i hope your mother's day

was as nice as mine. i went to my mom's for the weekend. it was so nice to go "home" again for a much overdue visit. i talk to my mom alot on the phone but, that's just not the same. anyway, it was so good to visit with my mom. my sweet sissy,terri and her hubby and daughter came to mom's on sunday for dinner. good to see them too. the day went so fast! on saturday even tho it was raining alot we,mom&i went shopping. we went to a nearby town and they have a great shop there. i drive by all the time on the way north but, haven't stopped in a long time. well we were impressed. it was very tasteful,not over done or jammed with so much stuff you couldn't see everything. the prices were decent too. i got the frame (above)there. nice stuff...i also got this square white tray....
my lilacs are starting to open so i best get out there and cut a bokay! i will be heading to omaha to watch my little sweet pea for a bit this afternoon. can't wait to see her.... have a nice day!

what a great day

i had today,although it didn't start out that way. i woke up with a nauseating/pounding headache and thought oh great, i need to get rid of this before the kid's bring my little sweet pea. it passed eventually, maybe, cause kaylie was here. look at her,she is six weeks old already! vic stopped by for a visit too! anyway, after jill&jim left,vic and i got our cameras out and i changed kaylie into this darling dress jill got at old navy. she looked so tiny propped up on the bed. she was a real little trooper.
i love her white sweater,isn't it cute?
this baby is sooo special to us. i can't get over her. she makes this gramma so happy! i do think my little cully was a bit jealous of all the attention kaylie was getting,not that he ever lacks for attention mind you,he just wants all of it!
have a nice evening!

this is going to be a very

lame attempt to blog tonight. i wasn't even going to blog at all but, thought why not ? sooo such as it is, here goes....
my little cully just layed around all day and wouldn't play really or eat! not sure what is wrong if anything. just maybe having an off day.
a view of my family room with my great grandma's table and some of my treasures atop it!
sorry to say that's about it for now. i know tomorrow will be a better day as i will be watching kaylie at our house so the kid's can go and have a fun day! yeah,i can't wait.....
have a nice evening!

what makes you

happy?well, of course,my family makes me happy, most of the time anyway! ;) here's my "wall of fame" as jill calls it. had to get a frame and get my sweet pea up there,and now she is! these little ceramic letter balls tickle me! why, i dunno,they just do.....
goodies in the mail is a fun thing. my treasures from velvet strawberries. love that place, you should check it out. hopefully, this new little stash will kick in my creative flow! it's been gone for awhile now so i'm not sure if it will help! lol!!
also fleur-de-lis....love them. this is from velvet strawberries too. it's from wendy addison's collection.
ahhh and freshly washed and dried linens on the bed. is there anything better? well, i'm sure there is but, it's the little things you know? :)
have a nice day!

how was your weekend

mine didn't go according to the plan i had but, that's ok i guess.....this is our red bud tree in the back yard.it's so pretty right now.....
i did get to watch my little sweet pea friday morning tho...that is always a treat for me!she is such a good baby.
sorry this is kind of blurry but, she was awake and this gamma was snapping away! love this baby girl....
look at them cheeks! cute! :)

have a nice day!

hope your may day

was special cause mine sure was! i'm yakking away to vic on the phone and the doorbell goes off and so does cully barking his little head off i tell ya! anyway, vic says i'll let you go if someone is at your door.okay i say i'll call you back. i open the door and this beauty is sitting there!! i'm all excited and open the door and peek around the corner and there is vic wishing me a happy may day!! isn't that just the best? may day is still alive and i love it! isn't this plant gorgeous? yep, i'm a lucky gal to have a friend like vic.... she then asked me along for a quick trip to the big city and hobby lobby. many good deals there1 wow,lot of treasures for 50% off. nice,here are some of mine.
also got some home grown onions and carrots from vic via her aunt & uncle. nothing better than fresh produce. and last but, certainly not least i will be watching my little sweet pea in the morning so her mama can go to the doctor etc. can't wait to smother those little cheeks with kisses! :)
i just couldn't resist closing with my beautiful plant.... :)

have a nice evening!

just some random

stuff today....well,not just today,i do that alot, i know! :) this little outfit is for kaylie from my dear friend vicki,she is so thoughtful and my little sweet pea will look so cute in her "sweetpea" outfit! i love that vic found this for her. many pictures of kaylie to come,in this little pink number. saturday morning moment with kaylie and her papa. i just love this picture....
i say she is going to play the piano and her daddy says the guitar! how about both,that would be so cool! look at how long and elegant her fingers are! can a five week old baby have elegant fingers? :)
