christmas came early... or mother's day came late, you choose.

i have already mentioned that may is officially my favorite month. we've got birthdays & mother's day & our wedding anniversary too! lots of celebrating & i'm all about that. my mother's day gift was a little late coming in the mail, so it was like christmas morning when it came a few days later & i was able to wake up to both husband coming home from a trip & a tiny little box. it was like a-whole-nother holiday.

what was inside?

only the most beautiful rings i had been wanting since before we had abel. he's going on 4 months on the 25th, so these little pretties were such a delight to open! thank you husband for making every detail of my life wonderful. every day i get to spend with you is the best day ever & you've really outdone yourself in the "making me feel like the best mommy & wife in history" department. you acknowledging that means so much to me & i am so happy to have you to love everyday. 

our life together is my favorite thing. 

(**sidenote** i actually wear these rings on my right ring finger, but i'm seriously challenged when trying to take pictures with the left hand... so, for photos sake, left hand it was. also, you can get rings like these here. happy friday!)

why instagram is the best.

i mean… do i really need to even explain it? no. you know. but i will give you a couple reasons…

1) it’s there when your big camera isn’t quick enough, making absolutely sure you don’t miss a moment.

2) ummm… filters? can i just say, thanks to instagram & it’s filters… a few pictures where my face has gone wrong, instagram made it right.

see, a couple.

thank you instagram, you’re the best.

it’s farmer’s market season!

over the weekend we went to our first farmer's market of the season!

woohoo for spring! i think colorado has finally figured out that it's spring, because since the big snow on may day, we've had nothing but warm sunshine & some rain. so that has been nice! talk to me in a few weeks and i'll be ready for fall again, but for the time being, i am enjoying the warmth!

i. love. the farmer's market.

& i especially love going with people who enjoy it just as much as i do & take it all in. by that i mean, sample everything that's offered, take a million pictures & buy atleast 2 or 3 goodies to take home.

i went with the right people.

i love family outings, and the fact that i am here in colorado having the opportunity to have family outings with more than just my little family of three, but with my parents & siblings too.... well it's just awesome. we are so excited to explore fort collins this summer! it's our first summer home in three years! should be fun... happy wednesday!
