Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mothers Day to all you Moms out there. I hope you all had as wonderful  and relaxing of a day as I did.  Our household has been very sick over the last few weeks.  That is one the reasons I have not been posting lately, plus I've had a few job interviews and am in the process of renewing my RT certification.  Besides that, I'm so feeling the love this Mothers Day.  How about you?

Even in the middle of my hubby and daughter being sick they were able to find time to take a trip to the ceramic store and make these.  Aren't they just the cutest?

Me and my daughter showing off her work of art this morning.  "I love you too, Bunny!" Please excuse the morning hair and no make up.  My girl always looks lovely no matter what the time of day.

And my beautiful, funny, whacky girl...who has made my life so wonderful and fun the last 7 and a half years.  She makes me laugh and smile more than anyone, next to my husband.  It is such privilege to be her mommy.
     

Lexi's Birthday Gift...

One thing about our daughter is she is definitely the most amazing and special thing that Brian and I share.  We feel so fortunate to have her as part of our lives so we both try to give her the childhood we could have only dreamed of.  Taking a look back at many of the things we have done,  she is definitely one lucky girl, but not nearly as lucky as we are to have her.  As a wife to such a wonderful guy, and a mommy to such an angel,  I am definitely the most lucky gal in world.  

So, for her 7th Birthday we surprised her with concert tickets to go see her favorite musician. Mommy feels very lucky because it is one of her favorite artists too.

It was so fun to plan and prepare a very special way to tell her. To begin with, we picked her up from school with our car decorated.  With all these hints, she still had no clue about her gift...

Sparks Fly.... Enchanted.. Best Day... any guesses yet?

Picture to Burn...  Love Story...  TS Bound...

We had way too much fun decorating...

and Brian designed the cake.

Tickets for all three of us to share the experience of Lexi's first concert.

Lexi was ecstatic with her birthday gift and counted down the days before the concert. The concert itself was one of the best ones we have ever seen and was an experience we will never forget.  That will definitely be another post to share.

   

We Heart SafeSplash Swim School..

For a few months our girl, Lexi has been attending swim class at SafeSplash Swim School.  We were going to the Rec Center and she just was not making the progress we were hoping for.  After we were told she needed to repeat the same class more than once we started searching for other options. We were introduced to SafeSplash when she attended one of her friends birthday parties there.  Since then we were hooked.  At this point, after a few months "she can swim!"  I say this with so much excitement.  She still has progress to make but wow what a difference.  We feel so much more secure when we are at the pool with her.  I no longer have that panic I used to have when she would head to the deeper water.

I know this is blurry picture, but I just wanted to show the smile she has on her face when she's swimming.  It doesn't go away. Before she had a hard time getting her face and hair wet.

She loves SafeSplash and so do we.

A few weeks ago she received her first ribbon.  We are so proud of her!  We were told by her instructor she is ready to test for her next ribbon in the next week or two.  Yeah to SafeSplash!!

   

Another Boulder Walk...

I was going through my pictures and ran across these.  We are so lucky to have such wonderful family in Boulder, CO with a home that backs up to open space.  These pictures were taken Thanksgiving day after dinner.  It has become a tradition for us to go for a walk together.

My most favorite girl in the entire world, my daughter enjoying the fresh air.
