I made a couple of fun desserts I found on Pinterest...I am a little addicted :)...I have officially pinned over 1000 things...oh my!
I made Bennett, Mountain Dew cupcakes :)
They were actually really good, and basically taste like lemon/lime.
The other dessert I made was REALLY good! It is called a Chocolate Eclair Dessert...everyone LOVED it as much as our beloved Cookies and Creme dessert!
We have had some great weather this past week, so anytime we can get outside and play...we do!
We still have a month left before school gets out, and we are getting excited for summer!
In other news :)
Blake started Spring football
We ordered Lucy some new glasses ( I stepped on her old ones, the first time she has ever left them on the floor, of course :)
I took Lucy to LUSH over the weekend..we walked in the store, and the staff instantly recognized her from her video...it was so funny!
That's the latest :)...hope you're having a great week so far!!
Happy Birthday to the BEST Husband and Father ever!
You selflessly give and give and never ask for anything in return
You work so hard to provide for our family, and we will never take that for granted
You are THE most positive person we know
You always find the "silver lining" and humor in everything
We LOVE you, and appreciate every.single. snowman you have built, s'more you have made, laundry you do :), dog you walk, errand you run, bill you pay, and all the other million things you do for our family!
We wish you a year FULL of wonderful new opportunities, and LOTS of Love!
I remember him as a baby and toddler more than the other boys. He was my third and I just felt so much more comfortable and confident in my Mothering skills :)..that I enjoyed every moment. I didn't stress or worry quite like I did the first two times :)
Bennett, you are a joy
you are funny
you are smart
you are opinionated
you are stubborn
you are handsome
you are more athletic than you think you are :)
you are serious
and you will always be our baby boy!
We love you and wish you the happiest of birthdays!
I thought it would be fun to share a few things that I am loving right now!
1. Physician's Formula Bronze Booster Glow Boosting Sun Stones
These are more of a "highlighting" product than a bronzer. I use my bronzer and blush, and then swirl my brush over the beads and dust my forhead, down my nose, cheekbones and chin for a glowy healthy sunkissed (not to glittery) look.
**another product I love with this is MAC Fix Plus spray...I use mineral foundation and then after bronzer, blush, etc I pump a few sprays on my face and it gives my makeup a dewy look that you can't get with powder foundation, and it helps to keep your makeup looking fresh for hours!**
2. NEON Nailpolish
I love that neon is back...yes I am a product of the 80's! I think neon polish looks great on your toes for summer! This one is China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and is my new favorite. The Sinful Colors line has
done some great colors and they are available at Walgreens.
3. Bath and Body Works Aruba Coconut
I am crazy for this yummy smell...I use the shower gel, body lotion, and body spray. It smells like summer!
4. STASH Mango Passionfruit Tea
This makes a delicious "not too fruity" iced tea. I boil water, pour 8 cups into a pitcher, add 4 Mango Passionfruit and 2 regular tea bags, and steep. Fill a pitcher half full of ice, and pour in your tea...really delicious!
I feel like I am on my blog alot...and then I look at the date of my last post and realize how much time has passed, so let's get caught up!
Lucy and I drove to WSU and picked this guy up! One year of college DONE! He was so anxious to come home, that we did the 9 hour round trip in one day :)
Since we didn't get to celebrate his 19th with him, Grandma made him a cake and we celebrated!
Handsome boys...it is so nice to have all 3 of my boys home together. They each bring something different to our family dynamic, and when one is not here we all feel it.
I don't think I even need to tell you who is THRILLED to have her brother home...she is already planning their dates!
Lucy recieved a couple of "thank you" gifts in the mail :)
this one below, she received from LUSH! I received an email from the director of public relations at LUSH, thanking Lucy for doing such an awesome job sharing LUSH on her video, that she wanted to send her a little gift! Lucy was very happy!
My Mother's Day was quiet. Toby had to work, but came home, and he and Lucy prepared a great dinner for my Mom and I :)
Lucy's favorite thing is giving gifts...and she does a great job of keeping secrets. She brought her gift home, and she and Daddy hid it...and on Mother's Day, this was the precious gift I opened.
Oh how I treasure these handmade gifts!
And apparently, Lucy loves when I make her dinner :), so I guess I will keep that up!
The boys gave me chocolates and an Amazon gift card....so the first thing I ordered was this
Well, I think we're all caught up! The weather here has been beautiful, and we have been spending lots of time outside reading, planting flowers, and planning our garden!
I also put a link up at the top of the sidebar to Lucy's YouTube Channel, for those of you that aren't subscribers and want to see what she is up to!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, commented and watched Lucy's videos here, at The Lettered Cottage, YouTube and Facebook! We had so much fun reading ALL of your comments :)
We have some new followers on this blog AND lots of new subscribers on YouTube...so we are thrilled!
Lucy truly LOVES making videos, and we will not disappoint, with more to come!
