easter!

so after an amazing weekend of riding mopeds and my hands covered in black grease, we had an easter celebration with my family! these pictures explain everything, from lounging outside, kickball at the park and plenty of food! we ate and drank all day long!

Enjoy and hope everyone's Easter was just as delightful!

My mother decorated the table and everything house, and she housed us all. Her house is beautiful!
My sweet sister Shannon made the scallop potatoes and she is modeling my Easter cupcakes
I made the Easter cupcakes.

all the rest of the food just showed up! haha.

showers + louisville, ky.

Sunday morning I woke up and Robert helped me make some sweet little shortbreads for my lovely friend Christina's Bridal Shower. She is getting married in less then 2 months! It is so crazy! We are so happy for Christina and Byron!

Robert was so helpful with the cookies!

All of this happened yesterday, along with Robert's brilliant idea to spontaneously drive to Louisville, KY to buy a vintage brown propane stove for our bus! It's so petit and cute! It's a nice sunburst brown on the outside with a vintage blue inside. 3 burners, that's all i need on the bus! we made a fun trip out of it, and got to see good friends, and spend a lot of time in this amazing hotel! There was a art museum in it! what!?

Then on Friday I through a huge birthday party for my wonderful husband, Robert who is now a mere 23 years old!
this year being his first birthday spent with me [last year he was out of town] I wanted to make it really special, so we had a Fiesta Potluck in our backyard. Oh it was so fun!

On Saturday we went to my parent's house for a fabulous meal and family birthday party! Robert got ton's of great gifts and he is so grateful to have a wonderful weekend, all about him! Thank you to both of our families!
