This post is mostly just a picture dump, but it is the best I can do for an update on our life lately.
Tad and I changed the hook shelf in the entry up for St. Patrick's Day.
I am finally making good on my promise to share a picture of the finished fireplace now that it is decorated. I love this simple look.
Here is a closer (if blurry) look at the decor. I looked high and low for those candlesticks and was so happy when I found them at HomeGoods. I still smile every time I look at them. I realize the picture is a little fallish. I am working on some things to hang up there during the other seasons.
The vases with the branches are HUGE! Since this fireplace is sooooo tall, it really needed something with some height, so these fit the bill.
Just so you can have a frame of reference for how tall they are, I stood Tad next to one of them. Tad is six years old, and they are taller than he is!
We surprised Drake with a new bike. His old one was way too little, so he was excited to get this. He is loving riding to and from school every day, and just going out and taking a little ride around the neighborhood every now and then.
Tad and I decorated the hook shelf for Easter. I took down the Easter egg bunting after Easter, but the rest of it is still the same for now. I figure it is appropriate for Spring.
I also treated myself to these pretty Easter tulips. I love Spring flowers, and these were such a cheery addition to my dining room.
Just a candid shot of the boys opening up their Easter eggs.
Finally a picture of my two oldest in their track uniforms. I snapped this picture really quickly at the meet last week, so it isn't the best. Hopefully I will get a better one at the next home track meet.
Dallin gets a striped uniform because his wins last year helped the Jr. High track team take the Championship.
That is it for now. It has been busy but fun around here!
