30 years

Whelp, today I turned 30 years old. 30. 3-0.

30 sounds old.

I don't feel like I'm 30.

30 sounds like I am officially an adult. Really, I feel like I should still be in college... Like I'm 24.

I'm not sure where the last 6 years went. Okay, I do know where they went...they just went by too fast!

I got engaged to my high school sweetheart, we built our first house, we got married, we had our daughter, we moved and built our second house, and we had our son.

Wow, that's a lot of craziness in just a few short years. But they have been the best years of my life.

I love more than I ever thought possible and my heart is so full!

I am lucky that I have such great family and friends!

Colson's First Haircut

Well, we finally bit the bullet and got Colson's hair cut. :o) Mind you, Hannah's first haircut was 4 months ago, so it was a little hard to cut off his cut curly locks.

We picked a kids only place...thought it might ease him into the whole hair cutting thing. They had movies playing and Colson sat in a police car. All-in-all, I was rather unimpressed. The girl who cut his hair seemed a little off.  ???  I had to trim a few spots at home because she just didn't do all that great of a job. I don't know...maybe I'm too picky or too much of a perfectionist. I just wasn't impressed with the place.

So, was it worth taking him to a kids only place? Not really. We won't be back.

With the being said...
Colson did great. He didn't seem to mind that some stranger was messing with him.

Here is his hair before she started cutting it. It was a bit long, wasn't it!?





Towards the end, he got a little antsy. How many times can you press the only button on the police car that still makes any sound?

And here is our big boy...enjoying some 'after haircut french fries'. As you can see, we kept the length in the front but just tapered the back.
They gave us his curly locks in a bag for his baby book...for an extra $2. Seriously? But oh, we got a certificate and a photo too...because, you know, I didn't just spend the whole time taking my own photos.
I'm glad we finally got it cut though. It was time. While I miss his cute little curls, I do like it shorter. It definitely makes him look older and he won't get the car seat rats nest on the back of his head anymore.

Fun Finds!

We're having a big Memorial Day Party/ My *gasp* 30th Birthday Party this Sunday and I am going to make this! Fun and festive!




I am obsessed with paint chip wall art. I have paint chips in my office above my sewing table but this would look super cute in Hannah's room!




Speaking of Hannah's room--I love this bed. This might be the one we get!




We desperately need a larger kitchen table. I think it would be fun to make a new top!




Love this!




Made this for a party and it was delicious! Super easy to make too so I think I will make it again for the party on Sunday.




I need to chalkboard something! I love the ornate frames with these chalkboards! Or maybe I'll just wait until our basement is finished and chalkboard a whole wall--for the kiddos of course...definitely not so I can doodle! :oP




Hannah always loves the crayons she gets at restaurants so why not make a nice travel case for crayons and paper. I have tons of dvd cases so this is a definite must do! Soon! :o)
