a few new purchases!

It's always nice to get something new...

pillow-for comfort but mostly for style

basket-to hold tv remotes

bird feeder-to feed the hungry birds of Spring Hill and
to enjoy their beauty with my son

& it's even better when you don't have to pay for it!

I used a gift card from Christmas for the pillow and basket, and birthday money from my Uncle and Aunt for the bird feeder. Thanks for the presents Mom, Aunt J & Uncle G! I love them!

my b-day week continues..
ali, jenna and I went to an eric hutchinson show at 3rd and lindsley. (my sister's b-day treat to me!) it was an amazing show! he is a great entertainer.

this was katie herzig- she opened for eric. she has such a pretty voice! This shows you how close we were to the stage. The chair in the bottom right of the picture is at our table.

it was so much fun!! the highlight of my night MIGHT be when I came back to the table and jenna and ali had an 'autograph' from dave. what tricky little girls!!!

I am 24...

My birthday was on Wednesday. I had a great day..
*My sister came over and spent the day with me. She brought me a blueberry muffin. Yum.
*I got lots of special b-day calls, and texts.
*Ezra was on his best behavior.. very nice considering he's been a cranky sick boy for about two weeks.
*My hubby came home from work and took me to dinner at Login's. Mmm.
He announced that we will in fact be getting a fence in our backyard before summer. (This was at THE TOP of my b-day list... if you have a young boy and dog.. you understand!) I'm SOOO excited! We had a great night together and I was spoiled!
AND we're going to have my b-day celebration at my Mom's on Sunday..
AND THEN.. Monday Jenna, Ali and I are going to an Eric Hutchinson show!!! WOO HOO!

Ezra's Valentine Day lingo..

Tony: Ezra, say "I"

Ezra: "I"

Tony: "Love"

Ezra: "YOU!"

from US to YOU!

OK, what have I been up to?
Well if you must know.. I had a wonderful weekend.

Friday- Date night.

Tony and I went out to eat at Macaroni Grill. It was delicious!

Then we just did a bit of shopping and cruised the town.

It was a much needed break.

Saturday- Girls night.

Jenna, Ali and I had a GIRLS NIGHT!

It included: Shopping, pizza, margaritas, brownies, a jam session,

a movie, and a semi sleepless night.

Sunday- Family day.

It was SO amazingly nice out. We went to church, and over to my Mom's for lunch, then took baby for a walk to the park. It was a very nice day. It has been so nice here.. Ezra has been spoiled with trips to the "part" aka park.

I was so spoiled with this break from reality. I could really get used to making this girls night a ritual. :)
