a busy day

We started the morning off early, too early for my liking on Saturday, but worth it so we could participate in the Susan B Komen, Race for the Cure.  The event was moving, with over 25,000 people showing their support for this important cause, cancer.
Following the race, we headed over to the Sacramento Zoo.  The boys and their friends {the girlie's in the pink tutu's} had so much fun.  They rode the train, watched a animal show, feed the giraffe and couldn't get enough of the lizards {my least favorite part}.  In all a great day was had and the boys were pooped by the end.  Ryan was asleep in the stroller before we reached the car and Jake within minutes of getting in the car and heading home.  Which equalled some quite time for mom, heaven!

Happy Mother's Day!

full bloom

I don't know why I still look forward to fridays so much, considering I am a full time SAHM, but I do.  I would assume it's because the hubs is free for two whole days and we can play all day.
A recap of our week, we played outside, A LOT.  The kids rode their bikes, ran all over, enjoyed the park, and chased and blew loads of bubbles.
Ryan had a dentist appointment and didn't like it much until he got his sugar free lollipop.
Lastly, my hubs, Eric had his second chemotherapy treatment.  His treatment lasts for two full days and by friday he is done.  Tomorrow, we head to the oncologists to finish his treatment.  This week has been harder than last, he is more sick and tired.  To keep his spirits up, we are going to see Iron Man 2 tomorrow night.  Eric loves movies.  He can quote most and has even been in a few back in the day.
On Saturday, we, me and the boys, my friend Denise and her family, and my mom in law will be participating in the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Walk.  I look forward to this walk every year and this year even more.  Now that my husband has cancer, I know that we will help, in our own way, better the lives of all those affected with cancer.  Are their any charities or walks/runs you participate in?

Our flowers are in full bloom around our house.  I love Spring and all the beauty it brings. 

Have a great weekend, loves.  Any plans?

a bit of this & that

I am always on the lookout for art for my boys rooms.  Since we are working on numbers and counting, I think this Animal African Safari Counting Poster {from Smiles and Squiggles} is a perfect fit.

Speaking of my boys, we've been doing a lot of this this week.

The weather is perfect here, so we're taking advantage and enjoying the outdoors.  How about you?

on the lookout

I have been searching for images of curtains online to try and get a better idea of what I want for our dining room.  It's hard to decide since I don't have a dining room set up, meaning, I haven't picked out chairs, a table, rug, nothing!  Regardless, a decision has to be made so I've found some images that are drawing me in.  Do you like?  What do your dining rooms look like?
