Flowers Make Me Happy

Last weekend I went down to Ozark to spend time with my mom. She owns a nursery and I told her I would trade her labor for some plants. :) These pictures were taken with my iPhone and do not do the flowers justice!

Sunday I came back to Fayetteville with a car load of plants so I spent the afternoon planting my flowerbeds and pots.

This past week Mike has been out of town for work. It's been so strange not having him around. I've missed him and the routine that we have. He comes home tonight and I can hardly wait to have him back!

Low Key Weekend

Our weekend was very low key. I had to work Saturday so we had a quite night at the house Friday night. Saturday night I went to a friends bachelorette party. We all met at La Huerta for dinner and drinks and then headed to a friends house for cake, presents, and more drinks! The girls had the house decorated so cute and we had a great time playing games!

The only group picture I got!

Easter Weekend

Friday night it was rainy here in NWA, so Mike and I decided to get take out, rent movies and stay in for the night. We rented Brothers and Where the Wild Things Are. They were both very good!

Saturday we headed to Baum Stadium to watch the HOGS play Kentucky. It was a beautiful day and the Razorbacks won 10-1! We were in the outfield for about 5 hours without ANY sunscreen- we're both bright red and hurting! Angie and Austin- the newly engaged couple! Congrats!

Angie moved away from NWA last Spring so I haven't seen her in forever! It was so fun to get caught up and hear all the wedding plans!

Mike and I- SO SUNBURNED!Easter Sunday we woke up and found that the Easter bunny had left us some Cadbury eggs. Yummy! It was another beautiful day so I spent the day outside in my flowerbeds while Mike got all his softball gear rounded up and organized. League play starts this week!

Mike's 30th Birthday Weekend

We had a great weekend celebrating Mike's 30th birthday!

Friday we went to the Razorback baseball game. It was a little chilly with the wind but it didn't stop us from cheering on the HOGS to a victory.

Beautiful Baum Stadium! Mike and I enjoying the game!

HOGS WIN!Ribby!

After the game we met some friends at Foghorns to celebrate the win!

Saturday I baked Mike's cake and got caught up on some housework while Mike watched basketball and took a nap. That night we went to dinner at Louie's sports bar. There were about 15 of us. I'm sad I didn't get a picture of the group. The boys watched the basketball games while us girls gossiped! :) We ended the night at Hutches playing pool.

Sunday was Mike's birthday so for lunch we ate at his all time favorite restaurant Hunan Manor and spent the rest of the day relaxing!

It was a great weekend!

Happy 30th Birthday Mike!

Catching Up

Last Saturday afternoon we spent the day at Baum Stadium watching the HOGS play.

After the game, I headed up to Bentonville for Lorelia's FIRST birthday party! Crystal had the house decorated so cute, there was great food, LJ got lots of cute gifts, and I enjoyed visiting with everyone. I wish I could spend more time with these two girls. I sure do miss them.

Me, LJ, and Crystal

That night I had a girls night with Abbe and Kristin. We went to the Stoney LaRue concert at George's and had a blast!

Mike and the guys are playing poker tonight so I'm spending the night watching girly movies and doing a little homework.

That sums up our last two weekends!

p.s. spring break couldn't get here fast enough!

We met some friends at Fast Lanes and bowled a couple of games but had to leave early since we had dinner reservations at Crabby's.

Dinner was AMAZING!

We had a great day! I'm so lucky to have Mike as my Valentine.
