Lola Hutch Henrie

I really can't even begin to organize my thoughts. I cant seem to stop crying, they are a mix of happy and sad tears.

My darling little Lola has finally been born. 6lbs 7 oz, 21 inches. With dark wavy hair and according to her mother, she looks like my Hutchie!

I can't help but be sad because Hutch should be there. He should get to hold his baby girl and they should be a happy little family.

But I know he sent her down to us. I know he kissed her goodbye and told her to come and bless this family. And I know he can see the joy that she will bring.

Hutch, I promise...She will be spoiled. She will be looked after. And she will be the most loved little girl ever to be brought into this world.

As soon as I get to the hospital I will post LOTS and LOTS of pictures.

be warned: She is my new obsession :)

**UPDATE**
I just got home from the hospital, where I got to meet Miss Lola :)

Yes, I am beaming with Pride

No matter how hard we tried the sleepy little girl would not wake up!

Kara looks beautiful! Such a proud mother and a beautiful family.

Kara and Lola, I Love you!!!!!

The Color PINK

For as long as I can remember I have been in love with the color pink. I would go as far as saying I am a bit obsessed with the color. So whenever I think of my "someday" kitchen, the color pink was always included. I even asked a guy I was dating if he would let me get a pink kitchen aid!

Well the more I thought about it, the more I realized pink is a dangerous color. Go overboard and I might as well own all things floral, add about 8 more cats to my collection, and call it good! So with the help of one of my other obsessions I have decided I won't have a pink kitchen but instead it will be an Anthropologie Kitchen. Now I can keep me pink but add in lots of other colors and not be the crazy cat lady, doomed to be single for time and all eternity!

What do you think?

I'm obsessed

Sometimes I wonder if Im a typical girl...or maybe I should've been born as a boy. But I am in LOVE with NBA basketball. It gives me a thrill that I cant even begin to describe.

I still have the biggest grin on my face from watching this



Aren't you excited for Playoffs??? (And yes, my future Husband is in this and he looks GOOD!)

Weekend Home for Easter

The best thing about being at home with my family is seeing the Budge Family. These girls just light up my life! They were so cute on Sunday in their little Easter dresses

This time home however was a tripped to be marked in the history books. In the 25 years that my parents have lived in our PV house we have never once had a heated pool. Basically we had a pool that could be used maybe 1 month total out of the whole year. Well this Easter weekend we all put our swimsuits on and headed out to the backyard. Yup, that's right! The hammond family got in the water. Ok, so it wasnt in the pool, that is still FREEZING but...we have a hot tub!!!! It was amazing. I used it 3 times on saturday and I was in heaven

Strawberry season

Oh how great would it be to be tasting something as yummy as Strawberries for the first time?!
