{Happy Anniversary to Us}

3 years ago today, I made the best decision of my life and married my amazing husband, Ed! I adore this man more than words can even describe. I love being married and thank God every day for having Ed. He enriches my life SOOO much. William and I are blessed to have him.

To celebrate, we decided to stay local and spend the day with William as well. First stop, yummy breakfast at the Flying biscuit. OMG, they have the best breakfast ever! This place is worth every hype. The wait on the weekends are up to an hour. They opened one at the Northeast part of the town and we will be going more often.

Our adventure continues with a day at the zoo. We all had a blast! Weather was perfect and it wasn't too crowded.

Here's a picture of us. Still feels like we are newlyweds sometime:)

William's favorites were the Elephants and the Pandas. We all had a blast feeding the parakeets.My boys were adventurous and pet almost every animal in the petting zoo. Here's another picture of us. Looking forward to many more years to celebrate together!***CLICK HERE FOR MORE PICTURES***

{Lemonade Days}

This past Saturday was a gorgeous and busy weekend in Atlanta. Lots of festivals(i.e. Dogwood, Oakhurst, etc) going on but we decided to go to the Dunwoody Lemonade Days due to location and convenience. I'm so glad we did coz William had a blast and it was absolutely the best place to go for kids. The festival has changed so much over the years. The first time Ed and I went, they only had crafts and the 5K run(yes, it was back when we were running buffs:)) Now, they have everything- a big amusement park (probably had 10 rides), pony rides, petting zoo and lots of other game booths.

Here we are at the entrance.
Yay, cool fire truck.Petting zoo. William loved staring at the donkey and pony.He wasn't a big fan of the face painting.But was a big fan of the music blasting around the park. He was dancing and of course doing his signature spin move.

Here he is asking for more snowcone. Yummy! We also tried some corn dogs.Guess who else was in town....ELMO! William waved at him. I missed it but Ed told me that William gave Elmo a high five!

{Rock Star Day}

I love that William's school have themes once a month. Last Friday was rockstar day. Here's our best attempt to style William up.

Aunt Sonja was in town for Yanni's concert. We were able to spend time with her Friday night. She also brought William goodies from GG and Aunt Sharon. William loved all of his toys ---- the wooden frog is soooo cool. It makes a ribbit sound when you roll it.

{Easter Weekend}

Had a wonderful Easter weekend. Feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. We kicked off Easter weekend with a Saturday Egg Hunting at our church. I was trying to get William to smile and show his teeth. So, here he is sitting with Luis and doing exactly what Mom asked him to do show his teeth.At Mary's garden.

Video of William in action. This kiddo has mad egg hunting skillz:)

We gave William his Easter basket Sunday morning. It was hilarious! He had this big grin and was so surprised that he was getting some goodies. I can almost read his mind---asking what's the special occasion? Why am I getting gifts? :)Pictures were taken at the church's parking lot. It was so crowded and we were trying to get some photos before William takes his afternoon nap.My handsome boys :)We had brunch at our house. Everybody raved at how tasty and yummy the food was. I never thought that I'd be skilled enough to host family gatherings but I did learned, and actually ended up being good at it :)

Our lil boy's laughter - PRICELESS!

{Spring Bonnet Festival}

William had his school bonnet parade and he loved wearing this hat.

Happy Birthday Audrey!

This sweet lil princess turned 1 last week. Her mom and dad threw her a fabulous party with fun jump castle, yummy food and bubble machines.Audrey loved William and kept on holding on to him. It was so sweet.

These 2 lovebirds will be welcoming their own bundle of joy in October. How exciting! They will be excellent parents.

{Scapegoat}

Poor Riley, aside from being bossed by Wiliam he is now William's scapegoat too. Last night, William fell flat on his face and bumped his forehead while spinning and playing with bubbles. He was quick to point at Riley(who was quietly sitting close by) and blame him. Hahaha, I guess this is just the beginning of this special "friendship".

{Easter Egg Hunt At The Governor's Mansion}

First Lady of Georgia, Mary Perdue, hosted her 7th annual Easter egg hunt at the Governor's Mansion. There's limited spots and we were so happy to be able to attend. When we pulled up at the Mansions gate, the guard looked for our name at the guest list. It was kind of flattering to be "invited" at an event like this. This was our first time at the mansion and we were in awe on how stunning the Mansion is.

Real quick, I may be bias but I think he looks so adorable in this jumper(Thanks Monica).

Back to the egg hunting---The event was filled with so much activities-easter egg hunt, cupcake creation, face painting, story time and jumpy moonwalk. William absolutely had a blast exploring and running around.

William sitting and waiting for the first lady to welcome and address the crowd.The first lady Mary Perdue welcoming everybody.Two days prior to the event, we did some "mock" Easter egg hunting at our house. I think it's safe to say that it was worth the effort. William "performed" well :) Yes internet, we are type A like that!

They also handed out free books to all the kids. William loves his new Little Rabbit Lost book. It has such a sweet story.

We also met our friends Sara and Kate. Lately, It's been hard to take a photo of these 3 adventurous toddler sitting still.

Here's William with the bunny. He doesn't really mind being near him as long as the bunny doesn't hold or talk to him:) We feel so blessed to be able to participate in such a wonderful event! We hope to make this a yearly tradition.
