4. set out to dry.

5. pop balloons and pull balloon out

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

that is what i said when our old vacuum started spraying dust everywhere.

why?

bc cam said when our vac died, i could get a dyson.

so, needless to say, it's been like 3 years in the making.

i told him i would start vacuuming more just to make it break.

and he even fixed it a couple times when we thought it was broken.

so the day finally came!!!!!!

we got a small version that only weighs 11lbs.

that way it's easy to clean the stairs

and super portable!

i love love love love it!

it's multi-surface too!!!! LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i eat string

hazel was eating her yoga pants tie

thanks aunt becky

for all our iplay/greensprouts stuff

we use it all the time!

 garrett is a shriner... jk jk

he has a greensprouts cup on his head

yoga baby.

i can drink water

 what a difference 2 months (and being born on time) makes

 seriously.

a jean jacket?

bahhhhh

 i support the gin joint

i am allowed to drink water now!!!

and of course it's out of my skull and crossbones sippy cup

i know, it's been awhile...

Spring is here,
