I hope everyone has a fabulous, safe, 4th of July weekend. Enjoy family time, great food, and fireworks. I am super excited because Travis and I will be heading to TN to spend time with this guy…

I can’t wait!! He is my favorite little, redheaded, nephew, Cooper. Isn’t he adorable?! I sure do think so. 🙂 I haven’t seen him or my sister and BIL since Christmas so I am quite excited to go play with them this weekend out on their boat. He has changed so much since Christmas so I will be taking LOADS of pictures of him (which isn’t anything new).
But Happy 4th of July Everyone!
I also wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to my Dad! After 36, long years working for GM/ the UAW he has officially retired on Wednesday. He has been counting down the day until it was official since before Travis and I got married 3 1/2 years ago. My mom already has big plans for him around the house but all he wants to do is fish, so we’ll see how they work all that out.
I love you, dad and Congrats on many lazy years ahead! 🙂

And lastly, I will be MIA this weekend since I will be in TN but next week I will return with two fun tutorials for you all. Here’s a sneak peak of them.


Mmmmm… what can they be? Check back next week to find out.
