The updating continues... I have been fortunate to have many visits with this sweet boy!

 The hubby and I have gotten to do some traveling in our little airplane the last 4 weeks.

 We had the chance to fly to Southern Colorado, for a family reunion.

 As you can see, I spend most of my time taking pictures from the air =)

 It calms my nerves.

 My mom lives in Pagosa Springs Colorado, where we all convened for a fun long weekend together.

 Liam received his first haircut from me while we were there.

Our reunions are pretty small, so we try to get a group photo while we are all together. My nephew Cooper took these! He did an awesome job!

 We also celebrated Liams 1st Birthday! My stepdad has a small train and tracks that go around their yard, so he took all the kids for rides!

 Leaving Pagosa Springs the air was full of smoke from several wild fires.

 Somewhere near Moab Utah

 Getting close to home.

 It was a fun 10 days, but glad to be home.

 Koko still doesn't really like to fly much. Ha!

 We were home for a few days then headed to Reno for a few days for Liams official 1st Birthday party!

 Mimi and papa bought him a sand box! I think he likes it =)

 Genna did an awesome job preparing for the party! She even made Liams cake (the block) and cupcakes!

 Liam ate his cake so delicately it was adorable.

Uncle Adam came too!

Then we headed for home sweet home =)

I spent Friday afternoon crafting in the cottage! I had a couple wedding gifts to make!

One of my favorite gifts to give at a wedding is to frame the wedding invitation. I have been doing this for probably 20 years. A friend of mine framed my wedding invitation for me =)

The above wedding invitation is for one of my nieces. It was fun to create a card to match! I wish I was going to get to go to their wedding... it is on a ranch, with cowboy boots... LOVE!

This one is for a friend who is getting married in September, it was really hard to photograph with the darker paper behind it.

The little white flowers are one of my favorite decorations to use for weddings, they are a shimmery white, I add a little rhinestone in the center. Simple and elegant.

Another cute little card to match!

Daffodils, hiking and icecream

 I spent a week at the end of March visiting my grandson Liam. My friend Jessica made the bunny ear hat for him for Easter. So cute! Thank you again Jessica! He is growing so fast! (9 months old).

 Last Sunday was the beginning of our area Tulip Festival. I knew the tulips wouldn't be out yet, but since I had the day to spend with the hubby, I coaxed him to take me to see the daffodils :).

 They are beautiful!

 We've had quite a bit of rain/snow this spring. As you can see from the huge puddles!

 The sun decided to peak out while we were there so we decided on our way home, to take a hike at one of our favorite lakes. Squires Lake.

 It is up hill all the way! But it is a short hike, and is just gorgeous!

 It has been a while since we have been able to get out and enjoy the beauty of where we live, it was much needed!

 The payoff at the top of all that uphill climb!

 I little photo op on a bench near the lake before beginning the 1 mile hike around the lake.

 I am not sure what these are, I love them. They grow wild all around here. They have the sweetest smell!

 The hike around the lake takes you through more woods, streams and of course the lake.

 Last year when we hiked, this part of the trail was dirt, this year it is moss.

Afterwards, we headed home for some snowcrab, baked sweet potatoes and salad for dinner. Then decided to have sugar-free Black Cherry ice cream for dessert down in Fairhaven. YUM! It was a perfect day with my hubby.

Thanks for stopping by today!
