Picking Wes up from the Marines

The family and I drove to Twentynine Palms, CA. when we got there we met up with Wes then went to our hotel. We found a yummy place to eat that night called Pappy and Harriets. 

 The next day was our free day to explore where Wes has lived the last four years. He took us to some outlets and then we went into Palm Springs to eat for dinner.

 Here we are packing Wes's room up. Such an exciting thing to do, I never thought the day would come when we would be doing this.

 This was his tiny room, his room number and the building he lived in!

 His friends threw him a goodbye BBQ the day we left for home, and that is Kota his roomate and good friend. The family became really close to Kota, He would come home with Wes all the time and became part of the family. 

At the BBQ everyone went around saying something about Wes that was a good memory or something they had learned from him. It was really awesome to hear the things they had to say about him.

 Welcome home sign!!

The whole Jacobson Family and SO happy for him to be home for good!! 

I haven't had time to blog

Here we are driving to pick Wes up in Twentynine Palms CA.. And this is why I haven't blogged, I have spent the last month every day with him, trying to make up for lost time I guess.

Maybe soon I will try to get back to blogging! ;)

Ryah's Birthday

My April Fools baby niece just turned 10!

She's growing up SO fast, and becoming so sassy and of course a little fashionista.

We had the family over for cake and ice cream.

 My mom made this awesome cake, she dyed a white cake in all four of these fun spring colors. Everyone loved it!

 Birthday Girl!

My sister Ash and I bought her rollerblades, it was a big hit! 

Good thing,  you never know what a 10 year old may or may not like ;)

Inspired Project

Here was our inspiration for our Saturday project.

 Via Etsy

 We used a stencil and cut it up into zig zags then laid them down on the frame and spray painted.

Super easy!

 Stacked frames! 

Here is Ellie and I before doing the project. 

It was such a warm sunny day, Perfect for an outside project. 

Wedding Shoes

I've bought me two pairs of shoes for the wedding. I think I'm going to keep both. Maybe one for pictures and one for 'The Day'...  Or maybe I'm absolutely crazy for buying both heels.

But I love them both! I can't wait to wear them :)
