Playing Catch Up...I Turned 30!

Yes I am well aware that we are over a week into April and I am just now posting about things in March, but better late than never right? The end of March is always one of my favorite parts of the year because of my birthday!  This year Nathan (my twin brother) and I turned 30!!  We celebrated together the weekend before our birthday with family and as always it was a blast! 

 Gee thanks Dad^ Haha!

UK played that night and won which was a sweet little birthday present!

 I love when I get an opportunity to use my Instax mini! Reminds to print pictures!

 Got lots of awesome goodies.....

 New running gear is awesome because it gives me instant motivation!

 My favorite card had to be the cat in the sweater. Thanks seester!!

 

Happy (belated) 30th Birthday Nate and to me!

Love, T

St. Patrick's Day 2014

Happy belated  St. Patrick's Day!  This is such a happy spirited holiday...green beer, shamrocks, leprechauns and pots of gold..I mean come on..it's fun:) Memories from childhood include green milk and green pancakes!  SO it is no wonder I like this holiday so much, pancakes were involved!  This St. Patty's Day started with a green dinner and homemade Chocolate Lucky Charms Treats,  and ended with green beer and sibling fun.  Hopefully you had some Irish inspired fun yesterday!

Lately....Superbowl, Johnny is 30 and Valentine's Day

It is hard to believe that February is coming to an end and March is just around the corner!  This has been a fun and busy month around here! Super bowl, Johnny's 30th Birthday and Valentines Day on top of all the normal things like work and school and trying to be healthy during all of the celebrating we have done over the past few weeks.  Since I have been neglecting my little corner of the internet it is time to play catch up with some pictures:) I hope everyone is having a nice February! March is my birthday month so I must say I am not sad it is almost here:)

 Date night at The Gerst Haus is always fun:)

 Of course bowling only makes the night better!

 

 

 

This is how Superbowl went for me....pumped for the game and finger foods... 

Got distracted by the snow...

Food was ready and it was Game time!!

The game was terrible and I decided to just play in the snow instead:) Hopefully next year it is a better game!

 

Next up...

Johnny turned 30!!

 

 

Valentine's Day<3

 

 

Johnny knows the way to my heart:) Chocolate!

my kitty valentine

 

Hope you have a nice rest of February!

Happy Monday!

Love, T

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alicia & Whitney's Baby Shower

It is no secret that I love baby showers:) There is always lots of adorable baby goodies, cupcakes or cake and in this case 2 beautiful mommies to be! Two of my close friends that I work with are having sweet bundles of joy very soon so we decided to throw them a work shower.  Whitney is due first and she is having a baby girl named Caroline and Alicia is only a few weeks behind with baby boy Grayson.  I had fun making a few handmade goodies for the shower and could not wait to celebrate such a happy time with them.  Congratulations Whitney & Alicia!! 

I got these two little pictures from Alicia and Whitney after the shower:)  I love that they both put something from the shower in their babies room:)

 

Happy Day!

Love, T
