Elmo!

Rocklin and I were having one of those mornings where I knew that both he AND I needed to get out of the house. We decided to go to Target and see if they had anything that we couldn't live without. Sure enough, they did (as usual)! Rocklin LOVES Elmo these days. When Sesame Street comes on and he hears the Elmo music, he always gets the biggest smile on his face and jumps up and down like he's dancing. When we saw this little Elmo backpack, I just had to get it for him. It's just his size and he loves it! He's been wearing it around the house since we got home.

Weekend Update

Happy Mother's Day!! Since I am unable to be with my Mom today, I wanted to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and tell her how much I love her! Looking forward to spending time with you, Mom, and the rest of the family in just a few short weeks!

Adam's parents were in town this weekend to celebrate Adam's little sister, Kacie, as she graduated from Northern Arizona University this weekend with her Bachelor's. We spent all day yesterday with his family at the graduation and a swim party/BBQ celebration. Then today, we headed over to Adam's sisters house to have a Mother's Day lunch.

The trees up in Flagstaff were so beautiful and in full bloom.
Sorry I didn't get more pictures of the weekend...but we had a great time celebrating with the entire Birkmeyer family!! And Kacie, we're VERY proud of you!!

Still here...

I know, I know. I've been THE most boring blogger lately. I've had nothing new and exciting to share! We've been up to the same old, same old around here and I haven't even taken any cute pictures of Rocklin to share. However, this weekend will be lots of fun with Adam's entire family in town and his little sister graduating from the University of Northern Arizona. We're all headed up to Flagstaff for that, so I'll be sure to take my camera. Then, of course, Mother's Day, and then the month of June will be busy, busy! My little brother Adam is getting married to Amanda on June 5th here in Arizona, and my entire family will be in town for that, and then Rocklin and I are headed to Georgia for 9 days. So with all that being said, let's hope I can get some semi-exciting posts up on the blog soon!

Meanwhile, so at least this post has a picture, I'll share a family cookbook I made for Amanda for her bridal shower that I went to last night. It was a lot of fun, and it's been great getting to know her a little better. I think her and Adam are going to be very happy together! :)

Baby Boy Quilt

Today I wish I was in Texas. My best friend (since about the 7th grade) is having her baby shower for her first baby - A Boy named Owen. I'm so excited for her and wish I could be there to help celebrate!! I made a quilt for her baby and I thought I'd share it with my bloggy friends. Even though I royally screwed up on the pattern (NO idea how I managed that) I still think it turned out cute. Hillary - I hope you like it and hope you had a GREAT time at your shower today!! I can't wait to meet Mr. Owen.

Need a Good Laugh Today?

Me too. I found THIS awesome blog while doing a little blog-stalking this morning. Enjoy.

Cheap Chicks

My Sister-in-Law, Sarah, has started a new blog dedicated to saving money and finding good deals. As most of you know, this is right up my alley! Who doesn't love a good deal? I wanted to share her new blog with all of you and let you know I'll be contributing good deals over on her site as well. Check it out! http://bargainlovincheapchicks.blogspot.com/

Me and My Boy

This past weekend my Aunt Wendie was in town for a scrapbook convention. Rocklin and I met up with her to hang out for a bit and say hello. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures of us with Wendie, but she did snap this one and Rocklin looked so darn cute in it that I had to share. Thanks, Wendie. We loved visiting with you!
