oh my sugar eyes surprise

in all the many things that bring people together, there is nothing in this world that does it like good food. oh and do i love food, especially my sweets! and the lovelies combo is made when you pair the best of people with the most delectable food.

this weekend was no exception in that matter. 

it was one of those weekends where i had the phrases this is a good day and i'm the luckiest running through my mind on repeat. 

consisting of only the best people. people that i hold so dearly to my heart. besties who live far away and cousins who are all grown up. i had the giggles so badly i could hardly breathe. if there is one thing that i've learned, especially since being married, it is how lucky i am to have the most amazing people enrich my life. 

at the end of the weekend it was so refreshing to look back on the past few days and smile because it was a good weekend, it truly was. now back to reality, sigh. 

a little easter

much overdue.

but that seems to be the story with me and photos. 

my mom's mom, grandma k adores easter

major understatement. 

it's an easter party not to miss. 

eggs filled with dollar bills as well as easter baskets with mustaches and other knick knacks  

what could be better? 

other highlights: 

visiting lots of family all the weekend long, 

me staying to dye easter eggs with all the little ones, and

discovering that the easter bunny still delivers to marrieds.

(thanks mom!) 

cheers

i don't drink

but if i did

i would be toasting to the weekend

why do some weeks seem to drag on and on and on and on? 

for me, this week was on of those weekends. 

so 

"cheers to the weekend" 

i hope you have lovely plans in store. 

we don't have anything exciting in particular, especially with the dreary weather. 

but sister comes home tomorrow and i'm counting down the hours. 

this is the longest we've ever been apart. 

and that is saying a lot.

yay to sister club. 

happy friday! 

be merry

last game of the season

we kind of can't believe that the regular season of football is over. 

this means that winter really is just around the corner. 

luckily we have so many things to look forward to!

(for one, it's birthday week for husband!)

cook family took a family xmas card picture before the game on the field. 

it was fun to be down there during the excitement and to say hello to some of jake's old fb buddies. 

dear: dad's little surprises

for those of you who know my dad, he always has something up his sleeve. i love it, his surprises are always the best. last monday for fhe (family home evening) he took us to the miller race park to go kart. i was so nervous, jake was ecstatic, and in the end we had more fun then imagined. we are so lucky to a. have the best families in the world and b. have them so close to us. they make life what it is!

thanks dad, xo.
