spring break baby

i love spring break!!! it is supposed to be a time to relax and enjoy yourself...but i love filling it with different things to do and make.

mason and i just got back from taking pam (my mother in law) to nashville to meet with my father in law.  she came and stayed with us for a week and watched mason while we worked. we drove up sunday morning and met at the opry land mall. :)

did i mention i HATE car rides? i forgot my camera on this trip but i had my phone! :)

heading to nashville

Mason pretending he doesn't care he is in a pink stroller.

i also HATE traffic

this is how fast we were going on i-65

we are back to KENTUCKY!

after we got back to nana and papaw's house, the next day we left for cincinnati! 



we went to the hotel first and then went out to eat. after that we went back to the hotel to swim in the pool!

my papaw loves maps...i prefer gps!

the air conditioner became a babysitter...

he loved the air blowing on him.

Nana and Papaw!

he hated being in the pool...

but loved watching from the side. :)

ending the day with a giant hamburger!

we had a great time at the zoo! i think next time we will take a shorter trip to the louisville zoo to see the animals.  cincinnati zoo was great but there was a lot of walking for the few animals we did see.  the girls and mason both had fun and to me that is what matters.

jewelry

wow!! its been a while since I have blogged. do you want to know what I was doing???

i was making jewelry for one of my friends!

she wanted new jewelry to go with all of her new spring break outfits. she sent me the pictures of her new clothes and i got to work!!!

i really enjoyed making it all for her!

i started making jewelry right before christmas. i went to a holiday bizarre with my sis in law and friend. i bought a bracelet there that I loved. my sis in law told me that i could make it very easily...so i did!!!


since then i have made a lot of different pieces and really love it!!! i have a few pieces on etsy...not even close to how many pieces i have.

i'm a blogger!!

I have been wanting to start my own blog for a while now, but I just haven't had the time! Between grad school, work, creating our school yearbook, being a wife and mommy, and trying to complete as many Pinterest projects as I possibly can....I HAVE NO TIME!!! :)  Now that I am finally done with my grad classes for right now and the yearbook shipping out today, I have managed to find the time to create a blog after my little monster has gone to sleep.

I am so excited about starting a blog and sharing all of the things we do and make with everyone! You will realize very quickly that I use way too many exclamation marks and smiley faces! :)

Well that is it for my first blog.  Not much I know, but more will come. :)
