happy.

soooo......

yesterday, my darling mother-in-law took me the nursery.

to get my birthday present. {even though my birthday was a LOONG time ago.}

my birthday happened in and among a lot of life stuff this year. {as did jeff's.} it was the year for that, i guess.

and then.... we got a sprinkler system!!!!

a joy & a nightmare all at the same time.

jeff keeps telling me the grass will fill back in. i know it will. but in the mean time, it's muddy. and combine that with a dog that's low to the ground & a 3 year old little boy and that means mess. all. the. time. {not that i'm not the messiest one of all or anything...}

but please don't get me wrong.

i'm grateful.

i am.

so... now all of this goodness is in my flower beds in the front.

it looks even better off the cart than on. promise.

i was told that i can't kill these. unless i don't water. i will water!

and here's a bonus.

when i took the flower pic, i saw this picture of the bug. trying on his tux.

love.

oh. AND i found this video of lil' miss. making her sweet sweet noises.

she gets so excited. and when b. hears her noises... he starts making them too. just wait.
