Full of joy.












Celebration// This weekend we celebrated my husband's birthday.-Simple and sweet.

Outdoor fun// We attended the PBS Fun Fest.- Performances, live music, food, booths, PBS characters and much more. It was fun for the whole family. :)

Enjoyed// An early Dinner at Salt Grass. I ordered a plate of baby back ribs.-I wasn't very hungry, but I'm glad my husband enjoyed his birthday dinner.
Later in the weekend we had two thunder storms. -Each storm produced hail and quite a bit of rain.

In the kitchen// I baked some delicious Coffee cupcakes topped with tiramisu and chocolate covered espresso coffee beans. My husband is a bit of a coffee lover.- I used decaf coffee for this recipe and it turned out great!
Covered coffee beans- purchased at World Market. Recipe for Coffee Cupcakes-Recipe.com

Home// After a long weekend, we enjoyed when our time was spent at home. Home is where I feel at peace. I enjoyed some time out in my garden. Replanting a few flowers and adding a new strawberry plant to my garden.

Together// This weekend was filled with so much joy. -Hugs, laughter and memories made. I can't wait for our little one in my tummy to join us. We are all  waiting patiently for her arrival. Together, we all enjoyed a weekend filled with love, joy and happiness.

    Looks like it was a very fun weekend for you and those cupcakes look wonderful! Yum! I wonder if they could be made with tea instead? Will coffee hurts my tummy now!

    The PBS festival is awesome!!!!! Wow I wish we had one here!

      Dina, it was tons of fun! You may actually have events there like this. Just do a search for your area and it may pop up! I'm sure you could replace the coffee with tea. We used decaf since I'm pregnant. I don't drink caffeinated drinks during pregnancy. :) I hope all is well with you friend.

    I always love your pictures. So professional looking. My husband is debating on applying to a job in Colorado. It always looks like such a gorgeous, neat place to live.

      Angela, thank you so much! Honestly I never thought I would love it here as much as I do. I was in Arizona before moving here and I must say this place has so much to do! I think you all would love it! -Especially if you all are outdoors kind of people. :)
