Sniffles & Coughs

We have a bit of a sickness going on in our house right now. It started with Elia complaining of a sore throat for a few days and turned into both her and Eva having runny noses and coughs. And of course, me having an immune system that catches anything the cold has snuck up on me as well!
Hopefully a nice day out today will do the trick. Not sure what we're going to do but I have the whole day off so we're taking advantage.
On another note, Eva is now old enough to play in her Jumperoo!!

Although, she's not fully convinced in it's ability to entertain her yet. She'd rather sit in it and watch Sesame Street!

Check out those chunkers!

I didn't realize my focus on my camera was off until it was too late...

Wednesday was also my birthday! My mom, Elia, Eva, and I spent the day shopping at the Pinnacle Hills Promenade and ended the evening at Mimi's Cafe for dinner with the family. Unfortunately, this was the only photo of the day I was able to capture! 

(Elia & her crazy excited eyes, haha!)

We ended up having to leave the restaurant early because Eva decided to have a SCREAMING fit in the middle of dinner! But it was still a great day!

Have an awesome weekend everyone!!

Wedding Update!

So many of you may know that Chris and I are legally married but we have yet to have a wedding! I know, a little insane. I guess we like to do things out of order.... really out of order! Next April we will be married for 5 years and we were thinking it would be a good time to finally have a wedding!
With the arrival of Eva, starting school, and a new job the planning has been on the back burner for a bit. But I'm back at it again. Here are a few inspirational photos I've found along the way!

Instead of a guestbook guests fill out little cards and drop them in a jar for the bride & groom!

I LOVE this wedding reception photo! Now I just have to find chairs like this to rent!

For all the kids: a coloring book composed of drawings from us and some of our family and best friends!

Cookies & milk? Yes, please!!!

Custom photo booth for the guests. We're looking for old photo frames to paint and will be creating a custom backdrop for guests to pose in!

Now for the dress..... last May I lost my Grandma to brain cancer. I miss her and think of her every day. I know she would have loved to see me walk down the aisle and I wish she could have. Since our wedding will have a vintage feel I'm looking into taking her old wedding dress and having it restored to wear on our day. I think this will be a great way to make her a part of it and keep her memory alive. Here's a  few photos of my beautiful Grandma on her wedding day!

Look at that gorgeous couple!

Love you, Grandma!!!
