Flower Garden Visit

There is nothing I love more than fresh flowers and floral prints! I have had dreams of peony plants in our yard for as long as I can remember! Right now, our yard needs some color so we ventured off to our local nursery that has the most beautiful gardens, fish ponds, trees, and paths to walk along! It was so inspiring and so serene, too! I’d love to fill a few flower boxes with their garden roses and long hanging greenery!

Planting flowers has always helped me to celebrate new seasons in life and also helped me through some hard times. When we experienced the loss of our baby with a painful miscarriage last year, I knew I had to have something to plant so that I could watch it grow. We named our angel baby Joshua and on his due date, my husband brought home a beautiful maple tree to plant thats leaves would turn a beautiful red fall color in October, our due date month. It has been beautiful to watch it lose its leaves in the Winter and bloom beautifully in the Spring. I am sure I will cry some tears when the leaves turn that beautiful red in October.

But enough tears… let’s talk J.Crew! They decided to win me over with these bow shorts that are classy and comfortable! Paired with their floral ruffle tank and I couldn’t have felt more like Spring! The shorts come in the floral print as well and I think I may have to pick those up, too! For my fellow pink lovers, I don’t think we can resist the pink option either! Here are my favorite pieces from a day in the garden! P.S. I share Ryann Whitney’s wardrobe details at the end!

OUTFIT DETAILS

They need to re-stock them but in the mean time, these similar ones are a steal at $38! J.Crew has some cute pink ones that I fell in love with! At $118, I feel like they should be a part of anyone’s wardrobe! I also found some incredible sunglasses at my fav store, Nordstrom. Check out their tortoise selection! My favorites are these for $24 and I really love the black fade color of these round ones for $89! If your budget is a little higher, these Ted Baker’s are to die for at $149! He tends to have a lot of bows in his line so I always enjoy his pieces! Lastly, a splurge of $319, these pinkies are total perfection! You’ll be set with any of those killer pairs as Summer quickly starts!

If you’re like me and love Amazon Prime, check this post out for some amazing dupes! They’re great deals and come in 2 days! Win-win!

We had such a great time at the gardens and I know I will head back soon! For those asking, Ryann Whitney’s shoes are the BEST! They actually stay on and are easy to get on even with a wiggly 5 month old! Here gladiators can be found here for $12! Her top is from Janie and Jack and I love putting cute bloomers under it since it fits more like a dress! You can find cute bloomers here! It’s so fun shopping for girls!

My handsome boy could swim all day long! He thinks My handsome boy could swim all day long! He thinks he’s close to doing an iron man because he bikes a 5k next to Everett while he runs and then swims 😂🤣
Happy 4 years of conquering cardiac arrest to our Happy 4 years of conquering cardiac arrest to our miracle boy! Thank you to each of you that stopped in the scariest moment of our lives to pray and stuck with us for soooooo many months and years.
My girl in pink is too much! All I can think of is My girl in pink is too much! All I can think of is “I’m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world!” Everett sings, “I’m a Darby girl in a Darby world” to the same tune 💗🤣
After celebrating with the littles this morning, A After celebrating with the littles this morning, Averie and I surprised Everett with a very fun afternoon with delicious authentic Italian food, got him fitted for new running shoes, and then off to the shooting range! We had the best time! The custom socks were his favorite! I asked the littles to draw their favorite thing to do with him: Ryann is riding her bike, Remy is swimming in the sun, Emerson is throwing the football and Averie is custom Gracie socks 🤣. It was wonderful focusing on him and spoiling him today! He’s always putting us all before anything and he more than deserved an amazing Father’s Day!

I guess for normal parents, these thoughts don’t I guess for normal parents, these thoughts don’t cross their mind on big days like their child’s birthday. For us, not only is it on special days but it’s every day that we think, pray about, talk about or talk to so many of the incredible medical angels that worked tirelessly to save our baby. I can’t go to sleep tonight without thanking each of you so very much for these days. I thought as time went on, I’d think of you less. But the opposite has happened. Because I get to see so many new things with Remy each and every day, I think of you more. Because I don’t have to visit him on this day at a grave site, I think of you more. Because I don’t have to imagine what these days would have been Iike, I think of you more. Because I don’t have to draw in my head what I think he’d have looked like at 4, I think of you more. Thank you. You all deserve the world for what you do.
happy official birthday to our FOUR year old!!!! R happy official birthday to our FOUR year old!!!! Remy, every day and every night with you is a gift from God.

Oh my heart. I left it in Colorado, AGAIN!!! 26 ye Oh my heart. I left it in Colorado, AGAIN!!! 26 years ago, my hubby met his best friend, Sean, and because of that we all have been extremely blessed to have each other!! The amount of integrity, support, adoration, faith, selflessness and out of this world love that bursts from this family is indescribable. They are successful, they are godly, they are fun, they are everything you want in a family and more! I know all of their blessings are there because God knows their hearts and sees their actions and pours it on them!! They aren’t friends, they’re family. They’re sisters and brothers, fighters for us in the valley and cheerleaders for us on the hills. All I could have ever wanted is there when we are all together!! You all know it because none of us stop saying this but we absolutely love you and miss you and adore each of you from the tops of your heads to your cute little toes!!! Bringing our answered prayer, Remy, to y’all in 2020 and now our Averie in 2022 was absolutely out of this world. Thank you Holt for marrying our precious Mikayla so we could have the best time ever!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓
The last few days have gotten away from us but sit The last few days have gotten away from us but sitting here with some quiet time, I went through our old pictures. We just celebrated our 10th anniversary of getting engaged and the butterflies hit all over again!! I’ve happily said yes to @everettbowes every single day since then and I am so grateful to have such an incredible partner in raising our children, best friend beside me, and my absolute favorite person in the world. Marriage for me showed me how blessed I am and Everett has only shown me a better and better version of himself as the years have passed. We have walked through the best and coolest experiences together and also the hardest battles with nearly losing a child. I go to bed excited about him every night and wake up excited to see him. Not everything in life feels this way but for us, I’m thankful this area of life is a fairy tale. I love you @everettbowes. You have intergrity, kindness, love and intention in your heart and in everything you do. Your children and I are honored to be yours 💓
Today was a very special day for our baby girl! Sh Today was a very special day for our baby girl! She swam SO well without her floaties, got her first official haircut, has another wiggly tooth, took her first shopping trip to Claire’s AND got her nails painted by yours truly. She is the sweetest thing on the planet and makes our family feel so loved! It was a joy for all of us to see her enjoy the day!! I can’t believe she’s going to kindergarten in the Fall. We are so grateful beyond words that she is ours! 💗

One of my greatest joys of being a mom is when oth One of my greatest joys of being a mom is when others recognize and love my children as much as we do. That happens all the time with Averie. I’m so proud of her character, work ethic, dedication, and how she loves others so well! She’s so easy to love and appreciate, I’m so thankful she’s mine! 💞
