Lovely and White: June 2014

Exciting weekend celebrating Bren's first official fathers day. The only bummer is it was really cold today but we are hoping it warms up tomorrow and we make it down to the pool. Life has been good, we met some new awesome neighbors, had Sara's baby shower and they had their baby Mr. Kaylor.
Our big project for this summer has been redoing our gardens. When we moved into the house almost 2 years ago the front garden was nice but it just wasn't my exact pick of flowers. My mothers day gift was putting the edging in and redoing the whole front garden. We had some wonderful help from our amazing friend Steve who helped me make a layout of what to plant where. After we put in the edging came the fun job of digging all of the bulbs and everything else out. When that was done I did the planting in two stages, the first with what was available and this weekend with what was remaining. I finished up today and am really excited for what it looks like right now but also what it will look like next year since I pretty much planted all perennials. What is left is our rocky terrain and putting in some nesting spruces and succulents, the side garden with some peonies and hasta and finally the backyard to plant a tree and some yummy flowering shrubs. Hoping to get it all down this summer but if not we can work for next summer too!
Quinn has been great he will be 5 months tomorrow. He is a big boy in all 6-9 month clothing, holding his bottle and rolling all over the place. I have a feeling that in the next 3 weeks he will be crawling since he keeps doing the rump in the air wiggling forward motion. It really does just get better and better. He helped me with Fathers day cards and got his daddy a good new book. We have been celebrating a little all weekend.
Sara's baby shower went great, Lexi flew to town and co hosted it with me. Despite me not feeling 100%, everything went wonderful. Our timing could not have been better since Sara had Kaylor less then a week later.
We got a bike trailer that Quinn can ride in behind my road bike. We had it out last weekend and it was a lot of fun. It was really nice to be able to ride with Brendan. Up to this point anytime we went to the park we took turns riding and running with the stroller. Some great summer weeks and weekends ahead. Uncle Brian and Carmen are coming out for the fourth to meet Quinn and spend time with us. All is good!
