So Rexburg's not too bad....

These past few weeks have been great here with wonderful weather! We have been having so much time hanging out outside in the sun! Niko is getting himself a little tan, and I'm finally turning brown again! Niko's been hanging out in his wading pool, which he loves and just loves the sun! Our family has been going on plenty of walks, bike rides, and going on trips to the park. I was able to go on my first stroller walk with another "mommy" that I met in one of my classes last semester, and Rexburg kept things interesting by turning a beautiful sunny day into a pouring down shower! We had to pull over on our walk and wait for the rain to at least turn into a drizzle. I felt so sorry for Erica's little 1 month old, but he didn't even wake up, thanks to his amazing stroller! Our family also discovered that Smith park (which is easily less than a 10 min walk) has concerts on Thursday nights. We went this thursday and heard a few fun groups. It was hard to keep Niko from crawling over to other people's blankets though and we had a swarm of little kids coming over to us to check out Gizmo. Then, Friday we went to the block party and had ourselves some good bbq hamburgers! Oh, and Friday night entertainment consisted of a huge thunder and lightning number! The whole sky was lit up like a big light show. Who needs fireworks? Rexburg has definitely been proving to me that it's not too bad. While the winter and spring could definitely use some improvements, summer has been so nice! Plus, Rexburg will be starting contruction on a fun outdoor pool/play park in 2 weeks, so next summer we should have a pool to enjoy as well!

New Family Member

We added a new addition to our family. No, not another child! We added Gizmo, a little yorkshire terrier. I found him on craigslist and what a lucky find! He is 7 wks old, weighs 2 pounds, and is the sweetest thing ever. Him and Niko are already little friends. They were chasing each other this morning, and Niko has been very gentle. We love our little puppy!

And the results are in....Success!

I threw my first headband party ever, and it was a success! I got a small group of girls come and check out my headbands and quite a few made special orders for headbands! It's not the sales that I enjoy most, but I absolutely LOVE seeing people get excited about something I made! Oh, and I also love to go about the community and see someone wearing one at the store, or on campus. With the help of friends who encouraged me to do this and helped talk to people to help me advertise I was able to have a great time and definitely want to throw another one in the future!

Having a Bad Day?

If you are having a bad day, or if you ever have "one of those days...sigh" just look at this picture of Niko taken today. I just smile so big and laugh when I see this picture. Hope this makes you smile and have a WONDERFUL day!
