Scenes from our weekend...

Our weekend was the jam. It was packed with fun activities and celebrations.

Our baby turned 3. We celebrated with his first soccer practice and a circus themed birthday party {more pics to follow in the next few days, when I actually recover}. 

According to JB, he's the best kid out there and the youngest. So humble, I know. Shockingly, he was pretty good at  shooting and kicking. 

After a packed Saturday, it was really nice to keep it low key and celebrate all JB does for us. We spent a ton of family time together, finished up with the Dark knight rises, and burgers from Five guys. I didn't even have to cook. 

We consider ourselves pretty lucky for that guy. 

And what weekend is complete with out sneaking off to Homegoods?  Can you guess which of these I came home with?

Don't forget to enter the $50 amazon giveaway!

5 things....plus a giveaway

1.  My little baby will be 3 tomorrow. I. Still. Can't. Believe. It. I'm in complete denial. I kept thinking if I ignore it, he won't get any older.  So we'll be having a little shindig around these parts.

2.  Hard core crushing on these beauties. If only they were within budget, instead of living in outer space. Luuuurve. 

3.  I know I was just talking about Vegas, but it was such a fantastic experience!!  Can't wait to take my gaggle hiking again. 

4.  I've been changing some things up as usual around here. Some vignettes have been desperately neglected. If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw this little mantle update. It finally feels like its coming together. Just need to pick up some candle sticks. 

5.  Beyond excited that Cheryl from http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/ contacted me about giving one of my readers the chance at a $50 Amazon gift card.  http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/ is responsible for some really jazzy appliances in addition to one of my favorite blogs- AO @ home. 

That the lovely Kimberly writes. Nothing better than a double dose of a fav blogger!!!

Happy father's day to my Dad + JB!!!!

Vegas vacay

After 4 days in Vegas and 2 home, I'm almost fully recovered. It wasn't the type of Vegas trip you're thinking of, I had my gaggle with me. We met my dad and step mom there for a graduation, some adventure and of course family time. Joshy Bobby had to work unfortunately, so he was stuck in AZ. 

We spent plenty of time at the pools...which the kids were obsessed with how many options they had and of course made fast friends with other vacationing littles. 

A few of Kage's afternoons were spent like this. 

We all had a blast checking out the Springs Preserve. There were tons of fun activities for kids there along with animals, history and where they were able to break their own geodes {my fav part}.

They painted little ceramic pots like frogs. 

We had the best time hiking in Red Rock Canyon. Which is prob crazy, since I have this irrational fear of heights these days. Does that mean I'm getting old?  

Anyhoo, the views were ridic. 

Tune in tomorrow for giveaway time!!!
