What's tickling my fancy this week, you ask???  Ok...maybe you didn't ask those words exactly...but...I'm going to show you anyway.

1)  I finally learned how to take a screen shot (yes, I know, waaaay behind) on my iPhone thanks to this secret iPhone Features and Shortcuts article...most of the tips I already knew, but there were a couple that I was VERY excited to discover!!

2)  The Little Gym class this week - we missed two weeks ago because GT was sick and then last week was Spring Break at The Little Gym, so GT was ready & raring to go this week!!



My child is the blurry one.  ; )

3) High Five for our days being spent OUTSIDE!!

4)  High Five for all of the Easter Fun I have up my sleeve!!

Weekend Wrap Up...and Happy Birthday, Honey!

I don't know about you all......but......I had an INCREDIBLE WEEKEND!!!

Here are the pictures to prove it!!

Saturday, we met my mom in Chesterfield for lunch at Chik-Fil-A and then we went to Faust Park (where the highlight of my afternoon was Vadyn WEARING her sunhat) to play.  That evening, our good friends, The Shrums treated us to a DELICIOUS dinner.  We enjoyed each other's company, the kids played and we spent some time around the fire pit - unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of this part of our weekend (Robyn - remind me to do a better job of documenting our hangouts) - this was the beginning of our celebrating for my husband, Gordon's birthday, which was yesterday!!

You read that right...Automatic handwasher & dryer...
'cause washing your hands can be sooooo laborious...

GT invited himself to play "soccer ball" with some strangers...
I'm glad they didn't mind...LOL

As I was saying...

Darth Vader was at the playground!!!

We ended our visit at Faust Park with a lovely stroll through Faust Historic Village.  Faust Park is also home to The Butterfly House and an old fashioned Carousel, but we didn't have time for all of that today.  While we were on our walk, my mom took my camera and turned it around on me for a few shots with the kiddos.  Yeah!!!  Too many times I am on the other side of the lens....I need to find myself in a few more pictures...

I love this picture of Vadyn...
(Thanks, Mom!!)



(this one too!!!)



ok...and this one....

Sunday, GT & I headed off to try out a new church with my friend, Robyn & her son, Cooper.  Element Church is in Wentzville, MO.  It is a growing church - they are in the process of building a new auditorium for services.  Robyn and I, along with the rest of the people in service with us, were invited to see the building site in progress.  We wrote the names of people on the cards that we would like to see come closer to Christ and then the cards will be prayed over and then placed underneath the foundation, which is going to be poured this week....so.... those "people" who's names are on the cards, will be what the foundation of the church is built on.  Does this make sense, because Robyn & I both thought it was a SUPER COOL idea.  Cool enough, I whipped out my camera.

I loved this idea!!!...and feel blessed to have been a part!

When we got home on Sunday, it was time to do yard work!!

Elvis didn't help....in case you were wondering...

Check out Vadyn -
Reach for the stars!!!!



My neighbors Bleeding Heart plant that I LOVE!!!



GT being goofy...



Can you guess who is taking this picture???

After a hard day working in the yard, it was time for Gordon's birthday dinner with his Mom & Dr. Jer.  We met back at "our" Mexican restaurant, El Azteca and had THE BEST TIME.  The food there is sooo great.  I couldn't get my hands on one of these fast enough:



Oh look!  The birthday boy is having one, too!!!

 

Gordon reading one of his "notes", as GT call them.  <3



That's right...a ukelele!!!
(Yes, my husband does serenade me)

Not just any kite...a Darth Vader kite!!!

 ...and then the waiter brought out Gordon's "birthday present" from El Azteca.  It was a shot of tequila.  We are not drinkers...so this was quite a shock to us...check out Gordon's reaction...blurry pictures and all!!!

I wanted a picture with the birthday boy...

...and then we attempted a family photo.  Notice I used the word ATTEMPTED.

All in all, it was a very fun filled weekend.  We got a lot accomplished, including finding a new church home!!  Life is sooooo good.
