This is our story. It might not be exciting to some, but we think it is THRILLING... most of the time. Life is flying by too fast and this is our attempt to stop and capture the good nuggets in our lives. You may notice a trend in these posts... it may have to do with our favorite little nuggets currently sitting center stage in everything we do, think, and live.

Hope you enjoy and leave a comment or two!

Lucy Birthday!

It was a BIG weekend.  Our niece Lucy is turning one.   The whole family gathered in Richmond to celebrate one beautiful, spunky, and adorable little red head!



Saturday morning we made a little detour across the James river to a huge farmers market.  There were tons of local vendors and people enjoying the morning.  Gramps and I headed straight for the coffee tent and then caught up with everyone at Mrs. Yoders doughnuts.  She makes them fresh on location and is not stingy with the sugary glaze.  It is what dreams are made of!

We made a pit stop on the way home to get the wild animal's hair cut.  Lucy got her's cut the day before and Anna raved about the shop called Pigtails and Crewcuts, so Chase had to give it a shot.  Isn't it funny that you don't notice your son needs a haircut until it is cut and you look back at pictures and think... why in the heck did we wait so long! HA!



Anna decorated in the most fun colors of aqua, lime green and bright pink.

Love the colors!




moms have gotta craft! haha



Ukrops cupcakes!  They got the colors perfectly!

The lady of the hour was dressed to the nines in pink and lime green and smashed her way through her cupcake.


Happy Birthday Lu Lu

The delicate approach....


... and total destruction!

Chase tried to help Lucy open her gifts, but she made it through them just fine without her help.



Gramps keeping one of the nuggets out of trouble!

Love that friendly smile!



What a haul!

It was such a fun trip and capped off an incredible year of wonderful memories.  Here's to many more!  A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our little spunky niece!
