random goodies

Warm- and warmish weather really brings our family to life.  I feel like a new person when we can just get out side and play.  Here are a few random goodies from lately.
-Grandma and Grandpa Allen are leaving on one of their adventures for the next 3 weeks, missing mothers day and Karlee's birthday.  So we went up and visited with them before they left.
Karlee picked out a fat elephant with dangling legs, and Zane picked a sparkly rock to give to Grandma Allen for mothers day.
They gave Karlee her birthday present since they were not going to be here... and we played with it for a while in their back yard.  Its a bubble fan.

The other day I stopped by DI, to see if there were any good finds.  I found one of my favorite friends, Kenzie and a couple of night stands.  Kenzie was there doing the same thing.  Great minds think a like.  Anyway, for $15 I got some awesome night stands (super ugly).
I hurried home and refinished 1 of them before Allen got home from work.  I knew I had to or they would go straight to the garbage.  Turns out he loves them just as much as I do.

After!!!!  I love the blue.  They will be so cute in our bedroom.  Now i just need to put the handles back on and paint the other one.

My sassy Diva.

Karlee is such a girly girl.  Diva is her middle name.  No, its Montana, but it should be Diva.

Fancy nails, cheetah flats, and putting on a concert in her bedroom for her barbies.

HAP HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Last week was an entire week of celebrating Allens 26th birthday.  He doesnt ever really mention his birthday too much so I always try to make it a big deal.  Because it IS a big deal.  I love him and I love celebrating that he was born!!!
We went out to dinner, a movie, shopping, to the gym ( he made me go with him at 9am on his birthday?)  he wanted to buy some tree's for the back yard, went to Park City for Sunday brunch at Stein Erickson Lodge, and just spent lots of time together as a family.  I love my husband and I am so proud to be his wife.  He is a great example to me and our kids.  He loves us and takes good care of us.  I love to tease him about getting old, but truth is.. I love him more every day and he just keeps getting sexier with age.
This week he was told by different people that he looked like, Abraham Lincoln, and .... oh shoot I cant remember the second one but it was some other tall dark haired, bearded person from a long time ago. Whoever it was, people just love Allens beard.  So do I.

PS- Allen is not a fan of cake, or sweets really at all.  So there was no birthday cake.  (dont tell anyone but I saw him eat a piece of cake while we were at Stein Erickson)
Karlee probably doesn't even really believe that it was his birthday.  Birthdays are nothing with out cake for that girl.

Zane and Baby Buffulo

Karlee talking to the baby goats " Hi little goats, whats your name?"

One of our Tree's we picked out. 

BB Bunny

About a week ago my dad took Karlee and Zane to Spero's farm to see the baby bunnies. And then we came home with one.

I know I have a history of bringing strange animals home (baby chicks) but who doesn't love a tiny fluffy baby bunny. We named her/him Cinabun!
