our new fall wreath

This is the wreath my best friend and I made several months ago. It's yarn wrapped around a straw wreath with felt flowers, hung with matching ribbon.....


well after several months and cooler weather creeping up on us :) I thought maybe we needed an update for fall! So my Mom and I headed to Michael's and decided on a color scheme, the pictures don't really show it all that well so I'll tell you what the colors are. 

It was really, really easy!!! A little time consuming but easy! 
1. I just removed our old flowers
2. Rewrapped the wreath with leftover yarn (just to freshen it up)
3. Cut out our diamonds hot glued them on
4. Then wrapped our berry yarn around in a criss-cross pattern
 and wallllahhhh! there you have it!!!!


(taupe yarn, mustard and sage felt diamonds and berry yarn on top) 


Best part about.......it was cheap!!!!! With a Michael's coupon it this was about a 4$ update. I didn't even need all of the felt I bought, so if I returned it, it would be even cheaper!!!!

To infinity and BEYOND!!!!




Emerson and I happened to stumble upon this cute little Buzz Lightyear plate at Target. We carried it around for a little while and then decided to just go for it! He enjoyed using it today and it didn't even end up on the floor like our other plastic plates do ;)

Our relaxing Tuesday in instagrams







Em's BIG 1!!!

Well my little boy is 1!!! 
Already?.....Where did the time go? 
We had a little golf themed party at the house for friends and family. Overall I think everyone had a great time,  especially Emerson!


He had no reservations about diving right into his cake :)


Everyone else had brownies decorated like golf greens, I think that's the right terminology, obviously I'm not the golfer at our house :)


Here are Em's 1 year pictures!



Happy Birthday Emerson! We love you, hope this year is even more special than the first!
