Easter

This year, Easter was way more exciting for Lyla. She didn't fully get it still, but she was more engaged. We did an egg hunt on Saturday morning and it was complete with a bunny, a fire truck and eggs to "hunt" for. Lyla found a couple of eggs but she didn't really understand what to do so it was kind of fun just to go with the flow.



On Easter morning me had a little basket for Lyla and she was really excited once she saw it. We also hid some eggs in the yard for her and she figured that our pretty quick after having a practice round the day before. Overall it was cute to watch her expereince everything. Each holiday keeps getting better and better because Lyla starts to understand it more.




This was a little game of post egg hunt dress up. Mind you, I had the same thing tied on my head as we played. Too funny.

So many things...

So many new things have happened lately. Things have been good and despite the 28 days of straight rain, we have been super busy with projects and fun trips and new business ventures. Plus our sweet little Lyla has magically grown into this charming sweet little girl that says "arf" to all dogs, loves being outside and has just discovered that spinning in circles in the most scary and exciting and hilarious thing ever.

I took a trip up to Orcas for a few days with my friend Bianc and her fam. It was a much needed trip for me. I love Orcas Island. The place is peaceful. I have no doubt we will have our own little piece of that island one day. For now, I have to settle for every little chance we get to sneak back.



We have also been refinishing a few pieces of furniture which I will post soon. We also started a mini remodel on our bedroom. New paint color, diy headboard, shutters and a little closest organization. We are half way through- pictures will come soon.

I am super excited about a fun little business project Matt and I have together. We are going to be selling milkshakes at two different farmers' markets this summer. Our business is called Moo Shakes and we will feature 11 different flavors such as the standards of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry but we will also have raspberry, blackberry, peach, chocolate malt, cinnammon, honey lavender, banana and coffee. Most of our products will be local and as fresh as possible. These are gonna be some tasty milkshakes. I'm feeling good about this and we have some cool ideas in motion to make this work. We start May 22nd.

We were up visiting our friends Lynsey and Ryan and their darling little girl Lula this past weekend. She is also 16 months old so it was really fun to watch her and Lyla play together. We also had a fantastic day at the zoo. So nice to hang out with good friends.
