My cutie pie

Happy Anniversary to us!

Brian and I have made it to the 3 year mark! It's unreal how much has changed since we've been together these five years, but it's been a lot of fun. I am so thankful for Brian and I just don't know what I would do without him. To celebrate, we went out for dinner on Saturday night to Maggiano's since Brian had class last night, and it was really nice. Then, yesterday Emma and I met Brian for lunch so we could at least have one meal together on the actual day. We usually don't exchange much of a gift for this since we go somewhere nice for dinner, but MUCH to my surprise, he came home last night holding a little jewelry box with diamond earrings inside!! I did not see it coming at ALL! They are gorgeous and I am so excited about wearing them! Unfortunately, I don't think they mix well with housework, so I am holding out for a more appropriate opportunity. Anyway, that's that. I just thought I would brag on my super sweet husband! I have no pictures to offer you. When I finally get a chance to wear them, I will post a picture.

Yesterday was Avalyn's bday party at the park, and these are some cute shots of the munchkin at said party =).









And a Bonus: my headboard!!!

Big Shocker

This made my day! I found the link from this website, and I must say I have been very impressed by it. You can get a link to it on your google webpage if you have one.

Okay Okay

So I've been a little busy lately. I suppose it's time to update.

It's pollen season! My favorite time of year! People will often remark on how gorgeous spring is, and how it's their favorite season. I am afraid that I cannot share this sentiment. I never used to have pollen problems, but when I got to high school it really started bothering me. I take Bee Pollen to help, but this year it doesn't seem to be doing much. I will take ANY suggestions for something to help. This sadly means that I cannot really go outside much either. Oh well. Come end of April Emma and I can venture outdoors again. Until then, you'll find me laying on my couch staving off the sinus headaches. Joy. I did discover today that I can wash my pillows! Why does this make me so happy, you might ask? Because I always thought I had to throw away my pillow after a certain while, and this means I don't have to. I can sleep on a dustless, pollenless pillow! The things that make me happy...

Oh and speaking of things that make me happy, I have discovered the Mr Clean Eraser Mop and Unscented Oust. The mop is phenomenal. I can now clean my floors with a mr clean eraser and not have to be down on my hands and knees to do so. I am a big fan! And so is Brian, because I seem to be obsessed with mopping now. As for the Oust, it really does get rid of any odor without leaving some nasty fake scent. It doesn't mask, it actually takes it away. If they can sell it in unscented then it must really work, and believe me it does. Oh and it's bogo at publix this week =).

Emma is doing marvelously. I have discovered that she really doesn't like fruit, but she LOVES veggies. Not a bad thing, but quite funny. I make her asparagus, carrot, and zucchini purees and she LOVES it. We have also now gone a whole week without butternut squash and I am dancing for joy! She is also quite mobile now, as she has realized the extent of what crawling means for her. This also keeps me on my toes, but it's fun. She pulls up all the time and stands only holding on with one hand and she is starting to get the idea of walking. I don't think it will be very long until we hit that milestone, and it makes me want to cry! She is also talking in vowels and consonants, e.g. dadada, lalala. It's really sweet. She just babbles away to herself as she crawls around playing, and it's adorable!

Brian is on spring break this week, and he has been home every night. It's been really nice to have him around, and it's been a great week for him to recharge. Next week he's back at it, but in a few short weeks he'll get Geneva's spring break too, so that will be really nice as well.

Well, it's my day off from all babysitting I do, so I am going to go take advantage by not going outside! Hmm..Maybe it's time to go to the mall! Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week!
As for the pictures, I just couldn't help myself!

Too cute!
