

The Rest of October

Is it just me or did The Fall season fly by? I cannot believe how much fun we've had in the last month, I have been so busy I completely forgot to post about Halloween! So here's the catch up ;) enjoy!

New family tradition

This last Sunday we raced as a new family in the Denver Race for the Cure. It was Ryan's first time, but Lil Peanut had been going to the race since he was in my belly ;) We had fun making shirts for the race the night before. Here see some great pics from our day.

Fun day at Devil's Backbone

Yesterday I took Lil Peanut hiking. It was such a beautiful Colorado day it only seem logical to get out and about. We went to Devil's Backbone Park, which isn't to far of a drive for us. I have to say I was impressed with how well this open space was cared for. Kudos to living in Northern Colorado ;) Lil Peanut was so excited to be the "leader" and I was one very proud momma for how well he did! We ended our nice lil hike with a picnic in the shade and deer sightings. Here are a few pics of the fun day trip.

Ok ok...

I have been horrible at posting on the blog this year! I can't believe three months just slipped away. Well there is a very good reason why and I can explain...

I got married. We are no longer a family of two, but three. Lil Peanut and I are very excited about the adventures that lie ahead. 

Just to catch up the past few months I'll post some pictures of our recent adventures ;)
