1st visit to the library

despite the fact that little tickle LOVES to read books...this was a new place with so much to see! he was much more interested in exploring today! so it wasn't long before...he was off...

whats for dessert?

whipped these up last minute for hubby and i last night and they were a hit!
just enough sweetness and nutrition {fruit!} to not over indulge!

a lovely for 2 LOVEly birds

so much!

i love this little tickle oh so very much...



from his head all the way...



down to his toes!





{ i was able to get him to sit still with a little bribery...however, couldn't interest him in too many smiles for he couldn't keep said bribed object out of his mouth! the new tripod hubby surprised me with should help with this...hoping so! }

happy ♥ day friends!

i have been "tortured" by looking at this gorgeous little box my mom made since we came back from texas in mid-january. mom sent our valentines with us and we weren't allowed to open until today!

what a sweet little treat waiting inside!

handmade by momma is always a treat! i think i'll be keeping the box out for a while longer so i can continue to admire it! thanks mom!!! ♥ you! hope everyone has a special day filled with love and those they love! i'm off to make a surprise dinner for mine...with a little help from the pioneer woman! { side note...when i went to grab her link...ummm oh my did you see the adorable k.a.mixer she has on her post for today! }

and the next one...we ventured out a few times to romp in it...
but my blood is too southern for it and little tickle's not too sure about it!
