Just a Quiet Sunday



We finally had a beautiful Sunday! The sun was out, there was a light breeze the weather was in the upper 60's... it was GREAT. Matt, Zach and I did not let this day go to waste, we drove up to Happy Hollow for a little hike.
 Happy Hollows is about 15 minutes up Sugar Loaf Mt. in Roanoke. During the summer it absolutely breath taking. There is a small creek that runs through it along with benches and over-looks. The hike it's self is only about 30-45 minutes at most.
Zach was all over the place he loved it! He was pointing things out and talking about the sticks, mud, trees, rocks water, you name it. It was like he had never been outside before it was so much fun! At one point there was a couple who passes us on the trail & Zach said hello as they passed. When they were a few feet ahead of us Zach called out (not loud enough for them to hear thank goodness) "Man- wait!" "Hurry Daddy, run". He moved as fast as his little legs could go which is pretty fast for a two year old. 


Towards the end Zach started to get tired and needed a little help from daddy. Matt carried him back down and he was fast asleep by the time we got home! It was a great way to spend a Sunday with to 2 best people in my life!

Now that I am home full time again I am finally getting around to things that I have put off. Some I have put off for a few weeks or months others.. are closer to a year. Here is a look at what I have been working on.. 



I didn't come up with the ideas (not that creative...just good at faking it) but I thought they were so cute I had to copy them and add my own twist.  



Best Husband Ever!

When we first got married matt and I bought these micro-fiber couches that are where very nice. Then Zach happened to them. They have crayon, juice, greasy finger prints and that's all on one cushion. So my sweet husband offered to buy me slipcovers when I found some I liked... well I DID! My living room looks so great. It's brighter and so much cleaner I LOVE it!
