Beautiful bright light...

And just when you think things aren't working out and your days seem hectic remember... At the end of the tunnel there you will see that beautiful bright light . I've taken a short blogging break.-One that I feel I needed. Of course days are still hectic, but that's life! Today we all got to see that beautiful bright light. Today I had my very first ultrasound after having to reschedule. I'm currently 20 weeks and my due date is set for September 16th.  I'm happy to announce that we are expecting our 2nd sweet little princess.  We were so very excited to see our little beauty. -Our daughter has already made plans to sit and enjoy some tea when her little sister arrives. Today we enjoyed the beautiful bright light and embraced every minute of it. “Where there is love there is life.”  ―  Mahatma Gandhi

Life. A mixture of all things.

Oh, the days. -They seem rather busy. Sometimes long, it all depends on the day.  The weather has been warm and we are enjoying more hikes out in nature. I always welcome rain with a smile. -My plants and grass get watered. And the smell of rain is so refreshing.  Easter Sunday, we all enjoyed. Morning service at church and I put together a simple, yet fun Easter basket for our daughter.   I haven't been on much for blogging and I may actually take a short break.  Of course, busy days can turn hectic. I recently broke my camera. I was pretty devastated. I think I may have shed a few tears.  I'm currently looking for a new one. The morning of my ultrasound- we headed out and our truck stopped working. It would only drive in reverse.  Of course, my husband had it all under control. We missed my appointment and had to reschedule for the following week. -I did cry. I must admit I've been so emotional with this pregnancy. This would ha

Observing, exploring and learning together

Our daughter loves learning and exploring. Recently she planted her very own starter garden. She planted a few seeds, cilantro, tomatoes, and strawberries. Together we watered her seeds and made sure they were getting enough sun during the day. Each day we observed and recently her strawberry seed sprouted. -She's been excited. We continue to observe and take notes.  {Planting cilantro seeds} {Some water for her seeds} {Her strawberry seed sprouted} Recently we worked on a little experiment together.  {Fireworks in a jar} -1 tablespoon of oil -A few drops of food coloring. (Using a few different colors) -1 jar of water Mix food coloring with oil, then add to water. Observe and watch to see what happens when it is combined with the water. Learning about butterflies.  We have been learning about the different types of butterflies. Exploring shapes, colors, and wing sizes.  What have you all been up to? Are to ob

Simple Days.

Simple  days are here. I enjoy the morning sunlight. The taste of grapefruit-these days I'm finding it delicious. Caring for my indoor plants has been enjoyable. Hanging laundry out when the sun is out and enjoying the cool breeze coming through an open window. Our daughter playing peacefully. My husband reading a good book. -I'm sure these are simple days and I'm enjoying them very much. Preparing my garden, watering our lawn, and birds chirping.-Spring is here and I've waited long enough. The nights are still chilly, but it's okay. -With warmer days ahead I'm one happy camper! Simple  days.-Iced lemonade, fresh watermelon blended, and food on the grill. -I'm happy and I hope the same goes for you. I wear my lulla belly belt so our little one can listen to music. I put my feet up, relax and sometimes even fall asleep while playing music for this baby in my tummy. It may not hear just yet, but we're always hap

A sweet celebration.

A daughter is a day brightener and a heart warmer.  ~Author Unknown This weekend led up to our daughter's 3rd birthday. We spent our time finishing up plans and discussing how we would spend her special day. On Sunday we opened presents early. I spent time in the kitchen baking her birthday cake. - Strawberry cake with strawberry whipped topping. - It was a hit! We presented her cake a day early since our plan was to take her to the Denver aquarium on Monday. We sang happy birthday and she blew out her candles. It was simple and sweet. I may have cried a little. Just the thought of knowing my little girl is growing, it saddens me a little. I've been embracing each day, each moment I spend with her. She blew out her candles and we shouted hooray! I'll hold on to these moments for as long as I live. April 7, 2014,  -Happy birthday sweet baby girl! (Of course, she will always be my baby). Our families called, wished our daughter a happy birthday and we

April: sunshine, a little snow and a sweet strawberry banana ice cream recipe

“I glanced out the window at the signs of spring. The sky was almost blue, the trees were almost budding, the sun was almost bright.”  ―  Millard Kaufman ,  Bowl of Cherries ( sweet strawberry banana ice cream recipe at bottom of post) So far April has brought us some sunshine and snow. The snow didn't stick around for too long. This afternoon it all melted away. We're thankful that it did. -I'm so ready for actual spring weather. I just want to dip my toes in some cold water and sit out enjoying the breezy afternoon weather. We absolutely love sitting out back on our porch. We enjoy grilling, reading, bubble blowing and just relaxing out there. -It's all just so lovely.  Today I enjoyed my time indoors with my daughter. We played with legos, snacked on peanuts, ate sweet watermelon, and watched one of her favorite books on DVD. -A Snowy Day. It was perfect for the kind of weather we were experiencing. She hasn't stopped reminding me about
