The New House

So this is our new place! We moved in over Memorial Weekend and are mostly settled aside from some odds and ends we still need to get put away. Here are some photos of our second floor apartment. There will probably be more pictures of the bedroom and kitchen later on when we get the rooms looking nice.

The bathroom of courseTa-dah! It is a little smaller than our last place but we love it and its already feeling like home. Now everyone just needs to come for a visit! :)

Playing in the Yard

Its been fun having the weather be warmer lately because I can actually take Ayden outside to enjoy nature. He hasn't had much chance to do that since he was born right before winter. I've really enjoyed showing him different animals and letting him feel the grass and watch cars and people. Its a big world for such a little guy!

Here are some pictures we took in the yard yesterday.

Mommy's Day

Although most of my mother's day was spent celebrating my own mother, I still had an amazing day. My wonderful hubby gave me a thoughtful gift, in addition to having given me the gift I really wanted which was a day off from mommy duty. I got to spend Friday doing whatever I wanted...including going to the mall to get some new threads for summer. Thanks honey :) Sunday was fun because my sisters and I had themed my mom's gifts around a gift we had planned in secret clear back last summer and all the waiting finally paid off.

Each gift had some kind of tie to the secret, and although mom knew it had something to do with dogs, she didn't know why. Its a long story, but our mom has wanted a dog for quite a few years now and for certain reasons hasn't been able to get it. It is something she wants really badly and has been working really hard for so we decided to start up a savings account dedicated to the sole purpose of saving up money to get our mom a dog. We ended up saving quite a lot over the last year and on Sunday we were able to spring the surprise on her...and of course, it made her cry. Score! :)

Also, for the first time ever we had my Grandma Scherbel over for our Mother's Day dinner which was fun. Three generations of mommy's in our house! All in all, it was an awesome day.
