Dover Kingston // My Baby Brother's Youtube Channel

Hello friends,

I know I talk about him all the time. So, let's put a face to the name. This is my baby brother, David. He recently started a Youtube Channel that I highly suggest checking out. And, not just because I'm bias and he's my brother or the fact that I pop up in videos every now and then. But, he's a really funny guy and he's got some shit to say. He's brand new to this, so be patient with his first few videos...they're getting better I swear! I really like his second video, the one I've chosen to share with you today, despite the horrible fan noise in the background. I've already yelled at him extensively about it lol!! So, do yourself a favor and take a moment to let my brother introduce himself and don't forget to subscribe to his channel!!!

Calvin's Second Birthday at the Children's Museum

Hello friends, 

A few weeks ago, I got to celebrate my favorite nephew's second birthday. Calvin is the first son of my best friend Amanda, owner of Panda Inc. (featured in yesterday's post). He's one of the brightest, happiest, and snuggliest little boys I know. He and his little sister Alice make my heart want to explode with love and pride! That's them in the above photo! The first photo is a side by side comparison from his first birthday, and one from this year. He's a stinker, and I just love him. 

Amanda had the amazing idea to celebrate this little man's big day at The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. It's one of the coolest places in town to take your little ones. There's several floors that are catered to different age groups, and all of them are jam packed with amazingly fun, and educational exhibits for the littles.  Since our little isn't so little any more, we got separated from our group for most of the day. Landon is seven and doesn't exactly like hanging out with 2 year olds, but he was really excited to see Calvin and wish him a happy birthday! Most of our group has littles under the age of 5, so we wandered off in our own direction. 

Landon had too much fun running around the whole building. There were hundreds of shrieks, and smiles throughout the day. We made screen prints, built circuits, and played in water! He learned so much that day. There was even a room dedicated to cars, and motion; they called it 'The Garage'. There was also a lovely section outside with a huge sandbox, and playhouse; that we all could climb! We played on the swings, and rang bells. Landon, Bryan, and David played in mud, and watched bees pollinate flowers just outside the sandbox. Overall, it was a great day. All of my boys had so much fun running around like little kids (yes, even Bryan and David). And at the end of it all, we got to celebrate the life of one cool little dude! All the babies played super hard, and got incredibly sleepy at end of the day. It was a wonderful day!

Do you have any fun museums around you?

::Life Lately:: February in Photos

Hello friends,

It's been a while since I did one of these. I love looking back into the photos of the last month, and putting them together. Bryan and I were sitting at the kitchen table the other night looking through his Instagram account, and it hit me....the blog, our insta accounts, facebook....it's all our modern scrapbook. It really struck me, and gave me the warm and fuzzies. Just another excuse to keep taking photos, I guess. Well anyway, here's late January thru February in photos.

The above photo is of the cutest little kitty that adopted us. She came out of nowhere, and now she lives in our house. Daisy May is the sweetest little formerly homeless kitty.

Landon got a WiiU for Christmas this year...he does not enjoy anything else in life hahah! 

There's been a lot of photo taking, drink drinking, and laughs!


There's also been a lot of coffee, conversations, and pie! Isn't my beardy Bryan so cute?!


I've also had the pleasure of watching these little squirts a few times too. I love the crap out of them!


My sister Amanda and I got to do some makeup together for a play at our highschool.


I got to watch my niece, Alice get baptized. I cried...her mother sang...I cried some more. I was a mess.


There's been a lot of snow lately in Pittsburgh....


Like... a lot of snow!

And below, is a little round up of some photos from my insta account from recently! There's been a lot of art and jewelry making this month. I'm preparing for spring/summer. The start of 2015 has been pretty interesting, and rather exciting! I'm stoked to see where things go in the coming months.
