For his birthday dinner, he chose one of our favorite Mexican restaurants because he wanted to "wear that big hat while they sing to me".


Today was pretty special because well......he is.

One of their favorites...those little halos...and the big kid can peel them all by himself.  

Can we say garbage can? 

He is...

every penny I tossed in a well, every shooting star I watched go by, and every prayer I prayed answered...

on the brink of seven (only two more rings to tear off of the paper chain we made together a few weeks back to count down the number of days until this birthday).


Gah time flies when dreams comes true!

This weekend we started giving our backyard a much-needed makeover.

It isn't the biggest of backyards to begin with, yet the original landscaping included two huuuuge bush beds - one on either side of our patio - and because we need all the real estate we can get back there, we completely took out everything on the right side of the patio and half of the left.


All hands were on deck - including Parker's. Even "his" help is helpful when it involves manual labor. It is absolutely no joke.


One step down...many to go.

I call it...white glitter.

The snow we got last Wednesday just wasn't the same. It did stick. But it was mostly rain and ice and well now I think we've been spoiled by the powder that fell two weeks ago. It looked like we had landed in Park City. Minus the mountains.

It was pretty spectacular.




By the way, I'm spreading these babies out because this may be all we see until this time next year.

It's really coming down out there.
