The best of life

Recently you may have seen my post about Mercedes' first pony tail.
Well last week she graduated to pigtails!
She has very little hair but it's still enough for her mommy who's desperately wanting to do things with it.

This girl is a ham sometimes. Every once in a while I'll hear her laughing and screaming in her room and I'll walk in and find her playing on the sofa we have in there. She's hiding under the blanket if you didn't notice. (See the red leather sofa?? My friend in our ward was getting rid of it and we took it off her hands. It pretty awesome.)

One of the many (MANY) great things about children is that you HAVE to get new clothes for them as they grow out of their old ones. I went shopping last week and found some cute stuff. (Notice the tags still attached).


I couldn't resist this swimsuit. I love Old Navy!
This face gets me every time. Doesn't she look like she just knows? "Knows what?" you might ask. Well I don't know, everything maybe? She just knows.

Friday was my birthday and it was a great day. Taylor and his family threw me a birthday party that evening and they gave me the funnest gifts.
Taylor got me this hydration belt (above) and I LOVE it! I get so thirsty while running and this solves the problem!

On Saturday we bought a car!!!!!! We found a fantastic deal on this 2004 Subaru Forester and let me tell you we are absolutely loving it.

This is our first actual "family car" and it's very exciting.
I have to keep reminding myself while I'm driving that it's an automatic. I've been driving manuals for 7 years so it's a nice change. I love it.
Sunday was our 3 year anniversary. Can you believe it's been three years???
Well, I am just in love with this man. I'm so happy he's mine for eternity.

After a busy day running around and purchasing our new car we went to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We went to Il Fornaio at the Roseville Galleria. The food was AMAZING. And so was the service.
It was an awesome weekend.
The end.
