May Update

So far May has been an amazing and incredible month! With concerts and birthdays...how could one go wrong? For my birthday, a lot of friends, Zach, and I went to Cafe' Ole' in downtown Boise to celebrate! After a couple margaritas and some tequila we headed to our favorite dance joint...THE BUFFALO CLUB!! Needless to say I did not want that night to end!

This past week was a little less exciting with Grace having Rotavirus:(. We spent most of our time either at home or at the Doctor's office. She is feeling much better though! With our next child we are definitely getting them vaccinated for this! She lost 1.5 pounds which is a lot when you are only 22 pounds.

This past weekend Zach and I finished a lot of yard projects and put together our first gazebo! We also went to the Carrie Underwood concert...thanks to the generosity of our good friends Ashley and Andrew...thank you! We actually met Ashley and Andrew this year during a sleigh ride dinner. I knew we would be instant friends because they were drinking our favorite wine, 14 Hands and Ashley was sporting a super cute Dooney bag. Needless to say we spend much of our time hanging out with these great people!

Mother's Day Weekend

This weekend my friend Monica, her sister Megan, and I took a road trip to Sun Valley, ID. We are all mothers so we thought it would be fun to take an overnight trip together. We had a great time shopping, eating, and just hanging out! The funny thing is, when you are away from your husband and children and you see a family together, you sure do miss them...even when you've only been gone 6 hours! It was nice, however, to get away from Boise for a couple of days and spend time with Monica and Megan! We hope to make this a yearly "Mom's Getaway Trip".

Today is Mother's Day and my brother-in-law, Logan's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!! Today Zach treated me to a trip to one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie! We also met Alan and Melanie for brunch at the Bungalow...mmmm! My mother's day gift this year from Zach and Grace was a cute new puppy that we are thinking of naming Hops! Wow...hopefully Skeeter has some coping mechanisms in place to deal with a new puppy!

Happy Mother's Day to all the fellow moms out there! You are all incredible! Thanks especially to my mom, Diane, and my mother-in-law, Melanie for always being there for me!!

Great Grandma & Grandpa Brown Visit

This past week we were fortunate enough to have Zach's grandparents, Wayne and Shirley, visit us in Boise. We had fun hanging out, shopping, and catching up. Gracie enjoyed her time with the Great Grandparents as well! The first day they were here, Shirley helped me watch our good friend's daughter Ziah while Wayne and Zach worked at Modern Staple, Inc. The rest of the week we spent our time with Alan and Melanie as well. We are so unbelievably blessed to have family like them!! Thank you for visiting us and helping us with Grace...you are always appreciated! We miss you!
