greatest hits

where did april go?  seriously.

between easter and birthdays and parties and swim lessons and all-of-the-things, i'm surprised i have a brain still left in my head.

but we made it!  i am thirty-six!  ben is seven!  crosby is four!

after this weekend's birthday party, we have officially made it through our household's spring birthday celebration extravaganza.

all that's left is mother's day, wedding showers, may birthdays, a baby shower, girls trip, fathers day and a wedding.

i.am.not.panicking.

here's a peek at april and the beginning of may.

1) what feels like a million years ago, chris and i went to a yummy dinner to celebrate our birthdays (here. duh.) and then out to meet up with some of our very best people.

 2) proof of pawpaw's green thumb always ends up on my desk.

 3) i love this picture.  i worked on my birthday this year, but we all went out to lunch at my favorite restaurant in dallas, s&d oyster company.

 and then dinner at matt's.  on a patio.  with a marg.  a thirty-six year-old's version of heaven, right there.

 4) i captured this sunrise on a four-miler with my running group on a saturday morning.

 5) dude got sick.  look at the size of this kid.

 6) sick day activity for the boys: "wash" your toys.  

 7) my backyard exploded with blooms.

 8) kelly and i have been celebrating our birthday month together since middle school.  

 i love her so.

 9) with some birthday money from my in-laws, i bought a new coffee table.  cute, huh?  found it here.

 10) this guy started and finished swim lessons.  he has his own swimming style, just like with everything else in his life.

11) we hosted my sister's bachelorette party at the lakehouse last weekend.  

um yep, still tired.

looking forward to celebrating my doodle-bug's birthday with his friends on saturday and quite honestly, starting a new show on netflix.  does that make me lame?  

(sidenote: we just got netflix and plowed through the entire orange is the new black series.  l-o-v-e-d it.  any suggestions on what we should watch next???)

how was your day/month?  what are you looking forward to?

love,

coco
